The headwind comeback is only one win away from the TOP4, and whether Zheng Qinwen can set a record Raducanu is a hurdle

Zheng Qinwen fired the first shot of his grass court season in the Queen's Cup! However, the good start of this debut also shocked everyone into a cold sweat!

Before the start of the game against the American girl Kessler, although the bookmaker offered Zheng Qinwen and Kessler 1 to 1.36 and 1 to 3.2 respectively, it seems that there is no suspense for the Chinese first sister to pass the test, but in the eyes of many people, it is not easy for Zheng Qinwen to pass the test smoothly. In addition to her poor grass court record in the past, everyone thinks that she is not very good at grass combat, and Kessler is in good shape, especially when she thinks that she has nothing to lose against Zheng Qinwen, emphasizing that she will go all out to impact the first sister in China, and everyone is particularly worried about whether Zheng Qinwen will encounter a round of travel unexpectedly.

As it turns out, everyone's fears are justified! Against a girl like Kessler, who is not particularly good at grass fighting, although Zheng Qinwen won in the end, the process was comparable to a roller coaster, and the win was quite thrilling!

Looking back on this match now, judging from the performance of Zheng Qinwen and Kessler in the first set, even though the first Chinese sister took the lead to take a 2-0 lead, the American girl did go all out to impact Zheng Qinwen as she said before the game, and she really did what she said.

As Kessler quickly made a comeback, tying the big score, it also made the tension of the game come to mind. Just when everyone was speculating whether Zheng Qinwen would fall into a hard battle from the first set, the first sister of China won the first set 6-3 after quickly stabilizing at the critical moment, coupled with her service performance, and finally won the first set 6-3 by virtue of the only break advantage in her hand.

The second set, considered to be the most dramatic, almost replicated the pattern of the first set. The difference is that the leader is no longer Zheng Qinwen, but Kessler.

The American girl broke Zheng Qinwen's serve from the beginning and became the frontrunner. Although the Chinese sister worked hard to tie the score, she was still fatally broken by Kessler at the end of the set, thus losing the second set 4-6 and being tied by the American girl.

After defusing the danger, Kessler also became more and more courageous in the deciding set. At that time, after seeing the American girl quickly take a 4-1 lead and hold the rhythm of the game in her own hands, some fans and netizens in the live broadcast room shouted that Zheng Qinwen may be gone, and it is estimated that he will encounter a round of tours.

Unexpectedly, when he was getting closer and closer to the end of victory, Kessler's psychological fluctuations allowed Zheng Qinwen to successfully seize the opportunity.

The first sister of China took advantage of the depth of the return serve and successfully broke back to tie the score in a row, and finally slowly snatched back the initiative of the game, and finally locked the victory 7-5 and ended the battle.

After the match, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some people bluntly said that fortunately, Kessler was not very experienced in grass, otherwise Zheng Qinwen would be able to get out of the crisis in such a big trouble in the deciding set.

With this victory over Case, Zheng Qinwen not only received more than 370,000 yuan in prize money, but also retained 70 points in the entire grass court season last year by gaining 108 points, and also made a net profit.

In addition, this victory also brought Zheng Qinwen closer and closer to becoming a member of the TOP4 club.

Judging from the current real-time world ranking points, the difference between China's first sister and the world's No. 4 Paulini is only 39 points, which also means that as long as Zheng Qinwen works hard and wins one more game, he can squeeze Borini out of the world's top four, bringing her instant world ranking to No. 4 and setting a new career record.

This step seems to be close at the moment, but it is not easy to achieve it smoothly, in the words of one netizen, it depends on whether the British girl Raducanu is willing to give Zheng Qinwen a chance.

Raducanu and Shimkova were in great form as they competed for a ticket to the quarterfinals of the Queen's Cup, sweeping their opponents 6-4 and 6-1 to become Zheng Qinwen's opponent in the quarter-finals.

In this regard, many people said that Raducanu's grass field is obviously much better than Kessler's, and the fact that she is fighting on British soil will make her extra motivated. This also puts forward higher requirements for Zheng Qinwen, if he wants to bring his instant world ranking to No. 4, he can't make the same mistake as he did against Kessler in the first set, because Raducanu, as a Grand Slam champion, has a much better ability to seize opportunities than the Americans, and once she grasps the initiative of the game, she will not give Zheng Qinwen a chance to turn the tables at all.

Zheng Qinwen's match against Raducanu will kick off at 10 p.m. Beijing time on June 13. In terms of odds, the bookmaker offered odds of 1.91 to 1 for both of them, and the winner was five or five.

So, after this focus battle, will Zheng Qinwen usher in the moment to set a new ranking record, or will Raducanu create the biggest upset of this Queen's Cup? See!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
