After Andreescu and Raducanu were knocked out of last week's French Open qualifiers and Strasbourg respectively, the duo has sparked a lot of buzz because of their status as former US Open champions.
Andreescu's exit is the most shocking to the outside world!
This time in the French Open qualifiers, Andreescu's performance in the first round against Chinese Xiaohua Yao Xinxin was simply amazing. From the first set of the game, not only did the final victory completely lose suspense, but also bloodied Miss Xiaoyao by sending double eggs.
The Canadian girl's performance of taking the lead and causing a bloody case at Roland Garros once made people think that she had no suspense in advancing to the main draw of the French Open, but she unexpectedly overturned when she played against the Japanese girl Hibino Nao in the second round.
In this match against the Japanese girl, Andreescu continued his excellent form against Yao Xinxin in the first round in the first set, showing the strength of a Grand Slam champion, and played Hibino Nao without any resistance, and quickly won the first set 6-2.
I thought that Andreescu's two-set sweep of Nao Hibino was a foregone conclusion, but in the end, she was defeated by a Japanese girl in two consecutive games, which caused an uproar in public opinion!
The main reason for this reaction is that Andreescu is indeed better than the Japanese girl, and she is capable of winning the match in two sets. I really didn't expect that she was overturned by the Japanese girl after reaching the commanding height of the whole match 5-3 in the second set; After the tie-break, the Canadian girl also took a 5-2 lead in the tie-break, but finally lost the set.
What is even more surprising is that many people think that even if the Canadian girl who is used to seeing big scenes loses the second set with a good hand, she will improve her form in the deciding set and win the match in one fell swoop. However, in the deciding set, Andreescu's performance was completely inconsistent with her status as a former US Open champion, giving people a feeling of frustrated confidence and a sharp decline in fighting spirit, but Hibino Nanao became more and more courageous.
After the Japanese girl broke the Canadian girl's serve, the picture of Anders Leku, who everyone expected, did not appear, and the game was directly taken over by Nao Hibino, and there was nothing to do with the Canadian girl in the future. The Japanese girl sealed the victory 6-4 directly, knocking the former US Open champion who had the highest call to advance to the main draw outside the deciding round.
After the game, many people bluntly said that they were very disappointed with Andreescu's performance! Some people said that when they saw her fighting Zheng Qinwen in Rome, they thought that she would become a teacher at Roland Garros and teach other opponents a lesson, how to compete with the Japanese, who are far inferior to China's first sister, but lost their edge, and did not have the domineering spirit of tyrannical Yao Xinxin in the first round, which is really surprising.
After Andreescu, who played at Roland Garros, was out, another high-profile former US Open champion, Raducanu, was also eliminated in Strasbourg.
Raducanu was beaten in two sets by Gauff in the quarter-finals of the Rome 1000 tournament, and while the loss in this Grand Slam title clash was a bit ugly, her move to Strasbourg was a cause for concern.
The focus is on Raducanu to see if she can make her French Open debut with a good result in Strasbourg after avoiding a master like Gauff.
Raducanu faced Collins in the second round, and she performed like Andreescu in the French Open qualifier in the opening set, which at one point made people think she had little problem qualifying.
However, after the British girl took the lead 6-4, she suddenly couldn't play in the second set, and was directly hit by Collins 6-1, pushing the game into a three-set battle.
Raducanu's performance in the first half of the deciding set did feel like someone who had seen the big scene, but when she was still able to save her serve in the face of a 3-5 deficit, the Englishman failed to prove herself.
In the face of the pressure exerted by Collins, she collapsed directly, and the American girl ended the game in one fell swoop by scoring four points in a row, knocking her down in the second round of Strasbourg.
Andreescu's French Open singles journey has ended early, but Raducanu has not, for the British girl in the face of Collins such a speechless performance, some people said that Raducanu is likely to go to give away people, it is difficult to play a good result! Because of this, today the British girl and Wang Xinyu are competing for a ticket to the second round of the French Open, and many people are supporting Yu Beauty to upset Raducanu!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
