Highlights of the second round of the Jiang Wangzh...

Event Outlook

On September 11th, the Jiangwang tournament entered its third competition day, during which flowers bloomed and fell, while the enthusiasm of Hongcheng in the afternoon remained unchanged.

Butterfly flowers yearn to fly

After Wang Yafan, Peng Shuai, and Zhang Shuai all made appearances in the women's singles, Jiangwang entered the second round of the competition. Although Liu Fangzhou, who advanced in the first round, participated as a wild card this year, there was no pressure to pass the first round. She will welcome the Polish "Butterfly" Rinat at at the central stadium, who has been consistently successful as the third seed of the game at Jiangwang. On August 24, 2019, Rinat reached the final as a qualifying player at the NYJTL Bronx Open and ultimately won his first singles championship, a comeback for the "Butterfly".

Entering September, she once again launched a challenge to the Jiangwang laurel. As a famous killer, Linat is proud of his record in facing Chinese players. In 2018, Jiang Wang also made it to the semi-finals, but fell under the rose flower and was shattered by the final champion Wang Qiang's first singles championship dream. Returning to her hometown, as the third seed, she will be the biggest obstacle for the Jiangwang Chinese Players Group to compete for the championship this year. You should know that "Butterfly Flower" has been going to Guangzhou for training after the US Open in recent years, so switching to the Jiang Open in September will be more suitable for him in terms of climate. Chinese gold flowers should be careful.

Shuai Shuai's debut in doubles

Compared to the highlights of singles events, doubles combinations are more eye-catching. Zhang Shuai, the top seed of the women's singles competition, and Peng Shuai, the two time women's singles champion of Jiangwang, paired for the first time this year to participate in a doubles event. This will be the historic debut of the "Shuai Shuai" team at Jiangwang. As the second seeded team in the competition, they have become a hot spot for the championship after the first seeded team in the first round of doubles was eliminated.

In their debut, they will face a combination of Indonesian player Gumlia and Dutch player Rosalie. From the overall state of singles, the "Shuai Shuai" combination was particularly outstanding in September at Jiangwang. The cross-border combination of Gumlia and Rosalie is not unfamiliar to the "handsome" group. Peng Shuai teamed up with Yang Zhaoxuan to defeat them at the 2019 Kunming Open. This time, the partner has changed to the top seed in the women's singles competition, and it may be difficult for multinational teams to cause any trouble.

At the press conference on the 10th, both were asked questions about doubles. Peng Shuai stated that participating in doubles has greater tolerance for her current age and injuries, and preparing for doubles through participating in singles is a good choice. Her partner Zhang Shuai stated that due to their different focuses, Zhang Shuai, who focuses on singles, hopes that he will not "drag down" Peng Jie.
