Zheng Saisai said that Tomo is a real clay master, and every point is not easy, "I have watched her game, and her defense and patience will make many opponents collapse." In set 2 my strategy finally worked, I knew it would take patience in this game and I told myself to concentrate and focus on every point all the time. ”
This is the first time that Zheng Saisai has won in the French Open, and the first time he shared the good news with his mother after winning, "I am very happy to win the game at the French Open for the first time." I've never won at the French Open before, it's become my goal, I worked hard, I succeeded, I was very happy. ”
In addition to winning the first victory at the French Open, Zheng Sai also shared another good news with the media after the game, her dog "Yuanbao" just gave birth to a baby a few days ago. In the 2019 US Open, Zheng Saisai once participated with "Yuanbao".
