On January 31st Beijing time, the Australian Open progresses as planned. Today’s highlight is the women's doubles final, attracting widespread attention. Chinese player Zhang Shuai and Mertens will compete against Danilina and Krunic in an intense duel for the ultimate title. The match carries a prize pool of 810,000 AUD, making it very lucrative. The game has commenced, with the opening set currently in play!

The Chinese team’s overall performance in this tournament has been average. Only Wang Xinyu advanced to the last 16 in singles. However, veteran Zhang Shuai brought a surprise by partnering with Mertens in the doubles event. Seeded fourth, the pair played consistently well, overcoming tough opponents on their way to the final. This marks Zhang Shuai’s first Australian Open final appearance in seven years and her fifth Grand Slam final overall. She has previously won two Grand Slam doubles titles and now aims for her third. Their opponents in the final are the seventh seeds Danilina and Krunic, who have also impressed in this tournament, notably eliminating the world’s top-ranked pair en route to the final, proving their strong capability!

Everyone knows that teamwork is key here. Zhang Shuai’s duo are doubles specialists with excellent coordination. As long as they perform at their best, winning the title should not be difficult. They need to serve and return well, place shots with precision, and break through the opponents’ defenses!

Whichever team wins this match will take home the 810,000 AUD prize, equivalent to 3.92 million RMB. Split evenly, that’s nearly 2 million RMB each. We hope Zhang Shuai’s pair can seize the momentum and claim the championship. Looking forward to great news—go for it!
