This morning, the 2024 US Open continued, and the Chinese golden flower withered! Former No. 1 Zhang Shuai missed the dream start of 6-0 in the first set, won first and then lost to Kruger, breaking her own WTA women's singles losing streak record. Zheng Saisai lost 0-2 to qualifier Ponchet and was eliminated.

On the first day of the competition, half of the six Chinese players advanced. Shang Juncheng made history by defeating the 27th seed Bublik 3-2 after playing 5 sets and entered the second round of the US Open for the first time. The 7th seed and China's No. 1 Zheng Qinwen defeated the local wild card Anisimova 2-1. Wang Yafan received the retirement gift from the 9th seed after stopping Sakkari 6-2 in the first set.

On the second day, two Chinese players played at the same time. Zhang Shuai was determined to end the longest WTA losing streak of 22. She was in full swing in the first set against Kruger, winning 6-0 and making it a bagel. The American player who was born in the 2000s quickly challenged in the second round and regained the lost ground 6-1. In the final set, the two players fought fiercely. Zhang Shuai fell behind 0-2 and tied the score to 5. Kruger scored 4 points in a row in the 11th game to save serve. The Chinese player saved game points in the 12th game, but still failed to drag the game into a tiebreak. The American player who was born in the 2000s finally broke serve to win the game, completing a 7-5 reversal. Zhang Shuai set a new losing streak record and suffered a first-round upset.

Zheng Saisai is no longer as brave as she used to be. The former San Jose top champion can't even beat the qualifiers now. She was defeated by French player Ponchet 4-6, 1-6 and was eliminated in the first round. So far, 5 Chinese players have been eliminated, including Buyun Chaoket, Yuan Yue, Wang Xiyu, Zhang Shuai and Zheng Saisai. On the second day, there will be 3 more Chinese players, Zhang Zhizhen, Wang Qiang and Wang Xinyu. Please stay tuned.
