Hey tennis fans! 🎾
Guess what? China’s rising tennis star, Zheng Qinwen, just made it to the Round of 16 at the Italian Open for the third year in a row! 🌟 She faced off against Poland’s Magdalena Frech and won with an impressive score of 6-3, 6-2.
This was their first meeting on clay courts, and Zheng came out swinging! She zoomed ahead in the first set, taking a strong 5-0 lead. Even though Frech tried to catch up, Zheng stayed focused and clinched the set 6-3. She was so pumped that she let out a big roar! 😃
“Sometimes, players throw high balls at me, and it can be frustrating,” Zheng shared after the match. “So when I hit a great shot, I just have to let out my energy!”
In the second set, Zheng kept up her awesome play. She noticed that Frech was moving back on the court, so she started using clever drop shots. This means she lightly tapped the ball just over the net, making it hard for Frech to reach. Smart move, right? 🤔
With these tactics, Zheng won the second set 6-2. Now, she’s all set to face Bianca Andreescu from Canada, who is a former U.S. Open champion! That’s going to be an exciting match! 🏆
Let’s cheer on Zheng Qinwen as she continues her journey at the Italian Open! Go Zheng! 🎉
