After the defeat of Zeng's subordinates Paulini at Wimbledon, voices about Zheng Qinwen should learn from the Italy boiled again.
The outside world hopes that Zheng Qinwen will learn from Paulini, is it just that she reached back-to-back finals at the French Open and Wimbledon, equaling Queen Serena Williams's record in 2016 and making history? Of course not!
Everyone thinks that Zheng Qinwen should learn from Paulini the most two points: how to improve and improve the ball quotient!
Zheng Qinwen has played Paulini twice before, both last year. The first time was on clay at the Palermo 250 and the second time at the Zhengzhou 500, and both times they were won by the first sister of China.
However, after entering the 2024 season, although Zheng Qinwen reached the final of the Australian Open, it seems that he has made a lot of progress, but Paulini is also improving by reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Surprisingly, in terms of improvement, Zheng Qinwen stopped after the Australian Open, but Paulini quickly impressed her with the Dubai 1000 title, and then reached back-to-back finals at the French Open and Wimbledon.
Why is the progress of the two people a little different? Some fans and netizens concluded that judging from Paulini's performance on the court, her infinite desire for victory is forcing herself to constantly summarize carefully after each loss, and then check and fill in the gaps.
Why can't Zheng Qinwen be compared to Paulini in this regard? The reason is very simple, after Zheng Qinwen reached the final of the Australian Open and realized her dream of entering the top 10 in the world in one fell swoop, she said in an interview that after achieving this goal, she felt that she suddenly lost motivation and lost that sense of hunger and thirst.
At that time, after Zheng Qinwen's words were disclosed by the media, they were regarded as a manifestation of lack of ambition, which made it difficult to imagine that a person who was almost on the lips of winning a Grand Slam championship would say such a thing.
In addition, to prevent Zheng Qinwen's progress, the outside world also summed up one point. Every time Zheng Qinwen loses, she hardly sees any introspection, always finds a bunch of reasons, everyone knows that she has a big gap with Swiatek, Rybakina, Sabalenka and Gauff, and the first Chinese sister always emphasizes that "the gap is not big".
On the other hand, Paulini is very humble every time he loses, praising his opponent's good performance and saying that he still needs to continue to work hard. It is no surprise that Paulini was able to make history at this year's French Open and Wimbledon.
As for the other ball business problem, Zheng Qinwen should learn from Paulini.
Zheng Qinwen's lack of flexibility in playing has always been criticized by the outside world, especially when encountering headwinds, most of them ended in losing.
Although Paulini's physical condition is not as good as Zheng Qinwen's, her ball quotient is really high.
For example, in the Wimbledon final against former French Open champion Krejcikova, she showed her high ball intelligence by making quick strategic adjustments after a crisp first set. Most obviously, when you know that you can't break down your opponent with a strong attack and a fast pace, you slow down your attack and use your patience to find an opportunity to break your opponent's defense, which is very effective.
This advantage of Paulini is really different from Zheng Qin's mentality of being in a hurry and always wanting to win the opponent quickly. Especially at the critical moment, she was not calm enough, and she didn't know how to use her brain when she played, and under the backdrop of Paulini, her problem was particularly obvious.
Some people bluntly said that Paulini suffered from a height of only 163, and if she had Zheng Qinwen's physical condition, coupled with fast movement and strength, she would never have won the runner-up twice when she reached the Grand Slam finals at the French Open and Wimbledon twice, and she would have won at least one championship after serving two plates.
Of course, when discussing the fact that Zheng Qinwen had to learn from Paulini, there is also a huge difference in stability between the two men. And everyone especially singled out Paulini, thinking that it is worth learning from Zheng Qinwen, not entirely because she is the former defeated of China's first sister, but that the Italy can achieve such achievements in the tennis world when the physical condition is completely unadvantageous, which is indeed worth learning from many people, and Zheng Qinwen is naturally one of them.
