No one expected that the biggest upset at Wimbledon this year so far was "made" by China's first sister Zheng Qinwen. In the duel with qualifier Sun Lulu, Zheng Qinwen won one set and then lost two sets in a row, of which the deciding set not only failed to get one break point, but also gave the opponent a double fault gift at the end of the match to send the opponent to advance to the next round.
In the first round of the Wimbledon women's singles, the No. 8 seed Zheng Qinwen faced the Chinese player Sun Lulu from New Zealand. At present, Zheng Qinwen is ranked 8th in the world and his opponent is 123. Sun Lulu played her first Grand Slam main draw at this year's Australian Open, but stopped in the first round. At Wimbledon this year, she qualified for the main draw through three rounds of qualifying. Zheng Qinwen is the runner-up of this year's Australian Open, and he also reached the third round of the French Open, and broke into the third round of Wimbledon in his first match two years ago. However, at Wimbledon last year, Zheng Qinwen was in a sluggish state and was upset in the first round.
In the first set, Zheng Qinwen entered the state quickly and broke first in the 5th game. But Sun Lulu quickly broke back in the 6th game. In the crucial 7th game, Zheng Qinwen broke serve again and won 6-4. In the second set, Zheng Qinwen's state suddenly fell sharply, and he lost two service games in a row at the end of the set, and was tied by the opponent 6-2.
In the deciding set, the score of the two has been tight, and they each held serve in the first 9 games. In the crucial 10th game, Zheng Qinwen suddenly collapsed under huge pressure, and after losing 4 points in a row, he sent the only break in the set, and the match point also issued a double fault, and finally lost 1 more set 4-6, and the big score was 1-2.
In the whole match, although Zheng Qinwen had 7 aces, he also had as many as 8 double faults, with a first-serve scoring rate of 52%, a first-serve scoring rate of 76%, and 2 of the 8 break points. For Sun, the win was great, as it was her first Grand Slam main draw win and her first career top-10 victory. But unexpectedly, Zheng Qinwen, as the first sister in China, became the background board for her breakthrough.
