On August 27, Beijing time, in the first round of the US Open women's singles, Olympic gold medalist and No. 7 seed Zheng Qinwen defeated local wildcard player Anisimova 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 and will face Andreeva in the second round. ​​​After the game, her interview was also very interesting.

In the first set, Zheng Qinwen fell behind at the beginning, and although she chased from 1-5 to 4-5, she still lost in the end. In the second set, she hit aces many times and successfully tied the score. In the third set, Anisimova seemed to have an injury in her right hand but insisted on playing, and Zheng Qinwen finally completed the reversal.

In this regard, Zheng Qinwen said after the game: "Her shots today were great, and the angles were all off. At the beginning, every shot was in bounds, and I really couldn't do anything. In addition, I didn't have a first serve in the opening stage. But as the game progressed, I gradually found the hard court rhythm. In the second set, I became more confident in my shots, began to become more stable, and the success rate of my serves was higher. Just like that, I got my rhythm back little by little. But I also want to say that Anisimova did a really good job today and played well."

Then, the host congratulated Zheng Qinwen on winning the Olympic women's singles gold medal. Zheng Qinwen said: "It is a very special feeling to win honor for my country. Especially after going through 6 tough matches and 6 consecutive days of non-stop. Looking back now, I don't know how I survived mentally. I just kept pushing myself. It was really an incredible journey."

She also teased Djokovic: "Like you said, I don't have a gold medal. But I know Djokovic has a gold medal, which is really great. I want to say that I am happy for what I have done in the past when I came here to participate in the US Open, but now I want to focus on here. Thank you to the audience for coming here to support me. Thank you to all the Chinese fans."

Finally, Zheng Qinwen expressed his gratitude in Chinese: "Thank you for your support, thank you."
