Waiting, waiting, the last week of February has finally come to each of us. Although spring has entered, the north wind is still biting and the weather is still a little cold in most parts of the country. Here, on behalf of all the colleagues of "Tennis Home", please allow the author to tell all netizens that in the cold season of spring, you must remember to keep warm when you go out!

While the vast majority of Chinese players returned home early on the Tour and Challenger last week, Guo Hanyu surprised us with a six-game winning streak to reach the finals starting with the Hope Qualifiers. This week, she will appear at the ITF W35 Launceston W35 tennis court. Due to the increase in the world rankings, Guo Hanyu will no longer need to compete in the qualifying rounds of the Hope Tournament. So, will she be able to continue her good form and reach the final as she always wants, and even claim her first Hope Race of the 2025 season? This is the first question waiting for the Chinese players to solve this week.

You Xiaodi and Ma Yexin, who have been in the second tier for a long time, will also appear on the ITF W35 Launceston W35 tennis court at the same time, and the two players seeded in the ITF W35 Burnie tennis tournament last week both stopped in the second round. So, that's the second question waiting for the Chinese players to crack this week.

Whether it is in the overseas hope tournament or the challenge tournament, the performance of the post-05 teenager Zhou Yi is not satisfactory. Perhaps in order to change this situation, in the 2025 season, he has been breaking through overseas hope and challenge tournaments. It's a pity that so far, Zhou Yi's results have still not broken through. In the face of criticism, he did not flinch. This week's week will be at the ITF M25 Faro Hope. So, will the former Australian Open junior semi-finalist be able to compete in the overseas hope tournament and win the first overseas hope tournament title of his career? This is the third question waiting for the Chinese players to solve this week.

Gao Xinyu, who started the 2025 season well, seems to be interested in competing in the ITF W75 tournament, and this week she signed up for the ITF W75 Trnava tennis tournament. With the world rankings already rising to No. 125, she will remain the top seed. Two weeks ago, Gao Xinyu reached the final of the ITF W75 Legano tennis tournament. So, will she be able to get out of the shadow of last week's early exit in the second round this week, find her former self, and sing all the way to win the championship? This is the fourth question waiting for Chinese players to solve this week.

Last season, at the WTA 250 Austin station, Yuan Yue won the first tour title of her career. Not only that, Wang Xiyu, who has always been known as the nerve knife, also reached the second tour final of his career here last season. It was the 2024 season, the first time a Chinese derby has been featured in a tour final, and the only time a Chinese derby has been featured in a tour final in the 2024 season. However, this week, Yuan Yue is the only one to make it to the main draw of the WTA 250 Tour Austin by virtue of her world ranking, and her opponent in the first round is Australian sister Birrell. In the 2025 season, Birrell has reached the quarterfinals of the tour three times. Can Yuan Yue defeat her opponent and successfully defend her title? This is the fifth question waiting for Chinese players to solve this week.

Both Zhang and Buyun will continue to appear on the ATP 500 Tour this week. Zhang will face France's Perricard in the first round of the ATP 500 Dubai Open, while Buyun will face American Mikkelson in the first round of the ATP 500 Acapulco. Although Zhang has beaten Perricar in straight sets at the Cincinnati Masters, the already top 30 player is not easy to deal with. And Mikkelson has defeated Byunchaokt twice and has a certain psychological advantage. So, will the two Chinese men's tennis players be able to both win on tour this week? This is the sixth question waiting for the Chinese players to solve this week.

A lot of times, the world of tennis is really just a teahouse. In this teahouse, there are many, many tea customers who have been here for a long time, and some of them have become quite famous. However, there are always fledgling tea drinkers who come here and look forward to tasting the sweet tea with their own efforts. And the author is just a small scholar in the corner of this teahouse who tells the stories of these tea customers in obscurity. I hope my article can bring some fresh information to all fans. Whether it's compliments or criticisms, maybe it's just to be able to get me far. That's it for today, and it continues tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
