The WTA International Tour Jiangxi Open tennis tournament will start a semi-final match on Saturday, with Wang Yafan in the upper half VS Ribi Nokaixu, and Peng Shuai vs Han Xinyun in the lower half. For the first time, three players from Chinese Mainland have entered the top four of the WTA Tour. The semi-final is on Saturday. I hope local fans can go to the scene to watch the game and cheer for the Chinese players. Here are the highlights of the semi-finals.

Starting at 17:00 on the central court: Wang Yafan vs Ribi Yecai Xu

Wang Yafan, who plays with a wild card, is in excellent form in Jiangxi, continuing her momentum of winning the 25K championship in Tianjin. She has won three consecutive games here and then entered the semi-finals of the tour after three years. Since her comeback, she has achieved nine consecutive wins and has recently given away two consecutive games. Her confidence and form are in their best state.

Her opponent, Yoshino Nokai, was very lucky. In the second round, she received the retirement gift from the third seeded Kopuva and then swept Lu Jingjing to enter the quarter finals. Although Yoshino Nokai played in one round in all three Grand Slam tournaments this year, she still couldn't be underestimated, especially in hard courts, which she was more adept at. She made all three tour finals on hard courts, including winning one championship and one Asian championship in Tashkent and runner up in Malaysia this year.

The two had a previous encounter, but it happened five years ago, on the grass, with little reference value. The strength and experience of the Japanese wild vegetable were higher than that of Wang Yafan, and in the quarter finals, Wang Yafan's thigh was wrapped in a thick bandage. It can be seen that the continuous battle had already sent a warning signal, but she has reached a critical point in her career breakthrough. She hopes to put aside her distractions and maintain a calm mindset, and use her resilience to fight against the opponent with all her strength, Only in this way can we have a greater chance of advancing to the finals.

Peng Shuai vs Han Xinyun

Peng Shuai did not go very smoothly in Nanchang, but ultimately made it to the quarter finals. As the only remaining seed player, she was considered the biggest favorite for the championship. In the quarter finals against Zhu Lin, she exposed her weakness of slow heat and almost lost the first set, which is also one of her hidden dangers.

Han Xinyun played as a non seeded player. After saving the match point and defeating Wang Qiang in the second round, he also defeated Rodeo Nova's comeback in two sets in the quarter finals. He made it to the semi-finals of the tour for the second time in his career after the Malaysia match at the beginning of the year. Han Xinyun had previously stated that he was not afraid of high temperatures and his form was becoming increasingly outstanding.

The two had a previous encounter, which happened to be in the Jiangxi competition three years ago, when Peng Shuai swept and won the championship. How would the script be written for this time? In terms of strength and experience, Peng Shuai is clearly the more favored side, but considering her own hidden dangers, Han Xinyun is not without a chance. It all depends on who wins on the spot. Regardless, it ensures that there is at least one Chinese player in the final of the Jiangxi tournament. Fans should also relax and appreciate, cheering for both sides.

Stadium 1 no earlier than 18:00:

Yoshino Uesuki/Kato Miyou VS Kudriavtseva/Rodionova

The women's doubles semi-finals will be held after players take a short break after their singles, and their winners will compete for the championship with Chinese flower duo Jiang Xinyu/Tang Qianhui.
