Sorry, stop ranking! Wang Yafan narrowly lost and Zhang Shuai was out. Wang Qiang's debut in North America ushered in the Straits Derby.

On August 12, Beijing time, when the Rogers Cup ended on August19, Cincinnati Super Five was in full swing, and China had two golden flowers to participate in the qualifiers and hit the seats in the race. It's just that Zhang Shuai, the No.2 seed in the qualifying round, has already played a round of tour, while Wang Yafan swept Vandewegh, the top 4 player in the former US Open and Australian Open in the first round of the qualifying round, but lost to Polish rising star Svatek in the final round with 1-2 in three sets. It's a pity that she didn't make it to the final, and also announced that China Erjinhua, who participated in the qualifying round, was completely annihilated.

The hard court season in North China is in full swing, which is different from Jinhua's first sister Wang Qiang who hung up the war-free card in the first two stops of San Jose and Rogers Cup, and the second coach Zhang Jinhua who fought on two fronts for three consecutive stops. Overloading undoubtedly greatly consumed Zhang Shuai's energy. In San Jose, both Zhang Shuai's women's singles and women's doubles are a tour. The Rogers Cup is a lucky loser to make up for the women's singles round that stopped in the race, and the women's doubles is also a tour.

Now, Zhang Shuai is competing for the third week in a row. She still didn't get a direct seat in Cincinnati, but she was eliminated as the second seed in the qualifiers. As a result, Zhang Shuai was eliminated 0-2 in the first qualifying round, and she lost to Pliskova 4-6 and 6-7(5).

When Zhang Shuai was out of the women's singles qualifying tournament early, another qualifier, China Wang Jinhua Yafan, advanced one round earlier. Wang Yafan lost only four sets in the first round of qualifying, and easily defeated the former Australian Open and the US Open in two sets to choose Vandewegh.

Just entering the final round of Cincinnati qualifiers, Wang Yafan is facing the Polish rising star Svatek who has been in good shape recently. In the previous Rogers Cup, she eliminated Wozniacki, the former world ranking 1 and grand slam champion, and lost to Naomi Osaka, a Japanese elder sister who is currently ranked 1 in the third round.

Wang Yafan struggled for 2 hours and 07 minutes in such an encounter. She lost the first set 4-6, with a total score of 0- 1 behind, but she still fought back strongly. In the second set, Wang Yafan drew back a set 6-3, thus tying the first two sets, but unfortunately, he lost the game 4-6 again in the deciding set, so the total score was 1-2, and he lost to the Polish nova who will face the famous Garcia in the first round.

Of course, although Zhang Shuai and Wang Yafan both stopped the Cincinnati qualifiers, there were still two China Jinhua players who directly advanced to the race by ranking. Wang Qiang, the first sister of China Jinhua, will play Xie Shuwei, the first sister of China Taipei, and Zheng Saisai will play Kuzmova, the Slovak player.
