Comeback Queen: Wang’s Gritty Win
Wang Xinyu delivered a thrilling comeback at the #USOpen, battling from a set down to defeat Australia’s Arina Rodionova 3-6, 6-4, 6-1! The 22-year-old Chinese star fought hard after dropping the first set, turning the tide with aggressive play in the second and dominating the third. When Rodionova’s stamina faded, Wang pounced, sealing victory with a final hold of serve.
Mixed Day for Chinese Players
It wasn’t all sunshine for Team China : Wang Qiang fell to 16th-seeded Liudmila Samsonova, while Zhang Shuai’s singles slump extended to 23 matches. Zheng Saisai also exited early. But Wang Xinyu’s win keeps the flag flying high!
