After the dual track system management mode was adopted for the women’s tennis event in China, solo players made brilliant achievements in many games, but the degree of professionalization and competitive performance of women’s tennis in China were still not high. Today’s dual track system management mode is the product of gaming between the appeal for professionalization reform and the nationwide system, its background is that solo players face tremendous pressure and challengers from young players growing up under the nationwide system. The dual track system is only a management mode explored for the women’s tennis event, but not the direction of development of sports system reform in China. The way to sports professionalization reform in China still needs to be further explored.
