Chinese tennis star Wang Ziying just smashed barriers at Wimbledon! 🎉 The No. 4 seed stunned top-seeded Yui Kamiji of Japan 6-3, 6-3 in the women's singles wheelchair final, becoming the first player from the Chinese mainland to claim a Wimbledon singles trophy in wheelchair tennis. 🌍✨
Talk about a glow-up! 🔥 Wang, who had lost eight of her nine previous matches against Kamiji, flipped the script with 55 winners in a nail-biting showdown. The first set alone saw nine deuces in the ninth game—tense doesn’t even cover it! 😮💨
Kamiji, a 10-time Grand Slam champ, was chasing her career Slam, but Wang’s relentless play stole the spotlight. After sealing the win, Wang shared an emotional hug with doubles partner Li Xiaohui. 🥰 Now, they’re teaming up again Sunday for the doubles final against Colombia’s Angelica Bernal and France’s Ksenia Chasteau. 🎾💪
This victory isn’t just a personal milestone—it’s a landmark moment for Chinese tennis. 👏 Who’s ready to see more history this weekend? 🙌
