Wimbledon 2024 matchday 5 is underway, and the first batch of top 16 players will be determined in the upper half of men's singles + lower half of women's singles.
In the tournament that has ended, last week's WTA 500 Eastbourne champion No. 14 seed Kasatkina was upset and also paused to catch up with Zheng Qinwen; No. 7 seed Paulini won a B and reached the round of 16 of Wimbledon for the first time in her career, leaving Zheng Qinwen behind.
Today, only Zhu Lin played in the "Chinese Legion", and as a result, the dark horse of the qualifying tournament, the Chinese girl Sun Lulu, did not even give Zhu Lin a chance to write the screenplay, and the two tie-breaks took away the game!
It's a pity that at this point, only Wang Xinyu is still in the singles draw table of the 11-member "Chinese Legion". This is the case, we can only pray that Wang Xinyu can replicate the magic of beating the world No. 5 Pegula yesterday and enter the second week, at least give our Chinese fans a reason to continue watching the game!
Zhu Lin 0-2 Sun Lulu
6-7 (4), 6-7 (6), after missing two set points, Zhu Lin lost 0-2 to qualifier Sun Lulu and missed her best record in the round of 16 of the Grand Slam.
Sun Lulu, who is half of Chinese ancestry, made a major breakthrough in her career, not only winning 6 consecutive matches to reach the round of 16 of a Grand Slam for the first time, but also soaring 50 places in the world ranking to No. 73, becoming the biggest dark horse of this Wimbledon so far!
In today's game, Sun Lulu played very decisively, without pressure and baggage, and fought for herself with her super scoring ability, from a "small transparent" to a "big dark horse". Serve, forehand, backhand, Sun Lulu has no obvious weaknesses. Suddenly I wanted to call her childhood friend Wang Xiyu, and this year at the Billy Jane Gold Cup, Wang Xiyu finished Sun Lulu.
With 43 winning points in the game, Sun Lulu won the most important tournament in her life so far with a high-risk and high-reward hitting method. refuses to be a paving worker, will Sun Lulu, who got Zheng Qinwen's TOP8 seed script, be black to the end?
On the other hand, Zhu Lin, in fact, in her perennial expressiveness in her style of play, this game can be regarded as a good performance. Sun Lulu was so fierce, but in fact, she only won 3 points in the end, and Zhu Lin lost in the grasp of the key points, and only grasped 3 of the 18 break points, which is really a pity.
Well, a brief review of this Chinese girl's multicultural background, she deserves a resume!
His father is Croatian, his mother is from Jiangxi, he was born in New Zealand, grew up in Switzerland, and attended college at the University of Texas at Austin, USA. She has just transferred from Switzerland to New Zealand this year, and she is the current "New Zealand First Sister" and has successfully qualified for this year's Olympic Games.
Sun Lulu has opened multiple social media accounts on multiple Chinese social media slips and is gaining a large number of Chinese fans.
Paulini reached the last 16 of Wimbledon for the first time
No.7 seed Paulini defeated former US Open champion Andreescu 7-6(4), 6-1 to win her second week at the French Open and reach the last 16 of Wimbledon for the first time in her career
This season, Paulini has a 27-12 winning percentage of 69%. The round of 16 of the Australian Open, the runner-up of the French Open, the round of 16 of Wimbledon, and the champion of the WTA1000 Dubai station, Paulini is so stable that it makes people feel terrifying.
At present, Paulini's WTA points have reached 4458 points, 403 points behind Zheng Qinwen, and only 207 points away from the world's No. 5 Pegula, but it is just a victory!
In the next round, Paulini's opponent will be No. 12 seed Keys, who defeated No. 18 seed Kostyuk 6-4, 6-3 to reach the second week of Wimbledon for the fifth time in her career.
I think of the tears of grievance when I lost 1-2 to Zheng Qinwen in the final of the WTP250 Palermo last year and was the runner-up, it turns out that as long as it is strong enough, the tears will bloom!
And Zheng Qinwen, the former champion player, seems to be losing himself more and more in the balance between business activities and competition results!
Kasatkina 1-2 Badosa
Kasatkina, the No.14 seed who had just won the WTA 500 Eastbourne tournament, was beaten by Spanish beauty Badosa after leading 4-2 in the deciding set, and finally went out 6(6)-7, 6-4, 4-6, ending a seven-game winning streak on grass.
Badosa is in the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time in two years, and this is also her third Wimbledon round of 16 in the last four years!
As a result, Kasatkina paused the pace of catching up with Zheng Qinwen, and immediately ranked No.10, Zheng Qinwen is temporarily safe!
Navarro 2-1 Schneider
No.19 seed Emma Navarro came back 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 to avenge last week's WTA 500 Bad Homburg champion Schneider, ending the latter's seven-game winning streak on grass and reaching the second week of two consecutive Grand Slams and reaching the last 16 of Wimbledon for the first time in her career
Paul 3-0 Bubrick
In the men's singles, 12th seed Paul defeated 23rd seed "Asian First Brother" Bubrik in straight sets 6-3, 6-4, 6-2, and entered the round of 16 for the first time in two years, awaiting the winner of Bautista Agut and Fognini
