On the evening of May 11, Beijing time, good news came from the Rome station of the 2024 WTA1000 tournament, and China's first sister Zheng Qinwen staged a three-set battle again, defeating Czech rookie Noskova 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 and advancing to the round of 16. In the next round, he will compete with former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka for a place in the top 8.
China's Zheng Qinwen made her debut in Rome with a 6-2, 6-0 win over American Rodgers, and finally brought fans a hearty victory after the Australian Open. Tonight's third-round match against Czech rookie Noskova, ranked 29th in the world, has seen the two meet once in 2021 in a lower-level tournament, with Zheng Qinwen winning 2-0. However, Noskova has made rapid progress in recent years, and once knocked out world No. 1 Swiatek at this year's Australian Open, Zheng Qinwen must not take it lightly.
Sure enough, in the first set of the game, Zheng Qinwen's serve was still regressing, and the old problem of a low success rate of one serve continued, with a success rate of only 40%, and he made a lot of mistakes, losing the first set 3-6.
In the second set, Zheng Qinwen gradually adjusted his state, reduced his own mistakes, and finally had the style of the world's top ten, only letting the opponent hold serve for one game, 6-1 and color.
In the deciding set, Noskova took the lead in serving, and the first four games were held by each other, and the two sides drew 2-2. In the 5th game, Zheng Qinwen scored four points in a row, broke serve strongly, and took a 4-2 lead. In the 7th game, Zheng Qinwen broke easily again, 5-2. In the 8th game, Zheng Qinwen's serve won the game, scoring four points in a row and winning the deciding set 6-2.
Congratulations to Zheng Qinwen for withstanding the pressure, reversing the game and successfully reaching the round of 16. In the next round, he will face off against former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka, and I hope to prepare seriously and stop playing with heartbeats.
Former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka has gone from strength to strength, knocking out 10th seed Kasatkina 6-3, 6-3 to beat two top 20 players this week to advance to the round of 16, her first three-game winning streak since her comeback this year. Next, she will face Zheng Qinwen, and the two sides will surely have another fierce battle
