In the quarterfinals of the tennis women's singles of the Paris Olympics that ended in the early morning of August 1, Beijing time, the top seed of the tournament, Swiatek, received a retirement gift in the deciding set and successfully advanced to the top 4. And she also became the opponent of China's Zheng Qinwen in the semifinals.

Currently ranked No. 1 in the world, Swiatek has won five Grand Slam titles, notably at Roland Garros, who has won the French Open four times. She was also expected to win gold by Poland at the Olympics. Before that, she went all the way through the hurdles, defeating many opponents, including China's Wang Xiyu, and successfully entered the top 8.

In this matchup with United States' Collins, Swiatek won 6-1 in the first set, and Collins pulled back a set 6-2 in the second set. Fortunately, in the deciding set, Swiatek regained her form and led 4-1. After United States' Collins reluctantly withdrew, Swiatek was able to advance to the Olympic Women's Singles Final Four for the first time in her career, and she will next compete with Zheng Qinwen for the final. With this victory, Swiatek has won 23 consecutive clays on clay.

Previously, Zheng Qinwen and Swiatek have played each other a total of 6 times, Zheng Qinwen has not yet won, and Swiatek can be called the biggest sufferer of Zheng Qinwen's current career. Swiatek's fast-paced hitting is also the type that Zheng Qinwen is more afraid of. It can be said that this one is definitely the most difficult level for Zheng Qinwen to win a medal in the Olympics.

However, it is gratifying that compared with the downturn during the French Open and Wimbledon periods, Zheng Qinwen is currently in good shape. Won 9 consecutive victories in a wave of clay singles. Coupled with the motivation to fight for the country, I believe that in this semi-final, Zheng Qinwen still has the opportunity to continue to break through and create new history for the motherland.
