As a result, Sabalenka and Badosa met in the semi-finals, while the No. 3 seed Gauff was eliminated early, ending her 11-match winning streak across seasons. Gauff, the No. 3 seed, faced Badosa, the No. 11 seed. They had previously played six times, with each winning three matches. Before the match, Gauff was more favored to advance, having won nine consecutive matches at the start of the year and 13 consecutive matches across seasons. However, Badosa proved her strength in the match. In the first set, both players held serve for the first ten games, reaching a 5-5 tie. Then, in the eleventh game, Badosa achieved a crucial break, followed by holding serve in the twelfth game, winning the set 7-5. In the second set, there was a battle of breaks, with Badosa breaking three times and Gauff twice. The key break in the eighth game gave Badosa a 5-3 lead, which she maintained by holding serve in the tenth game, winning the set 6-4 and the match 2-0, surprisingly eliminating Gauff. Thus, Badosa became the first player to advance to the women's singles semi-finals at this year's Australian Open. She is also the fourth Spanish player in the Open Era to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam event and the first Spanish female player to do so in the last five years. Sabalenka, the No. 1 seed, faced Pavlyuchenkova, the…

In the fourth round of the women's singles competition in the upper half of the 2025 Australian Open on January 19th, Beijing time, the list of eight finalists was finally announced without any major upsets. However, some key matches still had their highlights, with veterans and newcomers competing on the same stage, tension and suspense intertwined, adding a bold stroke to the battle for the top eight at the Australian Open. Sabalenka Sweeps Through to the Quarterfinals, Continues Hard Court Dominance Top seed Aryna Sabalenka demonstrated her strength as a top player, easily sweeping past 17-year-old Russian newcomer Mirra Andreeva with a score of 6-1/6-2, advancing to the quarterfinals with full force. This victory is not only Sabalenka's 18th consecutive win at the Australian Open in her career but also her ninth consecutive win this season. Since Serena Williams in 2004, she has become the youngest female player to win 18 consecutive Grand Slam matches on hard courts, a performance that can be called a legend on contemporary hard courts. Spanish Beauty Ends "Dark Horse" Myth 11th seed Paula Badosa faced "dark horse" Danka Kovinić in another focus match. Kovinić had previously caused an upset by eliminating the 7th seed Pegula in the third round, entering the round of 16. However, in this match, Badosa used tactics to completely dismantle Kovinić's "myth," ending her dark horse journey with a straight-set victory of 6-1/7-6(2). Thus, Badosa advanced to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open women's singles for the first time, equaling her personal best Grand Slam record and once again refreshing…

In the women's singles arena of the Australian Open, the results of the matches are always filled with various surprises and upsets. In the previous round, Siegemund had an excellent performance, causing a sensation by eliminating the No. 5 seed Zheng Qinwen. It was expected that she would continue this momentum. However, in the third round of the women's singles, Siegemund was swept aside by the Russian veteran Pavlyuchenkova, ending her run there. This third-round match, despite being held early in the day, attracted the attention of many Chinese fans due to the controversy surrounding Siegemund's elimination of Zheng Qinwen in the previous round. Before the match, although Pavlyuchenkova's world ranking was higher than Siegemund's, Siegemund had slightly higher support rates. After all, her performance in the previous round was too impressive. However, once the match began, it became clear that Pavlyuchenkova's strength had been underestimated by many. As the 27th seed, she overwhelmed Siegemund's versatile playing style with her aggressive serving and powerful baseline attacks. She remained solid in her own service games and was even more dominant in return games, often scoring directly off returns and dealing with Siegemund's attacking serves exceptionally well. As a result, Siegemund was eliminated after only winning three games, leaving many domestic fans sighing in disbelief. During this time, Zheng Qinwen's detractors began to stir up trouble again. Seizing on the outcome of Pavlyuchenkova sweeping Siegemund, they belittled Zheng Qinwen. The world-ranked Pavlyuchenkova, who has been ranked in the 30s for many years and has been relatively inactive, could sweep Siegemund, while the…

On the evening of January 16th, Beijing time, the last match of the second round of the new season's Australian Open women's singles saw the No. 4 seed, Paulini, defeat Zalazuhua with a total score of 2-0, advancing to the next round. With this victory, the top 32 in the women's singles have been finalized, with American players occupying many seats, totaling 5 who have advanced, including Gauff, Pegula, Navarro, Collins, and Keys. However, none of the Chinese players managed to win, resulting in a complete wipeout. In the first round, Paulini easily eliminated Weisjia with a 2-0 victory. Her opponent in the second round was also ranked outside the top 70 in the world, Zalazuhua. For Paulini, as long as she played normally, she could secure a stable win. In the first set, Paulini was broken at the start but immediately broke back in the second game, followed by breaks in the fourth and eighth games, winning the set 6-2. In the second set, both players engaged in a break battle, with Paulini breaking serve three times, one more than her opponent, winning the set 6-3 and the match with a total score of 2-0 against Zalazuhua. With Paulini's advancement, all the top 32 spots in the women's singles have been filled. Today's successful players include Swiatek, Paulini, Rybakina, Navarro, Kasatkina, Collins, Kudermetova, Keys, Raducanu, Maria, Jabeur, Putintseva, Christian, Lis, Svitolina, and Yastremska. Yesterday's successful players were Sabalenka, Gauff, Pegula, Mira Andreeva, Naomi Osaka, Schneider, Fernandez, Badosa, Vekic, Kostyuk, Pavlyuchenkova, Siegemund, Bencic, Tauson, Danilovic, and Fletcher.

The main event of the 2025 Australian Open is about to begin and will kick off on January 12th. The most anticipated women's singles matches will be broadcast live by CCTV throughout the tournament. On the first day of competition, Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xinyu, and Yuan Yue will lead the charge. Among them, Zheng Qinwen will face Todorini, Wang Xinyu will face Badosa, and Yuan Yue will face Pavlyuchenkova. Whether these three Chinese players can all advance to the second round is highly anticipated. As the No. 5 seed in the tournament, Zheng Qinwen will face qualifier Todorini, which is also her first match in her bid for the championship. Naturally, she hopes to start with a victory. Judging from the charity exhibition matches held in the past few days, Zheng Qinwen has shown remarkable form, with improvements in serving, changing lines, baseline play, and rallying, all of which are related to her winter training. She should be able to advance smoothly to the next round. However, both Wang Xinyu and Yuan Yue face strong opponents. Especially Wang Xinyu, who was eliminated in the first round from the Brisbane Station to the Adelaide Station, is likely to be eliminated in the same way in the first round of this Australian Open, given her poor recent form. For the new season's Australian Open, CCTV will provide live broadcasts throughout the tournament and has arranged two channels, CCTV5 and CCTV5+, to facilitate domestic fans' viewing. The above is the broadcasting plan for the previous day of the CCTV5 channel, which scheduled to…

For Zheng Qinwen, she does not yet possess the ability to sweep through like top players such as Swiatek and Sabalenka, but a favorable draw can give her wings.

Now, her goal is not only to surpass herself but also to claim the championship! Round-by-round analysis of the promotion path: Round 3 is the turning point Rounds 1 and 2: A steady start According to Grand Slam rules, seeded players will not face other seeded players in the first two rounds.

Her win rate against players ranked outside the top 50 is over 90%, and achieving a "dominant victory"…
