Although Zheng Qinwen said goodbye to Madrid in advance, the related topics caused by the first sister in China have just become hot!
Until now, when it comes to Zheng Qinwen's debut performance in Madrid, many people are still disappointed. Some people bluntly said that if Wang Xinyu was affected by injury and lost, and Buyun Chaoket was not good at clay battles and lost, then Zheng Qinwen was defeated by Potapova in two sets, which is indeed a little unreasonable.
Zheng Qinwen has been trained in Spain since he was a child, and he has always been considered by everyone to be a player who grew up on clay.
Why were many people so surprised by Zheng's defeat after the game? It felt like her abilities had regressed.
I remember that at the Paris Olympics last year, after Zheng Qinwen shouted that she could fight for her country for another three hours, her patience and tenacity when competing with her opponents on the clay court allowed her to save herself many times when she was in danger, and also laid the foundation for her later gold medals.
However, this time in the Madrid debut against Potapova, Zheng Qinwen always wanted to beat his opponent to death with one shot, completely ignoring Potapova's tenacity. Then, when it can't be attacked and can't be prevented, it is not surprising that it is still forced to change the line, and mistakes follow one after another.
Another thing that puzzled everyone was that, as a player who relied too much on the serve, when this important weapon was dumbfounded, Zheng Qinwen could not see any other strategies to deal with it, so he could only sit back and wait for the defeat to swallow himself a little bit, which is not at all like the ability that a top player in the top 10 in the world should have.
Although Zheng Qinwen caused a lot of shock on the public opinion side after the loss, but this time the first sister of China emphasized after the game that the injury had no impact on the performance on the field, and directly skipped the pit that many people speculated before the game that they would find reasons for losing.
From the pre-game favorites to break through Potapova, there is no suspense, to the final being given a round by the Russian beauty, thinking of Wang Xinyu and Buyun Chaokert, who are also unable to escape the fate of the first round, once again made fans and netizens shout "I can't afford to hurt".
Of course, although Zheng Qinwen played a game that many people said was unacceptable and extremely bad, the Chinese first sister's trip to Madrid was not for nothing, and she still received a lot of good news.
After the draw came out, seeing that Zheng Qinwen's potential opponent was the Spanish beauty Bardosa, many people were still worried about whether the Chinese first sister would be able to keep the eighth ranking in the world at that time, and whether Zheng Qinwen could keep his top ten rankings after the Madrid 1000 tournament.
Now, with Badosa unexpectedly withdrawing from the tournament and Rybakina having been deducted from last year's runner-up points, even if Zheng Qinwen has suffered a round of defeat, it is already certain that she has retained her ranking in the world's top 10.
The wave of invisible benefits that Bardosa and Rybakina indirectly brought to Zheng Qinwen also brought another good news to her, that is, no matter how well the rich American girl Navarro played in Madrid, it was difficult to pose any threat to Zheng Qinwen's ranking. At the time of the latest news, Navarro was already out, losing to Vekic .
Zheng Qinwen, who was defeated, reaped the benefits, as did Potapova, who won.
With her victory over Zheng Qinwen, she also made a major breakthrough in the Russian beauty's career: she defeated the world's top ten players for the first time!
"It means a lot to me because it's the first time I've beaten the top 10 in a long time." From Potapova's remarks after the match, it is not difficult to see that the Russian beauty is quite excited.
I thought it was normal for Potapova to express her joy at her first top-10 victory, but the controversy ensued.
'It wasn't crazy and it wasn't a big deal, because the last few games we fought were battles, always tie-breaks, and it lasted more than three hours. Maybe it makes me feel like I'm on the same level as her. Potapova's words are tantamount to telling everyone that she and Zheng Qinwen are on par with each other, and winning the first sister of China is not an upset, but she has the strength to defeat the eighth in the world.
Someone bluntly said when commenting on Potapova's words that this is an obvious disrespect to Zheng Qinwen, a person ranked outside the top 30 in the world, dares to compare with the top 10 players in the world, "I really don't know where she got her confidence, not to mention that the record is Xiao Zheng's obvious victory." ”
Some people even criticized Potapova directly, pointing out that she was overwhelmed by the victory, "Her level is really not on the same level as Xiao Zheng, and the ranking and the number of champions can be compared." ”
Regarding Potapova's divine remarks, many people said that there was no need to take it seriously, because Russian beauties are famous in the circle for often speaking to offend people, and they have always dared to say it, just take it as a habit, "If you care, you will lose!"(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
