With a sigh, as the top seed, she has been out early four times

At present, among the top 100 female players in the world, there are only three Chinese players, Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xinyu and Yuan Yue, who are known as the first-line golden flowers because they basically compete in Grand Slams and tours. In addition to the 100 places, Wei Sijia, Wang Xinyu, Zhang Shuai, Shi Han, Gao Xinyu and others are basically competing in the Challenge Tournament and Grand Slam Qualifiers, so these girls are called second-tier Jinhua.

However, despite being second-tier golden flowers, they also have their own style. At the beginning of January, Gao Xinyu defeated Brazilian player Maya and German player Sigmund in the absence of Zheng Qinwen one after another, making her own contribution to the Chinese team's breakthrough from the group stage in the United Cup. Unfortunately, she has gone out early four times this year as the top seed. So, what's going on here? Let this article take you to a look.

In mid-February, at the Prague Challenger, Gao Xinyu, who played as the top seed, unexpectedly fell into a bitter battle in the first round against the Czech Republic's Marekova, who was ranked far outside the 400th place. Although she finally defeated her opponent in three sets, Gao Xinyu won quite hard. In the second round, she dropped a set against Australia's Ayava. Although in the ensuing match, Gao Xinyu dragged the match into the deciding set, unfortunately, she still lost to her opponent in the deciding set.

At the end of February, Gao Xinyu also played the Trnava Challenger as the top seed. In the first round, her opponent was Croatia's Rudzic. In this match, despite Gao Xinyu's best efforts, she only won six games in two sets. Objectively speaking, this is a complete failure. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that Gao Xinyu has been eliminated in the first round of the challenge this year.

In early March, Gao Xinyu once again came to the TRNAVA Challenge in Slovakia as the top seed. Her first-round opponent is Czech Republic's Linda Frukheveltova. This player has reached the second week of a Grand Slam and won a tour title, so he has a certain amount of quality. In this game, Gao Xinyu and her opponent were in the dark, and they both hit a tie-break in both sets, but unfortunately it was not she who had the last laugh, and Gao Xinyu had no choice but to hug it out.

LAST WEEK, GAO XINYU WAS STILL THE TOP SEED IN THE KURSUMLIJSKA BANJA CHALLENGE IN SPAIN, WHERE SHE DEFEATED BELGIAN'S K KUJOVIC IN THE FIRST ROUND. In the second round, Gao Xinyu was swept out by Maltese player F Curmi. It's important to note that this is the fourth time this year that she's gone out early as the top seed.

Despite four early exits, Gao still won her first qualifying tournament at the Australian Open this year. Not only that, but she also had a highlight reel in the United Cup. I believe that in the next game, Gao Xinyu will have a good record, so let's bless her here. That's it for today, and it will continue tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
