The WTA500 Adelaide tournament is in full swing in 2025, with Chinese player Wang Xinyu participating and defeating German opponent Maria in the first round of qualifying! It's worth noting that Wang Xinyu, ranked 37th in the world, would typically have more than enough qualifications to enter the main draw of the WTA500 Adelaide tournament. However, surprisingly, Wang Xinyu did not receive a spot in the main draw and had to start from the qualifying rounds. The reason for this is that the WTA500 Adelaide tournament is the last warm-up event before the Australian Open begins. Many top-ranked players have the idea of using matches as training to regain their competitive form, so they all participate in the WTA500 Adelaide tournament! As a result, Wang Xinyu, whose world ranking is slightly lower, was squeezed out of the main draw and could only reluctantly participate in the qualifying rounds. Even so, Wang Xinyu's performance did not disappoint, winning both sets with scores of 7-5 and 6-4 against German player Maria, successfully advancing to the next round of the competition. In the first set, Maria quickly entered the game state at the beginning, breaking and holding serve to take a 2-0 lead! Wang Xinyu was not to be outdone, making timely adjustments and winning two consecutive games to tie the score at 2-2. Afterwards, both Wang Xinyu and Maria completed their respective holds, temporarily tying the score at 5-5. In the 11th game, Wang Xinyu gradually adapted to Maria's rhythm, breaking her opponent's serve to lead 6-5. Finally, Wang Xinyu also held…

For this Australian Open, seven Chinese female players, including Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xinyu, and Yuan Yue, have entered the main draw.

Athletes all want to appear on the court and compete with the world's top players. Gao Xinyu is no exception. At 27 years old, Gao Xinyu's previous record wasn't particularly outstanding.

Facing Brazil's Maia and Germany's Siegemund, Gao Xinyu pulled off some impressive upsets, also helping the Chinese team advance to the quarterfinals of the United Cup. Players like Maia, ranked in the top 20 in the world, and Siegemund, ranked 80th, were defeated by Gao Xinyu, which raised Chinese fans' expectations for her to make it to the main draw of the Australian Open. Gao Xinyu's opponent was Martic, currently ranked 132nd in the world. Her best career achievement in Grand Slam tournaments was reaching the quarterfinals.
