The new year has seen the WTA events fully underway, with Chinese tennis players making a comprehensive push for better results. However, on a recent day, Chinese tennis suffered heavy losses with three players exiting the competition. At the WTA500 Adelaide station, Wang Xinyu lost her match. At the WTA250 Hobart station, Yuan Yue and Wang Xiyu were eliminated.
At the Adelaide station, facing the local rising star Jones, who is currently ranked 373rd in the world, everyone thought that Wang Xinyu would easily advance to the next round before the match. After all, whether it was in terms of ranking or experience in major competitions, Wang Xinyu had an advantage over her opponent. However, the result of the match was unexpected. It was not surprising that Wang Xinyu started slowly and lost the first set 4-6. Entering the second set, fans believed that Wang Xinyu, facing a passive situation, would stage a comeback. But it turned out to be wishful thinking on the part of the fans. Wang Xinyu was "shaved" by her opponent, losing another set 0-6. Ultimately, Wang Xinyu was eliminated with a score of 0-2.
At the Hobart station, Wang Xiyu faced the No. 6 seed Avaneishvili. Losing was expected, but Wang Xiyu missed many opportunities during the match. Especially in the second set, Wang Xiyu once led 5-3. In her own serve-to-win set, she missed the opportunity. Then, on her opponent's serve, Wang Xiyu missed two break points. Instead, she was reversed by her opponent, who won four consecutive games. Wang Xiyu was also eliminated with a score of 0-2.
Yuan Yue's opponent was Osorio. To be honest, Yuan Yue won the start but lost the result. In the first set, Yuan Yue once led 2-1, but was reversed by her opponent 6-2. In the second set, Yuan Yue once led 3-2, but was reversed by her opponent 6-3. Ultimately, Yuan Yue was defeated by her opponent with a score of 0-2 and eliminated.
Such results are indeed regrettable! On one day, three golden flowers were eliminated. The Australian Open is just around the corner, and Wang Xinyu, Yuan Yue, and Wang Xiyu have all entered the main draw. It was originally thought that they would use this opportunity to adjust their state and prepare for the upcoming Australian Open. Unfortunately, they were eliminated early!
Of course, at the Australian Open, the focus of the fans is basically on Zheng Qinwen. After fulfilling her Olympic dream, Zheng Qinwen will next aim to win her first Grand Slam title. With the big tournament approaching, Zheng Qinwen received bad news! Because Sabalenka is too strong!
In the recently concluded Brisbane station competition, Sabalenka's form has been improving, and she eventually won the championship successfully. In the upcoming Australian Open, Sabalenka will be the biggest obstacle for Zheng Qinwen in her pursuit of the championship. Additionally, American player Gauff is also in good form. In the United Cup, Gauff led the American team to victory. In the final, she even defeated the world No. 2 Swiatek.
Zheng Qinwen, who aims to win the championship, did not play any matches before the Australian Open, so it is unclear what her form is like! Will she be able to fulfill her wish and win the championship? We'll have to wait and see!
