On April 14, Beijing time, the latest WTA world rankings have just been announced, and in terms of the much-watched Chinese Jinhua, there are still only two in the top 100 women's singles this week - Zheng Qinwen, who ranks 8th with 4135 points, and Wang Xinyu, who ranks 41st with 1298 points.
As the current Chinese Jinhua (and Asia's first sister, Rybakina is ranked 10th in the world with 3,808 points), Zheng Qinwen's form at the beginning of this season was not very good. The Australian Open, the tournament's No. 5 seed, was soon knocked out in the second round by German veteran Sigmund despite beating qualifier Todoni in straight sets in the first round.
You must know that as the runner-up winner of last year's tournament, an early exit in the second round also meant that Zheng Qinwen lost a huge number of points, and after deducting 1230 points, her world ranking went from fifth to eighth.
After a break, Zheng Qinwen moved to the Middle East to play in two high-level tournaments, but lost to Jabbar in the first game in Doha. In Dubai, he was eliminated in the second round by American player Stearns.
Fortunately, Pere Riba returned to Zheng's team at the end of February, and after a familiar coach in charge, Zheng Qinwen quickly adjusted his competitive form in the North American Sunshine Doubles in March, reaching the quarterfinals of the women's singles in Indian Wells, Miami and Charleston.
Another Chinese goldenrod, Wang Xinyu, is ranked 41st in the world this week, and her highest ranking is 37th, and she chose Brisbane as her opening event at the start of the season, losing to Kudermetova in the first round.
Then he moved to Adelaide, as the No. 4 seed in the women's singles qualifiers, defeated Maria and Rasimova in a row to successfully advance to the main draw, but was defeated by local player Jones in the first round, and then the Australian Open was also eliminated by Badosa in the first round.
Fortunately, after coming to Singapore, as the No. 4 seed of the tournament, she finally reached the semi-finals of the Women's Singles, and was defeated by the No. 2 seed Mertens in straight sets in the semi-finals.
After arriving in the Middle East, Wang Xinyu, like Zheng Qinwen, struggled to win in singles, and it wasn't until the first round at Indian Wells that she defeated Sheriff 6-4 7-5 to halt a three-game losing streak and eventually walk away with two singles victories here (defeated by Pegula in the third round).
In addition to the above two Jinhua, the current third sister in China is Yuan Yue (the highest 49th) ranked 101st, followed by Wang Yafan (105th), Wang Xiyu (125th), Wei Sijia (129th), Gao Xinyu (147th) and Zhang Shuai (165th).
Looking at the current overall ranking of China's Golden Flowers, except for Zheng Qinwen, who is in the top 10, we have a lack of players in many ranking segments, so who do you think is expected to be in the top 100?(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
