At present, only Zheng Qinwen and Wang Xinyu are ranked within the TOP100 among China's golden flowers, and Zhu Lin, Wang Xiyu, Wang Yafan, Bai Zhuoxuan, Yuan Yue and others have all fallen out of the TOP100. Among them, it is particularly regrettable that Yuan Yue, after two consecutive wins at the beginning of the 2025 season, she actually suffered nine consecutive defeats, and in these nine consecutive defeats, four of them reached a tie-break, but they failed to win a single one, which directly caused Yuan Yue's world ranking to fall to the bottom. So, when exactly did these four games take place? Who are Yuan Yue's opponents? Today, let the humble article take you to see it.
In mid-February, in the first round of the WTA1000 Doha Open, Yuan Yue, who had lost four in a row, met France's Garcia, a former US Open semifinalist. At that time, Garcia had just suffered two consecutive defeats, and the two could be said to be in the same situation. With the world ranking more than 20 places higher than Garcia, many fans believe that Yuan Yue should be able to win and end his losing streak. However, in this game, Garcia gave Yuan Yue a fritter in the first set, although Yuan Yue's state improved in the second set and stubbornly dragged the game into a tie-break, but unfortunately he still lost to Garcia in the tie-break, and could only embarrassingly accept the reality of five consecutive defeats.
At the end of February, Yuan Yue appeared at the WTA 250 Austin Open. Last season, she won her first career tour title here and entered the top 50 for the first time in the world rankings. In the first round of this tournament against Australia's Birrell, Yuan Yue lost the season for six consecutive defeats and the world ranking fell again.
In mid-March, at the WTA1000 Indian Wells tennis tournament, Yuan Yue, who had fallen to the edge of the top 100, faced Siniakova of the Czech Republic in the first round. The player has won 10 Grand Slam women's doubles titles in doubles, as well as mixed doubles and women's doubles at the Olympics. In singles, Siniakova has never won a WTA 250 event or higher. Because of this, although the world ranking is far higher than Yuan Yue, there are still many fans who believe that Yuan Yue should have a dozen in this game.
Sure enough, after losing the first set, Yuan Yue returned the color in the second set with the same score, dragging the game into the deciding set while letting herself see the hope of winning. In the deciding set, the two did not give in to each other until the tie-break. Yuan Yue failed to hold on to the advantage when she was leading by a tie-break, and finally lost the game regrettably. After losing this match, Yuan Yue's instant world ranking fell out of the top 100.
In the first round of the Oelash Challenge last week, Yuan Yue faced Andorra's Jimenez across the net. Due to the weather, the match did not start until Thursday. Yuan Yue went down to the city first, and once saw the hope of victory. However, Jimenez won the second set to take the match to a decider, and the two were back on the same page. In the deciding set, both sides held their serve and took the match to a tie-break. In the tie-break, Yuan Yue was unable to hold on, was reversed by the opponent, and was shocked out. So far, she has suffered nine consecutive defeats, and her world ranking has fallen to TOP103.
