On July 1, Beijing time, on the first day of the Wimbledon Tennis Open, Zheng Qinwen, the No. 8 seed of the Chinese Wimbledon, faced New Zealand's Sun Lulu in the first round, Sun Lulu's world ranking is currently ranked 123rd, and Zheng Qinwen is significantly ahead of his opponent in strength. The two have not played each other before, and Zheng is expected to win the match comfortably.
After an hour and a half of fierce three-game battle, Zheng Qinwen was reversed by his opponent 6:4, 2:6, 4:6 and stopped in the first round of Wimbledon. After the game, Zheng Qinwen summarized the following three reasons for the loss of the game: first, there was an arm injury, which affected the action of hitting the ball; 2. The left eye is swollen, which affects the judgment of hitting the ball; 3. Mistakes in key points will bury the game. The three reasons summarized by Zheng Qinwen all exist, especially Zheng Qinwen's double fault on the match point, which is the most pity.
Zheng Qinwen did not play well in the game, and at the same time, she also lost the perfect opportunity to advance to the semifinals of this Wimbledon, because the No. 3 seed Sabalenka withdrew due to injury, so there are no big seeds in the same half, which was the best opportunity for Zheng Qinwen, but unfortunately did not take it. The three reasons mentioned by Zheng Qinwen do exist, especially the swollen eyes, which can be seen in the picture, but these are not the root causes of Zheng Qinwen's loss.
The reason why Zheng Qinwen lost this match was mainly because Zheng Qinwen adjusted his serving technique. Everyone knows that Zheng Qinwen's first serve was particularly unstable in the past, and the success rate of the first serve was only maintained at about 50%, but Zheng Qinwen's serve was extremely threatening, and her number of aces in a single game once reached 23. Because Zheng Qinwen's bottom-line ability is insufficient, Zheng Qinwen used a strong serve to make up for the whole defect, which is also the primary reason why Zheng Qinwen can rush to the 7th place in the world rankings.
However, in this Wimbledon competition, Zheng Qinwen's serve took the initiative to slow down, thereby improving the success rate of the first serve, but at the same time reducing the threat of serving, which may be counterproductive for Zheng Qinwen, who is not strong in the bottom line, and it is worth the loss. It can be seen from the data of Zheng Qinwen's game in this game that although Zheng Qinwen's success rate of one serve has increased significantly, and there are still 7 ace balls, Zheng Qinwen's double faults are still many to 5, and it is easy to fall into a tug-of-war with the opponent when the threat of serving is reduced, which is fatal to Zheng Qinwen.
It is not very smart to adjust your tactics in the event of a competition, and the technical improvement should be gradual, and you should start with the low-level game, watch the effect of the game, and make appropriate adjustments. But Zheng Qinwen is still very young, Zheng Qinwen still has a long way to go in the future, don't care about temporary gains and losses, sum up experience, improve skills, Zheng Qinwen is still the most promising player in Chinese tennis to win the Grand Slam, let us look forward to this day coming as soon as possible!
