The first round of the nine-stop competition, what happened to China's Jinhua?

As the first week of the warm-up tournament for the 2025 grass court season, the Queen's Cup and 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands will be played at the same time. Among them, China's Jinhua Wang Xinyu played as the No. 6 seed in the women's singles of the Netherlands, and her first-round opponent was Australia's Birrell.

The disparity in rankings made fans think that Wang Xinyu could start a new grass court season with a victory, but China's Jinhua finally lost to her opponent in three sets with a score of 5-7 7-6 1-6 and missed out on advancing to the last 16 of the women's singles in the Netherlands.

Throughout the game, Wang Xinyu's performance cannot be said to be very bad, but he always drops the chain at key points. For example, he missed three consecutive set points in the first set, and although he struggled to win a tie-break in the second set, he quickly lost the tiebreaker.

Wang Xinyu, who played in the first round, has slipped to 48th in the world rankings, and if she can't adjust her form in time, then the Chinese Jinhua rankings, which still have many points to protect in the second half of the season, will continue to fall.

Looking at Wang's 2025 season so far, it can only be described as mediocre or even bad, with only five wins in the first half of her hard court season (2 wins for Indian Wells + 3 wins for Singapore).

After coming to the clay season, Wang Xinyu only won one women's singles victory at the WTA 500 Strasbourg station. In addition, she has made a total of nine tournaments in Brisbane, Adelaide, Australian Open, Qatar, Dubai, Miami, Madrid, Rome and French Open, all of which are first-round tours.

After losing the first round of the Women's Singles in the Netherlands, Wang Xinyu partnered Zheng Saisai in the Women's Doubles, where they lost 6-7 6-4 2-10 to the Kichenok pair.

According to the schedule, there will be the WTA 500 Berlin tournament to start next week, Wang Xinyu and Zheng Saisai won the women's doubles crown in Berlin last year, and there is no shortage of victories such as Scholes/Stefani on the way to the championship, and the pressure on the two to keep the score is still quite large.

Of course, Yuan Yue is still in the women's singles draw as a lucky loser, she defeated the veteran Sevastova as a substitute in the first round, and the opponent in the second round is Birel, who has just defeated Wang Xinyu, and it is expected that Yuan Yue can help Wang Xinyu successfully take revenge, and the winner of the two will compete with the winner between [3] Mertens and Sakkari for a place in the women's singles semifinals.

The Queen's Cup, another women's tournament this week, is also underway, with top seed Zheng Qinwen set to make her debut on grass against American Kessler.(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
