So Eala skips Beijing where she'd get a main draw entry to play two 125s but enters Wuhan where the draw is smaller and more competitive and she has to play qualifying
I can't understand what her team is thinking.

The obvious idea is to gain points and experience rather than risk a R1 loss and not get any ranking points for it.

She’s over ranked right now when compared to her actual level so playing in qualifying and these 125’s is her way of picking up points to keep her in the top 100 when Miami comes around. Let’s not forget she’s still at risk of falling out of the top 100 when those Miami points come off.

IMO it’s actually a smart strategy—her team is clearly trying to prioritize keeping her in slam MD’s, which should be the ultimate priority for all players given the attention they get and the money they bring.

 

No wonder she choose those 125ks she has no confidence in big tournaments.

 

This is what happen that's why CHOKER Eala opt in WTA125 Jingshan instead of WTA1000 Beijing , Scared of getting Destroyed Early , Uchijima is even lower Rank 90plus and Eala is life and death with her

 

Much needed win for Uchijima. Xiyu -who is also desperate for wins at the moment - next. Likely another tough match.

 

Congrats Moyuka,Much needed confidence boosting win.
Lost To Dolehide Last week in Third set TB,so Happy She got the win
Eala Had alot of tight three set wins in Suzhou,looked very impatient on this match.

 

Wonderful result!

 

Tough opening qualy match for both players.
