After two intense sets, they emerged victorious with a 2-0 scoreline, securing their place in the round of 16. In the first set, Wang Xinyu and Zheng Saisai started strong, quickly getting into the game and not giving their opponents any chance to counterattack. Shibahara and Kudermetova were caught off guard, and Wang Xinyu and Zheng Saisai capitalized on this, launching a fierce offensive that widened the gap in scores. They ultimately won the first set 6-1. In the second set, Shibahara and Kudermetova, who had an unfavorable start, made timely adjustments and launched a strong counterattack. Wang Xinyu and Zheng Saisai initially struggled to adapt to their opponents' attacking rhythm, allowing Shibahara and Kudermetova to break serve and hold, taking a temporary lead of 3-0.

On January 18th, Beijing time, the 2025 Australian Open continued. In a focus match of the first round of women's doubles, the Chinese pair Wang Xinyu/Zheng Saisai saved match points to defeat the cross-border pairing of Wang Xiuyu and Putinceva. During the game, Wang Xinyu's high looks and sweet smile left a deep impression on the fans. Although the draw for the women's singles was not good and she drew the fifth seed Badosa in the first round, Wang Xinyu still had a chance to win. Her wonderful offense made the audience at the Australian Open exclaim continuously. Unfortunately, due to too many unforced errors, Wang Xinyu missed the victory. After being eliminated from the women's singles, Wang Xinyu devoted all her energy to the doubles court. She and Zheng Saisai's combination once trailed 2-5 in the decisive set under an unfavorable situation, but they fought back tenaciously, saved match points, and won five consecutive games to advance to the second round of the women's doubles. After successfully advancing, Wang Xinyu is expected to continue challenging and impacting her second Grand Slam doubles championship trophy. The 23-year-old Wang Xinyu was born into a sports family. Her father is Wang Peng, the former coach of the Chinese national tennis team, and her mother is a basketball player. Inheriting her parents' excellent athletic genes, Wang Xinyu stands at 1.82 meters tall, with solid fundamentals and no weaknesses in forehand or backhand. Wang Xinyu became famous at a young age.

On January 9th, the qualifying round of the Australian Open witnessed an intense battle between Chinese player Siwei Wang and Stojanovic. The match lasted nearly three hours, with Wang Siwei ultimately achieving a 2-1 comeback victory over her opponent, setting new records in her career. Not only did she make her first entry into the main draw of a Grand Slam event, but she also became the eighth Chinese player to directly qualify for the Australian Open. This remarkable achievement is a testament to her relentless efforts and tenacity. From the outset of the match, Wang faced fierce opposition from her opponent. In the first set, she was broken early on by Stojanovic, falling behind 0-1, which put her in a slightly passive position. However, this minor setback did not deter her; instead, it ignited her fighting spirit. In the fourth game, she managed to break back with solid serves and sharp returns, leveling the score at 4-4, much to the excitement of the spectators. Stojanovic did not give her a moment's respite, breaking her serve again and securing the first set with a 6-4 victory. In the second set, Wang fully adjusted her state. After starting the set with a serve advantage, she quickly took a 4-3 lead. The ensuing games saw both players trading breaks, with the intensity of the match igniting sparks. In a critical moment, Wang seized the opportunity in the tenth game, breaking her opponent's serve to drag the match into a decisive third set, eventually winning the set 6-4 to level the match. As…

Four Star Players All Coldly Eliminated in the First Round! Chinese Tennis Encounters a Waterloo, Is It Basically Over for the Australian Open? The phrase "one-round tour" sounds disheartening. In the pre-Australian Open tournament, four rising stars of Chinese tennis - Yuan Yue, Zhang Zhizhen, Wang Xiyu, and Wang Xinyu - all failed to advance beyond the first round. As soon as the match ended, the internet erupted with many people expressing their "disappointment," and some even saying that "after Li Na, Chinese tennis has reached its end." Is this really the case? In fact, the result of this match is indeed a bit painful, but if we only focus on the outcome of one match, it may be too short-sighted. Sports competitions have always been a process of ups and downs, and perhaps there are deeper issues behind this "one-round tour." Is it a lack of strength? Or is it a problem with psychological endurance? Is Chinese tennis really stuck in a bottleneck? Today, let's delve into this issue. In the 2014 Australian Open final, Li Na reached the pinnacle of the world, becoming the first Asian player to lift the Australian Open trophy. This was not only the peak moment of her career but also a highlight for Chinese tennis. That year, almost all the news was talking about the "light of Asia." Li Na's victory not only ignited the passion of countless fans but also became an unshakable benchmark for Chinese tennis. However, the higher the benchmark, the greater the pressure on those who follow. In recent…

On January 12, 2025, the Australian Open Tennis Championships continued with a major upset in the first round. Last year's quarterfinalist and 29th seed, Marketa Vondrousova, lost 1-2 to Danish player Clara Tauson, becoming the first eliminated singles seed. Chinese players had a mixed day with one win and two losses, with only Zheng Qinwen advancing. In the women's singles, the first seeded player of this year's Australian Open was eliminated. Czech star and 29th seed Marketa Vondrousova suffered a comeback defeat, losing 7-5/3-6/4-6 to Danish player Clara Tauson. After leading 1-0, she lost two consecutive sets. Recall that in last year's Australian Open, Vondrousova made a strong rise, defeating Swiatek to reach the quarterfinals, leaving a deep impression on many. However, this year she started off poorly, indicating that her overall abilities still fall short. Chinese players experienced both joy and concern. Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen did not have an easy victory, winning 7-6(3)/6-1 against Romanian player Elena-Gabriela Ruse. In the first set, her opponent took the lead, but Zheng saved three match points and seized the opportunity in the tiebreak. In the second set, as Zheng found her rhythm, Ruse was helpless. As the runner-up of last year's Australian Open, Zheng has now advanced to the second round for four consecutive years. As for Wang Xinyu, her performance was average, losing 3-6/6-7(5) to 11th seed Spanish player Paula Badosa. This result was not unexpected, but the process was somewhat regrettable. In the first set, Wang led 3-1 but failed to maintain her advantage, allowing Badosa to win five…

When the Chinese tennis team suffered an "early exit" in their last tour before the Australian Open, everyone's heart was in their throat - were the opponents too strong, or were we not good enough? The more direct question is, does this performance mean that the upcoming Australian Open will be a complete disaster? In fact, this situation is both disappointing and not entirely unexpected. In recent years, Chinese tennis has been stumbling since Li Na's retirement, occasionally showing flashes of brilliance but never really taking off. This collective failure may be disheartening for fans, but it may be a real wake-up call for the players themselves. So, the question is, is this due to unfavorable circumstances, or are our own weaknesses exposed? If you know a little about Chinese women's tennis, you should be familiar with the name Yuan Yue. She was once a promising "prodigy" in her youth, with bold play and a distinctive personality, standing out on the court. However, in recent years, her performance has dimmed these "halos." Everyone knows that Yuan Yue has the skills and potential, but in key matches, she always seems to lose focus - either her error rate soars or her mental state collapses. In this tour, she faced an opponent who wasn't particularly high-ranked, yet she couldn't even maintain a basic rhythm and quickly ended the match. This early exit reflects her current state: too few good shots and too many unforced errors. Psychologists have said that tennis is not only a physical competition but also a "psychological battle." Yuan…

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…

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…
