In yesterday's first round of the Australian Open, after China's Sava Wang Xinyu lost to Badosa and was eliminated, she did not expect to cause a lot of controversy in the outside world.
In this year's Australian Open, Wang Xinyu had poor luck and drew the Spanish beauty Badosa in the first round, who had reached the second highest singles world ranking and won the 1000 women's singles championship. However, Bardosa's form has declined badly in recent years, and although the North American hard court season began to show signs of recovery last year, at one point he moved up to 12th in the world rankings, but in the new season, the back-to-back exits of Brisbane and Adelaide still make the Spaniard's form a mystery. Therefore, many fans also believe that Wang Xinyu still has a certain chance to cause an upset.
After the start of the match, no one expected that Wang Xinyu would become the dominant side of the match, and as she opened the bow left and right from the baseline, she took a 3-1 lead in the first set. However, then the situation on the court changed abruptly, Badosa improved the movement of her baseline and the quality of her serve, but the change of the opponent made Wang Xinyu fluctuate, and in the subsequent game, she lost 5 games in a row and lost the first set directly. At the critical moment, Badosa broke to usher in a personal service game, but the tenacious Chinese Jinhua then broke the opponent's serve to win the game and forced the match into a tie-break, however, too many unforced errors made Wang Xinyu unable to expand the advantage at the critical moment, and finally lost to Badosa 3-6 6-7(5), suffering a first-round tour of the Australian Open for the second consecutive year.
After stopping in the first round of the Australian Open women's singles, Wang Xinyu also became the first Chinese player to be eliminated among the 11 Chinese singles players at this Australian Open. From Brisbane to Adelaide to the Australian Open, the season began with three main draw losses, with the only two wins coming in qualifying for Adelaide.
In this regard, the outside world once again sparked a heated discussion about Wang Xinyu, and many netizens believed, "As Wang Xinyu, who has always been good at doubles, she should focus on doubles and give up singles at present, which is the best choice for her!" ”
Some netizens responded, "Her strength has long been there!" The loss was not a surprise! Wang Xinyu has brute strength, but she is not smart enough to play, so there is really no need to continue to waste time in singles! Some netizens agreed, "Wang Xinyu's physical fitness is there, playing singles has three disasters and eight pains, often injured, and has a Grand Slam women's doubles championship and an Olympic mixed doubles silver medal, she should really see her advantages clearly, singles for her, there is really no need to persevere!" However, some netizens raised objections, "The opponent is not weak, what does it matter if you lose to such an opponent?" What's more, for Wang Xinyu's family, what Wang's father has always advocated is: playing ball itself is far more fun than utilitarian, why is it so sharp? ”
In fact, there has been a long-standing discussion about whether Wang Xinyu should be "doubles-based". After winning the mixed doubles silver medal with Zhang Zhizhen at the Paris Olympics last year, Wang Xinyu's doubles strength has been unanimously recognized by the outside world, and many fans also hope that she can not waste her talent and shine in the field she is better at. But in this regard, Wang Xinyu said that for herself, she must pay more attention to singles, because in singles, she still has many expectations and dreams. After getting a series of results, I did see my advantage in doubles, and I will participate in more doubles competitions in the future, and overall, I still have certain expectations for singles.
In the post-match interview, Wang Xinyu also admitted that she had actually prepared a lot for the new season of singles, such as deliberately training physical fitness, movement and strength in winter training, and deliberately adding cutting balls to improve her skills. In yesterday's defeat to Bardosa, Wang Xinyu's 32-winning goal showed that her strength and mobility have indeed improved in the new season, but the root cause of the defeat was also that she made 40 unforced errors, which was quite surprising. However, Wang Xinyu said with a smile that she was still very satisfied with this match, it was the best game she played since the new season, and she felt that everything would get better and better.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
