On the field, every minute and every second is full of passion and power.
Last night and this morning, the fire of the decisive round of the Wimbledon qualifying tournament was burning, and the Chinese players' 4-in-2 record can be regarded as passing.
It's a pity that Shang Juncheng fell short in the face of the serve cannon and missed the opportunity to advance.
However, the most important thing today is that the draw ceremony for the Wimbledon main draw is about to take place, so let's wait and see if the Chinese players can draw a good draw!
On the stage of the grass court tour, in addition to the outstanding performance of the Chinese generals, what other wonderful plots are being staged? Let's find out!
The smell of gunsmoke on the grass court is blowing in the face, and yesterday's Chinese players had a 2-2 record in the final round of the Wimbledon qualifying tournament, which can be regarded as passable.
Bai Zhuoxuan eliminated his opponent Dias 6-2, 7-5 and continued to gather momentum; Xu Yifan and her partner Danilina stubbornly defeated the Nichols/Parry duo to return to the top 53 in the doubles rankings.
It's a pity that although Shang Juncheng fought his way out of the encirclement, he finally lost to the American brother Fritz 6 (5)-7 and 6 (5)-7 in the double tie-break and stopped in the top 8 and missed the breakthrough.
In fact, Shang Juncheng has already performed well this week, scoring 63 points and about 28,000 euros in prize money, and will jump 13 places to 91 places in the rankings.
Why not? Xu Yifan's good fortune continued to flow, as she and her partner returned to the top 53 in doubles after reaching the semi-finals, and will face Zhan Haoqing/Kudermetova in the next round.
Bai Zhuoxuan reached Wimbledon for the second consecutive year, and she will become the 11th singles player to play for the "Chinese Army" at Wimbledon.
This time China sent the most powerful army in history! Zheng Qinwen is the No. 8 seed in the women's singles, Zhang Zhizhen is the No. 32 seed in the men's singles, plus 9 people including Shang Juncheng and Wang Xiyu in the women's singles, and 2 people in the men's singles, the lineup is so strong that it is staggering! Friends, which Chinese player do you all hope to draw a better signing?
The battle on the field is so fierce, in addition to the powerful Chinese army, other battlefields are also staged a wonderful duel.
The WTA 500 Eastbourne semi-finals line-up has been made: Fernandez vs. Keys and Paolini vs. Kasatkina.
Among them, Paulini won two games in a row, reached the top 4 on grass for the first time in her career, and the point difference will also widen to 173 points ahead of Zheng Qinwen.
Former U.S. Open champion Kasatkina swept Raducanu and reached the semifinals for the second year in a row.
The flames of war on the grass field burned even more fiercely! In the semi-finals of the Bad Homburg WTA 500, third seed Navarro became the final seed.
At 4-6, 6-1, 1-0, her opponent Wozniacki withdrew due to injury, which was a bit of shit luck.
Schneider, on the other hand, beat Bardosa 6-3, 7-6(3) to reach the semi-finals of a grass-court tournament for the first time in his career and a semi-final for the second time this year.
Don't underestimate Blinkova, this girl is a great one-day double! First, they defeated No. 4 seed Maia 6-3, 7-5 and beat the Top 20 players for the third time this year; Although she missed five match points and lost 6-2, 1-6, 6(9)-7 to Tomova, Tomova also reached the final for the first time of the season.
Vekic made the cut after the retirement of defending champion Siniakova, which was a big bargain.
The semi-finals of the ATP 250 Eastbourne were a bit stumbling, except for the top seed Fritz, who relied on a strong serve to knock off Shang Juncheng, and the others were all.
Qualifier Mar Purcell, lucky loser Vukic, and homegrown wildcard Harris, who will have the last laugh?
However, Harris did play the role of a dark horse, and reaching the semi-finals of a tour for the first time in his career was remarkable.
Purcell and Vukic must also have solidify dreams and vow to give it a go!
The semi-finals at ATP 250 Mallorca are much more impressive: veteran Monfils, No.4 seed Tabilo, plus two dark horse qualifiers, Ofner and Jub.
Jubu's breakaway was a big upset, and despite missing three match points at one point, he came back from behind to beat top seed Shelton 7-6(8) to reach the semi-finals.
What a precious opportunity!
epilogue
The smoke of the battles is waiting to be dissipated, and the journey on the court is moving towards the climax of the Wimbledon main event.
All members of the Chinese army are ready to go, gearing up to compete at Wimbledon.
Regardless of the signing, we look forward to them showing their best on the grass court, fully demonstrating the weapons of Chinese players and winning glory for the country! Let's wait and see, waiting for this pinnacle showdown filled with gunsmoke!
