The good news has come for our Chinese women's tennis circle recently, and you may have to remember the name Zheng Qinwen! She has just broken her personal ranking record and jumped to the seventh place in the world.
Three years ago, in 2021, Zheng Qinwen was ranked 630th in the world ranking of tennis, a number that may mean "obscurity" for many people. But for Zheng Qinwen, this is just the beginning of her story.
At that time, she was like a seed that had just been planted, and many people didn't even notice her existence. But it was this "seed" that, in the days that followed, broke through the ground little by little and grew into a big tree that the entire tennis world looked up to.
In the past three years, she has made unimaginable efforts. Whether it is high-intensity training under the scorching sun, or reflection and adjustment after being defeated by opponents again and again in competitions, she has never given up. Even at night, when others are asleep, Zheng Qinwen's tennis dream continues.
Every little progress she made was honed in sweat and tears. And these "small steps", added up, have become a huge leap forward that she is eye-catching today.
The Australian Open is a stage that every player dreams of. And Zheng Qinwen is undoubtedly the most dazzling flower on this stage. She reached the women's singles final on her debut, and although she didn't win the championship, it was shocking enough. Her battle not only won respect for herself, but also won glory for the Chinese women's tennis team.
She has played against many top players, winning less and losing more. Facing the world No. 1 Swiatek, she once lost all five fights, which was not a good feeling. But Zheng Qinwen was not discouraged by this, but trained harder, and every failure became a ladder for her progress.
One day in 2024, Zheng Qinwen received an unexpected surprise. Her rival, world No. 8 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, exited Charleston early, losing important points and dropping to ninth. And Zheng Qinwen unexpectedly sat in the seventh position in the world.
This is Zheng Qinwen's luck, but more people know that this is the result of her strength and hard work. When it comes to tennis, there are no permanent winners. Every game, every point, is hard-won. Zheng Qinwen knows that only by constantly improving and constantly overcoming the difficulties and self in the competition can he stand in a higher position.

Along the way, Zheng Qinwen has shaped his tennis philosophy: not afraid of strong opponents, not afraid of failure. Every time she challenges a strong opponent, she goes all out, even if she loses, she has to leave her sweat and hard work on the court. This spirit has made her stand out on the tennis court and has also made her a role model for countless young players.
The rise of Zheng Qinwen has also given Chinese women's tennis a new perspective. Before her, although the Chinese women's tennis team had outstanding performances, it still needed such a rising star to provide new energy and direction. Zheng Qinwen is like a clear stream, injected with fresh blood of Chinese women's tennis.
Every time he mentions his achievements, Zheng Qinwen always modestly says that these are the results of team efforts. Tennis, she said, is an individual sport, but behind it is the support of a team. From nutritionist to coach, from therapist to sparring partner, everyone is an integral part of her path to success.
