the 20-year-old "little flower" wei sijia from guangxi made her "debut" at the wushu open. facing the 13th seed gaedeji in the women's singles qualifying match of this tournament, she fought hard to catch up after falling behind 1:3 in the first set. after winning 3 consecutive games at 4:5, she won the first set at 7:5. entering the second set, "xiaohua" continued her good form in the first set, breaking serve consecutively and taking a 3:0 lead. in the subsequent game, gaedeji began to launch a counterattack, hitting a "small climax" that won 6 games in a row, and regained a set at 6:3; in the final set, wei sijia fell into a passive position after fighting with his opponent at 2:2. ji chengsheng chased and won 3 games in a row, winning the deciding set 6:4 and winning the entire game.
