As the last major tournament (1000 level) before the official start of the 2025 French Open, this year's Rome station has attracted a number of famous players, among which the qualifying round has ended the competition, and the two Chinese Jinhua have all failed to advance to the main event.
No.23 seed Yuan Yue lost to veteran Rujic 3-6 4-6 in the first round, while Wang Xiyu was beaten in straight sets by No.16 seed Ruth in straight sets after knocking out No.7 seed and American Pera in the first round of qualifying. Here is the full list of qualifiers for the Women's Singles Qualifying Round:
[1] Volynets, [2] Blinkova, [22] Bondar, [4] Joint, [5] Tomjanovic, Rudzic, [16] Ruz, [8] Sakkari, [W] Mboko, [10] Arango, [11] Ruse, [12] Baptiste
Judging from the promotion list, the performance of the overall seeded players is still quite eye-catching and stable, and only high-ranked players such as [3] Semmez and [6] Maria failed to break through.
In the women's singles main draw, due to Yuan Yue and Wang Xiyu failed to advance, only two golden flowers in Rome will play in the main draw this year, Zheng Qinwen as the No. 8 seed of the tournament enjoys a first-round bye, and her second-round opponent will be between Siniakova and Danilovich.
Zheng Qinwen did not perform well in this year's clay warm-up tournament, and after losing to Alexandrova in the quarterfinals of Charleston in the quarterfinals, she withdrew from the competition at Stuttgart and lost to Portpova in Madrid in two sets to stop the second round.
After coming to Rome early, Zheng Qinwen has been warming up on the field, and she posted on social platforms, "All roads lead to Rome, and all kinds of dreams can be achieved." It is reported that Zheng Qinwen's first match is expected to start this Friday.
Another first-round opponent in the Rome draw is Vondrousova, who recently talked a lot in an exclusive interview with the media day, and also revealed that she had planned to play some low-level clay tournaments to find her touch, but was forced to withdraw due to food poisoning before the start of the tournament in Rouen.
"I started vomiting and diarrhea after eating it in the morning, and it took about three days to recover."
Therefore, after the Miami stop, Wang Xinyu went directly to Madrid to compete, and finally lost to the Greek star Sakkari in the first round in two sets, and she and doubles partner Zheng Saisai also lost to the famous pair of Maya/Sigmund in two sets.
Looking forward to the upcoming Rome tournament, Wang Xinyu said that she was in a good mood, "Because Madrid is a plateau, the ball is more elastic, and the ball speed in Rome will be faster, so the training in the past two days will be a little more targeted." ”
I look forward to the two golden flowers being able to play well in Rome!(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
