Post-match summary and reflections
First of all, a reminder for Wang Xinyu: you have impressed this season, reaching the Hobart final and the Australian Open round of 16. After winter training, your level has improved. However, playing two matches every day is exhausting even for the strongest. If you keep this up, don’t expect to make significant progress in singles!
At this tournament, Wang looked extremely fatigued, which explains the singles loss. Then, less than two hours later, she played doubles again. Even an ironwoman can’t sustain that without risking injury.
Yuan Yue’s loss is very unfortunate since her opponent was not stronger. But her performance in the second set was too weak. We look forward to better results from her in the future!
