It's a grand slam! Zheng Qinwen and other famous generals will appear in Berlin


The highlight of this week's tour is the Queen's Cup! The women's side has reached the semi-finals, with China's Jinhua Zheng Qinwen winning two straight matches as the top seed of the tournament and reaching the women's singles semi-finals on grass for the first time in her career.



The Women's Doubles semi-finals also featured China's Jinhua, with veteran Zhang Shuai teaming up with Australia's Perez as the fourth seed in Women's Doubles, knocking out Nikols/Miharikova and Babos/Stefani.



However, in the semi-finals of the women's doubles, the two faced the No. 2 seeds Danilina/Schneider, and finally played to a 1-1 draw in the first two sets.


As we all know, apart from the Grand Slam and 500 and 250 tournaments, the grass court season does not sit on the 1000 level like clay or hard courts. As a result, the 500 level is currently the highest level of competition outside of the Grand Slam.



Looking ahead to the Wimbledon main draw at the end of this month, the WTA 500 Berlin tournament that will start next week has also become a must-win for many famous players, according to the registration of the event, almost all the top 20 active women's tennis players are here, Sabalenka, Gauff, Pegula, Paulini, Andreeva, Keys, Zheng Qinwen and Navarro are expected to play as the top eight seeds.



Navarro is followed by Badosa, Schneijder, Rybakina, Svitolina, Mukhova, Anisimova, Kasatkina, Vekic and Bencic, and the wild cards of this tournament are also well-known - Raducanu, Naomi Osaka and Leith.


Of course, we can get a glimpse of the luxury of the lineup for the first tournament by looking at the registration of the qualifying tournament, with Karinskaya, Kenin, Kruger, Potapova, Wang Xinyu, Abdul-Jabbar, and Dolehide being the first seeds in the women's singles qualifying tournament.



Among them, Pegula will start defending her title as last year's champion. Last year, the American, as the No. 4 seed in the tournament, defeated Vekic, Siniakova, Gauff and other famous players all the way to the final, and finally defeated Russian Kalinskaya in the final.


Zheng Qinwen, the No. 6 seed at the tournament last year, defeated wildcard Naomi Osaka in three sets in the first round and was eliminated 6-4 in the second round against Siniakova (qualifier).



It is not difficult for attentive fans to find that Swiatek, who lost the defending French Open this year, did not sign up for the Berlin event, and there was a lot of news about the Poles skipping the grass court season, in which Swiatek said that he would not skip the grass court season, and he would like to master the skills of playing on the grass, so unless he was injured, he would definitely participate in Wimbledon.(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
