With seven consecutive wins, Geng Xinle won the world ranking on his first Hope Tournament

As we all know, tennis tournaments are divided into junior tournaments and adult tournaments due to the difference in age. Objectively speaking, there is a big difference between the two events. Therefore, it often takes a long time for young players to adapt to the adult arena and break out of their own world. Last week, however, there was a teenager who had just stepped onto the adult arena and sang all the way to make a career breakthrough. Not only that, but she also made a new breakthrough for Chinese women's tennis. So, who is this junior player? What kind of breakthrough did she create? Today, let this article take you to take a look.

The teenager is Geng Xinle, who just changed her nationality from Canada to China last season. After the transfer, Geng Xinle accepted Carlos's guidance. It is worth mentioning that Carlos used to be Li Na's coach. Under the guidance of this famous teacher, Geng Xinle has made great progress.

Last month, Geng won his first career junior event at the Salsomaggiore tournament ITFJ200 in Italy, winning five straight races. In those five matches, she defeated the tournament's fourth-seed, Nancy Lee of the United States, and the tournament's top seed, Germany's Mariella Thamm. After winning this title, Geng's junior world ranking has risen by nearly 200 places.

With the purpose of going out and having a look, Geng Xinle came to the Madrid Hope Qualifying Tournament last week. In the first round of qualifying, she faced the third seed in qualifying, V Gudelj of the Netherlands, who won in straight sets to advance. In the second round of qualifying, in the clash with Venezuela's D Rivera, although Geng Xinle lost a city first, she did not panic. In the subsequent game, Geng Xinle won two sets in a row, reversed and defeated his opponent, and was only one step away from entering the main match.

In the deciding round of the qualifying round, Geng Xinle only allowed Spain's N Sarganella Verdu to win five games. After the victory over her opponents, she took to the stage of the Madrid Hope Tournament. In the first round, Geng's opponent was the No. 6 seed, Italy's L Mair. After another two-set straight set, Geng Xinle defeated his opponent to advance and got his first point.

In the second round, facing the Spanish player C Ramos Sierra, who played with a wild card, Geng Xinle showed no mercy and only allowed his opponent to win four games in two sets. After the sweep, she won five straight matches and reached the quarterfinals of the Hope Tournament for the first time in her career. It is worth mentioning that Geng Xinle became the first post-10 Chinese girl to reach the quarterfinals of the Hope Tournament.

In the quarterfinals, facing the challenge of the fourth seed of the tournament, Switzerland's K Tsygourova, Geng Xinle defeated his opponent in straight sets and entered the semifinals of the hope tournament for the first time in his career; In the semi-finals, she defeated the tournament's No. 7 seed and Germany's Seibold to win a wave of seven consecutive victories and reach the final of the Hope Tournament for the first time in her career.

Although she lost to her opponent in the final against the third seed and Switzerland's Granville, she has created a miracle to reach the final on her first adult stage. What's more, Geng Xinle also became the first post-10 Chinese Jinhua to reach the final of the Hope Tournament and win the world ranking. How will she perform in the next game? Let's wait and see.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
