Yuan Yue's Abu Dhabi debut performance was smashed! Behind Xiao Yueyue's loss is the overnight fame of the 17-year-old Japanese girl Sonobe Hachi, ranked 834th in the world!
Before this matchup began, considering that Sonobe Hachiko was a pure newcomer, as well as Yuan Yue's tournament experience and status as a tour champion, almost everyone thought that Xiao Yueyue would teach the Japanese girl a good lesson, and then let her go home to continue her efforts, and have the opportunity to compete with the tour players in the future.
No one would have thought that Yuan Yue, who was favored in all aspects, unexpectedly fell into a bitter battle in the face of Sonobe Hachiko from the first set, and then lost this set 4-6, and was taken by the Japanese girl in advance.
This result surprised the fans and netizens in the live broadcast room at the time, although Yuan Yue's recent state is not particularly stable, but it seems that it should not be played like this against a young player.
I thought that Yuan Yue would win the victory in one go after making a dream start of 3-0 in the second set, and I was ashamed of the loss in the first set, but I didn't expect Yuan Yue to suddenly not play after taking the lead, but it was the garden that the eight music became more and more courageous when he was at a disadvantage, and gave Xiao Yueyue an invisible egg with six games in a row, knocking down the Chinese golden flower in the first round of Abu Dhabi, breaking out a big upset.
It is inevitable that Yuan Yue, who lost, will be unhappy, because since the Abu Dhabi draw was announced, everyone thought that Xiao Yueyue had drawn a lottery against qualifying players like Sonobe Hachiko in the first round. This kind of signing is very good compared to Abdul-Jabbar's first-round defeat of Ostapenko, Vondrousova and Raducanu. But in the face of the opportunity given to him by God, Yuan Yue did not grasp it, which made people feel very sorry after thinking about it.
Where did Yuan Yue lose? Because from all aspects, Xiao Yueyue can crush the eight pieces of the garden.
Yes, Yuan Yue's ability in all aspects is indeed not comparable to the Sonobe Yasa who has just entered the adult arena, and she finally lost to the 17-year-old Japanese girl, it cannot be said that the Chinese Jinhua played particularly badly, but the Sonobe Hachiko played too well in all aspects.
Judging from the relevant data in the first set, Yuan Yue's 57.8% first-serve goal rate is lower than the 66.7% of Japanese girls; The 69.2% first-serve scoring rate is also far inferior to the opponent's 85%; The 42.1% second-serve scoring rate can't compete with the 60% of Sonobe Hachiga. This is also the core reason why the outside world thought that Yuan Yue would suppress the Japanese girl before the game, and from this set of data, Yuan Yue became the side suppressed by the opponent, and naturally seemed very passive.
Another thing that makes people appreciate the Japanese girl is that she appeared in a high-level event like the Abu Dhabi 500 Championship, and she was not afraid because Yuan Yue's strength, ranking and fame were all above herself, from the beginning to the end of the game, she was playing at her own pace, and even when she was behind in the second set, she did not collapse, and this psychological quality really made people look at her impressively.
In addition, Yuan Yue was upset in Abu Dhabi and staged a round of tours, which is also related to her decent style of play.
Throughout the game, everyone saw Yuan Yue attacking left and right, neither cutting such a change, nor small ball transition, always trying to kill the opponent in this way, and the opponent's tenacity and tenacity were full of tenacity, so that Xiao Yueyue could not score points in the confrontation, but she had no other way to deal with it, this too single style of play seemed to have doomed Yuan Yue's defeat.
On the other hand, although she is only 17 years old this year, her playing style is more flexible and changeable than Yuan Yue, and Xiao Yueyue's psychological endurance in terms of key points and break points is far inferior to that of Japanese girls, so that the opponent flies against the wind when she falls behind 0-3, and some fans and netizens bluntly said, "It is not surprising that the opponent was given an invisible egg in the end." ”
With a fight against Yuan Yue, the Chinese Golden Flower, Sonobe Ba Cheng really made a big impression. After the match, many people said that the Japanese girl whose psychological quality, technique, playing style and adaptability are not inferior to the tour players, continue to play in this way, "There should be no problem at all in the future ranking to stabilize in the TOP20 or enter the top 10, the future is limitless, and it is indeed worthy of the junior women's singles champion of this year's Australian Open." ”
After the end of the Australian Open, the Abu Dhabi 500 just debuted, and played a commendable and impressive match, many people emphasized when praising the Japanese girl, "It seems that China Jinhua has another opponent at the doorstep of Asia, and we must continue to work hard, otherwise there will be more and more challenges, and the pressure will be more and more!" ”(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
