Zheng Qinwen's 2024 season is like a tennis legend full of drama. From her first-round defeat at Wimbledon to her brilliant defense at the WTA 250 in Palermo, she has written a wonderful comeback story with tenacity and strength.
At the 2024 Australian Open, Zheng Qinwen looks particularly eye-catching. Her performance in the first round was amazing, and she made it all the way to the quarterfinals. In the contest against Anna · Karinskaya, she overcame various difficulties and won the competition. She then defeated Dayana · Yastremska 6-4, 6-4 in the semi-finals to reach the Grand Slam final. Although she failed to win the title, her performance still put her in the top 10 in the world rankings for the first time, and her impressive results made people look forward to her.
Yastremska's height does give her some natural advantages on the court. Standing at a height of 1.82 meters, she naturally possesses a longer reach and a higher point of impact than many opponents, which is especially important when serving and returning. As a result, she can serve faster and have more tricky angles, making it difficult for opponents to anticipate and pick up. At the same time, she has more control over where the ball lands, putting more pressure on her opponents.
In the contest, Yastremska's tall stature makes her particularly advantageous against shorter opponents. For example, her high reach can help her better cover the court while reducing the opponent's space to attack. Netizen "Tennis Lover Li Ming" mentioned on social platforms: "Yastremska's height is really a big weapon for her, every time I see her tall figure, I know that she can make her serve very threatening!" ”
Another netizen "Athlete Xiao Zhao" also commented on her height: "Her height makes her hitting point taller than many players, especially when volleying in front of the net, this advantage is particularly obvious." The player who played her will need to put in more effort to break through her defence. That perception reflects the tactical advantage that comes with her height.
Of course, some netizens put forward different opinions, believing that although height has an advantage, it will also bring some challenges. Tennis analyst Xiao Zhang said: "Although height gives her an advantage, height can also be a disadvantage in terms of fitness and mobility. She needs to be flexible on the court and avoid sluggishness due to her height. ”
Yastremska herself mentioned in an interview that height is both an advantage and a challenge for her. "Being tall has really benefited me in a lot of ways, like serving and volleying at the net, but it also requires me to work more on my flexibility and stamina on the court," she said. I train hard every day to make sure that the benefits of my height really come into play. ”
However, Wimbledon's performance dealt a blow to Zheng Qinwen. In this match, she was unexpectedly eliminated in the first round. The defeat brought a lot of psychological pressure, but she wasn't defeated. Instead, she used the opportunity to reflect on her shortcomings and make adjustments in her training and competitions afterwards. Her resilience and strength have become her motivation to take on new challenges.
Next, Zheng Qinwen performed well in the final of the WTA 250 in Palermo, defeating Mukhova to win 2-1. The victory not only earned her second title in Palermo, but also her first career title. Becoming the second Chinese mainland player after Li Na to successfully defend her WTA 250 title has made her achievements much more impressive. Fans commented on social media, with some praising her patience and skills, with netizen "Tennis Fan Xiao Zhang" writing: "Zheng Qinwen's match is really fantastic, her consistency and performance in the decisive moment are amazing!" Another netizen "Sports Mania" said: "She is so proud to defend her title in Palermo, and Zheng Qinwen's performance proves that she is indeed the future of Chinese tennis!" This achievement is not only her personal peak, but also injects new vitality into Chinese tennis. On the court of the French Open, Zheng Qinwen also performed extraordinary. In the second round, she easily defeated Kopaci 6-2, 6-2. She became only the second Chinese woman after Li Na to win eight of the season's first nine Grand Slam matches. This achievement not only made her career more brilliant, but also brought new glory to Chinese tennis.
Since turning professional in 2020, Zheng Qinwen's progress can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds. She has reached six Tour finals in just four years and won three Women's Singles titles. In 2023 and 2024, she won the WTA 250 in Palermo and the WTA 500 in Zhengzhou. Today, she is not only stable in the tour, but also a rising star of Chinese women's tennis, which has attracted much attention.
Looking ahead, Zheng Qinwen is preparing to compete in the Paris Olympics as the No. 6 seed. This event is not only an important point in her career, but also a great opportunity to show what she is capable of. Her heart is full of anticipation and nervousness, because this fight is not only the pinnacle of her career, but also a pivotal moment for her to achieve her dream.
The fans and media paid almost a warm attention to her. On social media, everyone expressed their expectations for her performance. Netizen "Xiao Li Feidao" enthusiastically commented on Weibo: "Zheng Qinwen's defense of the title in Palermo is really exciting! Her performances have proven that she is capable of doing amazing results at the Olympics and we look forward to her surprise us in Paris! This comment represents the expectations and confidence of many fans in Zheng Qinwen.
Another netizen "tennis fan" analyzed Zheng Qinwen's potential more specifically, saying that she has the possibility of hitting the gold medal: "Zheng Qinwen's skills are very mature, and her psychological quality is also very strong, especially at critical moments. She has every chance to compete for gold at the Olympics. This sentence not only reflects the affirmation of her strength, but also reveals the expectation of whether she can stay calm in the game.
When Zheng Qinwen was interviewed by the media, complex emotions gradually emerged. She understands that the Olympics are not only a test of her skills, but also a major test of her mental quality. In her pre-match preparations, she worked hard to adjust her form and make sure she could perform at her best in the competition. She knew that all eyes were on her, and that the slightest mistake would be magnified.
Zheng Qinwen's counterattack road shows her fighting spirit and unyielding perseverance. Her experience is not only the epitome of personal growth, but also the pride of Chinese women's tennis. Whether it's from the loss at Wimbledon to the defense of her title in Palermo or the upcoming Olympics, she has shown her quality and potential every step of the way.
