After Zheng Qinwen reached the final of the Australian Open, it is estimated that before the start of the Australian Open, neither Zheng Qinwen himself nor Chinese fans expected such a result.
After seeing Zheng Qinwen defeat the Ukrainian girl Yastremska in two sets to enter the Australian Open final, many people called the luck of China's first sister in this year's Australian Open really skyrocketing, and the Australian Open is really the blessed land of China's golden flower, and there is no one.
How unlucky is Zheng Qinwen at this year's Australian Open?
Since the initial draw, many people believe that Zheng Qinwen can only reach the round of 16 at most, because one in eight potential opponents Pegula is a hurdle. When the two fought before, Zheng Qinwen couldn't beat this rich American girl, but he didn't expect Pegula to be eliminated in advance.
Pegula went out early, and there was a bigger threat ahead, former Wimbledon champion Rybakina. Since the start of the new season, Rybakina's form and performances have been quite impressive, starting with a Brisbane 500 title, which naturally makes her one of the biggest favorites to win the Australian Open. So as a potential opponent of Zheng Qinwen in the quarterfinals, judging from Zheng Qinwen's sweep at the Chinese Open last year, the quarterfinals must be Zheng Qinwen's best result at this year's Australian Open.
To the surprise of the outside world, I don't know if Rybakina's good luck in the new season ran out in Brisbane, when the unknown Russian girl Blinkova played against the namesake girl, she failed to seize the opportunity and was reborn repeatedly.
As a result, the outside world speculated that Zheng Qinwen's limit at the Australian Open was the top four, and there was absolutely no surprise, because there was also Swiatek, the biggest sufferer that Zheng Qinwen had failed to defeat so far.
Unexpectedly, Swiatek was so popular against the nobody-in-one Noskova that she was overturned by the 19-year-old young player, which caused an uproar in public opinion, and Zheng Qinwen became the biggest seeded player in the top half of the region with the No. 12 seed.
Now that Zheng Qinwen has reached the final, the process is really too tortuous and incredible. As a result, many fans and netizens bluntly said that when the screenwriter saw Zheng Qinwen's experience at the Australian Open this year, he had to admire that his imagination was not as bizarre as this direction, and he was willing to bow down in terms of professionalism. At the same time, I think that the people who Zheng Qinwen should be most grateful for are not Li Na, who gave her support, but Blinkova and Snokova, it is precisely because of their efforts that they have become the biggest pavers, which has created a great opportunity for Zheng Qinwen to reach the Australian Open final for the first time this year.
After Zheng Qinwen reached the first Grand Slam final of his career at the Australian Open for the first time, Zheng Qinwen's fans also shouted loudly that the next Li Na finally appeared.
But now just because Zheng Qinwen reached the Australian Open final, it seems that it is still too early to regard her as the next Li Na, Zheng Qinwen can play like this in the Australian Open this year, it is indeed a surprise, at most he has become the second person after Li Na to reach the Grand Slam final, and there is still a distance from becoming the next Li Na.
So how far is Zheng Qinwen from becoming the next Li Na now?
The outside world has been shouting to find the next Li Na, of course, it's not that you reach the Grand Slam final, the premise is that Li Na wins, you have to do it. Zheng Qinwen has only reached the finals so far, and no one knows whether he can win the championship in the end, because it can only be regarded as a major breakthrough in his career.
If Zheng Qinwen can defeat Sabalenka in the final and win the championship in one fell swoop, I believe that she will be called the next Li Na at that time, it is estimated that there will be many fewer people who question it, because Zheng Qinwen won the championship, and he did it, and there is no need to question it.
It's just that judging from the fact that Zheng Qinwen was swept by Sabalenka in the quarterfinals of the US Open last year, the huge difference in strength between the two is still quite obvious. And Sabalenka went all the way to the final, relying on the luck of Zheng Qinwen, all of which are the embodiment of hard power, just the spark-free duel against Gauff, you have to praise Sabalenka.
Zheng Qinwen was different, all the way to the finals, and the victories on the way to promotion were not seeded players, and the rankings were all outside the top 50. Against this type of opponent, it is normal for Zheng Qinwen to win the game, and there is really nothing to make a fuss about.
So what is Zheng Qinwen's strength, Sabalenka is the best tester. At that time, whether her strength has improved or it is due to luck, it will naturally be clear after the final.
