Just yesterday, China's No. 1 sister Zheng Qinwen surprised us with a straight-set win over former world No. 1 Azarenka, ending a three-game losing streak on her individual tour and getting the Indian Wells tennis tournament off to a flying start.

Before the start of this game, many fans were not optimistic that Zheng Qinwen could advance. This is not only because Zheng Qinwen did not win a set and lost all of the first two meetings between the two sides, but also because the Chinese first sister has been in a really bad situation recently, and has ushered in three consecutive singles defeats since the beginning of the year. However, there are also quite a few fans who believe that the return of Coach Riba may be able to bring some new changes to Zheng Qinwen, and if you can fight the opponent with the mentality of "wanting to win and not being afraid of losing", the result may not necessarily be a loss.

Sure enough, after the game started, Zheng Qinwen was obviously prepared, and successfully led 3-0 after ten points in a row. In the ensuing match, the hot baseline attack made her feel like a bamboo in the first set, and after the two broke each other's serve in the middle of the set, Zheng Qinwen held her serve strongly and successfully took the next set.

In the second set, taking advantage of Azarenka's low morale, Zheng Qinwen took a 2-0 lead at the beginning of the game, which was another good start. However, in the fourth game that followed, Zheng Qinwen was harassed by the audience when he served, and his mentality was affected, so he was broken by Azarenka on serve, and the score returned to 2-2. However, Zheng Qinwen did not panic afterwards, and the rejuvenated Chinese girl then increased patience and stability in the holding ball, and in the seventh game, Zheng Qinwen made another effort to break serve, and the score returned to 4-2 steadily! At the critical moment, the Belarusian veteran began to show her resilience, and her strategy of resolutely playing steadily on the bottom line made her wait for Zheng Qinwen's fluctuations, 3-4, 4-4, and the second set entered the white-hot stage. In the ninth game, after Azarenka went to the net with the ball, Zheng Qinwen's cutting moon ball was judged to be in bounds, and the Belarusian veteran immediately said that it must be an eagle eye fault and reasoned with the referee, but the referee still insisted on the original decision. Azarenka, who was greatly affected, then suffered a break and finally lost two games in a row!

After the match, Zheng Qinwen reviewed the most intense second set of the match, she said, "To be honest, in fact, I thought it was normal at that time, because she also wiped the net with the ball in front of her." It's that I think luck is on both sides, and I think that my high ball, I've been playing tennis for so many years, in fact, I haven't picked it in a few times, so I think both sides actually have luck. In fact, I think that a lot of Azarenka's performance in the second set was actually a lot of opportunities for her! ”

In this regard, some netizens said, "This is too Zheng Qinwen! I simply didn't take the opponent in my eyes, what does it mean to give the opponent a lot of opportunities, so according to what you mean, Azarenka deserves to be beaten by you for two 6-0s? By the same token, how many chances does Sabalenka give you when you face Sabalenka? That's disrespectful, isn't it? However, some netizens said, "Actually, I read the meaning of this passage, combined with the interview with Qin Wen that I usually watch, I think what Qin Wen mainly wants to express is that she herself has a lot of mistakes, so she and Aza are relatively anxious in the second set." ”

Some netizens said, "I can't believe that this is what Zheng Qinwen said!" But when you think about it, why can't she say such a thing? However, according to my understanding, what Xiao Zheng wants to express may be: I made a lot of mistakes, so she had a lot of opportunities, and it was not that I took the initiative to give her a chance. After all, every point is a risk. Of course, in the post-game interview, I feel that Xiao Zheng should be in a more relaxed mood! There is also a little bit of dissatisfaction with Aza questioning the electronic division line and swearing, although it was not directly said to Xiao Zheng, but after all, it was definitely uncomfortable for the opponent on the field to hear it. ”(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
