After the release of the latest WTA world rankings, it seems that everything is calm, but in fact, Zheng Qinwen's crisis has really arrived.

As the top 10 players chose to rest after the Australian Open, the Linz 500 and Singapore 250 were without big stars, and even if Alexandrova and Mertens both won the championship, it did not have any impact on the top 10 rankings.

But from this week, the situation is completely different, especially the test for Zheng Qinwen has officially begun, if she wants to consolidate her top 10 rankings in the world, she should really think carefully about where to go next.

In this week's Abu Dhabi 500, Rybakina and Badosa are two of the top 10 players in the draw, with world No.11 Kasatkina also opting to play in the tournament.

In fact, Rybakina is currently ranked in front of Zheng Qinwen, and what results she plays in Abu Dhabi will not affect Zheng Qinwen's ranking, but Badosa and Kasatkina are completely different.

Zheng Qinwen, who is currently ranked eighth with 4,095 points, has 507 points more than Badosa, who is ranked tenth with 3,588 points, and 774 points more than Kasatkina, who is ranked eleventh with 3,321 points. Their performance in Abu Dhabi will have a great impact on Zheng Qinwen's ranking.

However, because Zheng Qinwen is not under much pressure to keep points, even if Badosa and Kasatkina perform well in Abu Dhabi, they will not be able to overtake Zheng Qinwen, and it can be said that after the end of this week, there will be no change in the world ranking of China's first sister in the world. However, if Badosa and Kasatkina do well in Abu Dhabi and close the points gap between the two sides, then Zheng Qinwen will be under very much pressure to keep the points from next week's Doha.

Judging from the participation plan announced by Zheng Qinwen, after the Australian Open, she will participate in four 1000 tournaments in Doha, Dubai, Indian Wells and Miami. If the Chinese sister wants to consolidate her top 10 ranking, she must strive to reach deeper rounds from the Doha 1000 tournament, otherwise she may soon fall out of the top 10 in the world once the people behind rush up.

Judging from the current lineup of the Doha 1000 announced by the media, among the top 10 players in the world, except for the American star Keith, who just won the Australian Open, will retire, everyone else will appear. This fully shows that after the end of the Australian Open, on the one hand, the top ten girls want to show their strength in the first 1000 tournament of the new season, hoping to play well; On the other hand, it also puts forward higher requirements for Zheng Qinwen in disguise, in order to avoid falling out of the top ten in the world after the Doha 1000 tournament, he must quickly get rid of the shadow of the second round of the Australian Open, and fight with all the masters.

When Zheng Qinwen's ranking crisis did not show a serious trend, fans of the previous Chinese sister were optimistic that if Zheng Qinwen could win the four 1000 championships in Doha, Dubai, Indian Wells and Miami in one go, then she could quickly realize her dream of becoming the world's No. 1.

However, in terms of the current harsh facts of the Doha tournament, Zheng Qinwen is not only sure of winning against Navarro and Bolini, not to mention Sabalenka, Swiatek, Gauff and Rybakina, who are the most troublesome opponents of the Chinese first sister, I am afraid that Zheng Qinwen may not have any hope of winning against Pegula and Badosa.

However, in the eyes of Zheng Qinwen's fans, if it is difficult for Zheng Qinwen to enter a deeper round or win the championship because of the nine top ten players in the world in the Doha Race, it will be a bit ambitious for others and destroy his own prestige.

The main reason why fans of the first sister of China are so confident is that Pereriba has undergone surgery and is recovering well, and he is currently reunited with Zheng Qinwen.

In addition, Zheng Qinwen did not play well at the Australian Open, falling from last year's runner-up to the round of 64, which in the eyes of fans is related to the temporary change of coach that has affected the mentality and training quality of China's first sister. Now that Pereriba is back, Zheng Qinwen naturally has more confidence to defeat any opponent, even if the Doha 1000 is a strong player such as Linna, "The title of Olympic champion is not for nothing, Xiao Zheng has the strength to defeat any opponent." ”

Although fans are very confident in Zheng Qinwen's trip to Doha, many still believe that this 1000 tournament is the best stage to truly test Zheng Qinwen's current strength.

After losing the Australian Open, Zheng Qinwen said that he was subject to injury, and even thought about quitting the Australian Open at one point, but he was forced to appear with an injury because it was a Grand Slam. Now, after a break from this period, it is believed that Zheng Qinwen's injury is no longer in serious trouble, and if she can reach a deeper round in Doha, it means that the loss at the Australian Open could be a real surprise.

Of course, if Zheng Qinwen can't achieve good results in Doha, then in the next Dubai 1000 competition, judging from the appearance of nine of the top ten players in Doha, it is estimated that Dubai's competition will not be weak, and the pressure on China's first sister may be even greater.

If you can't seize the opportunity to increase points in Doha and Dubai, once you fall out of the top 10 in the world, from the current competition in women's tennis is becoming more and more fierce, Zheng Qinwen really has to show absolute hard power if she wants to return to the top 10 in the world.(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
