The excitement sparked by the Chinese tennis contingent starting from the Miami qualifiers suddenly plummeted to zero within 24 hours!

After the qualifiers began, Bu Yun Chaokete, Yuan Yue, and Hong Kong's Coleman Wong did not disappoint, winning all three matches and thrilling fans and netizens. They couldn't help but scream wildly for the exceptional fighting spirit shown against strong opponents and the thrilling comeback performances staged in adversity.
Although the opponents became stronger after the three entered the final qualifying round, many still believed that even if all three couldn't advance to the main draw, at least one should successfully break through. Unexpectedly, they lost in ways that were increasingly heartbreaking.
After Yuan Yue staged a thrilling comeback in the first qualifying round, facing Birrell in the final round, some predicted beforehand that following the roller-coaster drama of her Miami debut, with the main draw just one step away, Little Yue Yue would surely elevate her state to the best, taking the initiative from the first set.

However, this anticipated scenario did not appear. Whether due to a slow start or insufficient rest, Yuan Yue completely lost the rhythm of the match and quickly surrendered the first set 2-6.
Pushed to the brink, Yuan Yue was finally awakened by Birrell. Seeing Little Yue Yue fight back fiercely, returning a 6-2 set in the second to tie the match, everyone thought a second comeback was imminent. They waited for the match to end, expecting Yuan Yue to successfully revenge the Austin loss and secure a main draw spot, ready to present prepared red flowers to this Yangzhou girl.
Unfortunately, Yuan Yue could not reproduce the ecstatic comeback script of the first round. Ultimately, because she fought too fiercely, her physical fitness declined at critical moments. The fitness monster Birrell ended the battle 6-4, granting her two consecutive losses and also blocking her from the Miami 1000 main draw.

If Yuan Yue's loss was regrettable, then Bu Yun Chaokete's exit was even more heartbreaking.
In the match against British player Ferry, Little Bu was not favored beforehand, even predicted by some to likely exit in two sets.
But after losing the first set 3-6, Bu Yun Chaokete not only avoided a two-set defeat by Ferry, but astonishingly chased back to tie the match 6-3 in the second set.
In the deciding set, Little Bu further raised the whistles of fans and netizens. Seeing him lead with a score like 4-1, almost everyone believed that Bu Yun Chaokete, with his online form and bursting confidence, would undoubtedly achieve a comeback against Ferry.

Surprising everyone, Bu Yun Chaokete suddenly collapsed as he approached the victory finish line. With sharply reduced combat power, Little Bu was ultimately overtaken by Ferry from an extremely passive position, achieving a comeback 7-5 in the deciding set, leaving countless fans and netizens exclaiming that the loss was too speechless.
After squandering a good hand, it also meant Bu Yun Chaokete missed the chance to meet Zhang Zhizhen and Wu Yibing waiting ahead in the main draw, ending his Miami Masters singles journey prematurely.
Hong Kong's Coleman Wong also failed to create a surprise, losing to the top qualifying seed Buse 2-6, 6-3, and 3-6, exiting in a somewhat tragic manner as well.

After Yuan Yue, Bu Yun Chaokete, and Coleman Wong exited together from the final qualifying round, Zhang Shuai, who率先登场打头炮 in the main draw, also failed to halt this losing streak. After a hard battle of 1 hour and 22 minutes, she lost in two sets under Kostya's racket.
The外界反应 and critical voices regarding Zhang Shuai's exit were not significant, because the 37-year-old Chinese veteran was not expected beforehand to pass Kostya's hurdle. Finally losing 3-6 and 4-6, this score was better than the anticipated possible sweep, especially considering she拼尽了所有 at 37!
The only遗憾 regarding Zhang Shuai's exit was that the Chinese veteran's form came too late.
After losing the first set 3-6, in the second set Zhang Shuai, trailing 0-4,一度追至4-5. Unfortunately, at the critical moment Kostya held the pressure, suppressing帅金花's momentum, ending the battle 6-4.

赛后有人说, if Zhang Shuai's这样的状态 came earlier, pushing the match into a three-set battle, who would ultimately win was truly hard to say,毕竟 she had granted Kostya three consecutive losses, possessing a huge psychological advantage.无奈 this momentum刚起来就被对手摁了下去, losing the match的同时,遭遇了背靠背单打一轮游 in the North American Sunshine Double.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Moon River's Sky)
