Day 8 at the US Open<\/a>. Ladies’ round of 16. Zhang Shuai<\/a> (1989<\/a>-; 5’10”, 2003; $8.9m) is playing Coco Gauff<\/a> (2004<\/a>-; 5’9″; 2018; $4.8m) on the center court, the Ashe Stadium. So far it is a good match. Coco was born a year after Zhang turned pro.<\/p>\n

Zhang’s career isn’t as promising as Coco’s. In 2016, she even thinking of retiring due to 14 failed attempts in the main draw. She took her mother to Australian Open … however, she beat Simone Halep in the first round and advanced to the quarter. The good result encouraged her to remain in the game, and won a couple of slam doubles (2019 Aussie and\u00a02021<\/a>\u00a0US) with Stosur.<\/p>\n

Zhang vs Gauff (r of 16) is pretty good. Both plays well. Coco was born a year after Zhang turned pro. Zhang’s career isn’t as promising as Coco’s and she almost retired in 2016 due to poor results… Now, two slam’s doubles titles and, a very confident player. I watched Coco here in 2019 when she reached the 3rd round. It was a night game and we went nuts for her. She was little (only 15 at the time), reminded me of Degas\u2019 Little Dancer. I didn’t realize that Zhang grunts too, till now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
