In a key match in the 4th round of the 2024 WTA1000 Rome Station that ended on May 13, Beijing time, the No. 7 seed and Chinese star Zheng Qinwen lost 2 straight sets and once won 7 games in a row to send an "invisible egg", swept the former world No. 1 and Japanese player Naomi Osaka, and entered the top 8 women's singles of the Rome Masters for 2 consecutive years. The scores in the two sets were 6-2 and 6-4.

Previously, Zheng Qinwen and Naomi Osaka had played each other once, and in the 2022 San Jose matchup, Zheng Qinwen lost to his opponent 1-2 in 3 sets. Coupled with the turmoil of Zheng Qinwen being "robbed of coach" by Naomi Osaka last year, this matchup is undoubtedly quite interesting.

In the first set, the two sides broke each other's serve as soon as they came up, and after Naomi Osaka held serve in the third game, Zheng Qinwen began to attack on the bottom line, gradually gaining the upper hand, and then she won 5 games in a row, and finally won the first set easily 6-2.

In the second set, Zheng Qinwen continued his good form, breaking Naomi Osaka's serve as soon as he came up and establishing a 2-0 lead. After that, both sides failed to break serve, and in the 10th game, Zheng Qinwen successfully won the service game, and finally won the next set 6-4, swept Naomi Osaka in straight sets, and advanced to the top 8 of the women's singles at the Rome Masters.

This is also the second consecutive year that Zheng Qinwen has reached the top 8 of the Rome Masters. After reaching the quarterfinals, Zheng Qinwen will face the winner of the No. 3 seed Gauff of the United States and Spanish star Badosa for a place in the semi-finals.
