The central stadium is full of brilliance, with Peterson and Rinat winning their first day of regular matches
On the afternoon of the 9th, the main match of the Jiang Nets kicked off, with Chinese player Xun Fangying and 5th seeded Swedish player Rebecca Peterson competing for the first time at the Central Stadium.
At the beginning of the first set, Peterson launched a fierce attack and secured a successful start. Under the strong pressure of the opponent, Chinese flower Xun Fangying made consecutive mistakes such as hanging the net and returning the ball out of bounds. In the blink of an eye, Peterson suddenly raised the score to 3-0. Subsequently, Peterson won the game with the first Ace ball from the inside corner today, sweeping the opponent 6-0 and taking the first set. In the second set, the opponent fell into a stalemate and the score stayed at 40:40 multiple times. Peterson strongly countered Xun Fangying's advance, successfully securing the first inning and winning the score with a forehand and backslash in the fifth inning. In the sixth inning, Xun Fangying's form rebounded and he won two consecutive games, transferring the pressure to his opponent. At the critical moment, Peterson quickly adjusted his attacking pace and successfully broke a backhand straight shot, killing the game. Finally, Peterson advanced to the second round of Jiangwang with a score of 2-0.
After the game, Xun Fangying stated that although losing the game was regrettable, it was a very rare experience to compete with high-level players. Through this game, she could also find her own gap and greatly improve her skills and tactics.
In the second game, Joanna Walmos from Mexico competed against Magda Rinath from Poland. In the end, the third seeded Rinat defeated Walmers 2-0 with a large score, advancing strongly.
Throughout the game, in the first inning of the first set, after Walmers scored a straight shot with a forehand, Rinath immediately hit an outside corner ACE ball to equalize the score. A few rounds later, the game reached the breaking point. To the surprise of the audience, Rinat threw his second ACE ball again in the face of being broken, and then easily won with a high pressure ball on the net, winning the first inning of the first set and quickly controlling the pace of the game, winning three games in a row.
Perhaps due to the impact of the hot weather, despite breaking two innings with extremely fast ball speed, Reinat still made mistakes. Walmos quickly seized the opportunity to counterattack and brought the game to a climax. In the 9th inning, when Rinat made another mistake and decided to counterattack, the struggling Walmers equalized the score and immediately took the lead. Afterwards, Lynette challenged Foxten and equalized the score through replays, successfully securing the first set victory with a guaranteed start. In subsequent matches, Rinat maintained an advantage and ultimately won the game in just 1 hour and 17 minutes.
The combination of doubles shows its power, calms down and becomes a "dark horse"
On the evening of the 9th, in the center court of the National Sports Tennis Stadium, the remaining autumn heat still scorched the ground. The highly anticipated doubles match was played by the first seeded pair Alisandra Krunich and Lydia Malozawa against Chinese flower duo Wang Xinyu and Zhu Lin.
In the first set, the two Chinese players showed a slight lack of coordination and lost three consecutive games. In the fourth game, the Chinese team withstood the pressure and gradually found a sense, breaking through for the first time and winning this game. Subsequently, the score between the two sides was pressed step by step, very tight. Soon, the game entered the seventh inning of the bayonet winning game. Both sides alternately took the lead, and in the end, Chinese player Zhu Lin returned the ball and made a mistake in the net, unfortunately losing the first set.
Surprisingly, at the beginning of the second set, the Chinese players quickly adjusted their form, played with a wide opening and closing style, and quickly won the first game. Subsequently, Wang Xinyu and Zhu Lin cooperated with Yu Fa to lead the score all the way, continuously creating pressure on the opponent, resulting in multiple errors such as returning the ball and dropping the net. Finally, the Chinese Little Flower Group won the second set with a brilliant score of 6:0.
Subsequently, entering the tenth inning of the competition, after a brief calm start, the two Chinese flowers performed well and did not give their opponents any breathing space. They took the victory away with a score of 10:4, successfully blocking the first seed combination of the doubles tournament from the second round, becoming the first "dark horse" of this year's Jiangwang.
At the post match press conference, Zhu Lin said, "Before the start of the second set, we summarized the reasons for the mistakes in the first set, so we decided to put down our mental burden and adopt a more aggressive approach to fight for the initiative on the field." Wang Xinyu believes that in this fast-paced game, we truly experienced the high-level doubles match with a fast pace, especially learning how to handle the key ball from Zhu Lin.
It is worth mentioning that today's doubles match was the first collaboration between two Chinese players, and being able to adjust so quickly on the spot is the key to winning. The performance in subsequent matches is expected.
Outfield players Jiage Luqi and Liu Fangzhou advanced to the second round
The second game of outfield field 1 was played between Chinese player Liu Fangzhou and Kazakh player Anna Danilina. The two fought fiercely for 2 hours and 07 minutes, and Liu Fangzhou won the second round with a score of 2:1 after 12 sets of decisive matches with his opponent.
