Compared with the men's team, the number of women players participating in the 2019 Australian Open is nearly four times that of men. A total of 11 members of the women's team, including Peng Shuai, Zheng Saisai, Wang Qiang, Zhu Lin, Zhang Shuai, Xu Yixuan, Duan Yingying, Jiang Xinyu, Yang Zhaoxuan, Wang Yafan and Han Xinyun, participated in the competition.

In addition to Wang Qiang and Zhang Shuai, Zheng Saisai and Wang Yafang ranked among the top 100 in the world, while Peng Shuai ranked 291 in the world and 16th in China.
In general, among the players participating in the 2019 Australian Open, the women's team has greatly surpassed the men's team in terms of comprehensive ranking and number. From the data, the probability of women's team achieving excellent results in the competition is much higher than that of men's team. However, the men's team also has something worth looking forward to. I hope they can create good results. Let's wait and see what the final result will be.
