WANG XINYU/L. Bronzetti
4-6, 6-2, 6-4
THE MODERATOR: Can you tell us about the match.
WANG XINYU: I think it was a tough match. It took me some time to adapt to my opponent. I was a little bit nervous at the beginning, a little bit slow adjusting.
Starting from the second set, I wasn't too worried. I gave myself more space to adjust. I served well. Very happy winning the match today.
THE MODERATOR: Questions in Chinese.
Q. After this tournament, what are your plans? What is your winter training plan?
WANG XINYU: Wow, very forward-looking question.
After this, I will go to Japan, Osaka, Tokyo. After that, it really depends on my physicality. We are planning to go to Hong Kong.
In terms of this year... Well, the winter training of last year, 2023, because of injuries, I wasn't able to prepare well. This year, this coming year, I would like to have a good rest. I need to go step by step to recover my training schedule.
Q. With the first set lost, what kind of adjustments did you make?
WANG XINYU: After the first set, I changed my outfit. Gave me some time to calm down. In the first set, I was a bit nervous. I was a little bit rushed. I wanted to slow down, to think about my strategy for the next set.
Q. You might be playing Pegula in the next round. Will you watch the match she's playing? What kind of preparations will you make?
WANG XINYU: Well, of course. I played her at Wimbledon. Coming back to the hard courts, it will be more challenging because she's been playing very well recently. In the North American season, she played very well. Her game is more challenging on hard courts.
I was down. I overcame challenges. I was able to turn things around. I'm really looking forward to the match tomorrow.
Q. A question about doubles. You do not have a very steady partner for the past two years. You did see a breakthrough in the doubles. For next year, what are your plans, the balance between singles and doubles? Do you have plans to have a long-term doubles partner?
WANG XINYU: The biggest reason this year is I would like to take care of my body. Next year, it will be the same. I will put the singles as a priority.
If I have a steady partner, one drawback is a lack of flexibility. You need to make the schedule beforehand. What if you perform better in the singles, you're not feeling that well physically? There's a lack of space and flexibility for adjustment.
