Sympathy? Sabalenka regrets Zheng Qinwen's exit from the Australian Open: Very sad! It didn't make it easy for me to sign the form

On January 15, Beijing time, Sabalenka responded in an interview to Zheng Qinwen's opinion on the upset of the Australian Open. The women's singles world No. 1 bluntly said that she was very sad about this, and bluntly said that after Zheng Qinwen is out, her draw will not become easier.

Sabalenka said: "I was sad to see that Chinwen had lost. It's a Grand Slam tournament and not everyone can handle those mentalities and emotions well. ”

The current world No. 1 bluntly said that his road to the title will not be easier without the challenge of Zheng Qinwen on the way to qualification: "As you can see, there are many players who play well in these conditions. It's not that if Zheng Qinwen and the others lose, it will be easier for me to sign the table, it's not like that. ”

Sabalenka also said that she will not take the next opponent lightly and will give it her all to fight every game: "Today's match proved that. The other girls can play fearlessly and there is nothing to lose. They can put you in a very bad position. You have to let go and put your best foot forward. As you said, I prefer to concentrate step by step. I really enjoy the feeling of competition, which is something I focus on. ”

Previously, according to the drawing arrangement, Zheng Qinwen and Sabalenka would have met again in the quarterfinals. The two have met five times before, and Sabalenka has won all of them, dropping only one set. After Sabalenka reached the top 32, her goal was naturally to achieve three consecutive Australian Open titles.
