After the Australian Open entered the second week of the competition, someone on a certain platform threw out a very hot question: Who else is there in the 2023 Australian Open women's singles eight beauties?

To be precise, the overall performance of the women's singles quarterfinals of last year's Australian Open this year is not strong enough, and only two girls are still left in the draw table.

Not many of the girls who reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open last year still remember their names, and these eight girls are: Krejcikova, Karinskoa, Yastremska, Noskova, Tauson, Zheng Qinwen, Gauff and Sabalenka.

It's a pity that before the official start of this year's Australian Open, Krejcikova was the first to announce her retirement due to injury, becoming one of the first eight beauties to disappear from the women's singles field of this Australian Open.

After that, Kalinskaya, the Russian beauty also retired due to injury!

Karinskaia's withdrawal is completely different from Krejcikova's, the Russian beauty announced her decision to withdraw five minutes after the start of the match, and her withdrawal also gave birth to a magical dark horse in this Australian Open: Leis.

Leith missed out on the Australian Open main draw after failing to make it through the qualifying round, and just as she was about to buy a ticket to go home, the news of Karinskaya's withdrawal suddenly came, making her a lucky loser and thus getting the chance to appear in the main draw.

For God to smash this colored ball on his head, Leith did not live up to this preference, all the way to the women's singles round of 16, while becoming the biggest dark horse of this Australian Open, but also became the first lucky loser to break into the women's singles round of 16 since the 1998 Australian Open, creating history.

Someone once humorously said that no matter how far Leith can go in the Australian Open next, after the end of the Australian Open, he should take the initiative to send a red envelope to Karinskaya, if it weren't for the Russian beauty who withdrew a few minutes before the Australian Open match, a few minutes later, this good luck would have been completely lost with her, "With this, Miss Leigh should send a thank you gift, otherwise how can there be this current wealth." ”

The 20-year-old Czech Noskova is the third woman to say goodbye to last year's quarter-finals at the Australian Open.

At just 19 years old last year, Noskova was definitely the brightest star in the women's singles, and her victory over then-world number one Swiatek was arguably the biggest victory of her career. It's a pity that the performance of the Czech girls this year is very different from last year, although they played three sets with the Danish girl Towsen in the first round, they were ruthlessly eliminated in the end.

The fourth eliminated last year's quarterfinals is China's first sister Zheng Qinwen!

As one of the favourites to win this year's Australian Open, Zheng Qinwen is in fifth place at odds to win the title. Although he failed to rush to the top three in terms of odds, it did not affect Zheng Qinwen's confidence at all, wearing a queenwen crown suit and shouting out the goal of winning the championship in an interview, which made the outside world full of expectations for Zheng Qinwen.

never thought that in the second round against the 36-year-old German veteran Sigmund, the highly promising Zheng Qinwen was eliminated by Sigmund in straight sets, breaking the biggest upset in women's singles since the start of the Australian Open.

The fifth place to be eliminated was the Ukrainian beauty Yastremska. The Ukrainian beauty was eliminated, purely due to bad luck, and was in the same half as the former Australian Open runner-up Rybakina.

After making her debut in the United Cup in the new season, Rybakina's momentum to return to the top has risen like a rocket, and this time she met such an opponent in the third round, which can only be said that God was really cruel to Yastremska, and was eliminated by the Kazakhstan beauty in straight sets.

At that time, looking at the sad back of the Ukrainian beauty when she left, some people said that if the opponent was not Rybakina, or if they hadn't met so early, "Even if the IELTS girl can't match last year's semi-final record, at least she won't be eliminated so quickly." ”

The sixth place to be eliminated last year's eight beauty was Kostyuk. The Ukrainian beauty said goodbye to Melbourne in advance, and like her compatriot Yastremska, she was also subject to the signing.

In the third round, he met former world No. 2 Badosa, and before the match started, Kostyuk was already not favored in advance.

However, Kostyuk still played the full three sets with Badosa, during which he caused great problems for the Spanish beauty, and it can be said that he was still honored.

The only two remaining eight beauties from last year are none other than Sabalenka and Gauff, the two favorites this year, both of whom have equaled last year's quarterfinals.

In the fourth round, Sabalenka played against the Russian young girl Andreeva, many people thought before the match that this was the real challenge that the Belarusian girl encountered in this Australian Open, but Sabalenka unexpectedly rewrote the script predicted by the outside world, swept Andreeva 6-1 and 6-2, and advanced strongly into the second week of the Australian Open.

Gauff then played against the Swiss star Bencic, although she lost the first set 5-7, but the American girl still showed enough calm and excellent form in the face of Bencic's strong attack, and finally completed the comeback 6-2 and 6-1.

Now seeing Sabalenka and Gauff become the defenders of the honor of last year's quarterfinals, many people say with emotion that they are really similar every year, and the people are different every year, and the two strongest and absolute hardcore queens of the current women's tennis are still in the end. The only regret is that Sabalenka and Gauff are in the top half, even if the current form of the two is excellent, only one person can enter the final in the end, thinking about the heavens is still a little ruthless.(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
