On February 13, 2024, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the WTA Doha 1000 competition, Zheng Qinwen, Zhu Lin, Wang Xinyu, and Guo Hanyu will all appear. Among them, Zheng Qinwen, Zhu Lin and Wang Xinyu will compete in the top 16. In addition to singles, Wang Xinyu also partnered with Sands in the first round of doubles to play against Ikeli/Guo Hanyu. The China Golden Flower Derby we are looking forward to is about to take place.
China’s No. 1 sister Zheng Qinwen received a bye in the first round. In the second round, her opponent was Polish Rinate. Zhu Lin defeated Gracheva 6-1, 6-1 in the first round, sending her opponent fried dough sticks twice, and successfully advanced to the second round. Zhu Lin's opponent in the second round is No. 3 seed Rybakina. Zhu Lin and Rybakina have played against each other twice, with each winning half. Facing the strong No. 3 seed, I hope Zhu Lin can continue her strong performance in the first round and win again. Wang Xinyu defeated Brazilian star Maya 6-1, 6-3 in the first round. Her opponent in the second round was Azarenka, ranked 31st in the world. In the first round of women's doubles, China Derby, Wang Xinyu/Sands played against Aikli/Guo Hanyu. No matter who wins, someone from China Golden Flower will advance to the second round of women's doubles.
China Golden Flower appeared together, and I hope they can successfully advance to the next round.
