Zhitong Jiangwang - Eight Women's Generals Compete...
On the fifth competition day of Jiangwang, the fierce competition of eight female players was particularly eye-catching. In six matches, there were a total of seven or four sets and ten or two sets. The average duration of a single game exceeded two hours, with a maximum duration of 2:53 minutes and a minimum duration of 1:25 minutes. The competition is intense, let's come together
The third game of the Central Stadium was played between 3rd seeded Magda Linat and 5th seeded Rebecca Peterson. The two of them fought for three sets, setting the current longest time record for a river net game with 2 hours and 53 minutes. Peterson narrowly defeated his opponent in the decisive set and advanced to the quarter finals.
The last match between Linat and Peterson was in WTA Strasbourg on May 19. Peterson won in two consecutive games when he lost in the first set tiebreaker. They met again in the Battle of the Top 4 of Jiangwang, and their battle was still very exciting.
In the first set of the game, Peterson won 6-3 in just 34 minutes, taking the lead. Afterwards, the game was fought repeatedly until the third set and the seventh inning was snatched. After grabbing seven innings, the two of them fought until a small score of 5:5, and Peterson scored two points in a row to eliminate his opponent, ending the longest "battle" of this year's Jiangwang.
At the post match press conference, Peterson talked about his views on this game: Today Nanchang is very stuffy and hot, and I am not very able to adapt to the weather today. Linat's performance this game was excellent, and I had to respond to the pressure she gave me by actively running. Sports competitions are always difficult, and as a professional player, dealing with so many rounds of promotion and elimination matches is also a common occurrence in military. I need to constantly motivate myself to move forward in adversity, and this game was played very happily
Returning from a stable position, an old hero is still a strong man, not arrogant or impatient, pointing straight at the three crown throne
Although the outfield seats were relatively rudimentary, they were already fully booked at the start of the game, allowing the duo to fully enjoy their home advantage. At the beginning, the two of them cooperated harmoniously, only taking 28 minutes in the first set to easily defeat the opponent 6-2. Zhang Shuai played well in the night game with the heat removed, and his attack was very strong. However, "Anyi" couldn't easily give up. After losing the first game in the second set, the two of them held their ground and fought back. They both broke in the third and sixth innings, pushing the pressure back to the double marshals. The two teams engaged in a close battle in the second set, reaching the seventh goal. However, due to Peng Shuai's excessive physical exertion in singles before this, he was purposefully targeted by the "Anyi" combination. In the end, he missed the second set victory with a score of 6:7, and the game was dragged into a more difficult ten game. Faced with the high morale of the "Anyi" team, the "Shuangshuai" team demonstrated admirable willpower, fighting for every ball, never giving up, winning ten games with a 7-point advantage, and enjoying the high moments.
In fact, we didn't have much tactical foreshadowing in the future. The main thing was to grit our teeth and persevere, just to see who can withstand it. "In response to his previous withdrawal from the match, Zhang Shuai expressed his gratitude for the recovery of his doubles form at the post match press conference. I also hope that after taking a break, they can go all out to meet defending champion Tang Qianhui in the semi-finals and not lose their original intention.
