As soon as they won the championship, they suffered defeats, and in 2025, the championship syndrome swept these three Chinese girls

As we all know, winning a championship at any level of tennis is not an easy task. Even if you're seeded, you'll have to win four straight games to win the title with a first-round bye on the tour. On the other hand, in the Challenge and Hope Tournaments, it is often necessary to get five wins in a row to win the championship. Because of this, after winning the championship, the confidence of the players will be improved to a certain extent, and they will often have a good record in future competitions.

However, in the 2025 season, there are three Chinese girls who won the challenge championship, and after winning the championship, they all suffered losses. Among them, two of them suffered consecutive defeats. So, what's going on here? Who are these Chinese girls? Today, let the humble article take you to see.

At the beginning of January, at the second stop of the Nonthaburi Challenger, Yao Xinxin defeated compatriot You Xiaodi in straight sets in the first round, causing an upset. Since then, she has successively defeated Japan's Yayumi Ishi, Hong Kong's Wang Kangyi, Russia's Tkacheva, and compatriot Zheng Weishuang to win the first Chinese women's tennis championship in the 2025 season. At the same time, this is also the highest-level championship won by Yao Xinxin in his career. At that time, many people thought that Yao Xinxin would usher in a gorgeous transformation.

However, she has since suffered three consecutive defeats, losing to South Korea's Jang Xiu-jeong, American Liu Jingwen, and Belgium's Van der Winkel. Not only that, in the 2025 season, Yao Xinxin has never reached the quarterfinals again. She lost in the first round of the Trnava Challenger to Germany's Shunk in the first round of the Trnava Challenger this week, winning just four games in two sets.

In mid-April, Yuan Yue, who had already suffered five consecutive defeats, finally stopped her decline by defeating Dutchman's L Tran in the first round of the Oelash Challenger. Since then, Yuan Yue has defeated Czech Republic's Malekova, Austria's Klaus, Latvia's Semenistaya, and Belgium's Minnion to win her first championship in the 2025 season. It is worth mentioning that this is also Yuan Yue's first championship on clay. However, she was not able to carry on the victory. At the beginning of May, in the first round of the qualifying round of the WTA1000 Rome Station, Yuan Yue lost to Croatian player Rudjic. In the first round of the Paris Challenger this week, Yuan Yue was reversed by France's Jacquemo in two sets in a row under the favorable circumstances of the first city, and had to accept the fate of two consecutive defeats and was out.

At the end of April, veteran Zhang Shuai defeated compatriot Gao Xinyu in the first round of the Gifu Challenger to stop a two-game losing streak. She went on to win her first title of the 2025 season with successive victories over Thailand's Lanlana, Japan's Hachika Sonobe, Great Britain's E-Jones and Thailand's Manangchaya. It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time Zhang Shuai has won the championship in three years. However, Zhang Shuai was unable to continue his winning momentum after losing to compatriot Wang Xinyu in the first round of the Parma Challenger this week.

After winning the championship, it is indeed a pity that we were unable to continue to win. But Zheng Yushuang's opponents after winning the championship are not soft persimmons, Rujic has won the challenge championship and has a certain strength, while Wang Xinyu has defeated Zhang Shuai twice, so their defeat may not be accidental. Hopefully, in the next competition, these three players can have a good performance. That's it for today, and it will continue tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
