Wang Xinyu's advancement to the women's singles final in Berlin is highly significant. It's worth noting that she was not favored to succeed prior to the tournament, yet she managed to defeat formidable opponents such as Gibson, Jabeur, Kasatkina, Gauff, Badosa, and Samsonova, achieving an impressive six-match winning streak, including the qualifiers. Notably, Wang did not lose a single set in the main draw and triumphed over four top 20 players, marking her first appearance in a tour final. With this semifinal victory, Wang's ranking has risen to 32nd, securing her a seeded spot at Wimbledon 2025.

本场比赛之前， 王欣瑜曾6次闯入WTA巡回赛女单半决赛，均铩羽而归，这一次在柏林她终于实现了突破，并有望解锁职业生涯首冠。女单签表显示，王欣瑜决赛中的对手将是在另一场半决赛中爆冷击败世界一姐萨巴伦卡的前温网女单冠军万卓索娃。王欣瑜此前从未与万卓索娃交手，谁能最终捧杯我们拭目以待！

Wang Xinyu is looking to maintain her momentum at the WTA 500 event in Berlin.

When discussing the upcoming final, Vondrousova stated, “I enjoy every match, and I will strive to do the same tomorrow, even if it’s the final. I try to ease the pressure and enjoy playing, especially since last year was quite challenging. Yes, it’s fantastic to be back here competing.” Regarding her opponent Wang Xinyu, Vondrousova remarked, “I know her, but I’ve never played against her, so I think my coach and I will review the semifinal video. We’ll try to prepare some strategies based on what we’ve seen. I believe it always depends on me; I just focus on playing my game.”

Who will win the women's singles final of the 2025 Berlin Open scheduled for June 22? Vondrousova and Wang Xinyu have never faced each other across the net, but they can look to their recent matches for insights. Interestingly, both players share a peculiar history at this tournament, having each defeated two-time Wimbledon runner-up Jabeur, who entered the main draw as a lucky loser. On their path to the final, Wang Xinyu triumphed in the qualifiers, while Vondrousova eliminated Jabeur in the quarterfinals.

In excellent form, Wang Xinyu has reached the women's singles final in Berlin, having previously defeated the recent French Open champion Gauff on her way.

According to a post-match article on the WTA website, Wang Xinyu is filled with confidence after what has been the best week of her career in tennis. In the past nine days, she has achieved her seventh victory, a remarkable feat for a player who has only won 10 matches this year. After the qualifiers, Wang successively defeated world number 16 Kasatkina, number 2 Gauff, number 9 Badosa, and number 20 Samsonova, all of whom are top 20 players. With such powerful performance, Vondrousova will need to stay focused.
