News about Wang Xinyu

Love was in the air at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris as a host of lovebird competitors got up close and personal for the world to see. As the athletes travel home after two weeks of competition in the city of love, fans are still swooning over the medal winners who not only struck gold on the field of play, but in their love lives.

The Olympic mixed doubles tennis champions shared a kiss to celebrate clinching gold, just weeks after the pair broke up as a real-life couple. Czech duo Katerina Siniakova and Tomas Machac beat Chinese pair Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu 6-2 5-7 10-8 to win the event in Paris last night. The couple, who had been dating since 2020, announced their split last month during the Prague Open but insisted they would still compete as a team at the Olympics despite their off-court problems. Siniakova said: 'Yes, of course. It's a private matter, but of course we will play together. We are professionals.' Now fans are going wild after the seemingly reconciliatory moment and are speculating whether the pair might be getting back together.

TAMARA PRENN AT WIMBLEDON: Elina Svitolina spoke of the guilt she feels competing at Wimbledon against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine after defeating Wang Xinyu in straight sets to book her place in the Championships' quarter-finals. The 29-year-old sported a black ribbon pinned to her whites for her fourth-round match in commemoration of the lives lost to a Russian missile strike which targeted a children's hospital in Kyiv on Monday morning. Svitolina was visibly emotional after claiming the 6-2, 6-1 victory, in tears after claiming the 6-2, 6-1 defeat, stating that it had been 'hard to focus' on the match at hand. 

British No 2 Harriet Dart lost six games in a row to suffer a painful three-set defeat to Wang Xinyu in the third round to miss out on the chance to break new ground at Wimbledon. Dart had failed to reach the last 16 of a grand slam since her main-draw debut at the All England Club six years ago, but she negotiated windy conditions and rain delays to move 5-4 up in the second before she sent a simple smash volley into the net at deuce. It was the closest Dart would get to a match point, with further lapses of concentration in the third after she raced into a three-game lead bringing her fine run at the Championships to an end after a 2-6 7-5 6-3 loss to Wang.

After being defeated 6-0, 6-4 by Leylah Fernandez and Taylor Townsend at Roland Garros, Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula have been sent packing from the French Open women's doubles semi-final. In Sunday's final, the Canadian-American pair, seeded 10th, will meet unseeded Hsieh Su-Wei of Taiwan and Wang Xinyu of China. Hsieh and Wang defeated sixth-seeded Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ellen Perez 6-3, 6-3. At Roland Garros, where the Americans lost to Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic, Gauff and Pegua, the No. 2 seeds, were last year's runners-up in women's doubles.
