On February 20, the first round of WTA 1000 Dubai and ATP 250 Doha started at the same time, and Chinese tennis was mixed. Zhang Zhizhen defeated Italy's Musetti in Doha to advance to the second round strongly. In the Dubai race, Jinhua Zhang Shuai, Zhu Lin, and Wang Xiyu lost to their opponents at the same time and suffered a round of tours.
Zhang Zhizhen only lost 2 games and was upset to advance.
Zhang Zhizhen had a bad luck in Doha this week, facing world No. 26 Italian star Musetti in the first round. Before the game, I was not very optimistic about Zhang Zhizhen, because in terms of strength, Zhang Zhizhen still has a gap with his opponent.
Zhang Zhizhen's mentality today is very good, and he fights his opponent with the mentality of impacting his opponent. This had a good effect, and Zhang Zhizhen won the first set 6-2 by winning three games in a row in the first set. In the second set, Zhang Zhizhen performed even better, successfully broke serve 3 times in a row, sent the opponent 6-0, and won the upset with a big score of 2-0, and easily advanced.
Throughout the game, Zhang Zhizhen had a large advantage in both serve and offense, and finally won easily to advance.
3. Golden Flower One Round Tour.
Compared with Zhang Zhizhen's strong promotion, Jinhua Zhang Shuai, Zhu Lin and Wang Xiyu are much bleaker. China Jinhua has 5 people participating in the Dubai 1000 Tournament in this station, Zheng Qinwen has a bye in the first round and directly advances to the second round, and the remaining 4 people start in the first round.
Zhang Shuai chose to make a comeback in this tournament and participated with a wild card, facing Pliskova in the first round. Pliskova is the Grand Slam runner-up and is very strong. Zhang Shuai started the two sets perfectly today, but he did not maintain his advantage at the end of the set, and finally lost to his opponent at -7 and missed the second round. Zhang Shuai's state is okay, far better than last year.
Zhu Lin's opponent today is Potapova. Zhu Lin was in hot form in the first set and won 6-4. However, at the beginning of the second set, Zhu Lin's hitting line was obviously predicted by Potapova, Zhu Lin played very impatiently, and finally lost two sets in a row -6, lost to the opponent 1-2, and was out of the first round.
Wang Xiyu's situation is similar to Zhu Lin's, facing Grand Slam champion Ostapenko in the first round. Wang Xiyu was full of strength in the first set, and compared with Ao Fat, he did not fall behind, and finally won 7-5. After the physical decline, Wang Xiyu's hitting quality dropped a lot, and finally lost two sets in a row with -6, and was reversed by his opponent and missed the second round.
Wang Xinyu also lost in yesterday's game, and only Zheng Qinwen was left in the Chinese team, and Zheng Qinwen carried the flag alone in this game.
