When it comes to Chinese Jinhua, Zheng Jie and Peng Shuai are two names that cannot be ignored. They have been in the tennis world for more than ten years, and have repeatedly sent us good news, and worked with Li Na to create the golden age of Chinese tennis. So how zheng jie peng shuai's career achievements are, compare each other's advantages and disadvantages, and look at the small editor to analyze in depth with data.
Grand Slam record: Zheng Jie has the upper hand slightly
As the highest level of tennis, the Grand Slam singles record is undoubtedly the most convincing. Zheng Jie participated in 39 Grand Slam competitions in her career, achieving a record of 52 wins and 39 losses. Peng Shuai has played a total of 43 Grand Slams, 50 wins and 43 losses, slightly inferior to Zheng Jie.
Both have the best Grand Slam singles records in the final four. Zheng Jie did this twice at Wimbledon in 2008 and the Australian Open in 2010, while Peng Shuai only reached the semi-finals once at the 2014 US Open, and neither of them had a Grand Slam quarterfinal. And looking down to the next level, in the number of top 16, Peng Shuai stopped the fourth round 6 times significantly more than Zheng Jie's three times, which shows that Peng Shuai is slightly stronger than Zheng Jie in terms of peak length and stability, and many of the following data also illustrate this.
However, for two players who have reached the final four of a Grand Slam, the number of round-16 is ultimately a less important parameter. Objectively speaking, in the Grand Slam record, Zheng Jie still has a slight upper hand.
Tour results: Both have their own strengths
As two veterans with more than a decade of experience on the WTA Tour, Zheng Jie and Peng Shuai have had many highlight moments on the tour.
Zheng Jie has won four WTA titles in the 2005 Hobart Tier 5, 2006 Estoril Ivy, 2006 Sweden Nordic Light IV and 2012 Auckland International, while Peng Shuai only won two WTA singles titles in China in 2016 Tianjin International and 2017 Nanchang International. Considering only the most important tour championship indicators, whether it is the number or quality of champions, Peng Shuai is obviously inferior to Zheng Jie.
But if you consider other excellent records, similar to the situation in the round of sixteen grand slams, Peng Shuai, who played more steadily, clearly has the upper hand. In fact, Peng Shuai reached the final four of the international (three-four-five level) competition a total of 19 times in his career, and only won two championships in the final seven times. Zheng Jie has only reached the top four of the international competition 14 times, and won four championship titles in the 6 finals, which is significantly more efficient than Peng Shuai, but the overall record may be slightly worse.
In terms of the high-level WTA Tour, in the 2005 Akula Classic (San Diego First Division), 19-year-old Peng Shuailik was in good form, Andris, China Jinhua reached the top four of the first division (equivalent to the 2009 reformed Crown and Super Five) finals, after which Peng Shuai also reached the first level (crown/super five) singles quarterfinals three times. In contrast, Zheng Jie has had three experiences in the top eight of the first level in her career, but in the end she has not been able to go any further.
In the second level (top level) competition, Peng Shuai also has a slight advantage. Peng Shuai has reached the top four six times, including two runners-up in Brussels in 2011 and 2013. Zheng Jie has only reached the top four three times, including only one top runner-up in Warsaw in 2010.
On the whole, Zheng Jie's overall record of the Tour (including ITF) is 384 wins and 266 losses of 59.08%, which is slightly worse than Peng Shuai's 459 wins and 261 loss rate of 61.20%. Therefore, Zheng Jie only has the advantage in the most important number of tour champions, and Peng Shuai is not behind in almost all other data, and the two can be said to have their own advantages.
Other stats: Peng Shuai is slightly ahead
In the world ranking dimension, Zheng Jie's career highest ranking is 15th, Peng Shuai is 14th, and Peng Shuai is slightly ahead of 1. In terms of peak length, Zheng Jie's Top 20 weeks were 27 weeks, while Peng Shuai's career Top 20 weeks were as long as 46 weeks. Considering that Peng Shuai's current world ranking is still in the Top30, the gap between the two may still be further expanded in the future.
In terms of the number of defeats against the Top 10 players, Peng Shuai also led Zheng Jie 14-12. However, it should be noted that the highest ranking defeated by Peng Shuai is only the third in the world, and Zheng Jie has beaten the world first twice.
The total career bonus Peng Shuai led Zheng Jie's 6157773 US dollars with 8739538 US dollars, considering the difference in career length between the two and the impact of inflation, the actual gap between the two is not as large as the total bonus shows, and Peng Shuai is also only a slight lead.
Doubles record: Peng Shuai slightly suppressed
As we all know, Zheng Jie and Peng Shuai are double-handed, Zheng Jie won two Grand Slams at the 2006 Australian Open and Wimbledon, while Peng Shuai won two times at Wimbledon in 2013 and the French Open in 2014. In terms of tour champions, Zheng Jie has won a total of 13 WTA doubles titles in her career, including three first-class (Crown/Super Five) championships in Berlin in 2006, New Haven in 2006 and Roma (partner Peng Shuai) in 2011. Peng Shuai has won a total of 19 WTA championship titles, including 8 first-class championships and one year-end finals champion, which is significantly stronger than Zheng Jie in terms of both the number of champions and the quality of champions.
Because of the difference between the two in high-level doubles events, Peng Shuai successfully reached the top of the WTA women's doubles rankings on February 17, 2014, and Zheng Jie was suppressed by Stother Raymond, who won 10 titles in a single season, even in the peak of 2006, and the highest doubles ranking was unfortunately fixed as the third in the world.
On the doubles record, the number of grand slam titles between the two was equal, and Peng Shuai slightly suppressed Zheng Jie with the advantage of the highest ranking and the number of tour titles.
Summary: Why be more true
In summary, peng Shuai and Zheng Jie's career achievements are not much different, the indicators are only between Bo Zhong, the above so-called slightly superior slight suppression, only one or two rankings or missing a few excellent records, there is no essential difference.
In fact, Peng Shuai and Zheng Jie may not be a type of player. Peng Shuai's absolute strength has a slight upper hand, and he has a slightly more excellent record and a small advantage in ranking; but Zheng Jie's ability to seize opportunities is significantly stronger, and the two most important data tour championships and Grand Slam records are slightly superior. This difference may be closely related to the growth path of the two players.
Zheng Jie's growth process is quite tortuous. Due to the limited physical fitness, he has not been optimistic since he was a child, and can only gain the respect of others by virtue of his achievements on the field, and this growth process has refined Zheng Jie's tenacious will quality. In the game that can determine the fate of her career, Zheng Jie can often have an unexpected performance. For example, yi Jingqian, a domestic sister in the quarterfinals of the Nine Games, entered the national team in one battle; and after the initial recovery from a major injury in 2008, he participated in Wimbledon with a wild card, and swept the momentum of the new world's no. 1 Ivanovic in the third round of the third round without being optimistic about everyone, announcing his return to the tour with a clean and neat victory.
Peng Shuai, on the other hand, debuted as a talented girl, grew up smoothly in the early days, and emerged on the tour at the age of 19, showing strong competitiveness in the early years. However, it was affected by off-field events many times, exposing the problem of insufficient psychological endurance, and there were obvious psychological fluctuations in many important matches, such as the fourth round of the Australian Open in 2011, Peng Shuai lost two match points to defeat A La, and lost his first Grand Slam quarterfinals. It was only in recent years that the elderly Peng Shuai gradually matured and finally broke his WTA crownless spell in 2016.
Zheng Jie vs Peng Shuai, who is the second sister of Jinhua, I am afraid that every tennis fan may have their own answer in their hearts, some people like Zheng Jie's tenacity and indomitability, emphasizing the weight of one more Grand Slam final four, and some people are more concerned about Peng Shuai's doubles world number one. But in the final analysis, both are proud of the golden flower, and every excellent record has brought us endless surprises. Zheng Jie vs Peng Shuai, why be more true!
