现年17岁的网球新星西娅·弗罗丁将在美国网球公开赛主赛中迎来职业生涯首次亮相1。这位世界排名第580位的选手1将对阵世界排名第二的埃琳娜·里巴基纳1，后者是澳网卫冕冠军及大满贯得主1。弗罗丁通过赢得美国职业网球协会女子18岁全国锦标赛获得了这个外卡席位1。
弗罗丁与塞雷娜·威廉姆斯的渊源始于银幕。5年前12岁时，她在奥斯卡提名影片《国王理查德》中担任年轻塞雷娜的身体替身，并与威尔·史密斯合作1。她表示"能够饰演我一生都崇拜的人物角色特别荣幸"1。然而，过度适应塞雷娜的击球风格一度对她自身技术造成影响，后来在教练帮助下才恢复了自己的技术特点1。
在成为大满贯赛事正赛选手的道路上，弗罗丁已展现出不俗实力。她在今年澳大利亚网球公开赛女子青少年单打中打进半决赛，这也是她迄今最好的青少年大满贯成绩1。对于即将到来的美网首秀，她表示"能站在这里并真正获得在主赛中出战的机会，对我意义重大"1。
Seventeen-year-old tennis prospect Thea Frodin is set to make her main draw debut at the US Open, where she will face world No. 2 Elena Rybakina in a remarkable turn that mirrors her earlier work in film 1. Frodin secured a wildcard entry by winning the USTA Girls' 18s National Championships, marking a significant milestone in her professional career 1.
Five years ago, when Frodin was just 12 years old, she served as body double for the young Serena Williams in the Oscar-nominated film "King Richard," appearing alongside Will Smith 1. At the time, Frodin said: "Being able to play the role of somebody that I looked up to for my whole life was super special" 1. The experience on set, however, left her overadapting to Williams' playing style, requiring her coaching team to help restore her own technical approach 1.
Frodin, currently ranked 580th in the world, will face Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina in her US Open main draw opener 1. She arrives at the tournament following a career-high performance at the Australian Open earlier this year, where she reached the semifinals of the girls' singles draw 1. Reflecting on her opportunity to compete at this level, Frodin expressed: "To be standing here right now and actually getting a chance to play in the main draw, it means everything" 1.
