Losing for two weeks in a row, Wei Sijia had a bad season on clay

As we all know, in a little while, at Roland Garros, the only Grand Slam to be held on clay, the French Open, will kick off. However, perhaps few fans know that in fact, the first time Chinese Jinhua reached the round of 16 of a Grand Slam was at the French Open. Not only that, but China's Jinhua won her first singles Grand Slam title at the French Open. Moreover, the post-00 Jin Hua reached the top 16 of a Grand Slam for the first time, also at the French Open. In this way, the French Open can be called the blessed land of China's golden flower. However, during this time, there was a Chinese golden flower who repeatedly failed on clay. She used her performance to tell many netizens that it is not easy to get good results in the French Open. So, who is this Chinese golden flower? Today, let the humble article take you to see it.

The Chinese golden flower is Wei Sijia, who has just started the 2025 season with four straight wins at the Canberra Challenger to reach the final. Although she failed to lift the trophy, it was the final of the highest-level tennis tournament that Wei Sijia has reached so far. Through this performance, Wei Sijia has boosted her confidence. She then won three straight matches at this year's Australian Open qualifiers to reach the main draw of her first career Grand Slam.

Since then, Wei Sijia has repeatedly broken through from the tour qualifiers. She has steadily improved her world rankings with one victory after another. Because of this, many fans are optimistic that Wei Sijia can break through the TOP100 ranking. Last week, Wei Sijia went to Antalya's first challenge as the eighth seed. Her opponent in the first round was Spain's Romero Germaz, and because she was slightly ranked higher than her opponent, there were more fans who were optimistic about Wei Sijia to advance before the game. However, in this match, Wei Sijia lost to her opponent and went out of the tournament. In this way, her first clay match of the 2025 season ended in defeat. After defeating Wei Sijia, Romero Germaz sang all the way to the final.

This week, Wei Sijia will continue to be the eighth seed in the tournament's second challenge in Antalya. Her first-round opponent was Austrian qualifier Klaus. After the start of the first set, Klaus scored consecutive breaks, while Wei Sijia chose to retire due to injury. In this way, she played a round on clay for two weeks in a row. Despite this, Wei Sijia is still ranked 114th in the world, which is the highest world ranking she has achieved since her tennis debut. With Wei Sijia going back on clay, will she be able to claim her first clay win in 2025? Let's wait and see.

A lot of times, the world of tennis is really just a teahouse. In this teahouse, there are many, many tea customers who have been here for a long time, and some of them have become quite famous. However, there are always fledgling tea drinkers who come here and look forward to tasting the sweet tea with their own efforts. And the author is just a small scholar in the corner of this teahouse who tells the stories of these tea customers in obscurity. I hope my article can bring some fresh information to all fans. Whether it's compliments or criticisms, maybe it's just to be able to get me far. That's it for today, and it continues tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
