Heroic! The most volatile 500 of the year is here

The highlight of the week is the French Open. As the current Chinese singles seed, Zheng Qinwen will face qualifier Mboko at 17:00 Beijing time this afternoon, who made his debut as a qualifier in the Grand Slam main draw and reached the round of 32, becoming a big dark horse in this French Open.

"The opponent in the next round is very young, so we don't have a lot of information about her, but being able to come to the third round shows that she is definitely in good form at the moment. Of course, no matter who the opponent is, I will stay focused in the game and fight until the last moment. ”

Facing the upcoming third round, Zheng Qinwen said that it doesn't matter whether the opponent is world No. 1 or No. 100, her own goal is to step on the court and enjoy the game and play her best tennis.

Compared with singles, this year's French Open women's doubles still gathered a number of pairs of golden flowers, and after the first round of all women's doubles matches, a total of seven pairs of four pairs passed.

Among them, Guo Hanyu/Shibahara Eina lost 7-6(5), 5-7, 3-6 to Burage/Qatar; Zhang Shuai/Gadeki lost 2-6 6-7(2) to top seeds Siniakova/Townsend Townsend; Xu Yifan/Karenina lost 0-6 1-6 to Babos/Stefani.

Among the remaining winning pairs, 10th seeds Jiang Xinyu/Wu Fangxian beat Parks/Osorio 6-4 6-1; Yuan Yue/Sun Lulu beat Blinkova/Sherif 6-2 5-7 6-3; Wang Xinyu/Zheng Saisai eliminated [11] Kromachava/Stora 6-4 4-6 6-4; Tang Qianhui/Makoto Ninomiya eliminated Lesimia/Harmony Tan 6-3 6-4.

Of course, in addition to the performance of the Chinese team at the French Open, the focus of attention today is also on the lineup of a grass court tour - the women's singles of the 2025 WTA 500 Berlin station.

In the list of qualifiers that have been released for this event, almost all of them are singles stars, they are:

Samsonova, Alexandrova, Kosdik, Fletcher, Karinskaya, Kenin, Kruger, Karebar, Potapova, Wang Xinyu, Kudermetova, Bouzkova, Naomi Osaka, Osorio, Collins, Ang Lee, Leith, Siniakova, Tomova, Dolehide, etc.

Without a doubt, this is the most luxurious qualifying squad so far this season, and it can almost "crush" most WTA 250-level women's singles main draw lineups.

However, compared to clay and hard courts, the grass season is relatively short every year, and there are relatively few games for professional players to warm up, and the 500 level is also the highest level of grass season outside of the Grand Slam.

Last year's Women's Singles title in Berlin was won by Pegula, who defeated Russia's Karinskaya in the final; Zheng Qinwen defeated Naomi Osaka in the first round in three sets, and then lost to Siniakova in two sets in the second round, but Wang Xinyu partnered Zheng Saisai to win the women's doubles match.(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
