After Zheng Qinwen made her debut at the Australian Open, there was a lot of attention on whether her second-round opponents would be Sigmund or Baptiste.

Everyone is so concerned about this issue, mainly because Zheng Qinwen showed a wavering state against qualifier Todoni in the first round, which is really scary to think about. Although the first sister of China defeated Todoni in the last two sets, some fans and netizens still bluntly said that if Todoni's serve was better and his mentality was tenacious enough, it was really suspenseful whether Zheng Qinwen could pass the test.

It is precisely because of this that if the opponent in the second round is the 35-year-old German veteran Sigmund, Zheng Qinwen really has to deal with it carefully. Sigmund has no age advantage over Zheng Qinwen, but he has a lot of experience in the tournament and a very threatening style of play, having defeated former TOP10 players such as Dawei, Kuznetsova and Halep. Baptiste is obviously much easier to deal with than the German veteran, and if he faces such an opponent in the second round, the outside world will obviously worry a lot less for Zheng Qinwen.

Now Zheng Qinwen's opponent in the second round has finally been determined! After 3 hours and 16 minutes of hard-fought battle, Sigmund defeated Baptiste and became the opponent of China's first sister in the second round, and it seems that Zheng Qinwen is really going to prepare well.

Not long after Zheng Qinwen's opponent in the second round was confirmed to be Sigmund, a favorable news soon came that Czech star Vondrousova announced her retirement due to injury.

Vondrousova's withdrawal at this time is also believed by many to have left Zheng Qinwen's half without a strong opponent in advance.

As a Grand Slam champion player, Vondrousova is very powerful, and now there is no Czech player, which also makes Zheng Qinwen's supporters very happy, bluntly saying that before meeting Sabalenka, only Schneider and Vekic were some threats to Zheng Qinwen, and others were not afraid at all.

But another unfavorable news for Zheng Qinwen also followed, and the "two high mountains" in her upper half of the district successfully passed the first round of tests.

At that time, after Zheng Qinwen's Australian Open draw came out, many people lamented that the first sister of China was drawn to draw a lower draw, but it was soon suggested that Sabalenka and Gauff, who are in the same upper half of the region, had bad luck in signing, especially the opponents in the first round were extremely difficult to deal with, and there was a possibility of encountering a round of travel if they were not careful.

Sabalenka's first-round opponent is former US Open champion Stephens, while Gauff will have to face former Australian Open champion Kenin.

Seeing that the two encountered such a strong opponent in the first round, some supporters of Zheng Qinwen said at that time that if Sabalenka and Gauff were killed by Stephens and Kenin in the first round, it means that Zheng Qinwen has a greater probability of entering the Australian Open final again, "I hope God will help Sister Taomi." ”

However, the final result did not give Zheng Qinwen's supporters the best results, Sabalenka and Gauff both continued their good form in the warm-up matches, and both swept Stephens and Kenin in straight sets to advance to the second round.

Sabalenka and Gauff's passage through the first round of the Australian Open means that it will not be easy for any potential opponent to overcome them. As long as the two girls don't drop their chains, they will definitely continue to move forward at the Australian Open. In this way, it is definitely not good news for Zheng Qinwen. Even if Zheng Qinwen finally makes it to the quarterfinals, it will not be easy to pass Sabalenka, and the same is true for Gauff, a potential opponent in the semi-finals.

In addition to Zheng Qinwen, who is not currently favored to beat Sabalenka and Gauff, in a very interesting survey conducted by stars predicting the winner of the Australian Open, the men's players who participated in the survey once again directly excluded Zheng Qinwen.

A total of six men's players will participate in this prediction of the women's singles champions: Dimitrov, Medvedev, Rublev, Ruud, De Minaur and Tsitsipas; There are four women's players, namely Sabalenka, Gauff, Andreeva and Zheng Qinwen.

Dimitrov and Medvedev both chose Sabalenka as the women's singles champion at this year's Australian Open; Ruud voted for Swiatek.

Rublev is definitely a good old man, listing Sabalenka, Gauff, Swiatek and Rybakina on the list, and in this way telling everyone that he thinks the final women's singles champion will come from F4.

De Minaur and Tsitsipas gave the most interesting results, and the two also did not flow into the field when predicting the women's singles title, the former chose his fiancée Bolt, who is already engaged to him, and the latter supported his girlfriend Badosa.

Zheng Qinwen was snubbed by the six male stars this time, and no one mentioned her name, which also surprised Zheng Qinwen's supporters, because the first sister of China is also one of the players involved in the prediction of the champion. Some people said that among the top five players, Sabalenka, Gauff and Zheng Qinwen were all involved, and the first two were selected, but they snubbed Zheng Qinwen, so as to give face, "These men don't take Xiao Zheng seriously, you must know that she is Queenwen, a popular player and box office guarantee at this year's Australian Open." ”

Although Zheng Qinwen was directly ignored by all the male players who participated in the survey, which made the supporters a little uneasy, as one netizen said, since it is a prediction, people will definitely choose the person with a high probability of winning the championship, "It shows that Xiao Zheng still has room to continue to improve." ”(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
