Hits: Release Time:2017-07-24 20:50:00

On July 24th, Beijing time, the WTA International Tour Jiangxi Open tournament officially kicked off. The first round of the tournament will continue tomorrow, with defending champion Duan Yingying, popular star and former world number one player Yankovic making their debut. Wang Yafan, Lu Jingjing, and Zhu Lin will also make their debut. Here are the highlights of the second day of the tournament.


The central court starts at 17:00


Duan Yingying VS Rodionova


This year's Jiangxi tournament is a brand new experience for Duan Yingying, as it is her first time defending her title in a WTA tournament. As the 5th seed of the tournament, her first round opponent was Australian Rodeo Nova. The two had played against each other three times before, and Duan Yingying withdrew due to injury in her first match. The remaining two games were both a tough three set battle, both of which took place this year. Therefore, she will have a certain psychological advantage as long as she manages the pressure of scoring well, Duan Yingying should not be a problem passing the exam.


Yankovich VS Kangjiaqi


Yankovic was the champion of the 2015 Jiangxi Tournament. She has achieved good results in many places in China and is also one of the famous players who are willing to come to China to participate. This season, Yankovic's form is not good, having suffered five consecutive losses on the tour, and she has been eliminated in the first round of French Open and Wimbledon. This time she came to Nanchang, hoping to regain her form. Her first round opponent is Kang Jiaqi, a qualified athlete from China, Whether in terms of experience or strength, Yangke still needs to excel. I believe that passing the exam is not a problem, and what Kang Jiaqi needs to do is to focus on hard work and learning, striving to showcase herself in front of her previous sister.


Kato Meiyou/Ribi Yecai Xu VS Zeliu Lizi/Wavy Junli


Stadium 1 starts at 17:00


Wang Yafan vs Kato Meiyou


Wang Yafan has been plagued by injuries and illnesses, and has hardly played this year. Her ranking has also declined significantly. Recently, she also withdrew from the Wimbledon qualifiers due to injuries. However, in last week's Tianjin 25K competition, she overcame all the obstacles and ultimately swept Zhu Lin to win the championship, showing some recovery in her form. She played with a wild card in the Jiangxi tournament and has been competing in the Jiangxi tournament for four consecutive years. In the first round, her opponent was Japanese player Kato Meiyou, and Wang Yafan ranked higher than her opponent. She also won in her only previous match. As long as she continues her form in the Tianjin tournament and adjusts to the fatigue caused by fatigue, she should be able to pass the level just after returning.


Zhu Lin VS Wei Qili Sha


Zhu Lin's form has fluctuated this year, with good performance in the Australian Open and Taipei matches, and later falling into a situation of losing more than winning less. However, her form has recently rebounded again, winning the heaviest championship of her career in the 60K competition in Lu'an at the end of May. Last month, she led Anhui to participate in the team stage of the National Games, and then made it to the qualifying round at Wimbledon. Last weekend, she won the runner up in the 25K competition in Tianjin. She has made it to the second round of her two appearances in the Jiangxi tournament, but this time facing the 8th seeded tail Qilisha can be considered a difficult challenge. The two faced each other four years ago, and Zhu Lin was defeated. This time, she will strive to avenge at home.


Stadium 2 starts at 17:00


Dias VS Lu Jingjing


Lu Jingjing has been performing well recently, winning the championship in the Neyman 25K competition two weeks ago and her first championship since her comeback. Last week, the Tianjin 25K team stopped in the quarterfinals and went to Nanchang to continue winning two consecutive qualifying matches. She has advanced to the tournament for two consecutive years, competing against former Asian top sister Dias. This is the first time a Kazakh has come to the Jiangxi tournament. After recovering from injury, Dias has competed in many ITF events in China and achieved good results, Wimbledon has even advanced to the third round, and in terms of overall strength, Dias is superior, but Lu Jingjing's form is also very hot, and this will be a game of five to five.


Lu Jingjing/You Xiaodi VS Kake/Lijina


Lu Jingjing won the women's doubles championship last year in Jiangxi with Liang Chen. This year, her partner was changed to You Xiaodi, who also has great experience in doubles. The two non seeded teams met, and as long as Chinese Xiaohua played a tacit understanding and enjoyed home advantage, there is still great hope of advancing.


Stadium 3 starts at 17:00


Liang Chen/Ye Qiuyu vs Zhang Kaizhen/Xiuzi Aoyama


Liang Chen is a good doubles player and also the champion of last year's Jiangxi doubles tournament. At that time, her partner was Lu Jingjing, but her doubles record has decreased this year. Facing the second seed in the competition, only with hard work can she hope to advance to the second round.


Sun Xuliu/Zheng Wu Shuang VS Ergong Zhenqin/Takahata Qinmei


The Chinese Little Flower team is playing with a wild card to challenge the women's doubles number three seeded Japanese team, and it is difficult to say how easy it is to pass the level.
