Post-match summary

1. It is very unfortunate that Zheng Qinwen withdrew from the Wuhan Open due to injury.
2. Only Zhu Lin, Wang Xinyu, and Yuan Yue progressed to the Wuhan Open main draw; sadly, the highest-ranked Wang Xinyu, who reached the semifinals last year, was eliminated in the first round this year, which is quite disappointing.
3. Kudos to Yuan Yue for winning her match and advancing to the next round, allowing us to still see Chinese players competing on home soil in the second round.
4. Sabalenka was last year’s champion; can she defend her title this year? Let’s wait and see.
