Remember what she said? After partnering Stosur to the 2019 Australian Open women's doubles title, she said the desire for a Grand Slam title was even stronger.
Zhang Shuai's insistence on three-front combat is dismissive and even criticized, coupled with the impact of the epidemic and the opportunity to give up the opportunity to return to China for training to represent the national team at the Tokyo Olympic Games, which has put her under pressure and controversy, but she is even more eager to win major competitions.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Zhang Shuai re-partnered with Stosur and soon won the Cincinnati women's doubles championship, which was the first 1000 women's doubles championship in her career, and no one could have imagined that this championship would lay the foundation for Zhang Shuai's combination to win the women's doubles championship in the US Open.
The Zhang Shuai duo defeated local players Gauff/McNally 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 to win the US Open women's doubles title with 11 consecutive doubles wins, which was the second Grand Slam title (2019 Australian Open) and the fourth title on the tour since the two of them were paired. This is Zhang Shuai's second and 10th professional Grand Slam women's doubles title, and Stosur's 27th women's doubles title, including four grand slam titles from women's doubles.
This time to win the championship, Zhang Shuai created history for our country - the first Chinese mainland player to win the US Open adult arena championship, fill the US Open without a crown history, and help Chinese mainland women's doubles to complete the history of the golden slam!
