In the early morning of January 31, the 2022 W60 Orlando station produced a singles champion, she is the Chinese girl Zheng Qinwen who shined at the Australian Open. The 19-year-old Hubei girl won the championship with a strong result without losing a set after her teammates Yuan Yue and Wang Xiyu were eliminated early, and clearly declared that she already had the strength of the world's top 50.
Cheng Chin-man is the No. 2 seed in this event, and her performance is completely matching the ranking of this seed. In a total of 5 rounds, Zheng Qinwen only lost 15 rounds in total, which means that he only lost 3 sets per game, and the deeper he played, the easier it was to win: in the semi-finals, only 1 set was lost and donuts were sent out, and only 1 set was lost in the final.
After winning the Orlando championship, Zheng Qinwen's ITF women's singles titles increased to 8. What is even more valuable is that her 8 championships were won through 8 finals, and the 100% final win rate shows her strong psychological quality. At the Australian Open, fans have fallen for her tenacious temperament, and now the feeling is even more profound.
The W60 champion also brought 80 points to Cheng Qinwen, bringing his instant world ranking to 78th, surpassing The Australian Open's defeated Japanese star Naomi Osaka, whose instant world ranking is 86th. Zheng Qinwen, who earned 270 points in January, ranked in the world's top 30 at the end of the year according to this efficiency ratio.
With Zheng Qinwen's current world rankings, the future can jump out of the limitations of the ITF and devote himself to the WTA competition. In its participation plan, after a one-week break, it will compete in two WTA250 series races in the Americas, followed by the Crown Event in Indi Wells. At that time, the number of points earned will be much higher than when participating in ITF events.
Back in the final of the W60 Orlando, Zheng Qinwen faced McHale, who once reached 24th place in the world rankings. The 29-year-old veteran, once seen as the hope of American tennis, also defeated top seed Mika Doi on the way to the tournament, but appeared vulnerable in front of Zheng Qinwen.
Throughout the game, Zheng Qinwen issued 4 Aces, with a scoring rate of 84%, breaking all the opponent's serves, and winning 9 consecutive sets. In terms of total scores, Zheng Qinwen is even more crushed at 51-21 - it can be seen that Zheng Qinwen's current state and strength are completely beyond the scope of the ITF.
