Unexpectedly, Sigmund, who had a good hand in the last round and knocked out the No. 5 seed Zheng Qinwen, was swept by Russian veteran Pavlyuchenkova and stopped in the third round of women's singles. And such a result has once again sparked heated discussions among domestic netizens.

The third round of the Women's Singles was played in the early stages, but it still attracted the attention of many Chinese fans, and the reason was some controversy after the German veteran Sigmund eliminated Zheng Qinwen in the previous round. Of course, many fans do want to see if the German veteran won the last round by luck or deservedly. Judging from the pre-match predictions, the German veteran's support rating is still slightly higher than that of the Russian star, although Pavlyuchenkova is far above Sigmund. However, because Sigmund's performance in the last round did make a deep impression, many also believe that the little-known German dark horse can continue his hot hand and continue his magical journey at the Australian Open.

However, as the tournament got underground, many were surprised to find out that many fans underestimated Pavlyuchenkova's strength as the tournament's No. 27 seed. The brutal serve and the fierce attack from the baseline completely suppressed Sigmund's versatile style of play, and what Pavlyuchenkova did better was that not only could she stabilize her position in her own service game, but she was also quite strong in the return game, repeatedly winning directly through the return serve, and she really did a very good job of Sigmund's service grabbing. In the end, the German veteran was swept out of the game after only three games, which also caused many fans in China to sigh.

In the voices of these discussions, we naturally saw quite a lot of comments from Zheng Qinwen's black fans. Many Zheng Qinwen's black fans think that Zheng Qinwen will lose to a player like Sigmund who is one of the "top 100 strengths", and this game doesn't prove her strength even more? Pavlyuchenkova, ranked in the top 30 in the world and silent for many years, can sweep her, and Zheng Qinwen, as the fifth seed in the tournament, will be upset, all kinds of performances have proved that her strength does not match her ranking at all! There are even netizens who commented under some blog posts, "With Zheng Qinwen's mentality and skills, if she doesn't change, she will only have 100 strengths." ”

However, is this really the case? Apparently not! On the one hand, a large part of the reason why Zheng Qinwen lost to Sigmund must be "emotional problems". In the fourth game of the second set, after being penalized by the referee, Zheng Qinwen explained that he could not see the countdown on the timer due to blocking, so the serve was timed out. However, the referee's explanation for this was that there were a total of six timers around the pitch and there was no such thing as not being seen. Then Zheng Qinwen suddenly broke down emotionally and cried bitterly, and then issued an outrageous double error of "bouncing in front of the net", almost from here, Zheng Qinwen also completely lost the possibility of reversing. But just imagine, if this unexpected situation does not happen, maybe Zheng Qinwen still has a chance to drag the game into the deciding set.

Yuan Jia, the commentator of Zheng Qinwen's game, has the same opinion, he believes that the biggest reason for Zheng Qinwen's loss is that there is an emotional problem! He commented on the match after the game, saying, "I really didn't expect Zheng Qinwen to stop in the second round like this, or there was an emotional problem." In the past six months, I have been deeply touched by playing tennis, once there is an emotional problem, no matter how you play, tennis is more cruel than football. Of course, the opponent Sigmund is also in too good shape, and he can play no matter what. ”

Another reason for Zheng Qinwen's upset is "insufficient preparation before the game". This lack of preparation comes from two points, on the one hand, it is obviously a lack of preparation for the psychological expectation that the opponent will fight so fiercely, and on the other hand, it is a lack of preparation for the opponent's tactical response to this style of play based on cutting changes. It is precisely because of these two points that we can see that Zheng Qinwen is very "entangled" in this game, many times he hesitates not to go online, and sometimes hesitates to change the line, which is actually caused by insufficient preparation before the game.

Therefore, when we can understand the reason for Zheng Qinwen's loss, the so-called "Zheng Qinwen only has 100 strengths" will become even more absurd and ridiculous.

In fact, Zheng Qinwen's loss is just as a netizen said, "This is competitive sports, it is impossible to say that Zheng Qinwen lost, she is worse than Sigmund ranked 97th, and worse than Pavlyuchenkova ranked 32nd, which is obviously unreasonable!" It's just a loss, and what Grand Slam champion hasn't gone through hundreds of failures to succeed? And you know, this is only the fourth year since she became famous (2022 French Open)! ”

Here I also suddenly remembered what Zhang Zhizhen said in an interview the day before yesterday, he said that the ranking of players does not actually mean anything, it can only show how much effort you have put in and how much achievements you have made in the past year, there are great variables in competitive sports, and it is normal to win or lose. That's right, for Zheng Qinwen, there is still a long way to go, and there are still many things to learn. Come on!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
