Original title: Zhang Shuai singles out, Wang Qiang retired due to injury
At the diamond court of the Chinese open last night, Zhang Shuai lost 2-6, 6-1 and 4-6 to his opponent and was out of the first round of the Chinese open. Her previous doubles match with stosser passed in the first round, but Zhang Shuai still hopes to play more games at the end of the season and strive for a doubles seat in the year-end finals of Shenzhen WTA. Another Chinese Golden Flower Wang Qiang withdrew due to injury while leading 7-5 and 5-3, and her opponent Tom janovich of Australia advanced to the second round.
Looking back on the performance of China open from doubles to singles this year, Zhang Shuai admitted that he had some ups and downs in the game. " Yesterday's doubles was really not very good. " Zhang Shuai said in an interview yesterday.
This year, Zhang Shuai partnered with Australian famous player stosser in doubles. The two reached the final all the way to the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, and finally won the Australian Open women's doubles championship trophy. At present, they are still expected to enter the year-end finals in Shenzhen.
Although he intends to give a satisfactory answer in the Chinese season, Zhang Shuai's performance after the US Open can only be described as mediocre. From Zhengzhou open, Wuhan open to China open, Zhang Shuai's overall performance was not exciting. In the Chinese open, Zhang Shuai had a psychological advantage over Kobel. In the Chinese open last year, Zhang Shuai met Kobel in the third round. They also fought hard for 3 sets, and Zhang Shuai swept his opponent in the decisive set to advance. Comparing the two games, Zhang Shuai admitted that he had good play and shortcomings.
At the end of the season, Zhang Shuai summarized the 2019 season and expressed satisfaction with his achievements. " I have highlights in singles and doubles. It is certain that some adjustments will be made next year. I hope there will be more progress next year. "
