Five former US Open champions gathered in the quarterfinals of 16 and were called Flushing Rome party, Svatech s absence is a pity

When I saw the women's singles top 16 in the 1000 Rome, someone once bluntly said that this level of luxury is probably difficult to reappear in the future!

The reason why this year's top 16 women's singles lineup has quickly become popular in public opinion since its inception is that it includes five former US Open champions, Naomi Osaka, Andreescu, Raducanu, Goff and Sabalenka. Some people describe it as "a collective appearance of Rome among the little masters who have reached the top of Flushing in recent years."

Japanese girl Naomi Osaka was the US Open champion in 2018 and 2020. She is the only member of the Rome Women's Singles Top 16 who holds two US Open champions!

As for Naomi Osaka who was able to advance to the quarterfinals of 16 in Rome this year and did not get out early, everyone was surprised, and they also said bluntly that the Japanese girl really wanted to fulfill her original promise and prepare to let the outside world see a completely different self on the clay. When Naomi Osaka first came back after giving birth, she once shouted that she wanted to achieve the goal of the Grand Slam and made up her mind to make efforts on the Red Clay, hoping to learn from Sharapova of that year and become a powerful player on the Red Clay.

Unfortunately, after returning, various states appeared frequently, and gradually everyone forgot about Naomi Osaka's goal of Grand Slam. This time he reached the top 16 in Rome, which once again made people pay special attention to this former world number one. I really want to see if the transformation on the clay will happen from this year.

Canadian girl Andrescu, known by fans and netizens as Anpin, is the 2019 US Open champion. After she won the championship in Flushing Park by defeating Queen Serena Williams, she became famous overnight like a blooming peony, making the whole world remember this Canadian girl who smiled very likable.

The Canadian girl defeated Lebakinna in the third round this time and entered the round of 16, which also witnessed her super clay strength. She is looking forward to her next performance at the French Open.

2021 US Open champion Raducanu, who was able to hold on in Rome without collapsing, won a top 16 seat, which surprised everyone as much as Naomi Osaka.

Unfortunately, the British girl's luck in this time was really bad. She finally saw her progress in clay, but unfortunately she was going to compete with 2023 US Open champion Gofu in the quarterfinals for a ticket to the quarterfinals. Such a showdown can be regarded as another ruthless destruction of fate on Laducanu.

However, fans and netizens seem to have nothing to do with this. They say bluntly that no matter who Radukanu or Goff can enter the quarterfinals, at least one former US Open champion has secured a seat in the quarterfinals. This is the cruelty of competitive sports. Since it cannot be combined, let stronger people advance, and perhaps Flushing's glory last longer.

The last five former US Open champions, Sabalenka, is the 2024 US Open champion.

The Belarusian girl played in the Rome 1000 as the number one seed. After Svatek stopped at the top 32, judging from the public opinion, Sabalenka has the highest call for winning the championship. Many people are looking forward to the world's number one this year to replicate the feat of Svatek winning the clay 1000 championships back to back last year in Madrid and Rome, and then rushed to Roland Garros to point the French Open championship.

The mention of Svatech now also makes everyone feel deeply regretful. Because if the Polish girl is not upset against Collins in the third round, there will be six former US Open champions in this Rome's round of 16.

I never thought that after Svatech was blocked outside the top 16, the only 2022 US Open champion was missing in the Roma women's singles 16 lineup, which seemed a bit inadequate.

Someone bluntly stated that if Svatech did not fall behind early, the US Open champions would gather in the quarterfinals of 16 in Rome for six consecutive years. "This kind of Flushing's grand party would definitely become a story in the tennis world."

When everyone was hotly discussing the five former US Open champions meeting in the Rome Women's Singles Top 16, they also wanted to know whether such a grand party would continue after the quarterfinals came out, or just a feast would soon disperse.

When the final quarterfinals were produced, it proved that this big party was indeed just a dinner party and it ended soon. Only Sabalenka and Gofu, two former US Open champions, advanced to the quarterfinals, and Mami Osaka, Raducanu and Andreescu were all eliminated.
