The storm is back! After losing to Abdul-Jabbar in two sets in the second round of the Doha tennis tournament, Zheng Qinwen once again fell into a storm of public opinion, and the criticism of her from the outside world also sounded again.

In fact, looking back on this game, it can't be said how well Abdul-Jabbar played, it can only be said that Zheng Qinwen played too badly. In this game, Zheng Qinwen had 38 unforced errors, but only 17 winning points, while the opponent's performance in this data was relatively balanced, with Abdul-Jabbar having 27 unforced errors and 16 winning points. In addition, Zheng Qinwen's usual good serve is also substandard, yesterday's game, her first-serve scoring rate was pitifully low, the first set once fell to 41%, and the whole game, her first-serve scoring rate was only 46%, and the second-serve scoring rate was only 40%. All the data show that this is a complete defeat, and it is a complete defeat in terms of strength and psychology.

As we all know, after winning the Olympic Games last year, Zheng Qinwen completed the transformation, which is largely due to the fact that she is better at playing against the wind, and when she is not feeling well, she can be more patient and her psychological fluctuations are no longer so big ups and downs. However, judging from the two defeats in the new season, Zheng Qinwen seems to have returned to square one, with no adjustment plan when he is behind, and the return of the ball on the field has become very disorganized.

In this regard, some fans also analyzed, "Last year, the number of aces ranked first in the WTA, but this year's serve is rubbish." There are often outrageous out-of-bounds, and the deviation is so large that it is hard to imagine that this is the serve of a professional player. And the serve is gone, and the already ordinary forehand and backhand skills are even more unremarkable. Frankly, this is not what the top 10 in the world should be at all, this should be the performance of the top 100. ”

In fact, since Zheng Qinwen first entered the world's top 10 at the Australian Open last year, he has been criticized by many fans for his strength as the world's top 10, and was once labeled as the "world's top 10".

In this regard, one fan said, "It's hard to believe that a top 10 player in the world has only one win against Swiatek so far, and even more so against Sabalenka and Gauff with a pitiful zero win rate." If it is understandable that he can't beat these top players in the high rankings, then Xiao Zheng's performance against several other top 10 players in the world can definitely tell some questions. For a long time, Zheng Qinwen has not been able to show the hard power she should have, she has not been able to completely open the gap with the world's top 20, or even the world's top 50 players, so she is often ridiculed by fans as "Zheng Bodhisattva", helping players from all walks of life to brush records, but her strength has been infinitely exaggerated in China, in fact, it is really difficult for people to be satisfied with her performance. ”

However, Zheng Qinwen was able to enter the top ten ranks in the world, and he did enter step by step, which is a fact that no one can deny. For some of the losses in this year's competition, in the words of Zheng Qinwen, "professional tennis has ups and downs", and no one is superhuman, so we can't completely deny the objective fact that she is a top 10 player in the world just because of the loss of a few games.

After the end of the Olympic Games last year, Zheng Qinwen's performance was indeed very good, the quarterfinals of the US Open, the semifinals of the China Open, the runner-up of the Wuhan Open, the champion of the Tokyo Tournament and the runner-up of the year-end finals. As many netizens sighed, "After the Olympics, Zheng is like a hanger, and he is stable no matter who he faces." However, this year, for some reason, it is like returning to the fledgling youth. ”

Looking back on the match with Abdul-Jabbar, Zheng Qinwen led from 3-1 in the opening game, missed two game points at 3-2 (40-15), and missed two break points at 3-3 (40-15), and was overtaken by Abdul-Jabbar 4-3 to explain some problems. As a top 10 player in the world, Zheng Qinwen's emotions and psychology have always been a weakness, and many times, once Zheng Qinwen is behind the score, her emotions will fluctuate significantly, and her mistakes will rise sharply. This is also the reason why in the second set, Zheng Qinwen completely fell into the rhythm of Abdul-Jabbar, fell all the way, and finally lost the match.

However, many fans still believe that the loss of the game is also due to the interference of the audience with Zheng Qinwen. In this regard, some fans said, "The audience in Doha is not only unqualified, but they applaud Zheng Qinwen as soon as he makes a mistake." Another fan said, "Actually, I don't know much about the ball, and I don't understand it when I wipe the net into the area." The audience in the Middle East needs to learn the etiquette of watching the game, and Zheng Qinwen's second shot was wildly interfered with! Some fans also said, "The quality of Doha fans watching the game today is worrying, and the referee has reminded many times that players should be quiet after a mistake." Moreover, after Zheng Qinwen sent off the net, there was a sound of serious cheers on the scene, and Jabbar also raised his hand to signal quiet, is the quality so poor..."

However, we can only say that Zheng Qinwen's luck yesterday was not good, the serve was not very reliable, and the key double fault appeared at the wrong time, just like many netizens commented, "I can only play more games, accumulate feel, and find my state and confidence!" According to the schedule, Zheng Qinwen will participate in the WTA1000 Dubai Championship in the next event, and there are still 5-6 days before the start of the tournament, I hope she can have a clear reflection on yesterday's loss, after all, once this spring's hard court season is not good, Zheng Qinwen is likely to fall out of the top 10 in the world.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
