Double Handsome Strong Advance to the Finals
On the night of the semi-finals of Jiangwang on September 14th, the "Shuangshuai" team made their debut at the Central Stadium to face Jiang Xinying and Tang Qianhui, who have won the Jiangwang doubles championship for two years in a row. The entire game had a tight pace, with the "Double Handsome" combination winning quickly and securing a spot in the final with a score of 2-0 in just 58 minutes.
Peng Shuai's form remained stable after a fierce afternoon battle, with the two of them quickly cutting through the chaos in the first set, taking one minute. But in the second inning, Zhang Shuai accidentally slipped and couldn't stand up. When the whole audience was nervous about her, Zhang Shuai disregarded the pain and immediately joined the competition after a brief medical treatment. Her professional spirit received thunderous applause from the whole audience.
The two have already honed in quite well in their doubles cooperation in the past two days. When Peng Shuai didn't have time to catch the ball in the fifth inning of the first set, Zhang Shuai immediately took over and counterattacked, defending the score advantage to the death. The "Shudi Shuangshu" couldn't find any opportunities in the serving game of the "Shuangshuai" combination, and even were broken twice by the "Shuangshuai", and the score was not optimistic. The combination of "Shuangshuai" in the second round is unstoppable, and the attack will continue to the end. The "Shu Shu Shu" duo also broke their psychological defense after multiple breaks in the first set. They made two double mistakes in the second set, but were unable to counterattack, resulting in a complete victory for the duo.
My cooperation with Zhang Shuai is getting better and I believe we will get better and better, "said Zhang Shuai in a post match press conference about playing doubles with Peng Shuai. For the doubles final on the 15th, getting better and better is also the best wish for them.
Lebakina quickly advanced to the final, Peng Shuai's singles were still proud despite being defeated
The second match at the Central Stadium was played between the highly anticipated Peng Shuai and the fourth seeded Irina Lebakina of the game. Veteran Peng Shuai was slightly inferior to young player Lebakina, losing 1:2 to the semifinals, but he was still proud of his defeat.
Before the start of the game, Peng Shuai had just entered the audience and cheers were already ringing in waves. At the beginning of the game, Lebakina launched a swift attack, serving at a speed of never less than 170km/h, for three consecutive innings. Afterwards, the audience cheered and cheered for Peng Shuai among the games. Peng Shuai lived up to expectations in this game and took the lead, winning the game directly with the inner corner Ace. Although the two were difficult to separate in the sixth and seventh innings, alternating several times to take the lead, Lebakina's scoring advantage was already very clear, winning the first set 6-1.
In the second set, Peng Shuai adjusted his form and staged a major reversal by pulling and releasing small balls from the baseline, bringing hope to the audience on site. After winning two consecutive games, Peng Shuai quickly gave Ace to win another game. Afterwards, although Lebakina counterattacked, Peng Shuai won the second set with a score of 6-3. The glued state of the game continued until the third set, when Lebakina successfully protected and put Peng Shuai in a desperate situation. Afterwards, Peng Shuai's physical fitness significantly declined and he did not find his best form due to the influence of his knee. Lebakina grew stronger as she fought, winning the third set 6-2 and advancing to the women's singles final. Peng Shuai received respect from the entire audience for his tenacious and hardworking spirit, even though he was defeated, he was still proud.
Peterson crushed his opponent and advanced to the singles final
In 2019, Jiangwang entered the semi-finals of singles, and on the 13th, the fifth seeded Rebecca Peterson, who was struggling, faced the dark horse Nina Stoyanovic of this tournament. Peterson played well and eliminated the opponent 2-0 in just 79 minutes, taking the lead in the singles final.
In the quarter finals, Stoyanovic and Peterson were both in a fierce battle against each other, with both games lasting over 2 hours and 50 minutes. Fortunately, both of them successfully advanced and met in the semi-finals. Before the start of this game, the "dark horse" Stoyanovic wrapped bandages on both his left and right legs, and Peterson also wore ankle protectors to play. The two of them were more or less fighting against injuries in this round of competition.
In the first set of the game, Peterson took the lead with a score of 4-0, and Stoyanovic resisted stubbornly, but failed to save the situation. He conceded a set with a score of 3-6. At the beginning of the second set, Stoyanovich successfully secured a lead and Peterson, who was in form, showed a strong performance in the following matches. He eliminated the "dark horse" Stoyanovic 6-1 in straight sets and advanced to the singles final.
It is worth noting that in this game, Stoyanovic called the medical services of the match in the first set, and then applied for a medical suspension to return to the dressing room for further processing. After returning to the field, she received applause from the audience, but due to her injury, she was unable to continue the strong momentum in the previous rounds of the game. In the second set, she sent out the serve multiple times due to double errors, and also made a mistake in the baseline match against Peterson. In the end, she lost to the semi-finals, regretfully ending her current trip to the Jiang Nets.
