Wang Xinyu, who had previously had poor results in the warm-up matches, having been knocked out in the first round at Brisbane and Adelaide, said after the game that the match against Badosa was the best game of the Australian season this year. Wang Xinyu hit 32 winning goals in this game, but there were as many as 40 unforced errors. After the game, she laughed at herself: "Actually, it's okay to remove the 6 tie-breaks in the seventh game." ”

Wang Xinyu said: "In fact, it is okay to remove the 6 (unforced mistakes) of the tie-break. First of all, I want to defend myself, I think that many times the unforced mistakes are not really 'uncoerced'. I really didn't expect to be the dominant side in this game, which is different from what we prepared before the game. I feel like today was more of a game where I was dominating the game and that's what I wanted to play. Of course, there are a lot of details that can be improved, but I think we dug up the roots. ”

'It's been a tough game, but I'm happy with the level I've shown and I've been able to see some improvement in the areas I've been working on. I may have been a little unlucky today and didn't get some points...... I think it was the best game I played all season in Australia, and of course the opponents played well. It's a shame to lose the game, but there are also factors that go into it. I think it's important to see that I've made progress and where I'm going to work next.

Wang Xinyu said that she had achieved good results during the winter training period, but after actually participating in the competition, she found new shortcomings: "Because the string of my racket is worn more correctly this year, and the winter training is also good, I still have something to look forward to; But as soon as the season started, it became clear that something else had arisen. Maybe it will always be like this in the future, that is, there are always new problems, but this is also the fun of tennis, that is, there are always new problems to solve, and training will not be boring. ”

"Actually, I'm very confident that I'm coming back to Australia this year because I feel like I've solved a lot of last year's problems. But the reality is that you'll soon find that there's another situation that needs to be remedied. This is professional tennis. I think even if you are the best in the world, you have problems to solve. ”
