After seeing Zheng Qinwen win the Serbian girl Danilovic in two sets, everyone's hearts before the game finally relaxed!
Before this focus battle started, many people were worried about whether Zheng Qinwen could get a good start in his debut because the odds offered by the bookmaker before the game seemed to be less confident in China's first sister, suggesting that she was at risk of being upset; However, when predicting this match, the Roma tournament officials fully supported the Chinese first sister, and gave Zheng Qinwen and Danilovic a winning support rate of 82 kai.
In the face of this seemingly complicated prediction of victory and defeat, someone finally couldn't help but speak, bluntly saying that Zheng Qinwen, who is good at clay fighting, if he can't even defeat an opponent like Danilovic in Rome, then how can he win a Grand Slam title?
Judging from Zheng Qinwen's performance in the first set, Roma's slow clay court did fully reflect her playing style advantage, and she quickly achieved a dream start of 4-0.
Danilovich's performance was completely devoid of his sharpness in the first round against Siniakova, and he quickly won the first set 1-6.
Before the second set started, fans and netizens in the live broadcast room also thought that Danilovic would definitely fight back, and once again reminded Zheng Qinwen to pay more attention.
However, after seeing the Serbian girl's first service game and Zheng Qinwen's ability to deal with Danilovic very easily, the outcome of the match was also out of suspense.
Even though Danilovic struggled extremely after that, trying to recover the disadvantage and make the game seem to still be in suspense, Zheng Qinwen did not show much fluctuation, thus ending the battle 6-4, giving the Serbian girl a second consecutive defeat, and this focus battle that tested everyone's little heart was also turned over.
After the game, fans and netizens in the live broadcast room immediately sighed that it was not easy for Xiao Zheng to win this victory, and if he lost again, it was estimated that he would really be hit and doubt his life.
Since Zheng Qinwen won the singles gold medal on clay at the Paris Olympics last year, he was once expected by the outside world, especially the fans of the first sister of China, who believe that after the baptism of the Olympic Games, Zheng Qinwen has completely transformed and has already become a top player who can compete with Sabalenka, Swiatek and Gauff.
However, after the start of the new season, Zheng Qinwen did not play a convincing performance, and even against old opponents such as Swiatek and Sabalenka, it was still difficult to find a win, so the clay season was considered by everyone to be Zheng Qinwen's only chance to redeem himself.
But no one expected that Zheng Qinwen, who is very good at clay fighting, suffered a heavy setback on her clay season debut from Madrid when she was full of energy and injuries, which brought her streak of victories on clay since the Paris Olympics to an abrupt end.
After Rome's victory over Danilovich, Zheng Qinwen finally won his first major clay tournament after winning gold at the Paris Olympics, and also reached the round of 32 in Rome for three consecutive years.
Zheng Qinwen once said that Rome is his blessed land, and now he has taken the first step after ending his losing streak, and he is also very much looking forward to the follow-up performance of China's first sister in the blessed land, whether it can equal last year's top eight record, and whether it can make a breakthrough on this basis.
At present, Zheng Qinwen's third-round opponent has been determined, which is the No. 26 seed Felecher.
When Feletcher and former world No. 1 Azarenka competed for a ticket to the round of 32, Zheng Qinwen was the next opponent with a more consistent performance and better ability to handle key points, narrowly beating the former world No. 1 7-5, 6-4.
After seeing that Zheng Qinwen's opponent in the third round was Fletcher, someone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, bluntly saying that Azarenka is more difficult to deal with than Fletcher, and now she has avoided the former world No. 1, and is naturally considered to have great hope of advancing to the round of 16 for China's first sister.
However, judging from the previous 1-1 record between Zheng Qinwen and Fletcher, it may be too early to say that the Chinese first sister will definitely win against Fletcher.
Judging from the situation between Fletcher and Azarenka, her clay strength is not weak, especially the big heart shown at the critical moment, she was able to beat Azarenka in two sets, of course, not by age, and hard power should not be underestimated.
In addition, since this is the first time that Fletcher and Zheng Qinwen have met on clay, and both of them are currently in good form to the outside world, the outcome of this match is also considered by the outside world to have a chance, which is really difficult to predict. It seems that the third round is still a challenge for Zheng Qinwen, and if he wants to continue to advance, he still needs to work harder!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
