The list of the main draw of the 2025 French Open has been released, and compared with the 11 players who appeared in the main draw of the Australian Open at the beginning of this year, there are only four Chinese players who directly entered the main draw of this year's French Open, namely Zheng Qinwen and Wang Xinyu in women's singles and Buyun Chaoket and Zhang Zhizhen in men's singles.
In women's singles, Yuan Yue is temporarily ranked first as a substitute, and Wang Yafan is the fifth substitute, and the two are still very hopeful of directly entering the women's singles main event.
Also directly in the main draw of the Australian Open at the beginning of this year are Wang Xiyu and Zheng Saisai, the former of whom has been affected by injury since this year's Singapore tournament and has only a 1-4 record so far this season, with the only victory coming in the first round of the Australian Open (followed by the second round defeat by American star Navarro).
Zheng Saisai relied on the protection of the rankings to participate in some singles matches one after another, and in the doubles side, he was a regular partner with Wang Xinyu, and the two reached the women's doubles final in Singapore, and finally lost to Klotzke/Olmos in two sets.
In terms of men's players, Shang Juncheng, who made his debut at the Australian Open this year, announced his withdrawal from this year's French Open, and in fact, the Chinese hopeful star has been on and off this season.
After beating Wong Chak Lam and Martinez in the first two rounds of the Hong Kong Open in January, Shang Juncheng entered the quarter-finals with fever symptoms and finally defeated Fabian Mauroran in three sets to advance to the semi-finals of Hong Kong men's singles for the second year in a row.
In the semi-finals, he faced Japanese star and former Asian No. 1 Kei Nishikori, and finally had to retire due to illness after falling behind 3-4 in the first set; After the Australian Open, Shang Juncheng could only take painkillers to play, and retired in the first round due to foot pain.
Shang Juncheng has not participated in any tournaments since the Australian Open due to a foot injury, and after full communication with the team and doctors, he chose to undergo foot surgery and withdrew from the next series of tournaments.
Of course, Shang Juncheng, who was born in 2005, has just turned 20 years old, and there is no doubt that physical health is the first priority at this stage of his career, and scientific and reasonable control of injuries can play a role in prolonging his career.
Looking back at the 2024 French Open, it was Zhang Zhizhen who went the furthest in the men's singles competition, beating Vukic and Sonego in a row to advance to the round of 32, and finally lost to Tsitsipas in the third round.
In women's singles, Wang Xinyu and Zheng Qinwen reached the third round of women's singles, losing to Potapova and Avaniexiang respectively, and missed the women's singles round of 16; In Women's Doubles, Wang Xinyu went the farthest afield, partnering Japan's Eina Shibahara to reach the Women's Doubles round of 16, losing to fifth seeds Gauff/Siniakova in the quarter-finals.(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
