The 2024 Wimbledon main draw ushered in the first day of competition. On this day, the "Chinese Legion" made a history of 9 players, and it can be said that there are Chinese players playing almost every minute, which is really painful and happy.
In the first 5 matches by Chinese players, the "Chinese Legion" played normally, with 3 wins and 2 losses. Among them, Zhu Lin opened a big "good start" for the "Chinese Army", winning 8 games in a row, slapping the odds in the face, and sending eggs to advance; Shang Juncheng and Zhang Zhizhen followed, and the two joined forces to create 3 new achievements in Chinese mainland men's tennis:
- Shang Juncheng: Won the first Wimbledon win in Chinese mainland's men's tennis;
- Zhang Zhizhen: Unlock a new record of the top 64 of a career Grand Slam
It's a pity that the "second sister of China" Yuan Yue fell in the first round, and Zhang Shuai swallowed eggs after losing 7 games in a row, setting the longest record of 21 consecutive defeats on the tour, which is embarrassing.
Chinese players' first round report (completed):
- Zhu Lin 6-0, 6-4 Begu
- Shang Juncheng 7-5, 6-4, 6-4 Garin
- Zhang Zhizhen 7-6(4), 6-3, 6-2 Weiye (NO.225)
- YUAN YUE 2-6, 4-6 RUTH (NO.55)
- Zhang Shuai 3-6, 0-6 Kasatkina
Sabalenka withdrew, and Zheng Qinwen welcomed the wealth again
Zheng Qinwen, the "first sister" who has attracted much attention, was postponed due to the change of venue and was moved to Court 3.
Although the match was not played, Zheng Qinwen has already ushered in a major upside, as the top seed in her 3/4 zone, and the top 8 seed, world No. 3 Sabalenka, withdrew due to a shoulder injury. Although Sabalenka had said before the game that her body had not recovered to 100% and that she might retire at any time, this news was really solid, and it was still a bit surprising and disappointing.
After all, on grass, the heavyweight Sabalenka actually has an advantage.
In addition, another seeded player in the same half, Alexandrova (No.22), also retired due to injury. In other words, before the game started, this half of the district has been automatically reduced by 2 people. I'm afraid there's no better way to get lucky, right?
Okay, for Zheng Qinwen, another splash of wealth is in front of her, and she has become the biggest seed player in this half. The rest of the seeds in the same zone are Pavlyuchenkova (No. 26) + Sakkari (No. 9 seed).
Another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of us, and we must catch it properly!
The first seed to be eliminated is generated
So far, overall, this French Open is still very stable, and the seeded players have basically passed easily. The only upset came in the first round of the Men's Singles, when a resurgent Shapovalov knocked out 19th seed Jarry 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 to reach the second round.
Of course, if you want to say that it is not cold, it is actually not cold. After all, Shapovalov's highest ranking has been in the top 10 in the world, and in 2021 he lost to Djokovic to reach the last four.
In addition, No. 18 seed Báez lost to Brandon Nakashima 2-6, 3-6, 4-6 and was out of the tournament!

In the first round of the Women's Singles, No. 9 seed Sakkari defeated Kessler 6-3, 6-1;
