What's wrong with the Chinese army this year, the singles are not strong, and now even the most reassuring doubles seems to have problems! Someone described the performance of Chinese singles and doubles players at the French Open this year!
Before the start of the first round of doubles, in the singles that started first, the overall performance of the Chinese army was sluggish. Four of them played in singles, and in the end, only Zheng Qinwen was still in the draw. Yuan Yue, Wang Xinyu and Buyun Chaoket all fell in the first round of the pass and staged a round of tours.
It doesn't matter if you don't perform well in singles and suffer a round, there are also Chinese players who also play doubles with a huge lineup to look forward to.
Everyone is so confident in Chinese doubles, that is, they think that this is the absolute strength of Chinese tennis, in the past, the Chinese army has repeatedly encountered Waterloo in the singles field, and it is doubles that finally supports the face of Chinese tennis.
However, the doubles of the French Open has just begun, and the bad news that is not conducive to the Chinese army has come one after another, and the five doubles pairs related to the Chinese players appeared in the first round, and did not win full applause for Chinese tennis, but in the end, only one Chinese pair won, and the other four doubles pairs all suffered a round of tours.
After the 36-year-old Zhang Shuai lost in the second round of the singles qualifying round and missed the main draw early, her doubles match with Gaideji became everyone's biggest expectation for the Chinese veteran.
Unfortunately, the French Open was too cruel to the veteran Zhang Shuai, and instead of being a role model for her hard work and always being positive, she was especially favored in terms of luck, but sent top seeds Siniakova and Townsend to her in the first round.
The first round against the top seed combination is of course a great challenge for Zhang Shuai's combination, and she and Gaideji have just started to work together, so tacit understanding is naturally a big problem, and it is quite difficult to surprise everyone.
It is said that doubles is a two-person turn, and if you want to play brilliantly and win more applause, you must cooperate tacitly.
Regrettably, Zhang Shuai's partner Gaideji was not in good shape in the singles court, and his performance was still stretched after appearing in the doubles court, resulting in the 36-year-old Chinese veteran even if he risked his life and took everything he could to bring her up, and was finally defeated by the top seed in two sets.
After the match, everyone regretted that Zhang Shuai's team suffered a round of defeat, because they led 6-5 in the second set and held two set points, but they were eliminated because of Gadeji's frequent mistakes.
Some people say that if Gadeji plays even a little bit better and the two win the second set to tie the score, it is really suspenseful whether the top seeds can win.
It's a pity that there is no if, this game, which was supposed to achieve a reversal, was seriously dragged back by the opponent, so that Zhang Shuai lost quite badly at this year's French Open.
Compared with Zhang Shuai's loss, it is very puzzling that Chinese doubles player Xu Yifan fell in the first round.
China's Jinhua and Karenina played doubles, and they were much more favored than Zhang Shuai's combination before the game. However, in the first round against the combination of Babos and Stefani, the two felt like they were on vacation in Paris, and their minds seemed to be on the field at all, and they only resisted for 46 minutes before being swept away by the opponent pair with eggs and fritters.
Guo Hanyu's partner Shibahara Yingcai lost, and like Zhang Shuai's combination, he was accused of losing a little pity.
The two were expected to finish the match in two sets and advance to the second round because they made a mistake at a critical moment, and after being relieved by the opponent pair of Burrich and Qatar, they defeated the two in two sets in a row, and the loss made everyone think that it was even more regrettable than the Zhang Shuai combination.
After Buyun Chokert suffered a round in singles, he also signed up for doubles at this French Open, and his partner was Carabelli!
The performance of this multinational duo is comparable to that of Xu Yifan and Sister Kareni, and the two have been in the arena since the beginning of the game, giving people a feeling of being in tune, and the whole audience is not in shape. As a result, the two were swept 6-2 and 6-1 by Balagui and Barrera in only 51 minutes, giving them a round, which was considered a reasonable thing by everyone.
After losing this crucial doubles match, it is also officially announced that Buyun Chaokert's French Open journey this year is over!
It is gratifying that the doubles of Chinese players did not end up in the first round of the French Open, and finally waited for good news.
The Chinese duo of Jiang Xinyu and Wu Fangxian put in an excellent performance, holding control of the match tightly from the first set, and finally swept away Parks and Osorio 6-4, 6-1 in just 68 minutes, and they also became the only Chinese pair to win on the day of the French Open double-open, which was quite a morale boost.
After the game, everyone praised Jiang Xinyu and Wu Fangxian for being so competitive, and finally made a good start for Chinese tennis on the first day of the doubles tournament, avoiding the embarrassing situation of annihilation, which is definitely a great encouragement to other Chinese doubles players who will appear next on the stage!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
