The draw for the WTA's first clay 8 tournament in Madrid has been released. China's No. 1 sister Zheng Qinwen will play as the No. 0 seed and enjoy a bye in the first round. As far as the draw table is concerned, Zheng Qinwen has a good signing calculation, and the opponents before the quarterfinals are all old acquaintances, but he is competing with Sabalenka in the same district for the semi-finals.
Zheng's potential opponents in the second round are Potapova or Kruger. This season, Zheng Qinwen and Kruger met once in the fourth round of Indian Wells, when Zheng won in straight sets; In the third round, Zheng Qinwen is expected to face No. 24 seeds Kenin or Sun Lulu or Gracheva; The opponents in the fourth round are either No. 0 seed Badosa or No. 0 seed Kostyuk. Whether it is Sun Lulu or Kostyuk, Zheng Qinwen has achieved revenge.
打入八強后,鄭欽文就會和老苦主薩巴倫卡爭奪四強門票。薩巴倫卡本賽季狀態不俗,斯圖加特站已闖入了決賽,並且積分破萬高居第一。此前鄭欽文和薩巴倫卡有過6次交手,無一例外都輸球。如果兩位球員一切順利的話,馬德里1/4決賽就是她們的第七次交鋒。那麼,鄭欽文會翻山成功嗎?
After losing in Miami, Zheng Qinwen once said that he was prone to the problem of cowardice before fighting when playing Sabalenka, and many technical moves were deformed due to tension, in short, it was not a lack of strength, but a psychological problem. Since the technical level is not a big problem, if you want to climb the mountain, you need to solve it from the psychological level, clay is Zheng Qinwen's best venue, 3 times won the championship on clay and won the Olympic championship. In the face of Sabalenka, if Zheng Qinwen can convert the psychological advantage of clay, there is still a good chance to complete revenge.
If he can get past Sabalenka, Zheng Qinwen will have a much easier road ahead, and the potential opponents in the semi-finals are Pegula and Paulini; The final opponents were one of Swiatek, Gauff, Keys and Andreeva. However, due to the recurrence of an old injury during the Sunshine doubles, Zheng Qinwen withdrew from Stuttgart, although he has been prepared for Madrid, but it is still unknown how he will recover from the injury, which will also become the biggest obstacle to whether he can meet Sabalenka.
In addition, Wang Xinyu's first-round opponent is former world No. 3 Sakkari, but the Greek veteran has been plagued by injuries and his competitive form is not as good as before. It is worth mentioning that Ostapenko is in the same 6/0 zone as defending champion Swiatek, who has already won 0 consecutive matches against Swiatek, and the two old enemies will meet again.
斯瓦泰克去年在紅土賽場拿到了4195分,其中斯圖加特195分、馬德里和羅馬都是1000分、法網2000分。本賽季,斯瓦泰克在首個紅土賽衛冕賽中要遇到自己的“剋星”奧斯塔彭科,如果無法戰勝對手的話,那麼她很有可能守不住世界前二的位置。
