On January 8th, the second round of the women's singles qualifying event for the 2025 Australian Open was fully underway. The latest battle report indicates that Chinese tennis star Wei Sijia achieved a decisive victory within just 78 minutes, winning two sets with scores of 6-3 each, sweeping aside her German opponent, Koppach, who is ranked 174th in the world. This victory not only secured her two consecutive wins but also earned her nearly 330,000 RMB in prize money. She will now focus on advancing to the main draw of the Australian Open.
Last year, Wei Sijia reached the final round of the Australian Open qualifying event but lost 0-2 to Brenda, narrowly missing out on her first Grand Slam main draw appearance. A year later, the 21-year-old Chinese player returned to Melbourne. Having recently won the women's singles runner-up title at the W125 Canberra station, she defeated Sasnovich 2-1 in the first round of the qualifying event and faced Koppach in the second round.
As the 25th seed in the Australian Open qualifying event, Wei Sijia broke serve twice in the third and fifth games of the first set, while Koppach managed to break back in the sixth game to reduce the gap. Wei Sijia withstood the pressure and took the first set by breaking serve in the ninth game, winning 6-3. In the second set, Wei Sijia broke serve again in the sixth game with a 'love game,' and after Koppach brought the score to 3-4, the Chinese player broke serve and held serve to win the match 6-3. Throughout the match, Wei Sijia created nine break points and converted five, securing 20 winners, which was double that of her opponent, making her victory well-deserved.
With this victory, Wei Sijia has unlocked two consecutive wins in the Australian Open qualifying event, earning 30 points and 72,000 AUD, equivalent to nearly 330,000 RMB in prize money. She has advanced directly to the decisive round, awaiting the winner between the 11th seed Montgomery and Stojanovic. She is now only one win away from her first Australian Open and Grand Slam main draw appearance. We look forward to Wei Sijia's successful realization of her dream. Go for it!
