Not long after the Indian Wells match began, Zhang Shuai, Wang Qiang and Zheng Qinwen, who represented China, were all out, making it difficult to find Chinese jinhua on the singles field.
Compared with Zhang Shuai and Wang Qiang,losing because of their poor state, only Zheng Qinwen's defeat is the most regrettable!
A year ago, 19-year-old Zheng Qinwen was still outside the world ranking of 600, and now she is already in the top 100 members, which shows how fast she is growing.
It is precisely because of this, coupled with her outstanding physical conditions and explosive power on the field, that many people are very optimistic about her, thinking that she is the most likely to become the next Chinese golden flower of Li Na.
Stepping onto the indian wells arena is another small flashpoint in her current career for Zheng Qinwen, who once again made her WTA 1000-level debut after participating in the Grand Slam for the first time.
Although her opponent is three-time Grand Slam champion Kerber, no one looks down on the unknown Zheng Qinwen, but the pre-match generally believes that she is the winning side.
Because the 35-year-old Kerber is already at the end of her career, compared with her peak, she has long since lost her courage, and before coming to Indian Wells, she has swallowed three consecutive defeats, and her state is difficult to say. Facing Kerber in this state, Zheng Qinwen has a great possibility of overthrowing the Grand Slam champion and writing a colorful stroke for his career.
In the first set, Zheng Qinwen, who played with Kerber for the first time, was obviously not very accustomed to the rhythm of the other side. When the two sides fought 2-2, Kerber used his experience in the competition to quickly grasp the initiative of the game, playing four consecutive sets and winning the first set.
In the second set, Zheng Qinwen, who gradually adapted to Kerber's rhythm, changed his game strategy and improved his firepower on the offensive end, and quickly achieved results, achieving a 3-1 advantage. Although later Kerber tried to slow down the pace of the game to disrupt The rhythm of Zheng Qinwen in order to affect her state. After a fierce battle between the two sides, Zheng Qinwen still won the second set and equalized.
After entering the tiebreaker, when Zheng Qinwen held a huge advantage of 4-1 in the current 5 sets and was getting closer and closer to victory, he suddenly appeared in terms of mentality. Perhaps disturbed by the idea of victory in sight, Zheng Qinwen instantly lost the concentration of the game, and Kerber seized the opportunity to play five consecutive sets to eliminate Zheng Qinwen.
Throughout the game, Zheng Qinwen's performance in the first two sets was very normal, especially against Kerber, a very experienced Grand Slam champion, he was not afraid of the stage, and even did better than his opponents at the offensive level.
The key to losing occurred in the mood swing of the decider, so that Zheng Qinwen, who had a chance to go further, lost the game.
This just shows that Zheng Qinwen is indeed very young, and when she is about to see the victory, the distractions in her heart make her lose the concentration she should have in the game, and finally pay the price for youth and inexperience, and pay expensive tuition. In the future, more competition experience is needed to slowly grow up.
In fact, zheng Qinwen at the critical moment, especially when he has a huge advantage and feels that he is about to move towards the end of victory, the imbalance at the mental level is really very normal. This is also the human nature in the face of a certain surprise, a moment of difficult to resist, the expression of emotions ups and downs.
The same situation has also appeared in the experienced Swiss king Federer.
Federer himself once confessed that in the Wimbledon final of a certain year, when he was close to the end of the victory, the concentration suddenly stopped, and he accidentally fell into a bitter battle. The core reason is that the game is not over, he thinks that he must win, and he begins to think about what to say when he receives the prize. Unexpectedly, he was caught by his opponent and caught himself off guard. In the end, he stabilized his mentality and regained his concentration before he won with difficulty.
Although Zheng Qinming has the opportunity to win the game and eventually loses it is a pity, but in a positive sense, this is the only way for young players to grow up, and this tuition fee is still necessary. At least in the future competitions of Zheng Qinwen, this matter will be a wake-up call for her, so that she will avoid repeating the same mistakes again!
