Late night great news! After five consecutive losses, China's Jin Hua wins, Wang Xinyu stages a 2-1 comeback to advance past the American player.

On August 27th Beijing time, the first round of the US Open women's singles continued. A high-profile match just concluded where China's Wang Xinyu faced the home player Dolehide. After a tough three-set battle, Wang came from behind to defeat her opponent 2-1, narrowly advancing to the second round. This is truly fantastic news; after five straight losses in women's singles, we finally have our first victory. It’s a long-awaited breakthrough that brings great joy!

At this US Open, Zheng Qinwen is absent due to injury, leaving only six Chinese players in the main draw. However, the first round brought heavy losses as the first five players all lost their matches without surprise, suffering five straight defeats — a truly disheartening outcome. Wang Xinyu remains the sole survivor and our last hope. She faced the local player Dolehide in the first round, a tough match with the opponent enjoying home advantage. The two had met once before, with Wang emerging victorious. Today marks their second encounter, and we are optimistic Wang will win!

Once the match began, after a brief back-and-forth, Dolehide gradually exploded with multi-point attacks, creating a scoring surge that stunned Wang Xinyu with a 6-2 first set. The second set saw an intense tug-of-war, with neither side giving ground and battling to a 4-4 tie. At the crucial ninth game, Wang held strong under pressure to break serve, then held her serve to take the set 6-4, leveling the match at 1-1. In the deciding set, Dolehide suddenly collapsed while Wang grew stronger, unleashing full force to win 6-2 and complete a 2-1 comeback victory, successfully overturning the deficit!

After defeating her opponent, Wang Xinyu gained a lot from this win, earning 70 ranking points and $154,000 in prize money — truly a double celebration. Her second-round opponent is already set: Aleksandrova, a very strong player. Wang will face a huge challenge ahead, and we hope this last remaining player can keep advancing. Keep it up!
