Zheng Qinwen, a 19-year-old girl who played in a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, once again surprised the Chinese people, and after three rounds of qualification tests, she defeated Belarusian star Sassnovic 2-1 in the first round of the main round to advance to the round of 64 of the 2022 Australian Open.
The scores in three sets were 6-3, 1-6 and 7-6, with the decider 6-6 after the decider by grabbing ten, and the big heart of Zheng Qinwen sent a 10-5.
This victory has been full of twists and turns, and some small situations have emerged in the process, which is in line with the reality of Zheng Qinwen's "first-year rookie". After winning, Zheng Qinwen raised his instant world ranking to 89th in one fell swoop, which is close to the position of the chinese tennis women's single sister.
1. Before the two "genius girls" surnamed Wang, they won the first victory in the Grand Slam regular tournament.
At a time when Zhang Shuai and Wang Qiang gradually lost their competitiveness due to their age, Chinese tennis emerged wang Xinyu and Wang Xiyu, two potential stars with outstanding physical conditions, and the former was praised by Sharapova as "the world's first in the future".
Both were born in 2001 and had long qualified to enter the WTA arena, but Zheng Qinwen, who was 1 year younger than them, could only struggle to improve the ranking in the itf's lower level competitions.
But who would have thought that the 19-year-old Zheng Qinwen took only one year to complete the rebound, ahead of the two "talented girls" surnamed Wang, and won the first victory in the main competition in the Grand Slam competition.
2, grab 17-4, Zheng Qinwen has begun to celebrate the victory in advance.
There was a small episode in the game, as a "first-year rookie", Zheng Qinwen had not yet figured out the rules of the game, and when the decisive set was ten to 7-4, she thought she had won, shook her fist to celebrate, and smiled to shake hands with her opponent in front of the net.
Fortunately, after being told that the game was not to grab seven but to grab ten, she did not get upset, returned to the state of the game, sent a 3-1, and finally won the ten 10-5.
3, the first shot is strong, but the second shot still needs to be strengthened.
In the game, Zheng Qinwen's shot was quite strong, sending 4 Ace balls, grabbing her own last serve point in the ten, which was obtained through Ace. Throughout the game, her one-serve win rate reached 64%, 7 percentage points higher than her opponents.
However, her second serve still needs to be strengthened, although the win rate has reached 63%, but it can be seen that the "fight" component is more, because she sent 10 double errors in the whole game. How to balance the relationship between fierceness and stability will be a topic that Zheng Qinwen will solve in the future.
4. The real ranking came to 89th, only 48 points behind the sister Zhang Shuai.
Winning the first round of the main tournament, plus points earned in three consecutive rounds of qualifying, Zheng Qinwen raised the real-time world ranking to 89th with 778 points, ranking third among Chinese players. In front of her, Zhang Shuai, who is in 81st place, and Zheng Saisai, who is in 83rd place, have 826 and 817 points respectively.
Because Zheng Saisai has chosen to retire, Zheng Qinwen can surpass her as long as he wins one more game, and if Zhang Shuai cannot win in the first round, Zheng Qinwen can also surpass her as long as he wins one more game, thus becoming the single sister of Chinese tennis women - at present, Zheng Qinwen is only 48 points behind Zhang Shuai, and advancing to the top 32 can increase by 60 points.
