As the last WTA high-level tournament (1000 level) before the start of the French Open every year, the Rome Open is always a must-see for the biggest players, as can be seen from the women's singles qualifying squad.
The qualifying tournament alone attracted a number of well-known players, including Blinkova, Lepchenko, Sasnovich, Grubic, Maria, Sakkari, Sigmund and so on. Wang Xiyu and Yuan Yue are also in the qualifying draw, and Yuan Yue is also the No. 23 seed in this year's Rome Women's Singles Qualifiers.
Yuan Yue, who won the Women's Singles title at W100 Oelash last week, faced Rukic in the first round and was eliminated in straight sets 3-6 4-6.
Throughout the match, Yuan Yue was trapped by Rukic's more rhythm changes, although in the second set once found a chance to chase the set to 4-4, but then his service game still did not improve much, Yuan Yue, who went out early, only gained 2 points and 5260 euros in Rome this year, and is currently ranked 85th.
Born in 2001, Wang Xiyu is still young, but has been recuperating from injuries since his opening game in Singapore at the start of the season, and only made a three-month comeback at last week's WTA 125 Pic, when he lost to Galfi 3-6 2-6 in the first round.
This week, Wang Xiyu moved to Rome Women's Singles Qualifying Tournament against American Pera in the first round, and finally China's Jinhua fought hard in three sets to win 6-3 3-6 6-3 to earn 20 points and 10,015 euros in prize money before advancing to the final round of qualifying.
Wang Xiyu, who won his first win since his comeback, will compete for a spot in the main draw against Dutch veteran Ruth, who eliminated a local wildcard player in the first round.
The qualifying rounds are hot, and the women's singles main draw has also been officially released, and the specific matches of the top eight seeds that have attracted much attention are as follows:
[1] Sabalenka VS [8] Zheng Qinwen
[4] Gauff VS [7] Andreeva
[6] Paulini VS [3] Pegula
[5] Keys VS [2] Swiatek
Among them, Zheng Qinwen's first-round opponent will be between Danilovic and Siniakova, and the potential opponents in the next few rounds are Azarenka, Rybakina and other famous players, and the overall signing is not good.
This year, Roma is the only one in the men's singles to qualify by virtue of his world rankings, and his first match will be homegrown player Dardeli, and the winner of the two will take on fifth seed Draper.
I hope that all Chinese players can achieve good results in Rome this year and warm up for the French Open!(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
