On Monday in the round of 32 of the WTA Chennai open 2022 Linda Fruhvirtova of Czech will face Liang En-shuo of Taiwan.
At the US Open, Linda Fruhvirtova made her Grand Slam main tournament debut. When she swept her first four rounds in New York at a combined cost of just one set and advanced into the second round as a qualifier, losing only to Garbine Muguruza, she had not won three consecutive matches in five months. The 17-year-old accomplished an amazing job of confirming her top 200 debut in less than two years after her professional transfer, despite having been reserved for the previous several months. She defeated Ana Konjuh in Charleston and shocked Elise Mertens and Victoria Azarenka (via ret.) in Miami in March.
Liang En-shuo is into her first WTA main draw in nearly a year (seventh overall) after defeating Rutuja Bhosale and sixth seed Justina Mikulskyte in convincing straight sets in the Chennai qualifying’s. After losing more than 200 rankings spots from her 2019 career high, it would be music to her ears. The 21-year-old Taiwanese player was a hugely popular junior player in 2018, winning girls’ singles and doubles titles at the Australian Open. In Nanchang, China, in 2018, she reached her maiden WTA quarterfinal rapidly at the age of 17, but she has since failed to get past the first round just twice.
Linda Fruhvirtova and Liang En-shuo are scheduled to face each other in the round of 32 of the 2022 WTA Chennai Open on Monday, September 12. The tournament is scheduled to begin on September 12 and end on September 18.
The 2022 WTA Chennai Open is scheduled to commence on September 12 and go on until September 18 this year. The tournament will have five rounds of play excluding the qualifiers. These are the round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals.
