On August 28, Beijing time, Zhang Bendou, a well-known tennis reporter, confirmed that after losing to No. 16 seed Samsonova in the first round of this US Open, 32-year-old Chinese women's tennis star Wang Qiang has finished the last Grand Slam of her career. She will officially announce her retirement after next year's National Games.
Wang Qiang also said in an interview that she has no regrets about bidding farewell to the Grand Slam arena, but only relief. She already has a significant other half, and she said bluntly: "I know how difficult it will be if I want to fight back, it's really too difficult." Not to mention abandoning my family and business, I don't want to go out. ”
Wang Qiang also revealed that her ability to reverse jet lag is particularly weak, and after returning home from Wimbledon this year, she can only sleep 2-3 hours a day for the first 10 days. It was precisely because of this torture that Wang Qiang realized that her current age and state could not go back to her former peak, which also made her retreat.
I believe that fans who pay attention to Chinese tennis will be no stranger to Wang Qiang, who was born in 1992 and was praised as "Chinese Sava" because of her beautiful appearance. And Wang Qiang is not only beautiful, but also quite powerful. She used to be the "first sister" of the Chinese women's tennis team, and the world ranking reached 12th at the peak.
Wang Qiang has also had many good memories in the four Grand Slam arenas. She has reached the quarterfinals of the US Open and the round of 16 of the Australian Open, while the French Open and Wimbledon have reached the third round. At the 2020 Australian Open, Wang Qiang defeated the unbeatable tennis "queen" Selina Williams, letting the world see the strength of Chinese tennis. Wang Qiang also won the women's singles gold medal for Chinese tennis at the Incheon Asian Games.
Unfortunately, after her comeback at the beginning of this year, Wang Qiang has been in a bad state. The two Grand Slams after her comeback were both one-round exits, and because Wang Qiang's number of Grand Slam entries had been exhausted, the former Chinese women's tennis sister had no choice but to say goodbye to the Grand Slam arena.
