Zheng Qinwen fought hard for three sets and entered the top four

In the just concluded Paris Olympics women's tennis singles quarter-finals, Chinese teenager Zheng Qinwen fought hard for three sets and defeated former world No. 1 and German star Kerber 2:1. While rushing into the semi-finals, Zheng Qinwen is also expected to create the best record of Chinese women's singles players in the Olympics. Previously, the best record of Chinese women's singles was still Li Na's fourth place in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The last dance of the former world number one

The tennis competition of the Paris Olympics will be held at Roland Garros Stadium, the venue of the French Open, from July 27 to August 4. According to the list of participants confirmed by the International Tennis Federation, 184 athletes from 41 countries and regions will compete for medals in five events: men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles.

Although the Chinese women's singles team is composed of four young players who are participating in the Olympics for the first time, they are also one of the six teams that have full quotas in the women's singles event of this Olympics. Before the game, Zheng Qinwen, Yuan Yue, Wang Xinyu and Wang Xiyu shouldered the heavy responsibility of hitting medals. Zheng Qinwen, currently ranked 8th in the world, is undoubtedly the most promising player among them. She won the women's singles runner-up in this year's Australian Open, setting a personal best. In this Olympics, she is ranked No. 6 seed.

In the first round, she defeated Italian veteran Errani in straight sets with a score of 6:0, 6:0. In the second round, Zheng Qinwen faced Dutch veteran Ruth. After two fierce battles, she finally won with a score of 6:2, 6:4 and advanced to the top 16 of the women's singles tennis.

In the third round of the women's singles tennis match at the Paris Olympics, China's Zheng Qinwen defeated the American player Navarro 2-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

In the third round, Zheng Qinwen faced a strong challenge from American player Navarro. After losing the first set, she made a big comeback with 6:7 (7), 7:6 (4), 6:1 and advanced to the quarterfinals of this tournament.

In the quarterfinals, she met former world No. 1 and German star Angelique Kerber. Born in 1988, Kerber is now a 36-year-old veteran. She has participated in the Olympics three times and won the silver medal in women's singles tennis at the Rio Olympics. Before the game, she announced that she would end her professional career after the Olympics, which means that this game is her "last dance" on the court.

Facing such an experienced veteran, Zheng Qinwen, who is only 21 years old, had a hard time in the game. In the first set, both sides broke serve many times, dragging the game into a tiebreak, and Zheng Qinwen lost with a score of 4:7. In the second set, she adjusted her state and won with a score of 6:4. The two sides were in a tug-of-war many times in these two sets, and both games took 53 minutes. It can be said that it was a double competition of willpower and technology.

The tense situation continued into the deciding set. After being broken first, Zheng Qinwen chased the score to 6:6 and entered the tiebreak again.

At this time, the game had reached a tense and intense stage. As his opponent's physical strength declined, Zheng Qinwen gradually gained the upper hand in the tiebreak and took the lead in getting three match points. However, the tenacious German once again dragged the game into a draw. Finally, when the fourth match point came, Zheng Qinwen seized the opportunity and won the battle that took a full 3 hours and 4 minutes.

Throughout the entire match, Zheng Qinwen made 49 unforced errors, 20 more than his opponent, and his first serve success rate was only 47%. If Zheng Qinwen wants to achieve good results in subsequent matches, he must adjust his tactics and state in time.

The last time I stood on the podium was at the Beijing Olympics.

After the game, the young Zheng Qinwen shed tears of excitement. She made it to the top four in her first Olympic Games. She is expected to create new records for Chinese women's tennis in the next games.

In this event that has long been dominated by European and American powerhouses, Chinese players have not been able to step onto the Olympic podium for 16 years.

At the Beijing Olympics, Li Na won fourth place, creating the best record in the history of the Chinese women's singles team.

Zheng Jie and Yan Zi won a precious bronze medal in the doubles competition. This was the last time that Chinese tennis stood on the podium in the Olympic Games.

In order to ensure her performance in singles, Zheng Qinwen withdrew from the mixed doubles before the game. According to the original schedule, after winning three sets in the third round of women's singles, Zheng Qinwen would immediately play in the mixed doubles, and the next day she would play in the quarter-finals with Kerber. Faced with such a tight schedule, Zheng Qinwen had no choice but to give up the mixed doubles and focus on the women's singles.

This decision was also supported by her partner Zhang Zhizhen. "I can understand why Zheng Qinwen couldn't come. After all, she just played three sets in singles. She and I are both singles athletes. So if it were me, I would probably give up mixed doubles."

Zheng Qinwen's efforts finally paid off. After tying the best record created by Li Na, she is expected to rewrite the history of Chinese women's tennis. I hope she can bring more surprises to everyone in the next games!
