In the early morning of July 1, Beijing time, the 2021 Wimbledon entered the third matchday competition. Chinese player Wang Yafan, who appeared as a lucky ball carrier, lost in only one set to Czech doubles star Snyakova and missed the promotion. Another Chinese player, Zhu Lin, resisted 58 minutes and lost 10 consecutive sets in the final stages to 2-6, 0-6 to match 13th seed Mertens. Zhu Lin has made seven first-round trips in 11 Grand Slam women's singles tournaments, and the other four have stopped in the second round; so far, there are no Chinese mainland players in this year's Wimbledon women's singles signing table.
Zhu Lin reversed the "Golden Flower Killer" Bassel in the first round of the last five appearances in the Grand Slam regular tournament four times to break through the first round, but the previous three appearances in the second round of the tournament all lost failed to go further. Today, Zhu Lin is facing a Belgian sister Mertens. The two have met 3 times before, and Zhu Lin is in the inferior position with 1 win and 2 losses, which is also the second time the two have met in the Grand Slam arena after the second round of this year's Australian Open. More than four months ago, Zhu Lin lost 6(8)-7, 1-6.
In today's game, after the two sides protect each other's first serve, they immediately break each other's serves. After reaching a 2-2 draw, the balance of the game gradually tilted towards Mertens. In the face of the opponent's super defensive counterattack ability, Zhu Lin is difficult to deal with. First lost four consecutive sets to lose the first set 2-6.
Then, after the second set was still broken after a tug-of-war in the first set, Zhu Lin could not resist any longer. In the end, he swallowed the egg in the second set, losing two sets in ten consecutive sets to lose 2-6/ 0-6 to Mertens. On the third match day, Zhang Shuai, Wang Yafan and Zhu Lin were successively eliminated in the Wimbledon women's singles on the same day. Mertens also became the first player to advance to the third round of the women's singles.
Wang Yafan was able to play at Wimbledon as a lucky transporter after the withdrawal of host darling Konta, and her first-round play against Soniakova took only 55 minutes. Siniakova recently won the French Open women's doubles title with her partner Krejickova, and then finished second in women's singles at the Bad Homburg grass race. This is the third meeting between Siniakova and Wang Yafan, with the former maintaining a complete victory.
At the beginning of the game, Soniakova quickly took the initiative, and the Czech girl broke consecutively with the advantage of attack, establishing a 5-0 lead early. Wang Yafan scored four straight points to defend the sixth set to avoid swallowing eggs in the first set, but China Jinhua lost seven consecutive sets. Syniakova maintained her advantage in the first set until the end of the set, and the second set was to win the game.
