Third, after entering the deciding set, Wang Xinyu once led 5-0, only 2 points away from winning the game, but then Alexandrova scored 6 points in a row to overtake, and at the most critical moment, Wang Xinyu scored consecutive points to overtake 7-6, and Alexandrova's mentality collapsed, and directly sent a double fault, Wang Xinyu fought for a few hours to win!
Wang Xinyu has already reached the top 4 of the Wuhan Open in advance, and if Zheng Qinwen defeats Paulini next, the two Chinese golden flowers will meet in the semifinals.
