Why can Zhang Shuai win?

First, adjust your mentality. 33-year-old Zhang Shuai actively adjusts his mentality and enjoys playing tennis more. When playing the active ball, she strives to control the landing point + line + rotation more accurately; when playing the passive ball, she tries her best to let herself carry one more shot, so that the opponent cannot easily get the winning point. On the other hand, 28-year-old Alexandrova , her desire to win is too strong, and her emotional management obviously changes with the score. A close-up shot showed that Alexandrova "violently" dropped her racket in the first set to vent her dissatisfaction with herself, which resulted in boos from the audience.

The second is to find strategies to deal with the enemy from the last defeat. The last time the 2 players met, it dates back to the first outdoor clay court event in Europe in April this season, the WTA500 Stuttgart Porsche Grand Prix. At that time, Zhang Shuai unfortunately lost in a double tiebreaker. Zhang Shuai found strategies to deal with the enemy from the defeat: seize key points in key games + improve the quality of serving and receiving + reduce unforced errors, etc.

The third is firm execution. has a targeted competition strategy, and firm execution ability is the key to winning the game. In the second set, Alexandrova once fell behind 2-4 and fought back desperately to catch up to a 4-4 tie. However, Zhang Shuai withstood the pressure, resolutely implemented the pre-match tactics, improved the quality of serving and receiving, and reduced unforced errors, effectively curbing the opponent's rising momentum and freezing the game at 6-4.

Next round preview: In the third round of , Zhang Shuai vs. World No. 2 Kontaveit competes for a ticket to the top 8 of women's singles. This is undoubtedly a challenge for Zhang Shuai. The two sides met 4 times before, and Zhang Shuai was at a disadvantage 1-3. At the beginning of this year in Sydney, Zhang Shuai was defeated twice 3-6. I hope Zhang Shuai will continue his efforts and play his best tennis.
