News on October 12, at 19 o'clock in the evening of October 12, Zheng Qinwen in the semifinals of the Wuhan Open tennis tournament will face Wang Xinyu.
Zheng Qinwen said in an interview after advancing to the semifinals of the Wuhan Open that he was angry several times at the US Open because of his poor sparring level: "When I was at the US Open, I was really angry because of the bad level of sparring, and then I was angry a few times, and I strained myself during training, because of the bad mentality that led to such a situation." But then I thought about it, it really shouldn't be, because the level of sparring is not good, and the more I ask for sparring, the more nervous he will become. Actually, when I was in China, I found some good sparring partners, and sparring was really important to me, but now I work with my coach before the tournament because his level is very good, and I feel good at the moment. ”
Previously, Kong Weiyi, a 16-year-old player from the Beijing team, once served as a sparring partner for Zheng Qinwen, Kong Weiyi said about the sparring work, "Among the female players I have served as a sparring partner, her ball is the heaviest and most threatening. The content of our sparring is not known or prepared in advance, and it is basically decided on an ad hoc basis according to the situation at that time. I just need to play at my own level normally, and Zheng Qinwen rarely makes extra requests. As far as I am concerned, it is my job and my responsibility to help her stay in shape and achieve good results, and I can also broaden my horizons and increase my knowledge while making my own contributions. ”
It is worth mentioning that Zheng Qinwen's main sparring partner is Zhang Yiwei, a young player from Hubei who is also from her, and the cooperation between the two in the Chinese season last year has achieved good results, helping Zheng Qinwen to break into the final at the end of the year in Zhuhai, and won the Hangzhou Asian Games championship.
In this regard, netizens said, "What does the woman in the team do?"
"Foreign countries will not give us good configurations, including stadium arrangements, this is a routine operation"
"Taomee's interview is really informative, you can know the training life of athletes off the field"
"The level of sparring is too poor, who is sparring whom?"
": No wonder the tantrum at the sparring partner was stopped by the coach."
"It's not good to say that the sparring is not good, the players themselves have the right to speak, and the sparring partner that Zheng Qinwen paid for is not good, can't he complain?"
"Indeed, for top players, good sparring often gets twice the result with half the effort, so many boxing champions and champion teams do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite gold medal sparring, it is no exaggeration to say that these sparring partners are the heroes behind the scenes, so that there is an imbalance between supply and demand that champions are easy to find and sparring partners are difficult to find...... ”
