Chinese fans have summed up a strange law in the WTA Tour: the law of the meal rose, that is, Zhang Shuai and Wang Qiang, when participating in the game at the same time, the record is always surprisingly close, one person loses, the other will immediately lose, and once one person is high, the other is not far behind.
This so-called "law" was just a joke from the fans from the beginning. The cause is the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, Zhang Shuai and Wang Qiang will be the women's singles final, this Chinese derby is quite explosive, Zhang Shuai expressed dissatisfaction after the loss, fans decided that the two disagreed with each other. And then for a while, the results of the two chased each other, almost synchronously, and this law began to spread among the fans.
Needless to say, this law has been circulating for more than 3 years, and it is still quite accurate. For example, at this year's Australian Open, the two people who had fallen into the downturn almost at the same time recovered at the same time, and both entered the third round. For example, at the 2022 WTA Indian Wells Crown, they lost to qualifiers before the hot one, stopping the first round.
Zhang Shuai, who made the first appearance, was played in the first round against former Russian Gavrilova (now known as Sevier). Although the opponent is only ranked 408th in the world, from the qualifiers, Zhang Shuai, who just won the championship at last week's Lyon station, has no aura, and the whole game is controlled by Savile, and he quickly lost 0-2, with the scores of 3-6 and 2-6 in the two sets.
After Zhang Shuai lost, Wang Qiang failed to break the "Law of Meal Rose" and was out together. Faced with the same baptized as a qualifier who defeated her own Bauzkova in the guadalajara semi-final half a month ago, Wang Qiang wasted a 5-2 lead in the second set and once again hated it 0-2.
After losing the first set 3-6, Wang Qiang took the lead in the second set, and at one point took a 4-1, 5-2 lead. But then, she was in no form, chased by her opponent for 4 consecutive sets, but fell behind 5-6. After breaking the opponent's serve to win the match, Wang Qiang conceded two consecutive points after grabbing seven 5-5, and finally handed over the second set 6 (5)-7.
Coming to the doubles arena, Zhang Shuai and his old friend Stosur teamed up as the No. 2 seed to face the strong singles strength of Koone/Fernandez. As a result, Zhang Shuai/Stosur, who added up to 71 years old, wasted a 6-1 win in the first set and a 4-2 advantage in the second set, and was reversed by the opponent 1-2 to meet the first round.
As a result, China Jinhua has only 1 (pair) player left in the indian wells singles match. In the women's singles, Zheng Qinwen, a 19-year-old girl who has reached the second round alone, will challenge 3 Grand Slam champions Kerber on the 12th Beijing time; in the women's doubles, Xu Yipan / Yang Zhaoxuan will compete with Zhan Haoqing / Linat for the top 8 qualifications.
