"this year is indeed a year of ups and downs for me. the china open is one of the events i am most looking forward to. thank you to the audience who came to cheer me on. thank you for your cheers."

after the game, the host described zheng qinwen's performance as "fluent and smooth", but zheng qinwen admitted that his performance was not perfect. "my reaction on the court today was a little slow. my second serve data was good because i couldn't hit my first serve. maybe it was because the temperature dropped a bit today and it was difficult for my body to warm up at first. thank you everyone for coming to cheer me on. i see everyone wearing a down jacket to watch the game," zheng qinwen said.

in another women's singles match at the china open, no. 34 seed anisimova defeated no. 9 seed kasatkina 7-6, 6-4, maintaining a five-match win against the latter without losing a set. , successfully advanced to the top 16. this will be anisimova's second match with zheng qinwen after the first round of this year's us open. although anisimova has fallen down the world rankings due to injuries, she has performed well during this year's us open season and is regarded as a dangerous seed bomb. in the first round of the us open, zheng qinwen and anisimova fought hard in three sets and won with difficulty. at this china open, the home audience is expected to watch the grand slam level showdown between zheng qinwen and his opponents again.
