When it comes to Chinese tennis, the first thing that fans think of is naturally Li Na. The Hubei tennis star has almost become the spokesperson for Chinese tennis, just as basketball is to Yao Ming and snooker is to Ding Junhui. However, in recent years, with li na's retirement, the influence of Chinese women's tennis in the world tennis world has also declined a lot. Many fans are looking forward to the emergence of one or even a few more star players like Li Na in the Chinese tennis world, but today's Chinese women's tennis players always feel that compared to Li Na, they are much worse. However, at this australian open, China's golden flowers performed well as a whole, especially Li Na's Hubei hometown, a young player after 00, and was evaluated by many fans as playing the aura of big-name players on the field.
This post-00s tennis golden flower, named Zheng Qinwen, was born in Shiyan, Hubei Province on October 8, 2002, and is a fellow tennis star Li Na. This Australian Open is definitely a breakthrough for Chinese women's tennis. This time, a total of 6 Chinese players participated in the main competition, and there were 3 "post-00s". These Chinese golden flowers once played an 8-game winning streak on the field, which made many fans excited. The first victory of the Chinese girls at the Australian Open was won by Zheng Qinwen, which made a good start for the Chinese tennis girls.
After strongly reaching the second round, Zheng Qinwen met a fierce player in the world tennis world, the Greek Sakkari. Sakkari is the fifth seeded player at the Australian Open and is very strong. Zheng Qinwen has a big gap with her in terms of fame, strength and experience. In the face of such a powerful player, Zheng Qinwen was not frightened by the fame of his opponents, but dared to fight in the game, playing the spirit that Chinese fans were very much looking forward to, and was evaluated by many fans as having the aura of a big star.
At the beginning of the game, the very young Zheng Qinwen did have a gap in strength with her opponents, and her inexperienced first set was quickly defeated by her opponents, which took only 33 minutes and a score of 6:1. However, in the subsequent game, Zheng Qinwen, who gave a go, gave his opponent a glimpse of what is the aura of China's post-00 players. Although the second set has always been in a relatively passive state, Zheng Qinwen has become more and more tenacious and has not made his opponent feel better. At the end of the set, Zheng Qinwen played the climax of the whole game. Hit a lot of good points and even save match points three times. Although the final game was still lost, Zheng Qinwen's performance was really good, calm, and big heart. The winning points are even higher than those of the opponent in ACE and the winning score, but twice as many as the opponent in terms of unforced errors. This also shows that Zheng Qinwen really needs to further hone his skills and reduce mistakes.
Zheng Qinwen is still very young, the youngest player among the Chinese players participating in the Australian Open. She and tennis star Li Na are both from Hubei, and have also studied under famous coaches such as Xia Xiyao and Yu Liqiao, and can be called Li Na's sister. Zheng Qinwen has been exposed to high-level tennis events abroad for a long time and has achieved very good results in junior tennis competitions. He has reached the top 4 in both the French Open and the US Open Junior Division, and has also played three legs with the talented girl Gauff in the Orange Bowl final. After moving into the adult category, she reached the final four in sydney and won three consecutive qualifying matches at the Australian Open to advance to the main tournament. In the main tournament, the first time to participate in the Grand Slam main tournament, the victory was won. I have to say that among Chinese women's tennis players, it is very good that they can make such progress at a young age. What is even more valuable is the fighting spirit and psychological quality she embodied in the game, which makes the fans optimistic about her prospects.
However, although Zheng Qinwen gained a lot at the Australian Open, there were also some things that made her feel very unfriendly, and even some double standards. Zheng Qinwen, who has been playing high-strength trial events recently, after the first set of the match with Sakkari, zheng Qinwen, who felt a little uncomfortable, took advantage of this pre-set break to apply for a medical suspension. This normal request to comply with the relevant rules actually caused some Greek fans present to publicly condemn, and even the English commentator who was present at the time kept suggesting that Zheng Qinwen was "cheating" and saying that she was using "Plan B".
I have to say that the English commentator's unfriendly statement is really very undeserved, especially in the face of such a young player. Although Zheng Qinwen was eventually eliminated, the quality of her face to the big players on the field gave us reason to believe that this Chinese little flower could be like her sister, fellow countryman Li Na, to play a piece of her own world in the tennis world.
