On January 25, in the women's singles semifinals of the 2024 Australian Open, Chinese player Zheng Qinwen defeated Ukrainian dark horse and qualifier Yastremska to reach the Grand Slam singles final for the first time in his career. The reason why netizens are keen to hype this matter is that in addition to the fact that this matter itself is indeed a good news, there is actually another helping force, that is, the recent performance of the national football team in the Asian Cup has made netizens too annoying, bad and even disgusting! Now that Zheng Qinwen has advanced to the Australian Open final, the gloomy brows of netizens can finally be relaxed!
Teenage genius
Zheng Qinwen was born on October 8, 2002 in Shiyan, Hubei. She is a natural tennis player, reaching a speed of 170 km/h on her serve at the age of 12, and on one occasion, her direct serve even caused a fracture in her opponent's receiver!
In 2015, at the age of 13, Zheng Qinwen won the European Junior Tennis Tour in Portugal. In 2018, at the age of 16, he won the U18 championship at the International Junior Tennis Championships in the United States. In the same year, he finished runner-up in the final of the Orange Bowl (losing to American genius Gauff). In 2019, Zheng Qinwen went to Spain for training under Spanish coach Pere Riba.
Initially famous
In 2020, the 18-year-old Zheng Qinwen won four lower adult tennis tournament titles (one in W15 and three in W25). At the same time, the world ranking soared from 650 to 219. In 2021, Zheng Qinwen won the W60 women's singles championship in the Czech Republic and the W25 in Funchal, Portugal, and rose to 128th in the rankings.

In 2022, Zheng Qinwen began to participate in competitions that belonged to real masters. He passed the first round of the Australian Open in January, and then participated in the WTA1000 Madrid Open (first round), French Open (round of 16), WTA 125 Valencia (champion), Wimbledon (round of 32), WTA1000 Toronto (round of 8), US Open (round of 32), and WTA 500 Tokyo (runner-up). This year, the 19-year-old Zheng Qinwen has collected the first victory in the first round of the main draw of the four Grand Slams in one year, and at the same time has advanced to the top 30 in the world rankings.
In July 2023, at the WTA 250 Palermo station, Zheng Qinwen won his first career tour championship. At the US Open in September, Zheng Qinwen reached the top 8 and lost to the No. 2 seed Sabalenka in the quarterfinals and missed the top 4. In September, he won the championship in the Asian Games, in October he won the championship in the WTA 500 Zhengzhou Open, and in October he won the runner-up in the WTA Zhuhai Super Classic. The world ranking has reached 15th.
Coaching turmoil
In the French Open in May 2023, Zheng Qinwen terminated his contract with Pere Riba, who had worked together for two years, because the results did not meet the expectations of Zheng Qinwen's team. At that time, Pere Riba posted on social media, saying that it was his honor to coach Zheng Qinwen, and was proud and proud of what Zheng Qinwen had achieved, and said that if she needed anything for herself one day, she just needed to call him. After terminating the contract with Riba, Zheng Qinwen signed Coach Fisset, who had coached many famous players such as Clijsters, Azarenka, Halep, Kerber, and Naomi Osaka. Later, he won the WTA Palermo championship, reached the quarterfinals of the US Open, and the cooperation was getting better, but Fisette suddenly abandoned Zheng Qinwen and returned to the arms of Naomi Osaka. Zheng Qinwen was also very angry at Coach Fei's breach of the contract, saying: "The breach of the contract is very immoral, I don't want to mention him!"
Since then, Wu Di, a former Chinese tennis player, has temporarily served as Zheng Qinwen's coach. In December, Zheng Qinwen "officially announced" the joining of a new coach on his personal social platform: it was Pere Ribba.
Zheng Qinwen posted: "After being separated for a period of time, I reunited and returned to the original time. We will embark on a new journey together and prepare for next year!"
Emotional intelligence is off the charts
Zheng Qinwen not only has a superb ball quotient, but also has a very high emotional intelligence. In an interview after defeating his opponent in the semifinals of the Australian Open, he said to the audience: "First of all, I would like to thank my Chinese friends who cheered for me on the spot, thank you, you have brought me very unforgettable memories." Also, the national flag held on it is really very beautiful, I wish you a happy new year!", this speech detonated the emotions of the audience, and also received a wave of praise!
Ten years of prophecy
On January 25, 2014, Li Na won the Australian Open for the second time by defeating Cibulkova in the Australian Open women's singles final. Subsequently, Li Na announced her retirement. After Li Na retired, some people predicted: "There will be no more Li Na in China in 10 years!" Now 10 years have passed, and tomorrow, at 16:30 on January 27, Zheng Qinwen will compete with the defending champion Sabalenka, who has won 13 consecutive Australian Open titles, for the women's singles title of this Australian Open. I wish Zheng Qinwen a successful swipe of the "card", fulfill the prophecy ten years ago, and become the second Chinese player to win the Australian Open championship after Li Na!
