As early as 2004, Zheng Jie reached the round of 16 of the French Open at Roland Garros, becoming the first Chinese player to reach the round of 16 of a Grand Slam. In 2011, Li Na sang all the way to the French Open, becoming the first person in China and the whole of Asia to win a Grand Slam title. All these fully show that the French Open is undoubtedly the blessed land of Chinese women's tennis.
However, yesterday in the second round of women's doubles, Wang Xinyu, Zheng Saisai, Jiang Xinyu, and Yuan Yue all lost to their opponents one after another, resulting in the annihilation of Chinese women's tennis players in the French Open women's doubles. So, who are the Chinese girls competing in the French Open women's doubles? How are they doing? Today, let this article take you to take a look.
Veteran Zhang Shuai has reached the women's doubles finals at the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open, but her record at the French Open is a little unmatched. So far, Zhang Shuai's best result in women's doubles at the French Open has only been the quarterfinals. Coming to the French Open this year, it was only at the last minute that she decided to partner with Australia's Gadeki in the French Open Women's Doubles.
In the first round, Zhang Shuai and the combination met the top seed of the tournament composed of Czech player Siniakova and American player Townsend De, in this match, although Zhang Shuai team in the first set of the unfavorable situation, in the second set of the game dragged the game into a tie-break, but unfortunately due to the teammate's lack of strength, in the end still hated to lose.
Guo Hanyu, who won the WTA 500 women's doubles championship this year, and Japan's Eina Shibahara formed a partnership, and in the first round, they failed to grasp the lead in the favorable situation of taking the lead through the tie-break, and were reversed by British players Burrich and Qatar in two consecutive sets, and were shocked out; Xu Yifan partnered with Ukraine's Kalinina, and they only won one game in the first round and were swept out by their opponents.
Yuan Yue, who won the WTA 250 Women's Doubles title this year, partnered with New Zealand's Sun Lulu to reach the second round of the French Open for the first time in a three-set battle against Russia's Blinkova and Egypt's Sharif. Jiang Xinyu and Wu Fangxian only allowed their opponents to win five games in two sets, and after beating their opponents, they successfully advanced.
Tang Qianhui partnered with Japan's Makoto Ninomiya to sweep the wild card combination of Frenchman Le Shemia and Chen Xia Lini to win a hearty victory. Wang Xinyu and Zheng Saisai brought us joy after a hard-fought three-set victory over Russia's Kromachava and Hungary's Stolar to end a four-game losing streak.
In the second round, Tang Qianhui's opponent was the French wild card Garcia and Parry. In this match, Tang Qianhui took the lead, but unfortunately, in the subsequent game, they were beaten by the French pair in two sets in a row and were disgraced.
The Yuan Yue pair met Italy's in the second round of Women's DoublesThe combination of Paulini and Errani, it is worth mentioning that Yuan Yue lost to Paulini in the singles arena and suffered eight consecutive defeats in a Grand Slam. In this doubles match, despite the best efforts of the Yuan Yue combination, they were still defeated by their opponents in straight sets, and just like that, Yuan Yue had to go home.
The Straits also lost to their opponents in the second round and stopped their progress. In this way, only Wang Xinyu and Zheng Saisai are still stuck in the signing table, so what will be their fate?
Wang Xinyu and Zheng Saisai won the first set with difficulty through a tie-break. However, Norway's Ekri and Japan's Eri Hozumi then took full control of the court, winning two sets in quick succession to defeat Wang Xinyu and Zheng Saisai. As a result, the French Open women's doubles court has just finished two rounds, and there are no Chinese women's tennis players. Hopefully, they will have a good record in future Grand Slam tournaments. That's it for today, and it will continue tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
