On October 13, it was reported that in the Chinese derby of the women's singles final of the Wuhan Open, which ended on the evening of October 12, Zheng Qinwen defeated Wang Xinyu 2-0 and successfully advanced to the final, and will face the nemesis Sabalenka again. A few days ago, Zheng Qinwen said in an interview that he would not make friends with women's singles players, because being on the court would cause him to be emotionally disturbed.
Previously, after the third round of the Olympic women's singles, her opponent Navarro criticized Zheng Qinwen in person, and she said after the match: "I just told her that I don't respect her as a competitor." Because I think the way she handles things is pretty brutal, which makes her not have a lot of camaraderie in the dressing room. So it's tough to face an opponent like that, and I really don't respect her. ”
A few days ago, Zheng Qinwen said in an interview with VOGUE that when she entered the professional circle, she had an idea that was very intuitive and determined: not to "make friends" in the singles professional circle, "I have not changed this idea until now." Because, if I really want to make a friend, I definitely want her to be good, she definitely wants to win the game, she will definitely be unhappy if she loses, then if we two fight, I definitely hope that I can win, and I will be very unhappy if I lose...... It's going to be difficult for me to play against a friend because I want to treat any opponent as if she were an opponent when I stand on the court and don't have any complicated information. If this person is my friend, it will cause me some mental pressure and infirmity, which will also conflict with my values. I'm going to try not to make friends in our singles circles so that we can have a direct fight. A lot of people say that I don't see me interacting with other players, maybe it's because I think this way. ”
This afternoon, Zheng Qinwen will also face Sabalenka in the final of the martial arts Open, after losing to the Belarus woman in the previous three meetings.
In this regard, netizens have said, "Correct and reasonable is like ordinary people don't make friends in the workplace"
": Colleagues with good relationships are generally not in direct competition"
"I'm here to play, not to make friends."
"Quite sober. As well as not making friends≠ making enemies everywhere, there are many respectable opponents in the arena, and doing your best to do your best is the greatest respect for them. ”
"In fact, having such a mentality shows that Taomi is still not cruel enough, and the really cruel people can do one thing in front of one thing and one thing behind their backs"
"It's been a long time since you observed, and you're just "cruel" to her opponents, and it's good to everyone else. You see, every time she gives the ball to the caddy, she deliberately lifts the ball a little higher, so that the caddie doesn't have to bend down to pick it up, which is particularly heartwarming. Like her, I found that it was only Aka and Sinner, and the others were very casual throwing the ball to the ground for the caddie. ”
