Australian Open Live: Wang Xinyu vs Noskova, Match Suspended Due to Extreme Heat, Resumption Time Confirmed

On January 24th, Beijing time, the Australian Open women's singles third round is heating up, with Chinese player Wang Xinyu facing the 13th seed Noskova. The match started in the morning but was suspended after four games in the first set due to high temperatures, resulting in a lengthy interruption that truly tested the patience of the fans!

Wang Xinyu is the last remaining hope for the Chinese contingent, drawing significant attention as the beacon for Chinese fans. She achieved a personal breakthrough in the previous round by defeating former French Open champion Ostapenko 2-1, marking her first entry into the Australian Open round of 32. This milestone of reaching the main draw's last 32 in a Grand Slam is very exciting. The biggest question now is whether she can continue this momentum against Noskova Alexander in this round!

Today’s match was originally scheduled for the weekend, making it convenient for fans to watch, but unexpected interruptions caused frustration. The match against Noskova has been delayed multiple times. Firstly, since the tennis courts are shared, the match had to wait for the previous game to finish, meaning only the first match of the day starts on time; others have uncertain start times. Wang Xinyu’s match, initially set for 9:30 AM, was postponed to 11:25 AM because the prior match wasn’t finished. Then, after the first set reached 2-2 in the fourth game, another problem arose: without a roof, the extreme heat reached around 45 degrees Celsius on site. For the players’ health, the match was suspended again and only resumed at 4:30 PM!

The match between the two players has now restarted. Hopefully, this delay won’t affect Wang Xinyu’s rhythm. When rivals meet, the brave win—let’s go, give it your all!
