On August 17, Beijing time, the women's singles match at the Cincinnati station in WTA1000 continued, and the Chinese Jinhua played in the third round of the match with the Russia star Pavlyuchenkova, but the game became one-sided, Zheng Qinwen lost to the opponent with a score of 0-2, and missed the top 8, and the men's singles star Alcaraz was also an upset, losing 1-2 to the 37-year-old France veteran Monfils in three sets and missing the round of 16, which was a big surprise!
Zheng Qinwen had a bye in the first round of this tournament, directly played in the second round, faced Freich, once looked like he was about to win, the game was interrupted by heavy rain and could only be postponed to tomorrow's game, as a result, Zheng Qinwen defeated his opponent 6-1 and 7-5 and advanced to the round of 16, but he had to play again with less than five hours of rest in the middle, and competed for the quarterfinals with the fierce girl Pavlyuchenkova, which was a great test of physical strength for Zheng Qinwen!
After the start of the match, the two fell into a fierce battle, the score rose alternately, and after the fight came to a 5-5 draw, Pavlyuchenkova broke the tie and won two points in a row to win the first set 7-5. In the second set, Zheng Qinwen's state plummeted, and it was difficult to resist Pavlyuchenkova's sharp offensive, and soon fell behind with a big score, losing 1-6, and losing to the opponent with a big score of 0-2 and missing the quarterfinals!
Judging from this game, the schedule is too intensive, Zheng Qinwen was very tired in the Olympics, but today there are less than five groups to play two games, and the body will definitely not be able to bear it, plus the opponent's strength is too strong, one shot is too fierce, so it is normal to lose, unfortunately the 12-game winning streak was ended, prepare for the US Open!
However, there was also news in the men's singles field, Spain star Alcaraz performed badly, high and low, won a game 6-4, and then was completed by the opponent to come on top, 37-year-old Monfils won two sets in a row to defeat Alcaraz 7-6 and 6-4, upset to advance to the round of 16, I have to say that the game is a bit unexpected, it seems that Alcaraz has not yet come out of the defeat to Djokovic in the Olympics, this game is angry and slammed the racket, and the mentality has collapsed!
