on august 31, beijing time, in the third round of the 2024 us open women's singles, no. 7 seed chinese player zheng qinwen won two straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-1, easily defeating german player niemeyer and advancing to the top 16 at the us open for two consecutive years.

before this game, zheng qinwen and niemeyer had played against each other three times, with niemeyer having a slight advantage with 2 wins and 1 loss. the two met for the first time in a grand slam tournament at the 2022 us open, with zheng qinwen losing 0:2 to his opponent and failing to reach the top 16.

in the next round, zheng qinwen will face her opponent in the paris olympics women's singles final, croatian player vekic. just over half a month ago, zheng qinwen defeated vekic in straight sets and won a precious olympic gold medal for the chinese delegation and chinese women's tennis.

in a post-match interview, zheng qinwen said that he had a lot of energy and physical problems after the olympics, and played a very good game today. two years ago, when he lost to niemeyer, he cried for an hour at about 3 a.m., but he didn't have to cry after winning. during the game, i heard someone shouting "come on" to me in chinese, and i felt a lot of motivation. thank you, thank you for your support.

afterwards, zheng qinwen also updated his social media: sweet 16, #zheng qinwen's zheng is in progress#.

well-known commentator zhan jun commented on the match after the match: successful revenge! the word "fierce" of german "fierce woman" niemeyer became a little "dazed" under zheng qinwen's all-out offensive suppression... zheng qinwen was very stable in this match, especially in serving and handling key points, which showed the style of a great general. looking forward to continuing to move forward steadily!
