Beijing News (chief reporter Sun Haiguang) The first round of the 2021 French Open continues this morning, Wang Qiang reversed Xie Shuwei 2-1, and the second round will be again against the American young player Gao Fu. When talking about the mental health of players who have recently been concerned by the outside world, Wang Qiang bluntly said that this season has been under great pressure, and she also hopes that the outside world can be more kind.
Facing Xie Shuwei in the first round, Wang Qiang completed the reversal 6-4, 7-5 with a first set of 2-6, and advanced to the second round while giving the opponent Red Clay 5 consecutive defeats. In the second round, Wang Qiang will fight against the American young player Gauff after a week. A week ago, at the Parma Open, Wang Qiang lost 0-2 to Gauff and missed his first title of the season.
"Today I am very patient, Xie Shuwei this player may be more difficult to play than some seeded players." Wang Qiang quipped that after losing the first set, she was already thinking about how to prepare for the grass season, "Fortunately, the coach has recently stressed to me that the clay game must be insisted on, must not give up, no matter what." You can also see my efforts in the 2nd and 3rd sets. ”
After working with Pat Cash for nearly half a year, Wang Qiang slowly found her feelings. For clay matches, Pat Cash changed some things for her, and although it was a difficult time to play, she has been actively adjusting. "Last week, what he taught me started to feed back on me, playing a little bit out of the game and seeing a pretty noticeable improvement."
When asked after the game about Naomi Osaka's retirement and the players' mental health problems, Wang Qiang bluntly said that Chinese players have been playing outside for a long time and cannot return to China, and mental health is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored.
"Because of the epidemic, everyone didn't come out to play much last year. It is not easy to leave the arena for such a long time and come back, and everyone has not won much this year. Wang Qiang said that after floating outside for such a long time and not being able to win the ball, it is a very uncomfortable psychological state for them, "Fortunately, everyone is still working hard and actively every day and every game, and please treat us a little kindly." ”
