on august 28, beijing time, 32-year-old wang qiang made her comeback at the beginning of this year. she was eliminated 0-2 by no. 16 seed samsonova in the first round of the us open women's singles. wang qiang was eliminated in the first round of the two grand slams after her comeback, and her number of grand slams to protect her ranking has been used up. this year's us open is basically her last grand slam match in her career. wang qiang revealed in an interview that her current age and condition can no longer be restored, and she also hinted that she is likely to retire after the national games next year.

as the former top chinese golden flower, wang qiang's highest world ranking was 12th in the world. she has also advanced to the quarterfinals of the us open, the round of 16 of the australian open, and the third round of the french open and wimbledon.

however, wang qiang's tennis career has reached countdown mode. she made a comeback at the beginning of this year. although her ranking has risen to over 400, she was eliminated in the first round of the two grand slam tournaments, wimbledon and the us open. she has lost the strength to compete in high-level competitions.

although wang qiang participated in this year's wimbledon and us open with the help of her protected ranking, as she herself revealed, her protected ranking quota for the two grand slams has been used up and it will be impossible for her to make it back in the future, so she has basically bid farewell to the grand slam.

regarding bidding farewell to the grand slam arena, wang qiang said she had no regrets: "i know how difficult it will be to go back, it's really too difficult. not to mention leaving my family and career, i just don't want to go out." wang qiang revealed that she is particularly weak in coping with jet lag. after returning to china after playing in wimbledon this year, she could only sleep two or three hours a day in the first 10 days.

wang qiang also commented on her own competitive ability. she believes that she can't go back to the past: "i can still win a few games in itf, but the difference between wta and itf is huge. i don't think i can win stably in wta at my current level."

wang qiang hinted that she will probably retire after the national games next year. she revealed that she will participate in several domestic events including the china open, as well as the osaka and tokyo events required by her sponsors, and then she will most likely bid farewell to the international arena. wang qiang will continue to work hard to maintain and improve her form in domestic events, and strive to play well in the national games next year before retiring.
