Among them, 10 was directly ranked as a finalist, 3 times broke through the qualifying tournament, and 1 time entered the competition with a wild card. 20 14 US Open, Zhang Shuai played as a seed for the first time and only time so far (#32).

Among them, the French Open has the highest efficiency, with 6 entries and 5 direct entries, while the US Open has the most entries but only 3 direct entries. Combined with the historical performance of Zhang Shuai, it is really better at red soil and slow hard ground.

Of course, the failure to win the 14 race has a lot to do with Zhang Shuai's poor signing.

14 In the first round of the tour, 1 1 was given by the defeated seed player, and two games were lost to the German fierce woman Bathel, who was not a seed but a victim. Look at the picture below. This 10 player, Grand Slam Champion, Runner-up, Top5, Fierce Woman, Serve Heavy Gun, Left-handed General, brings together all the best players in WTA.
