Good? Zheng Qinwen's opponent is released! Will fight the Wimbledon champion and avoid the 2 favorites + Swiatek out

In the final round of the group stage of the orange group of the WTA year-end finals in Riyadh, which ended in the early morning of November 8, Beijing time, Wimbledon champion Krejcikova defeated American star Gauff 2-0. In doing so, she will be China's Zheng Qinwen's opponent in the semi-finals.

Before the final round of this group, Gauff had already won 2 consecutive victories to advance to qualify, and Swiatek and Krejcikova, who lost 1-1, competed for 1 qualification in the final round. If Gauff beats Krejcikova, Swiatek will advance as the second place in the group. If Krejcikova beats Gauff, Swiatek will be eliminated.

In the end, Krejcikova defeated Gauff in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4, and not only did she squeeze Swiatek out of the group, but she also beat Gauff to top the group, thus facing China's Zheng Qinwen in the semi-finals.

Zheng Qinwen and Krejcikova have played each other once before, and in the final of last year's Zhengzhou 500, Zheng Qinwen won 2-1 after three sets. The other semi-final will be between Sabalenka and Gauff, with a 4-4 record. It can be said that this situation is extremely favorable for Zheng Qinwen, not only missing a strong opponent for Swiatek, but also avoiding Sabalenka and Gauff, the two favorites for the championship, and "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight" at the same time, facing opponents with a relatively good chance of winning.
