Go, Wei Sijia! 🎾
Guess what, tennis fans? China’s 21-year-old rising star, Wei Sijia, is just one win away from making it into the main draw of the Australian Open! 🌟
On Wednesday, Wei played an amazing match against Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch. She won in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, in just one hour and 18 minutes. That’s pretty quick for a tennis match! ⏱️
This victory means that if Wei wins her next match, she’ll get to play in the main event of the Australian Open for the very first time! How exciting is that? 🙌
Her next opponent is Nina Stojanovic from Serbia. The big match is on Thursday, and we’re all cheering for Wei! 🎉
Did you know? Wei hit 20 winners during her last match, while her opponent only hit 10. A “winner” is a shot that your opponent can’t return. That’s a lot of awesome shots from Wei! 🎯
Wei has been here before. Last year, she almost made it into the main draw but fell short in the final round of qualifying. This time, she’s determined to make it all the way! 💪
Let’s send Wei Sijia all our good vibes and wish her the best of luck in her next match! Go Wei! 🇨🇳❤️
