As Zhang Shuai lost to Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic 6-0, 6-4 in the women's singles round of 16 in the Australian Open on Monday, all nine players from the Chinese mainland have been knocked out of the singles competitions at the first Grand Slam event of 2023.
Reaching the round of 16 was Zhang's second-best record in the Australian Open, after she had made the quarterfinals in 2016.
Zhu Lin, who was making her Australian Open debut this year, reached the round of 16 after beating Rebecca Marino of Canada, Switzerland's Jil Teichmann and Maria Sakkari of Greece in the first three rounds.
Though Zhu lost to Victoria Azarenka of Belarus on Sunday, the Chinese put in a creditable performance in winning the first set against the former world No. 1 and two-time Australian Open champion.
