In this year's Australian Open, a total of 11 players from the Chinese team participated in the main event. However, after only two rounds, all 11 players were eliminated and no one made it to the round of 32, which is also the worst Grand Slam record since 2021.

Due to the exit of China's first sister Zheng Qinwen yesterday, there are only three Chinese female players left in the draw table: Zhang Shuai, Wang Yafan and Wang Xiyu. Among them, Zhang Shuai faced Putintseva, who had lost five in a row, Wang Yafan faced Kasatkina, known as the Great Wall of Russia, and Wang Xiyu faced Navarro, a rich girl, and the opponents of the three can be described as very strong.

Wang Yafan, ranked 64th in the world, reached the second round of the Australian Open for the second year in a row after eliminating Bondar in the first round. However, the injury to her left wrist is still worrying, but Wang Yafan said after the game that although there will still be a dull pain, fortunately, there are rehabilitation therapists and physiotherapists, and I believe that the game is still okay.

In the first set, Kasatkina took the lead in serving, Wang Yafan wasted a break point to let Kasatkina hold serve, and in the fourth game, Wang Yafan's serve fluctuated, and then her second service game was broken, and Kasatkina broke the tie and took a 4:1 lead. In the eighth game, Wang Yafan was broken again and lost the first set 2-6. In the second set, Wang Yafan was broken by Kasatkina in the second game, in the fourth game, Wang Yafan frequently sent mistakes in the service game and was broken again, in the fifth game, Wang Yafan missed three break points and unfortunately failed to break, Wang Yafan was broken again in the sixth game with no way out, and lost the second set 0-6 after losing 6 games in a row.

With the loss of this match, Wang Yafan's world ranking dropped to No. 70. However, many netizens said that this competition is a very valuable learning opportunity for Wang Yafan, and Wang Yafan can learn a lot from it and improve himself. Some netizens said that although Wang Yafan failed to advance to the third round, he was able to survive the first round with an injury, which has given fans enough surprises!

In the other match, Wang Xiyu faced Navarro, which was the second time the two met here after last year's Australian Open. However, it will not be easy for Wang Xiyu to win, because although she advanced in the first round of the Australian Open, she also made four double-double errors in a single game. So, despite ending her three-game losing streak at the Grand Slam and returning to the top 100, it will still be difficult for her to win this match.

In the first set, the two sides started a break battle, and the two broke each other's serve in the first four games. Wang Xiyu lost in the crucial eighth game, and Navarro then held serve to win the set, and Wang Xiyu lost the first set 3-6. In the second set, Wang Xiyu, who gradually warmed up, broke serve in the fourth game and took a 3-1 lead. In the seventh game, Navarro broke successfully and chased the game to 3-4. However, after that, Wang Xiyu broke the belt and dragged the game into the deciding set 6-3. The deciding set began, and the two sides opened the game to a 2-2 draw. In the fifth game, Wang Xiyu took the lead and took a 3-2 lead after completing the break. In the eighth game, Wang Xiyu's serve was lost, and the two sides fought to a 4-4 draw. Wang Xiyu was broken in the 10th game of the match, losing the deciding set 4-6.

In this regard, some netizens commented, "The key points and opportunity balls are played in the opponent's hands, and I sigh, but I personally think that Wang Xiyu has made progress, even if the progress is slow and small." Some netizens said, "It's good to be promoted, I believe she will become more and more mature in the future, at present, psychological problems are more prominent, many times if you can overcome psychological ups and downs and fluctuations, I believe there will be a better performance." ”

In the other match, wildcard Zhang Shuai lost 2-6 1-6 to 24th seed Putintseva, suffering a six-game losing streak against the latter. For Zhang Shuai's point-based, fast-paced style of play, Putintseva's multi-tempo and destructive style of play did make it difficult for her to bring out her own characteristics, and Zhang Shuai was passive throughout the game, with little power to parry. But fortunately, although the singles are out, there is also a doubles with Mladenovich, I hope she can get braver and braver!

The total annihilation of Chinese tennis at the 2025 Australian Open is really shocking, although the Chinese team's warm-up results before the Australian Open were very poor, but the collective downturn was still unexpected. In this regard, some netizens commented on today's three games, saying, "However, the most regrettable thing is Wang Xiyu, Navarro has been in poor condition since the beginning of the Chinese season last year, and it took more than three hours to escape death in the first round of the battle, but Wang Xiyu is still Wang Xiyu, a familiar formula, a familiar way of losing." ”(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
