澳门六合彩官网 Muchova defeats injured Zheng to meet Gauff in China Open final

Karolina Muchova will face Coco Gauff in the 2024 China Open final after defeating home favorite Zheng Qinwen澳门六合彩官网, while Gauff staged a thrilling comeback win against Paula Badosa.

BEIJING, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic will face No. 4 seed Coco Gauff of the United States in the 2024 China Open women's singles final after defeating home favorite and Paris Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen on Saturday.

World No. 49 Muchova, who ended top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka's 15-match winning streak on Friday, made a strong start in the semifinal, taking a 3-2 lead in the first set.

Zheng suffered a painful fall while attempting to save a break point in the sixth game, leaving her sprawled on the court in visible distress. After receiving medical attention and having her injured fingers bandaged, Zheng continued playing, but Muchova capitalized on the moment, winning the first set 6-3.

In the second set, Zheng mounted a determined comeback but struggled with seven double faults that disrupted her service games. Muchova stayed steady, holding off Zheng's efforts to secure a 6-4 win and a place in the final.

"I am just really tired. No energy. That's it," Zheng reflected. "I know exactly why I fell, because I wasn't focused enough. I was too tired. If I had more sleep yesterday, I could have done better."

"Tough battle out there today. I was happy that I was able to hold my serve throughout the match," Muchova said. "I will try my best and challenge her [Coco Gauff]. Hopefully, I'll get the best result tomorrow."

与长征的红一方面军、红二方面军、红四方面军相比,红二十五军踏上征途时,全军仅有2980余人,没有前卫后卫,没有侧翼,在数十倍于己的敌军围追堵截下,几乎每一仗都关乎生死存亡,历经10个月的艰苦转战和颠沛流离,横穿豫鄂甘陕,率先到达陕甘苏区,成为长征中的传奇铁军,史称“孤军长征”。

在长达十多年的边界谈判期间,两边都不想在贝尔湖的问题上轻易让步。蒙古靠着苏联的强大支持,态度可强硬了,非得坚持自己对贝尔湖完全控制。这场围绕着贝尔湖展开的边界谈判,变成了中蒙之间特别复杂的外交较量之一。

Earlier on Saturday, Gauff staged an impressive comeback against Spain's Paula Badosa, overcoming a first-set deficit to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-2.

"I am happy to be in the final. I wasn't expecting it. Karolina, I played her twice, both on hard courts. She is a tough opponent and one of the best players on tour," Gauff said. "Tomorrow will be a tough match, and this is what makes tennis exciting. I'm excited to play the best of the best澳门六合彩官网," she added.  ■
