A few days ago, as Zheng Qinwen sang all the way to the final of the 2024 Australian Open, many people found that the post-00 Jinhua has become the leader of Chinese women's tennis. Among the post-00s golden flowers, Wang Xinyu and Wang Xiyu are the two more dazzling. Coincidentally, both girls were born in 2001. Because one is accustomed to playing the ball with his left hand and the other is used to playing the ball with his right hand, he is affectionately called "Wang Zuo Wang Right" by many fans.
The pair are not only teammates, but have also been partners, having won the Wimbledon Junior Women's Doubles title back in 2018. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that the Chinese women's doubles has won the Wimbledon junior women's doubles competition. Now, Wang Xiyu has won the tour title, while Wang Xinyu has reached the round of 16 at a Grand Slam event. All of this is enough to show that the two already have good strength.
Some time ago, in the first round of the WTA250 Auckland Open, Wang Xinyu and Wang Xiyu both defeated their opponents and reached the second round. In the first round of the Australian Open, both men fought with their opponents to the deciding set, and both lost to their opponents. On January 29, the two made their simultaneous appearances at the WTA 250 Hua Hin Open. So, how did these two fare on? Today, let the humble article take you to see it.
Wang Xiyu's opponent in the first round is Wang Qiang. Back in 2014, Wang Qiang won her first career Grand Slam victory. In the eight years since, Wang Qiang has achieved a good record, reaching the quarterfinals of the US Open and winning two tour titles. However, time flies, and since October 2022, Wang Qiang has not set foot on the tennis court for more than a year. Although she made a comeback on the China Tour at the end of 2023 and even won the singles championship, her opponents are basically mixed in the ITF arena, and the highest rankings are also outside the top 200, so what Wang Qiang's strength is now is still a mystery.
In the face of such an opponent, Wang Xiyu was full of firepower, and only let Wang Qiang get two games in the two games. What's more, it took her less than an hour to get the better of her. After Wang Xiyu's easy victory, Wang Xinyu stepped into battle against American Bektas. This player is ranked within the top 100 in the world, far higher than Wang Qiang. Objectively speaking, it will be a tough battle to greet Wang Xinyu.
As soon as the first set came up, Wang Xinyu showed excellent form, and her ace made Becktas a little tired. Although she was slightly inferior to her opponent in terms of first-serve and goal percentage, Wang Xinyu had a very good second-serve rate, and she broke two service games from Bektas. And when her opponent tried to break Wang Xinyu's serve, she successfully saved it. In this way, in the first set, Wang Xinyu took the lead by a big score. Seeing that the tide was turning, Bektas chose to retire.
In this way, Wang Xinyu and Wang Xiyu both defeated their opponents and reached the second round of the WTA 250 Hua Hin Open. It should be noted that this is the second time in 2024 that the two have reached the second round of the tour at the same time. Perhaps, this has become a magical law in 2024; Or perhaps, it will become a routine for the two to advance together. I hope that in the coming days, Wang Xinyu and Wang Xiyu can have a good record in the tennis court, so let's bless them. (*Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi).
