China's rising tennis star Wei Sijia is serving up major excitement 🇨🇳! The 21-year-old smashed her way through the Australian Open qualifiers on Wednesday, defeating Germany's Tamara Korpatsch 6-3, 6-3. With 20 winners and dominant serves, she’s now just one victory away from her first-ever Grand Slam main draw appearance.
🔥 Wei’s showdown against Serbia’s Nina Stojanovic on Thursday could make her the latest Chinese player to break through at Melbourne Park. Last year, she fell in the same qualifying round – but this time, fans are betting on her killer backhand and 63% service points won to seal the deal.
Meanwhile, teammate Gao Xinyu faced heartbreak in her qualifier 😢. After pushing Croatia’s Petra Martic to a grueling 3-hour match, the United Cup quarterfinalist narrowly lost 6-4 in the deciding set despite an early lead.
All eyes are now on Wei as she aims to join Chinese tennis icons like Li Na in Grand Slam history. Will she ace her final qualifying round? 🎾💥
