The 2024 US Open is about to start. According to the schedule, there will be 6 Chinese players competing on the first day of the competition, including Zheng Qinwen, the top player in the Chinese Open. In addition, Wang Xiyu, Shang Juncheng, Yuan Yue, Wang Yafan and Buyun Chaoket, who entered the Grand Slam for the first time, will appear in turn. The 6 Chinese players will strive to get off to a good start and pass the first round.

Zheng Qinwen's opponent is Anisimova, the biggest "seed killer" of this year's US Open. Anisimova achieved a good result of one quarterfinal and one runner-up in the US warm-up match, and her world ranking also jumped from outside the top 100 to within the top 50. As this former talented girl has regained her form, Zheng Qinwen's first-round match with her has become the focus of everyone's attention.

Anisimova plays with power, relying on her strength to suppress her opponent. If she stands still and swings her hands randomly on the hard court, it will be difficult for Zheng Qinwen to win according to her current state. Therefore, in order to limit Anisimova, she must be allowed to run, which is a great test of Zheng Qinwen's ability to control the landing point, and he must open up the angle and seek a certain degree of stability. Anisimova is more afraid of players who use the force to counterattack, so Zheng Qinwen needs to do a good job in defense.

Wang Xiyu's opponent is Paris. The two are equally ranked in the world, Wang Xiyu 56th and Paris 62nd. Both of them were born in the 2000s and are very physically fit. Although Wang Xiyu is slightly ahead in the world ranking, Paris is far ahead in season data, especially in Aces, where Paris served a total of 156 times. Wang Xiyu needs to pay more attention to this, which will also test the Chinese golden flower's serve receiving ability. The victory or defeat of both sides depends on on-the-spot performance.

Shang Juncheng is the first Chinese male player to compete, and his opponent is the 27th seed Bublik. In terms of overall strength, Shang Juncheng is unlikely to make it through the first round, as Bublik's serve is quite fierce; the other Chinese male player is Buyunchaoket, and his opponent is the 8th seed Ruud. For Buyunchaoket, being able to enter the main draw is a surprise, so he should enjoy the happiness brought by the Grand Slam main draw.

In the match between Yuan Yue and E-Andreeva, Yuan Yue has a great chance of winning because Andreeva has only won 4 games this season. Yuan Yue can win the game as long as she plays steadily. Wang Yafan is against No. 9 seed Sakkari. In this game, Wang Yafan is at a complete disadvantage. Being able to play against the top ten seeds is a good learning opportunity for Wang Yafan.

The women's doubles draw has also been released. Veteran Zhang Shuai and Mladenovic will face No. 2 seeds Mertens/Hsieh Su-wei in the first round, while Wang Yafan and Kato Miyu will face No. 6 seeds Errani/Paolini. The only seeded women's doubles pair Xu Yifan/Buksha will face Andreeva/Pavlyuchenkova in the first round. If they can get through the first two rounds, they will meet Mertens/Hsieh Su-wei in the third round.

For the rest of the players, Wang Xinyu/Zheng Saisai will face Bolt/Kalinskaya, Wang Xiyu/Sun Lulu will face Mihalikova/Nichols, Jiang Xinyu/Ninomiya Makoto and Bondar/Birrell will compete for their first win, Yuan Yue/Uchijima Moeka will face Watson/Mohammed, Guo Hanyu/Niculescu will face Shishkova/Ramsden. In men's doubles, Zhang Zhizhen/Mahachi will face Mees/Smith. Mees is ranked eighth in doubles and won the 2019 French Open men's doubles championship.
