Looking Forward to the Competition - The "Shuai Sh...

Can Peng Shuai VS Zhu Lin and Peng Jie avenge Zhang Shuai?
On September 13th, Peng Shuai and Zhu Lin, who both advanced yesterday, will face off in their second match at the Central Stadium. In the second round of singles, Zhang Shuai, who was knocked out last year, failed to stage a "revenge battle" against Zhu Lin. In the first set, Zhu Lin performed excellently and swept the opponent 6-0, breaking Zhang Shuai's serve in the first set of the second set. Subsequently, Zhang Shuai withdrew from the competition and Zhu Lin advanced accordingly. Due to the opponent's withdrawal from the game, Zhu Lin had a hint of "winning without a fight" in this game, but her performance in the first set was indeed extremely strong. It is worth looking forward to whether the match with Peng Shuai can continue her strong performance.
Peng Shuai fell into a bitter battle in the second round against Priskova, and it took three sets to determine the winner. Peng Shuai won the first game with a score of 6-3 in the first set, but in the second set, Priskova, who had found her form, swept and equalized with a score of 6-0. Entering the decisive set, the two of them ended the game with a score of 4-4, and Priskova ended the serve with a double error. Peng Shuai's winning situation was very good. In the serve winning game, Peng Shuai eliminated his opponent 40:15 and advanced to the quarter finals with Zhu Lin.
With the regretful retirement of the first seeded Zhang Shuai, the "Battle of Revenge" has also been interrupted, but her "Peng Jie" will meet Zhu Lin in the quarter finals. Peng Shuai, who has been in a difficult battle, has expended a lot of physical energy today. Facing his "fierce" opponent Zhu Lin, whether she can successfully "avenge" Zhang Shuai is one of the highlights of tomorrow.

 

The "Shuai Shuai Combination" Fight Again in the Second Round, Zhang Shuai Continues the Journey to Jiangwang
On September 11th, the "Shuai Shuai" team made their debut at Jiangwang, winning two consecutive sets and advancing smoothly, with great momentum. The "Shuai Shuai" duo will face Ankita Rena (India) and Eden Silva (UK) in their final match at outfield 1 on September 13th, competing for the quarterfinals spot.
There was no record of a match between the two sides before this. The Rena/Silva duo won the first round of elimination matches with a score of 6-3. Although the "Shuai Shuai" duo also won 2-0, they managed to score 7 in the first set. On the 12th of the tournament, Zhang Shuai was suspected of retiring due to heatstroke and ended the singles schedule early. She had more energy to prepare for doubles, but her recovery was also one of the important reasons determining the competition situation.
Peng Shuai, who fell into a difficult battle on the 12th, had a three set battle with her opponent before deciding the winner. The physical exertion was a significant test of her recovery ability. At the same time, we also noticed that before the start of doubles, Peng Jie had a singles match with Zhu Lin, and Peng Jie's physical exhaustion would also affect the performance of the "handsome" combination.

 

Wang Xinyu/Zhu Lin VS Dalira Yakupovich/Jessica Moore
Compared to the eye-catching "handsome" combination and defending champions Tang Qianhui/Jiang Xinying, the performance of another group of doubles players, Wang Xinyu/Zhu Lin, who broke through the tight encirclement, surprised fans even more.
In the recently concluded US Open competition, Zhu Lin completely defeated Wang Xinyu as her opponent. In this year's Jiang Wang Open doubles competition, the two not only reversed their opponent's relationship as partners, but also advanced to the semifinals by defeating the North American team after each single game consumed their energy. Next, they will face the combination of Dalila Yakupovich and Jessica Moore. Jessica Moore is the third seed in singles at the tournament, with strong strength and extensive experience in doubles competitions. Her partner Yakupovich also won the doubles championship at the 2018 Kunming Open. It is worth noting that the two have never collaborated before, and the tacit understanding of this pairing is worth noting. It remains to be seen whether the two Chinese flowers advanced to the final or stopped in the semi-finals.

 

3rd and 5th seeds compete for the top four
5th seeded Swedish player Rebecca Peterson and 3rd seeded Polish player Margda Linat competed for the women's singles quarter finals at the Central Stadium. The two players currently rank 52nd and 45th in the WTA world singles rankings, with similar strength.
On the 11th, Chinese Golden Flower Liu Fangzhou faced Polish Butterfly Rinat, losing in 58 minutes. Linat, who has high-quality services, not only easily ensures his serve, but also has the ability to break and make quick decisions. Swede Peterson struggled against Yana Fett, who broke through from the qualifying round, and the two players struggled in the game. Peterson even made a double error, but he grabbed seven in the first set. Peterson turned the tide and won the second set with great momentum.
Peterson mentioned his left ankle injury in a press conference on the 11th, stating that due to the injury, he had some reservations in the match against his opponent. On the 13th, whether she can fully unleash her firepower against the slightly stronger Polish butterfly Rinat is crucial for her ankle recovery.
