Translation of the article content into English: The camera freezes on the Australian Open court, where Zheng Qinwen stands at the service line, her brows furrowed and a hint of hesitation in her eyes. The referee waves his hand without hesitation to penalize her, coldly uttering "time violation penalty," instantly shattering her concentration. This scene became a turning point in the match, pushing her from the path of victory to the depths of defeat. Have you ever thought that a small decision could so thoroughly determine the direction of a game? Or is this just a concentrated outbreak of a mental crack? After this match, Zheng Qinwen emotionally collapsed, shedding tears on the court after the game, accusing the referee of making arbitrary decisions. This image makes people both heartbroken and sigh. As a rising star in Chinese tennis, she has turned the tide in countless matches, relying on her tenacity and skills to pave her way.

The second day of the 2025 Australian Open main draw has concluded, and it was a day filled with upsets at Melbourne Park, with as many as six seeded players exiting the tournament. Additionally, two Grand Slam champions were unable to progress beyond the first round! In the men's singles, the 10th seed Dimitrov and the 11th seed Tsitsipas both relinquished their spots in the draw; in the women's singles, two former Grand Slam champions, the 16th seed Ostapenko and the 21st seed Azarenka, also experienced "first-round exits."

Australian Open Eliminated Seeds:‌ Men's Singles: [10] Dimitrov, [11] Tsitsipas, [23] Tabilo Women's Singles: [16] Ostapenko, [21] Azarenka, [29] Noskova Among the four eliminated seeds, Dimitrov is the most unfortunate. The 34-year-old Bulgarian veteran announced his withdrawal due to injury when trailing 5-7, 1-2. His opponent, Passano, can be considered the luckiest loser, as he stepped up after Fognini's withdrawal and received the gift of his opponent's withdrawal in the first round, truly standing there to collect a prize of 900,000 yuan! The 11th seed Tsitsipas lost 5-7, 3-6, 6-2, 4-6 to the American prodigy Mikelson born in 2004, stopping in the first round of the Australian Open for the first time in seven years. In the past three Grand Slams, the Greek player has only achieved one victory. In fact, this result is both an upset and not so surprising! As a participant in the ATP Next Gen Finals, Mikelson is the pioneer who holds…
