For Zheng Qinwen, this opponent is not easy to mess with, and for this game, CCTV5 arranged a live broadcast, and fans should not miss it.
Paulini: It's too strong to be underestimated
Paulini, the Italy tinker, has been impressive this season. She reached back-to-back finals at the French Open and Wimbledon Grand Slam tournaments, and although she didn't win the title, it was a testament to her strength and form. In addition, at the Dubai 1000, Paulini managed to reach the top and win his first title of the season. These accolades not only gave her a huge boost to her self-confidence, but also made her a presence that could not be ignored by all opponents.
Paulini's style of play is tough, his skills are comprehensive, and he shows a very high level of both baseline attacks and volleys in front of the net. Her serve is one of her great weapons, often scoring straight points or creating opportunities for the next attack. In the face of such an opponent, Zheng Qinwen needs to be fully prepared, especially in the return and baseline defense, and must show the best form to deal with it.
Zheng Qinwen: I have never lost to my opponent, and I went all out to reach the top 4
For Zheng Qinwen, the confrontation with Paulini is no stranger. In the previous two duels between the two, Zheng Qinwen won both times, which undoubtedly added a lot of confidence to her. Especially in the final of the first championship of his career in Palermo, Zheng Qinwen defeated Paulini with his outstanding performance and was successfully crowned. Such a historical record is not only an affirmation of Zheng Qinwen's strength, but also an important experience for her psychological quality.
However, historical results do not determine future results. Paulini has been on a hot streak lately, and Zheng Qinwen also needs to face both physical and psychological pressure. Especially in a high-level event like the Wuhan Open, every match is a challenge to the limits of the players. Zheng Qinwen needs to keep a cool head, give full play to his technical advantages, and at the same time make targeted deployment to Paulini in order to gain the upper hand in this crucial battle.
How to defeat the enemy? Zheng Qinwen can fight like this
From the perspective of technical characteristics, Zheng Qinwen has excellent serving and baseline holding ability, and her forehand attack is particularly sharp. In the match, she should make the most of her serve and put pressure on Paulini's return. At the same time, in the bottom-line stalemate stage, Zheng Qinwen needs to remain patient, mobilize opponents through accurate landing points and changeable lines, and look for offensive opportunities.
Psychologically, Zheng Qinwen needs to maintain a high level of focus and self-confidence. Against the formidable Paulini, the slightest wavering could be an opportunity for the opponent to fight back. She needs to believe in her own strength and preparation, and see every shot as a quest for victory. In addition, Zheng Qinwen also needs to be prepared to deal with adversity, and be able to adjust his mentality in time when he encounters difficulties in the game and maintain a stable performance.
Zheng Qinwen and Paulini's Wuhan Open quarterfinals are undoubtedly a key battle. For Zheng, this is not only an important step in her career to new heights, but also a great opportunity to test her recent training results and ability to adjust her mindset. Regardless of the outcome, we should all applaud the performances of these two top women.
