Zhu Lin defeated Duan Yingying in two straight sets to welcome a good start

On July 23, Beijing time, the 2018 Jiangxi Open tennis tournament kicked off in full swing. In the first game of the Central Stadium, the 7th seeded Duan Yingying was welcomed. The 2016 Jiangwang champion encountered a bottleneck in singles this year and did not perform well. Faced with Zhu Lin, who was very familiar to each other, Duan Yingying only lasted for 1 hour and 14 minutes before being eliminated by Zhu Lin 6-2/6-3.

As the 2016 Jiangwang women's singles champion, Duan Yingying returned from surgery this year and was in poor form throughout the game, making multiple mistakes. Although the power of serving has not dissipated, the overall state is significantly different from that of Zhu Lin. In the first game, Duan Yingying protected her serve with an ACE ball, faintly witnessing Jiang Wang's winning demeanor. When the score was 0-40 in the third inning, she also showed good willpower and pulled the score to 40-40. However, Zhu Lin had a better grasp of the situation and seized the break opportunity to expand the advantage of the inning. In the fifth inning, Duan Yingying showed signs of fatigue and made two double mistakes in serving, leading her out of the inning. Zhu Lin broke twice in the first set and went on to the next set 6-2.

In the second set, Duan Yingying was continuously broken by Zhu Lin, and the score was quickly pulled back to 0-3. Unfortunately, Zhu Lin's physical strength slightly declined and she was unable to take advantage of the winning pursuit. She was tied by Duan Yingying for three consecutive innings, and fell into a long set with a small score of 40-40 in the 8th inning. Zhu Lin took advantage of the winning pursuit with an ace ball, and reached the decisive inning 5-3. In the final game, Duan Yingying made double mistakes in her serve, and Zhu Lin insisted on defending 6-3 to secure victory ahead of schedule.
