On October 5, it was reported that in the women's singles semifinals of the China Open that ended on October 5, the No. 5 seed and Chinese player Zheng Qinwen accidentally fell in the first set of the duel and injured his finger, losing 0-2 to Czech player Mukhova and missing the China Open women's singles final. After the game, Zheng Qinwen said in an interview that he made a wrong decision last night and should not have treatment and rested.
Zheng Qinwen accidentally slipped his left foot when saving a break point in the sixth game of the first set, causing his body to lose his balance and injuring his finger when he held the ground with his right hand.
Although he was able to continue playing after treatment, it was clear that Zheng Qinwen's confidence, form and rhythm were greatly affected.
Going into the second set, Mukhova broke first. Zheng Qinwen, who was behind, was always looking for opportunities, but Mukhova was very consistent. Zheng Qinwen has been holding on to the court, and there is an excellent performance in saving two match points in the final stage, but Mukhova, who has been stable and excellent throughout the court, won the second set 6-4 and advanced to the final with a big score of 2-0.
After the game, Zheng Qinwen responded to the reason for the fall, "I know very well why I fell, maybe it's because I don't concentrate very much, I feel too tired, my mental strength is not very sufficient, maybe my feet didn't step on it at that time, and then of course it hurts after falling, my palms are also blue, and my three fingers are also broken and bleeding, including falling to the left buttocks, which may not be very comfortable, or a little bit that I can't run later." But the main thing is that I don't feel very mentally strong, because I always feel like I haven't slept well. ”
She also believes that it may have been a mistake to put the treatment late yesterday, "If I could have had more rest, I might have played better today." I probably made the wrong decision last night and shouldn't have had my treatment done so late, and if I had rested more, I might have played a little bit better today. Because I clearly feel today that my physical and mental state is not at my peak, I always feel that it is difficult to concentrate! When I'm not focused, it's hard to struggle. I think I can do better, but I think I still have to look in the right direction, and I'm still very satisfied with the results of the China Open! ”
In this regard, netizens have said, "The interval between the two games is less than 24 hours, and the schedule is too dense"
"China Net No. 2 forcibly arranged Xiao Zheng to play in the finale, but it was 12 o'clock in the evening after the game, which directly affected the work and rest and the next day's training, and it was very cold that night, and it was estimated that he had a cold at that time. Normally it should be the finale of the men's singles final."
"Zheng Qinwen returned to the hotel yesterday at three o'clock in the morning"
"Tennis players have a lot of matches to play every year, and it's normal to win and lose. It's not a table tennis competition, and China can win the championship every time. With such a high degree of commercialization in tennis, there are so many excellent players, it is impossible to win all the time, and it is already great to be able to enter the semi-finals, please look at the winning and losing of tennis matches with a normal heart."
"Every time the game is summed up well, it is really down-to-earth, and it will definitely go further and further."
