Today (June 28), the Chinese Tennis Association announced the lineup and list of participants for the Paris Olympics. "First Brother" Zhang Zhizhen and "First Sister" Zheng Qinwen led the shortlists.
Zheng Saisai, who was spoiled by Wang Xinyu's father the day before, really appeared in the list of participants, and the veteran Zhang Shuai, who had previously shouted that he wanted to play for the Olympics, was impressively listed.
As a result, Zhu Lin, who suffered the "Waterloo" of the clay season, lost the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games for the first time, becoming the biggest surprise.
List of Chinese tennis participants in the Paris Olympics
- Man: Zhang Zhizhen
- Women: Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xinyu, Wang Xiyu, Zhang Shuai, Zheng Saisai, Yuan Yue
In fact, there is no suspense in the singles lineup, and in women's singles: Zheng Qinwen, ranked 8th in the world, Yuan Yue ranked 38th, Wang Xinyu ranked 40th, and Wang Xiyu, ranked 51st, are also the top 4 in the Olympic points rankings; Zhang Zhizhen's ranking of 42 and the identity of the champion of the Hangzhou Asian Games were also guaranteed to be shortlisted.
The Women's Doubles list was a bit of a surprise. Last year's French Open women's doubles champion Wang Xinyu and the comeback Zheng Saisai have become more and more tacit since they partnered, and they also won a surprise victory at the WTA 500 Berlin last week.
And the combination of Yuan Yue's partner Zhang Shuai is too imaginative! This is also the 35-year-old Zhang Shuai's second time playing for the country after failing to participate in the Tokyo Olympics after a lapse of 4 years.
Zhang Shuai has a chance because of her 30th-place ranking protection. Although they suffered 20 consecutive defeats in singles, they still had some residual strength in doubles, and although they have been changing partners, they have always won games, and in the WTA 250 Birmingham event, Zhang Shuai/Kato Weiwei reached the final, and finally lost to the world No. 1 Xie Shuwei/Mertens combination, and won the first runner-up since returning from injury.
Yuan Yue has become the only player in the Chinese team who has both singles and doubles. But her doubles level can only be said to be that she can play on the court. Previously, Guo Hanyu, who had a chance, had a bad performance recently and failed to catch the last train.
Of course, whether Zhang Zhizhen and Zheng Qinwen can get a place in the mixed doubles match at the last minute depends on the faces of the other players. Their current joint ranking is just around 16th, and the mixed doubles adopts the method of on-site registration, with only 16 draws, waiting for a surprise.

- Women's Singles: No. 4: Li Na | Beijing 2008 (Zheng Jie: Beijing Top 16)
- Women's Doubles: Champion: Li Ting/Sun Tiantian | Athens 2004 || Bronze Medal: Zheng Jie/Yan Zi | Beijing 2008 (Athens, London: Round of 8)
