Original title: Peng Shuai's New Year meets obstacles

China's former ranking first, the 33-year-old women's tennis star Peng Shuai, since the lifting of the ban, has won 14 singles consecutive games, won 3 championships, but in early 2019 can not reach the threshold of victory. In the first round of the Australian Open women's singles, Peng Shuai lost 2-6 and 1-6 to Bouchard, continuing the record of no winless in 2019 singles.

Peng Shuai's current world ranking is only 128, and this time he can stand on the stage of the Australian Open main competition, which is also the result of Peng Shuai's own fight. Although in amazing shape in 2018, Peng Shuai suffered a loss in the first battle in early 2019 and was forced to retire due to cramps in the first round of the decider in Shenzhen. However, Peng Shuai's body was not in serious trouble.

At the Australian Open, Peng Shuai's first-round opponent is Canada's new sharp Bouchard. Similar to Peng Shuai, Bouchard is also slowly coming out of a long injury and downturn. Bouchard, once in the top 5 in the world, has now fallen to 79th.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Bouchard this time, Peng Shuai's feel was obviously inferior to his opponent. Peng Shuai only won 3 sets in the whole game, saved a match point at the end of the game, and was swept by the opponent in two sets, and did not qualify.

The game played for a total of 59 minutes, Peng Shuai sent two ace balls, two double errors; Bouchard sent two ace balls, one double error. In addition, Peng Shuai's second-serve scoring rate is only 24%, while Bouchard's second-serve scoring rate is 55%. In terms of total scores, Peng Shuai fell behind 35-53.

After the match, Peng Shuai said that the loss would not affect her morale, "in fact, it is normal to win or lose the game." Talking about the Australian Open Grand Slam opponent Bouchard, Peng Shuai said that although the opponent's ranking has now fallen, his strength is still quite strong. Next, Peng Shuai will also partner Yang Zhaoxuan to participate in the Australian Open women's doubles competition.
