At 18:30 on January 25, Beijing time, in the women's singles semifinals of the Australian Open, Chinese Xiaohua Zheng Qinwen will face the Ukrainian star Yastremska, although she is only a qualifier, although the ranking is far lower than Zheng Qinwen, but this opponent is not simple at all, her tennis and life are full of topics.
Yaltremska is only 23 years old this year, she rose to fame at a young age, and she is highly sought after for her youthful beauty, having played a top ranking of 21st early on, and her excellent results of three tour titles are commendable. In 2018 in Hong Kong, the 18-year-old IELTS was born, Lian Ke Zheng Saisai, Zhang Shuai, and swept Wang Qiang, who was in good form, to win the championship, which made many Chinese fans know her.
However, the growth of the following years was stunted, coupled with various off-court factors, and gradually the attention was gradually stolen by younger rookies. In November 2020, she overturned in a drug test and was found to have taken the banned drug mesterolone, that is, she tested positive for the male hormone doping and was banned, and her appeal court explained that the reason for the positive test was that she was infected in close contact with her boyfriend, and explained that she was recognized as the end of the ban, and then she collapsed, and the world ranking has been hovering around 100. In addition, she has become the queen of topics in private because of her rich relationship between men and women, and once withdrew from the match point when her opponent held the match point, causing controversy, taking a series of photos of her face painted half black and half white, attacked by the black community, and the country suffered, and took her sister to say goodbye to her parents and hometown to take refuge in other countries.........
For a 23-year-old girl, the good and bad of her could be written into a legendary book, but at the moment, she is a tennis player in excellent form, and Zheng Qinwen has faced the strongest opponent so far at the Australian Open. Yastremska's style of play is very aggressive, full of offensive power, most of the time she makes a lot of mistakes, and it is rough, just like when Zheng Qinwen is not in good shape, hahaha.
But this Australian Open is in very good shape. She won eight straight matches from the qualifying round, played three sets in all three matches of qualifying, and came to the main draw, where she only played three sets against Navarro (6:2 2:6 6:1) and the other four matches in straight sets, beating Vondrousova 6-1 6-2, Rickglacheva 6-3 6-2, Azarenka 7-6-4 and Noskova 6-3 6-4.
Of course, Zheng Qinwen is not a soft club, although she has a high double fault rate on serve and a low first-serve goal rate in this competition, she still won five games in a row, she has a strong attack, a stable mentality, and a strong fighting spirit. Compared with last season, Zheng Qinwen's mentality is much more mature, his psychology is much stronger, and he is much calmer on the court.
After advancing to the semi-finals yesterday, Zheng Qinwen said: "As the results get better and better, more people will support me and like me, and of course more people will hate me. This is normal - since some people like it, there will be people who don't. I'm mentally prepared for all that I have to face in the future, and if I want to be a top star, I have to learn to live with it all at peace. "Zheng Qinwen has really grown!Tonight against Yaltremska, the most important thing is to put down the victory and play your own thing, and reaching the semifinals of the Grand Slam is already a good result, unload the pressure, play with all your might, Zheng Qinwen come on!
