The draw for the 2024 Wimbledon Open tennis tournament was held this afternoon, and the first round of Chinese players was generally good, but there were also hidden murderous opportunities.
In women's singles, Zheng Qinwen, the "first sister" who played as the No. 8 seed, has received all kinds of good signs, and before the quarterfinals, the potential opponents on the way to promotion are all defeated by her subordinates. However, the big seed in the last eight is Sabalenka, which is a bit insurmountable.
In the first round of the matchup, only Zhang Shuai and Wang Qiang, who played through ranking protection, met seeded players against No. 14 seed Kasatkina and No. 19 seed Navarro respectively. In the rest of the games, except for Wang Xiyu's opponent, who was relatively difficult to play, everyone else had a chance.
In the men's singles, although Zhang Zhizhen and Shang Juncheng both drew qualifying players, Xiao Shang's opponent was not unknown. It is the top 8 players at Wimbledon in 2022, which can be described as invisible killers. And Zhang Zhizhen's potential counterpoint big seed is Medvedev, which is really narrow.
The first round of matches between Chinese players
- 【8】郑钦文 vs 孙璐璐【Q】
- Yuan Yue vs Ruth
- Wang Xinyu vs Tomova
- Wang Xiyu vs Vekic
- Zhu Lin vs Begu
- Wang Yafan vs Schmiedlova
- Bai Zhuoxuan vs Dart
- Zhang Shuai vs Kasatkina【14】
- Wang Qiang vs Navarro【19】
- Zhang Zhizhen vs Jean Will【Q】
- Shang Juncheng vs Garin【Q】
【8】郑钦文 vs 孙璐璐【Q】
- World ranking: 8 - 123
- Head-to-head record: None
Zheng Qinwen's first-round opponent, Sun Lulu, is a Chinese player who was still a good friend who trained with Wang Xiyu when he was young. Although the record against Chinese players is 8 wins and 2 losses, all the winners are second- and third-tier players, and these players in the top 100 have not even played against each other.
The second-round opponent was the winner between Van Uvancks and qualifier Taro Dubtseva, and against two unknown players, Zheng Qinwen should not be able to capsize in the gutter.
Potential opponents in the third round are Pavlyuchenkova or Zhu Lin, and in the fourth round, Sakkari or Raducanu may meet, judging from the head-to-head record, these players have basically been defeated by Zheng Qinwen, as long as they play normally, Zheng Qinwen is fully capable of going straight to the top 8.
Then, fight Sabalenka again!
Yuan Yue vs Ruth
- World ranking: 38 - 55
- Head-to-head record: None
The two have never played each other before, with Ruth having a 14-7 record against Chinese players, beating Wang Xiyu X2, Wang Xiyu, Zhu Lin and Zhang Shuai respectively, but that was at least two years ago. The three stops of the grass warm-up cyrus are all "one round tour", and Yuan Yue has a chance.
If he can pass the test, Yuan Yue will face Sakkari in the second round, and the record is 0-2.
Wang Xinyu vs Tomova
- World ranking: 40 - 58
- Head-to-head record: 3-1
The two have played each other four times before, and Wang Xinyu is in the midst of a wave of three consecutive wins. This fight will be the first time the two have met on the grass. At the WTA 500 Bad Homburg station this week, Tomova reached the top 4, and in the last round, she fought hard to save 5 match points in 3 sets.
The winner between the fifth seeds Pegula and Kruger, a potential second-round opponent.
Wang Xiyu vs Vekic
- World ranking: 51 - 49
- Head to head: 1-0
Two years ago, at the WTA 250 Washington Station, Wang Xiyu defeated his opponent 2-1. Of course, Wang Xiyu's game is to open a blind box, and the victory or defeat depends on whether he is stupid. The good news is that Vekic is out injured this week, but perhaps it will be just a smokescreen.
If she can get through, a potential opponent in the second round is Sabalenka. This is very exciting, after all, Wang Xiyu has the possibility of winning whoever fights, mainly depending on the mood.
Zhu Lin vs Begu
- World ranking: 51 - 49
- Head-to-head record: 0-1
In the first round of the French Open 5 years ago, Zhu Lin was swept by her opponent 1-6 in the first round. This season, Zhu Lin is in mediocre form, and has only one win in the grass warm-up match, and has suffered a wave of 6 consecutive singles defeats.
If she can get through, the second-round opponent will be the winner between No. 25 seeds Pavlyuchenkova and Townsend, and it is not Zhu Lin's advantage to beat a fierce woman. Of course, if you can get through the upset, look forward to the showdown with Zheng Qinwen again!
Wang Yafan vs Schmiedlova
- World ranking: 72 - 77
- Head-to-head record: 3-1
Playing Schmidlova, Wang Yafan still has experience, and it is also a wave of three consecutive wins. This year, the second round in Hua Hin was also 2-0.
A potential second-round opponent, No. 12 seed American Keys.
Bai Zhuoxuan vs Dart
- World ranking: 92 - 105
- Head-to-head record: None
The Briton was fierce on the grass and beat former Grand Slam champion Kenin in the second round of the WTA 500 Eastbourne last time.
At Wimbledon last year, Bai Zhuoxuan entered the second round from qualification, can such a miracle be replicated this year? If you pass the test, the opponent in the second round is likely to be "British First Sister" Usain Bolt.
Zhang Shuai vs Kasatkina【14】
- World ranking: 677 - 14
- Head-to-head record: None
can only say, Zhang Shuai, it's good to be happy, 21 consecutive defeats are already on the way.
Wang Qiang vs Navarro【19】
- World ranking: 477 - 19
- Head-to-head record: None
Navarro's form this year is very fierce, Wang Qiang has not long returned, and it is still at the level of the ITF.
Zhang Zhizhen vs Jean Will【Q】
- World ranking: 33 - 225
- Head-to-head record: None
If he can play at the top 4 level in Halle, Zhang Zhizhen should not be able to win the first victory in the Wimbledon main draw. After all, Jean Will is only at the level of a challenger, and this is the fourth time in his career that he has participated in a Grand Slam and made his Wimbledon debut. Being able to break through from the qualifying rounds has made Vir complete the task.
However, in the second round, Struff and Mao Luoran are not good at stubble, and if they want to snatch a win from these two, Zhang Zhizhen must take it seriously and play at his best level to pass. In the third round, Medvedev and Zhang Zhizhen have just won against their opponents, but they still want to continue to win in the Grand Slam, which is a little more difficult.
Shang Juncheng vs Garin【Q】
- World ranking: 104 - 111
- Head-to-head record: None
Although the opponent is only a qualifier, he is the top 8 players of the tournament in 2022. Of course, the type of court that opponents are more comfortable with is clay, and at ATP 250 Eastbourne, Xiao Shang reached the quarterfinals of his first career grass court tournament, and his agile and versatile style of play is more similar to Garin's.
If they can get through, the second-round opponent will be the winner between 10th seeds Dimitrov and Lajovic.
