Wang Xiyu kicked off her campaign with a stunning victory against Austria's Julia Grabher, winning 6-1, 7-5 in the first round. This win marks her first triumph at Rod Laver Arena in three years, setting the stage for her next match against the USA's Emma Navarro.
In another impressive display, Wang Yafan came from a set down to defeat Hungary's Anna Bondar 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Wang's resilience secured her a spot in the second round for the second consecutive year, and she will now face Russian ninth seed Daria Kasatkina.
On the men's side, the journey wasn't as smooth. Zhang Zhizhen, China's top-ranked male player, was ousted in a tough five-set match against 13th seed Holger Rune, ending in a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 defeat. Meanwhile, Shang Juncheng had to withdraw from his match due to injury, marking an early exit for all Chinese male players.
