On August 17, Beijing time, the new Olympic women's singles gold medalist Zheng Qinwen faced the third round of the WTA Cincinnati women's singles competition.

Facing the Russian veteran Pavlyuchenkova, Zheng Qinwen fought hard for two sets and finally lost with a score of 5-7, 1-6. She was eliminated in the Cincinnati round of 16 for two consecutive years, and also ended her recent 12-game winning streak.

After finishing the Paris Olympics with a gold medal, Zheng Qinwen immediately entered the North American hard court season. Zheng Qinwen was not in the best physical condition when he played in Cincinnati.

Before the competition, Zheng Qinwen revealed that he had been suffering from a cold recently. "Now I can't say that my condition is 100%. Mentally I am 100% ready, but physically I still need some time to recover."

After a bye in the first round, Zheng Qinwen overcame a cold and the interruption of the game due to rain in the second round, defeating qualifier Fletcher in two sets and successfully advancing to the round of 16.

But in the third round, Zheng Qinwen, who played two matches in one day, faced Pavlyuchenkova, who had rich experience in the tour. Although the Russian, currently ranked 28th in the world, was not as good as Zheng Qinwen, who is currently ranked 7th in the world, she still won in two sets. This match was also the first time the two met in the tour.
