On August 17, China's Olympic women's singles tennis champion Zheng Qinwen played in the WTA Cincinnati 1000 tournament despite being ill. After a day of double matches, Zheng Qinwen lost to Russian player Pavlyuchenkova 5-7, 1-6 and missed the quarterfinals. Although Zheng Qinwen's 12-game winning streak from Palermo to the Olympics came to an end, her total number of wins in her career has reached 200. Next, Zheng Qinwen will adjust her body and prepare for the US Open, which will start on the 26th.
In the past month, Zheng Qinwen has experienced the busiest period of her career. After she was eliminated in the first round of this year's Wimbledon, she immediately switched from grass to clay, and competed in the Italian Palermo clay tournament as the defending champion, and successfully defended her title. Zheng Qinwen then went to Paris without stopping to compete in the Paris Olympics. In Paris, Zheng Qinwen achieved the biggest breakthrough in her career, defeating former world No. 1 Kerber and current world No. 1 Swiatek, and finally won the first Asian Olympic women's singles tennis championship.
As a professional tennis player, Zheng Qinwen will face the test of the US Open hard court season after the Olympics. She only took a short break and made her first appearance after the Olympics at the Cincinnati 1000. After arriving in Cincinnati, Zheng Qinwen's condition was not good. She revealed that she had cold and fever symptoms after the Paris Olympics. After a long flight to Cincinnati, her physical condition was still not very good, and she could only make active adjustments while training. In addition, she is also adapting to Cincinnati's lightweight match balls to find the feeling of playing on fast hard courts as soon as possible. (Beijing Youth Daily)
