in the early hours of september 21, zheng qinwen, the chinese women's tennis olympic champion, returned to beijing. in the previous 24 hours, zheng qinwen participated in the hubei olympic summary and commendation conference and other activities. next, she will continue to prepare for the china open, which will start on september 25.
in the previous 24 hours, zheng qinwen was a "frequent flyer", traveling back and forth between wuhan, hubei and beijing. this was zheng qinwen's first time back to his hometown hubei after winning the paris olympics. zheng qinwen stayed in wuhan for only 24 hours this time, attending the hubei olympic summary and commendation conference, and participating in activities such as olympic champions going to the grassroots and visiting universities.
after returning to his hometown in hubei, zheng qinwen was pleasantly surprised by the carefully prepared welcome ceremony and exclaimed, "what a grand occasion!" zheng qinwen said that he had not been back for two or three years. this time when he returned to his hometown, zheng qinwen tasted hubei lotus root and pork ribs soup, sesame balls and xiangyang beef noodles, which brought back the taste of his childhood.
at the hubei province olympic athletes commendation conference, hubei-born olympic champions zheng qinwen and wang zongyuan, chang yani, sun jiajun, liu shiming and zheng shan were awarded individual merit awards and bonuses.
afterwards, zheng qinwen, together with paris olympic diving women's synchronized 3-meter springboard champion chang yani and paris olympic kayaking women's 500-meter double rowing champion sun mengya, returned to their alma mater as students of huazhong university of science and technology, received the school's commendation, and met and interacted with about 2,000 teachers and students. after finishing the interaction with the students, zheng qinwen returned to beijing overnight to continue preparing for the china open.
as a seeded player of the china open, zheng qinwen had a bye in the first round and her first match will not be played until september 27 or 28. zheng qinwen came to the china open on september 11 to prepare for the match. the fact that she came to train so early shows that she attaches great importance to this year's china open and the chinese season.
during the china open training, zheng qinwen specially invited two chinese male players to serve as sparring partners. one of the sparring partners is zhang yiwei, a young player from hubei. last year, the cooperation between zhang yiwei and zheng qinwen achieved good results and helped zheng qinwen enter the finals in zhuhai.
zheng qinwen has previously stated that she will work hard in this year's china season. she will participate in the wta1000 china open, wta1000 wuhan open and wta500 ningbo open. zheng qinwen's important goal in the china season is to try her best to win points and strive to enter this year's wta year-end finals.
the 2024 wta finals will be held in riyadh, saudi arabia from november 2 to 9, with a total prize of 15.25 million us dollars, setting a historical record. if zheng qinwen wants to enter the year-end finals, he needs to strive to go further and win more points in the beijing, wuhan and ningbo tournaments. last year, zheng qinwen was eliminated in the first round of the china open and won the subsequent zhengzhou open. this year, the zhengzhou open was replaced by the ningbo open, and the wuhan 1000 open returned to the schedule. zheng qinwen, who returned to his motherland, still has plenty of opportunities to increase his points.
