Defeated again and again, none of the Chinese players in the Lu'an Hope Tournament entered the quarterfinals

In recent years, Chinese men's tennis players have made a series of breakthroughs in tennis tournaments at all levels, and more and more tennis tournaments have begun to be held in China. Frankly, these tournaments have played a certain role in promoting the progress of Chinese men's tennis players. Last season, Zhou Yi won the first Hope Championship in his career in the Chinese season of the Hope Race. Some time ago, Zhang Tianhui also won a wave of four consecutive victories in the Chinese season of the Hope Tournament and entered the final of the Hope Tournament for the first time in his career. However, the Chinese season of the Hope Tournament also tends to be a problem for Chinese men's tennis players. For example, none of the Chinese players reached the quarterfinals of the Lu'an Hope Tournament this week. And this is the first time that this situation has happened in the 2025 Hope China season. So, what's going on here? Let the humble article take you to see it today.

Two weeks ago, Mongolian player Terigle won his second Hope Race of the 2025 season at the first stop of the Lu'an Hope Race. He reached the semi-finals of the second tournament last week, becoming the only Chinese men's tennis player to remain on the draw. Unfortunately, in the semi-finals, he lost to Poland's Perif and was unable to go further.

WeekAs Cui Jie, Sun Fajing, Bai Yan and other players have switched to the Gwangju Challenge Qualifying Tournament, none of them have been able to appear in the third leg of the Lu'an Hope Tournament. After three rounds of qualifying competition, three Chinese men's tennis players, Chen Xingdao, Sun Qian, and Du You, stood out and entered the main event. In the first round, the second seed Mo Yecong suffered a Waterloo, he was defeated by Belarusian qualifier Ivashka in straight sets; Dong Zhenxiong, Chen Yuren, and He Junji, who played with wild cards, also lost to their opponents and failed to go further; Jiang Fumin, Lu Pengyu, Du You, and Chen Xingdao were swept out of the game by their opponents despite their best efforts. In this way, after the first round of the tournament, there were only two Chinese men's tennis players in the Lu'an Hope Tournament, they were Jin Yuquan, who played with a wild card, and Sun Qian, who broke through from the qualifying round.

Facing the tournament's No. 3 seed and Poland's Periv, Sun Qian unexpectedly sent a duck egg in the first set and took the next set. Unfortunately, in the subsequent match, due to his strength and experience far inferior to his opponent, he was beaten out by his opponent in two sets in a row. Despite this, it is not easy to win a game in the hands of a strong opponent, and Sun Qian can be called glorious despite defeat. Jin Yuquan, who played with a wild card, fought with the fourth seed of the tournament, Morocco's Bonchetri, in the first set to tie-break, but unfortunately he was unable to win and lost the first set. In the second set, Jin Yuquan, whose physical strength had declined, only won two games. In this way, with the stop of Jin Yuquan, there are no Chinese men's tennis players in Lu'an Hope Tournament.
