China’s Wang Xinyu Battles Hard at Wimbledon 🎾
Hey tennis fans! Let’s talk about an exciting match at Wimbledon. China’s rising tennis star, Wang Xinyu, played a tough game against Zeynep Sonmez from Türkiye in the second round.
The match was intense! Both players showed amazing skills. In the first set, they kept breaking each other’s serves. That means they won games when the other player was serving, which is usually harder to do! Sonmez managed to win the first set 7-5.
In the second set, it was super close again. They were tied at 5-5! But then, Sonmez played really aggressively and took the set 7-5, winning the match.
After the game, Wang Xinyu said, “I think she played really well today, especially in her returns and baseline game. I didn’t get any easy points.” She felt that even though the match was close, there were things she could have done better. “I did the best I could,” she added.
Did you know? Just last month, Wang Xinyu reached her first Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tour final at the Berlin Open! Even though she didn’t win this time, she’s definitely a player to watch.
As for Zeynep Sonmez, this win means she has reached her best result ever in a Grand Slam tournament by moving into the round of 32! That’s pretty awesome!
