Zheng Qinwen's Berlin draw was questioned as a signing, and Leba showed weakness before the game, saying that Zheng was a strong opponent

As soon as Zheng Qinwen's Berlin station draw table came out, many fans began to fight for China's first sister, and some fans directly joked, "Such a difficult signing table, if it is not a 500 match, I even thought it was a grand slam!" ”

After reaching the semi-finals of the Queen's Cup, Zheng Qinwen moved to fourth in the world, setting a personal high ranking. And just yesterday, the first sister of China arrived in Berlin to prepare for the Berlin tennis grass court. Looking back on the past two years, China's first sister Zheng Qinwen has achieved very dismal results here, but in order to alleviate the huge pressure of points in the second half of the season, she can only rise to the challenge and get as many points as possible in the grass court season that she is not good at.

But the reality is very cruel! According to the Berlin draw table, Zheng Qinwen met former Wimbledon champion Rybakina in the first round, and some netizens joked, "This is simply the women's singles final that the Queen's Cup failed to stage!" A second round awaits her, with a tough opponent Siniakova, and a third round that could be her ninth summit showdown with Sabalenka – and that's just the beginning of the first half of the campaign. If she can really make it to the semi-finals, she will be waiting for a powerful player like Paulini or Case; The ultimate opponent in the final may be the new French Open champion Gauff, and this road to promotion is definitely "hellish difficulty".

And as soon as such a signing table came out, it also caused controversy among many fans, especially the doubts of "signing suspicion" soon came like a tide.

Some netizens said, "Who did Zheng Qinwen offend? It's ridiculously hard to sign a form! And why does Zheng Qinwen draw Sabalenka every time in the quarterfinals, it's unbelievable! Another fan said, "It's a tough battle from the first round, is this the rhythm of her one round?" Is the WTA deliberately 'protecting' certain players? That's why Zheng Qinwen became a victim? In this regard, some fans also replied in the comment area: "So, let's take a look at Gauff's half of the district, the opponent's strength is obviously much weaker, and the strength of this signing table is too 'balanced', right?" It's unbelievable! ”

However, some fans have a different view. "The draw of the top event is surrounded by strong opponents, and complaining about the draw is the behavior of the weak!" A fan said in a word. Another fan said, "The real champion is never afraid of any opponent, and the harder the draw, the more it can prove its strength!" Besides, if Zheng Qinwen wants to win the Grand Slam championship in the future, then sooner or later he will have to pass the level of top masters such as Rybakina, Sabalenka, and Gauff, what is the difference between meeting early and late? ”

However, while everyone was debating whether there was a suspicion of signing, Zheng's first-round opponent and former Wimbledon champion Rybakina's pre-match interview took a lot of pressure off Zheng's trip to Berlin.

"Zheng Qinwen is a strong opponent," Rybakina admitted, continuing with a solemn tone, "She's playing really well right now and has achieved great results. She has an aggressive style of play and has played a few matches on grass. It's going to be a tough game and it's going to be very exciting. Finally, she said, "I'm going to do my best to stay in the draw and try to play a few more games!" ”

It is worth mentioning that this interview is considered by the outside world to be a "show of weakness" for the former Wimbledon champion, after all, as a Grand Slam champion, and in the type of venue he is good at, the record is also 2-1, but Rybakina is facing the first round with such a low profile, which is really unexpected.

However, considering that in this year's Queen's Cup, Rybakina lost to the German veteran Maria in two sets, and the former Wimbledon champion's current situation is indeed much more complicated, so it is no wonder that she is so low-key, after all, judging from the recent form of the two people, it is true that Zheng Qinwen's state is much better than Rybakina.

As for this year's competition, Zheng Qinwen believes that he may still need to play one game at a time, from the French Open loss to the grass court season, he not only needs to face a long time for physical and mental recovery, but also needs to face a longer time to adapt to the court. Therefore, in the eyes of the first sister in China, no matter how the table is signed, the more important thing is to be yourself, I think this is also the unanimous voice of many fans!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
