Top 4 at Brisbane Station Born! Sabalenka to Battle Dark Horse, Zheng Qinwen's Struggle for Australian Open Championship Difficult On January 3rd, Beijing time, the quarter-finals of the WTA500 Brisbane Station saw world number one Sabalenka secure another 2-0 victory. With this win, Sabalenka advanced to the semi-finals with a record of three consecutive victories without dropping a single set in these matches. With Sabalenka's advancement, the top four spots at the WTA500 Brisbane Station have been filled. The other three players are Andreeva, Kudryavtseva, and Kalinina. In the semi-finals, Kudryavtseva will face Kalinina, while Sabalenka will take on Andreeva. Looking at the players who have advanced to the top four, Andreeva is undoubtedly the biggest dark horse. At last year's China Open, Andreeva had a match against Zheng Qinwen where she started with a 1-0 lead but was later returned a 6-0 by Zheng Qinwen! Andreeva was even brought to tears by Zheng Qinwen at one point. After a season of training, Andreeva's progress has become increasingly rapid, especially her defensive capabilities and tenacity, which are very threatening. Andreeva has faced Sabalenka three times, losing twice but winning once! At last year's French Open, Andreeva made a stunning comeback from a 0-1 deficit to defeat Sabalenka 2-1. It's clear that Andreeva is not an easy opponent. If Zheng Qinwen were to meet her again at the Australian Open, it would be no easy feat to defeat Andreeva. Furthermore, Zheng Qinwen has faced Sabalenka five times and has yet to win a single match, only managing to win one set…

Sabalenka's First Show 6-0! She Advances with a Bagel Victory, While Zheng Qinwen Struggles to Overcome Her Nemesis, Making the Australian Open Championship Seem Challenging Is Sabalenka truly invincible? Does Zheng Qinwen stand a chance to break the curse in front of this "hard court queen"? As major tournaments approach, the tennis world always becomes suspenseful due to such thrilling "possibilities." At the beginning of the 2025 season, the clash between the strong and the rising stars has become one of the biggest highlights of this stage. On one side is the fiery and fully present Sabalenka, while on the other is the Chinese rising star Zheng Qinwen, who harbors ambitions but has yet to overcome her "nemesis." This contrast is not only striking but also a focal point of contradiction that cannot be overlooked by all tennis enthusiasts. In the 2024 season, Sabalenka delivered an incredibly brilliant record—winning the Australian Open, the US Open, and being named the WTA Player of the Year at the end of the year. These titles may seem glamorous, but they were not achieved overnight. It should be noted that this Belarusian powerhouse was once controversial for emotional outbursts and inconsistent serving. It was through the meticulous operation of coaches and psychological teams that she transformed from a talented player into a comprehensive technical dominator on the court. Interestingly, hard court events have become her "golden path." The data does not lie: In the Grand Slams and tour events of 2024, Sabalenka, with her powerful first serve scoring ability, always managed to exert endless…

The 2025 WTA Brisbane Station is in full swing. As the first event of the new season and the one before the Australian Open, although the level of the Brisbane Station is not high, it has attracted many excellent players to participate. The world No. 1 Sabalenka participated in this event with the aim of warming up for the upcoming Australian Open. In this event, four Chinese female tennis players participated. However, after the first round, only Yuan Yue advanced. In the third round, Yuan Yue met with Ukrainian player Kalinina. In the second round, Yuan Yue faced the 9th seed from Ukraine, Kostyuk, ranked 18th in the world, and won 2-0 to advance. Facing Kalinina, fans hoped that Yuan Yue could continue her winning streak and win again. Unfortunately, the result was disappointing! In the first set, Yuan Yue was completely out of form. The rhythm was completely controlled by the opponent. Kalinina took a big lead of 5-0 at the beginning. The sixth game was Kalinina's serve-to-win game. Unexpectedly, Yuan Yue broke the serve. Although Yuan Yue avoided the embarrassment of being shut out, she still lost the first set 1-6. Entering the second set, Yuan Yue did not show the desperate fighting stance of a last stand. When trailing 2-5, Yuan Yue once narrowed the score to 4-5, but the opponent seized the opportunity in the second serve-to-win game and won another set 6-4. As a result, Yuan Yue lost 0-2 to Kalinina and was eliminated in the third round of the Brisbane Station. All Chinese female…

In the quarterfinals, Team China made a last-minute change to their lineup, replacing Gao Xinyu with veteran Zhang Shuai.

Zheng Qinwen suffers a significant loss as the Chinese team advances to the United Cup quarter-finals and prepares to face the American team. On December 31st, Beijing time, during the second round of the women's singles group stage at the United Cup, Gao Xinyu defeated Siegemund 2-1, securing a crucial point for the Chinese team. With this victory, the Chinese team has not only secured a spot in the top eight but also achieved their second consecutive year of reaching the quarter-finals. Their upcoming opponents in the quarter-finals will be the American team led by Gauff.

However, after her withdrawal, the team did not choose the experienced Zhang Shuai to replace her; instead, the opportunity fell to Gao Xinyu.

Tennis, compared to other sports, is considered a relatively niche athletic activity. Many viewers became interested in the sport only after the emergence of Chinese player Li Na. After Li Na's retirement, the sport was once again relegated to obscurity by audiences. It wasn't until recent years that a group of outstanding Chinese tennis athletes appeared, causing the sport to regain public attention. The primary contributor to this phenomenon is none other than tennis queen Zheng Qinwen. Zheng Qinwen's peak moment was undoubtedly winning the Olympic women's singles championship, which also made her China's first-ever Olympic women's singles champion. The value of this gold medal speaks for itself. Not only did it introduce more people to Zheng Qinwen, but it also elevated her sporting career to new heights, achieving both fame and fortune. As we all know, the income sources for athletes extend beyond competition winnings; brand endorsements constitute the bulk of their earnings.
