In the early morning of August 23, the draw for the women's singles main draw of the US Open was released. A total of 8 Chinese golden flowers participated in this year's US Open main draw, led by Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen. Judging from the draws of several players, there are both good and bad news. Zheng Qinwen has bad luck in the draw and faces tough battles in every game.

Zheng Qinwen will play in this year's US Open as the No. 7 seed. In the first round, she will face local wildcard player Anisimova. Anisimova has been in great form recently and recently won the runner-up in Toronto. If she continues to move forward, Zheng Qinwen's opponent in the second round may be another golden flower Yuan Yue, provided that Yuan Yue can survive the first round match with Andreeva. Starting from the third round, Zheng Qinwen may face Yastremska, Kasatkina, Sabalenka, Gauff, and Swiatek in turn. Each round will be a tough challenge.

As for other Chinese players, Zhang Shuai and Wang Qiang are in the quarter-finals. Zhang Shuai's first-round opponent is local player Kruger, while Wang Qiang will face No. 16 seed Samsonova in the first round. For the two Chinese veterans, the opponents in the first round are very strong and it will be very difficult to win. Especially Zhang Shuai, who has suffered 23 consecutive losses, her losing streak may continue.

There are two Chinese players in the 2/4 zone, Zheng Saisai and Wang Xinyu. Zheng Saisai's opponent in the first round is a qualifier. If she advances, she will most likely face No. 4 seed Rybakina. Wang Xinyu will also face a qualifier in the first round, and her opponent in the second round will be the winner between No. 30 seed Putintseva and Noskova.

Wang Xiyu from Zone 3/4 will face French player Parry in the first round. Wang Xiyu has won both of their previous matches, including the first round of the 2022 US Open. Wang Yafan's opponent in the first round is No. 9 seed Sakkari. If she can advance, the two Chinese players will have a golden flower derby in the second round.

There will be several focus matches in the first round. Former champion Raducan will meet former Australian Open champion Kenin, who is playing at home, in a Grand Slam championship duel. Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka, who is participating with a wild card, will face No. 10 seed Ostapenko in the first round, which is also a meeting between Grand Slam champions. Another former champion Andreescu will face No. 5 seed Paolini.

[1] Swiatek VS [6] Pegula

[4] Rybakina VS [5] Paolini
