On October 7th, Zhang Shuai, a 36-year-old veteran, defeated the 14th seed of the tournament, American star Navarro 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 in the first round of Wuhan Open, and advanced to the top 32 with his head held high.

In the hot weather in Wuhan, veteran Zhang Shuai played in the afternoon, which made many fans sweat for her. In particular, opponent Navarro is only 24 years old and has more advantages in physical fitness and strength. However, from the first set, Zhang Shuai played moderately, took the lead in breaking the ball and went to the next city first. Navarro equalized the score in the second set. After entering the deciding set, Zhang Shuai once fell behind 0-3 at the beginning, but the veteran’s tenacity showed again. She rose to catch up with the next six games and finally suppressed Navarro to win.

This is the second time that Zhang Shuai defeated his opponent after last year’s China Open, and also won the Wushu Open after seven years. Next, she played the winner between Ostapenco and Costia.

After the game, Zhang Shuai said that the weather in Wuhan was really hot, and he started well today, but he felt that he didn’t play well in the second set. "But when the third set was 0-3 behind, I heard everyone cheering me up. I had motivation at once, and I had energy. This victory was brought to me by everyone."

In this Wushu Open, Zhang Shuai and Yuan Yue, two China Jinhua, advanced to the top 32.
