In the first round of the French Open, the two major armies of China and the United States suffered repeated setbacks: the United States set three embarrassing firsts, and Zheng Qinwen once again became the only hope for the whole village.
It is said that Roland Garros's clay is the most likely to be an upset and a nightmare for seeded players, and this sentence seems to be very obvious in the American Legion this year. Of the nine seeded players in the men's and women's singles currently out of the tournament, the United States accounts for five.
After reaching the semifinals of the Rome 1000 tournament, Stearns, an American girl who switched to the French Open, was once regarded as one of the players with Zheng Qinwen the most important at this year's French Open.
At that time, after seeing that the two were in the same half, many people were very eager to see how the American girl would be if she played Zheng Qinwen in the third round. I never thought that Stearns, who was the No. 28 seed in the tournament, would have a serious rollover accident in the competition with the German girl Leis, and was finally swept out by Leiss in two sets by swallowing eggs, which caused an uproar in public opinion.
When everyone made predictions about this key battle before the game, Stearns was generally favored. Although she knew that she would not be too smooth to get off to a good start in the first round of the French Open, she did not expect that the new Kroma semi-finals would lose by such a rare score as 0-6 and 3-6, which made everyone call it too surprised.
After Stearns was knocked down in the first round by Leiss, she also became the first seeded player to be eliminated in the women's singles field since the start of the French Open, which can be described as the first big upset for Roland Garros.
After the American girl stopped in the first round of the French Open, everyone was also speculating about which seeded player would unfortunately win the jackpot next, following in the footsteps of Stearns, but scratched her head, and she didn't expect that this person would be Navarro, a rich American girl.
The ninth seed Navarro faced the world No. 71 Maneiro in the first round, and before the game, the outside world was optimistic that the rich American girl would advance without suspense, and some people even regarded Manero as a poor person in advance, bluntly saying that Navarro would probably teach her a lesson, lamenting that her luck was too bad.
But after this match, the last person to be taught a lesson was Navarro.
From the start of the first set, I don't know if Navarro was very disgusted with the clay of Roland Garros, or if Manero was possessed by the god of war, the performance of the two was simply worlds apart.
At that time, the live broadcast room described Navarro's state as like Sister Lin who had just fallen from the sky, and it seemed that she fell down as soon as the wind blew, and she was unable to fight Manero at all.
I thought that the second set would be the beginning of Navarro's counterattack and strong reversal, but I didn't expect that she still looked like she was loveless, and was directly beaten 6-1 by Manero, and left the court with duck eggs and fritters at one time, which shocked the outside world.
After the game, someone ridiculed Navarro, saying that the rich American girl is still quite warm-hearted, knowing that compatriot Stearns must have been very hurt after becoming the first big-seeded player to be eliminated, in order to comfort her, he simply followed the exit and transferred the embarrassment directly to himself.
Navarro's exit also made her the first top-10 seeded player to be eliminated in the French Open women's singles.
Until now, many people have mentioned the loss of the rich American girl, and they don't know why she lost like this, which has become an unsolved mystery since the start of the French Open, which is too inexplicable.
The two American girls have upgraded the biggest upset in the women's singles, and the Americans in the men's singles are also echoing each other.
The fourth-seeded Fritz vs. Altmaier was expected to win before the match, but no one expected the American to be in big trouble in the first set and lose the first set 5-7.
Thankfully, Fritz quickly halted his slump in the second set and tied the score 6-3.
Just when everyone thought that Fritz would have a strong comeback and the last laugh, they didn't expect it to be the beginning of his collapse. Altmaier played more and more freely in the third and fourth sets, and finally sealed the victory in one fell swoop by sending fritters, causing the biggest upset in the men's singles field, making Fritz the first men's singles big seed to be eliminated at this French Open.
If you add the No. 28 seed Brandon Nakajima and No. 32 seed Mickelson, who also stopped in the first round of the French Open, it can be said that the U.S. Army lost quite badly in the first round of the French Open, and it is not an exaggeration to be called a big rout by fans and netizens.
The U.S. team did not perform well in the first round of the French Open overall, and so did the Chinese team.
There are a total of four Chinese players in the singles main draw of this year's French Open, namely Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xinyu, Yuan Yue and Buyun Chaoket.
When all four of them made their French Open debuts, only Zheng Qinwen advanced to the second round alone, and Wang Xinyu, Yuan Yue and Buyun Chaoket all suffered a round of defeats.
After seeing Zheng Qinwen once again become the only hope for the whole village, everyone also hopes that the first sister of China can show the fighting spirit of "fighting for the country for three more hours" like last year's Paris Olympics, hold the banner of Chinese tennis high, and continue to bring surprises!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
