Beijing time on January 17 news, the Australian Open women's singles first round, China's rising star Zheng Qinwen defeated Sassnovic 2-1 to win the first career Grand Slam. In the top ten of the decider, Zheng Qinwen celebrated the victory in advance after 7-4, and she thought the game was over and she won. As everyone knows, the Australian Open has changed the rules, and the decider is to grab ten. Of course, "Little Li Na" Zheng Qinwen still lived up to expectations, grabbing 10-5 in ten to win.
In this campaign, Zheng Qinwen's performance was like a roller coaster, and in the first set, Zheng Qinwen had an overwhelming advantage and won 6-3. In the second set, when Zheng Qinwen was 1-2 behind, opponent Sassnovic called a medical timeout, and after the game restarted, Zheng Qinwen's hand slipped and he lost 1-6.
In the decider, Sassnovic once led 4-2, and Zheng Qinwen was in a very dangerous situation, but she still achieved a break, and the game finally entered the grab of ten. After taking a 7-4 lead, Zheng Qinwen shook her fist to celebrate the victory, and she began to prepare to walk to the net and shake hands with her opponent. Subsequently, the coaching team told Zheng Qinwen that the game was not over! At this time, Zheng Qinwen showed a very embarrassed and cute expression. Of course, Zheng Qinwen still lived up to expectations and won 10-5 in the grab ten.
Fans also sighed, "Zheng Qinwen is too cute, the coaching team is also very strong, before the game did not tell Zheng Qinwen to grab ten rules ah! ”
The Australian Open official first spit out, "Grab seven? Grab ten? Silly is not clear! How many fans have jumped up to celebrate when they saw Cheng Qinwen score the seventh point? ”
In fact, starting with the 2019 Australian Open season, the rule of grab ten has been implemented. Specifically, after the tiebreaker is tied 6-6, the player wins the next game by 10 points, and if the match is tied 9-9, it takes one side to lead by 2 points to win.
At that time, the head of the Australian Open organizing committee, Terry, said, "We decided to use grab ten, which ensures that when the game is tied 6-6 in the decider, the audience can still feel the special atmosphere of the game." In addition, the rule of grab ten can also reduce the decisiveness of the serve, which we think is the most ideal result at the moment. ”
But objectively speaking, Zheng Qinwen was able to win this battle because he played a key role in grabbing a stronger serve in the tenth.
In the 10 games so far in the 2022 season, Zheng Qinwen has won 9 games. Now, every step she takes at the Australian Open is a breakthrough! In the next round, she will challenge No. 5 seed Sakari.
