Buyunchaokete clinched his tenth victory of the season with a stunning performance, while Zhang Shuai’s passionate play earned her the title of New York’s Wonder Woman.

Once Buyunchaokete and Zhang Shuai’s match concluded, fans and viewers confessed that their adrenaline levels soared, and the excitement for watching tennis was once again fully ignited by these two athletes.

After passing the first round at the Winston-Salem 250 and earning his ninth win of the season, many believed Buyunchaokete’s quest for a tenth victory would be postponed when he faced Tsitsipas in the second round. The implication was that, with China’s top player up against a star like Tsitsipas, the odds of an early exit were high. Regardless of Buyunchaokete’s fluctuating form, even if he was at his best, toppling Tsitsipas seemed nearly impossible.

As the two began their match, most expected Tsitsipas to take control from the start, delivering a one-sided contest that matched pre-match predictions and handing Buyunchaokete a swift defeat.

To everyone’s surprise, it was China’s top player who took the initiative. When Buyunchaokete surged ahead 3-1 in the first set, the livestream chat exploded: “Has Buyunchaokete been supercharged or fired up? He’s so fierce that Tsitsipas has no answer!”

What truly impressed everyone about Buyunchaokete was that, even after Tsitsipas broke back under pressure, he quickly regained composure and delivered a decisive break in the crucial eighth game, ultimately claiming the first set 6-3.

The second set unfolded much like the first. Many assumed Tsitsipas would mount a strong comeback after dropping the opening set, but instead, he seemed stunned by Buyunchaokete’s relentless play.

With Buyunchaokete breaking Tsitsipas twice in a row to lead 4-0, and seeing no significant improvement in the Greek star’s performance, the outcome of the match became clear.

When China’s top player sealed the second set 6-2 and clinched the match, the livestream was instantly flooded with praise for Buyunchaokete. Everyone celebrated his incredible achievement, hailing his astonishing victory over Tsitsipas as the season’s tenth win and a true game-changer.

Why did Buyunchaokete’s victory spark such excitement? He ended a nine-match losing streak against Top 30 players and an eighteen-match skid against Top 50 opponents, while also breaking Tsitsipas’s undefeated record against Chinese players.

News of China’s top player defeating Tsitsipas quickly spread, and the ATP Tour’s official website promptly congratulated Buyunchaokete, emphasizing his triumph over the tournament’s number one seed.

Buyunchaokete himself was especially thrilled. Besides sharing his advance to the last sixteen on social media, he was visibly delighted in his post-match interview, saying, “Beating a top seed in the draw gives you huge confidence, so I just tried to enjoy my form. Winning two matches in a tournament isn’t easy, and I haven’t had many good results in main draws this year.”

Given Buyunchaokete’s current surge in confidence, he’s widely expected to keep progressing in his next round against Argentina’s Navone, with some even predicting he’ll secure a spot in the quarterfinals.

Buyunchaokete’s performance in Winston-Salem sparked wild cheers from fans and netizens, while 36-year-old Zhang Shuai played with electrifying passion in New York’s Flushing Meadows, thrilling everyone watching!

Zhang Shuai faced wildcard player Stoyana in the first round of the US Open qualifiers, immediately encountering a formidable challenge and serious trouble early on.

When Zhang Shuai fell behind 1-5 in the first set, everyone in the livestream feared the worst, convinced the veteran Chinese player would lose the set. Many also worried that, given Zhang’s age of 36, a comeback would be uncertain if she dropped the opener.

Just as everyone was losing faith in Zhang Shuai, she suddenly channeled a warrior’s spirit at her lowest point, winning six consecutive games to deliver a stunning comeback, edging out the wildcard player 7-5 in a dramatic first set finish.

After this blow, Stoyana never regained her fighting spirit in the second set. With Zhang Shuai taking control, the match’s outcome became clear, and she closed out the second set 6-3, advancing to the next round of US Open qualifying.

The praise for Zhang Shuai after the match was just as enthusiastic as the surprise Buyunchaokete brought, with fans bestowing her the nickname “New York’s Wonder Woman.” They emphasized that Zhang consistently steps up when Chinese tennis needs her most and always exceeds expectations on the court, saying, “Experience is the real advantage—may she continue her heroics at the US Open!” (Source: Tennis Home, Author: Moon River’s Starry Sky)
