Strong, strong, strong! In the second round of the women's singles WTA1000 Miami, China's No. 1 sister Zheng Qinwen defeated local player Davis 6-1 7-5 despite a small trouble in the second set, and got the tournament off to a good start.

Switching to Miami, the Chinese first sister had poor luck, not only falling in her own bitter master, Sabalenka, in a half, but also the opponent in the second round met the local player Davis, and the potential opponent in the third round was Putintseva, who had never been defeated. Speaking of Davis, a veteran, although her fame may not be so high, as a talented girl of Sister Na's generation, she still has strength, and her bottom line is flat and fast, and her opponents often suffer a lot. Before the game, considering the sluggish performance of the Chinese sister in Indian Wells against Swiatek, many fans sweated for Zheng Qinwen, after all, the opponent as a veteran, experience and psychology may be more advantageous.

However, after the start of the game, Zheng Qinwen's performance still reassured many netizens! In the first set, the Chinese sister was in excellent shape, using her height and strength advantage to make her opponent almost powerless, and won the first set 6-1 in only 23 minutes.

In the second set, Zheng Qinwen still firmly grasped the rhythm of the game, and after taking the lead to complete the break, Zheng Qinwen made a perfect start of 3-1. However, after that, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and Davis resisted stubbornly and successfully broke back in the sixth game to chase the score to a 3-3 draw. Then the two sides bit me and chased, and the score came all the way to a 5-5 draw, and the game entered a critical stage. In the 11th game, Zheng Qinwen used the baseline to return the ball at a large angle to mobilize the opponent, and scored a strong winning point after making a break serve, after that, she seized the opportunity to win her own serve game in one go, and finally won the second set 7-5 and successfully advanced.

After the match, Zheng Qinwen briefly reviewed the slightly challenging second set, saying: "It was not easy because everything seemed to be going well at the beginning, but after taking a 3-1 lead in the second set, she played more comfortably and scored a few beautiful winning points. I can just push forward and fight for every point and I'm happy to win this game because I always like to play in Miami. ”

After advancing to the third round of the Women's Singles, the Chinese will face doubles striker Townsend who defeated Putintseva in three sets in the other match. For Zheng Qinwen, this may be good news, after all, the Chinese first sister has been completely defeated in the fight with Putintseva, and the opponent's continuous cutting and elimination style of play does make Zheng Qinwen have no special solution. However, despite avoiding the bitter host and welcoming Townsend who is not very high-ranked, considering that Zheng Qinwen also has the experience of losing to players like Sigmund at this year's Australian Open, this match is still worth discussing.

Townsend is only ranked 90th in singles this week, but she is ranked No.2 in doubles and has had excellent doubles results over the past year. The American star rose to fame with an upset win over Halep at the US Open many years ago, but she hasn't been on the show in singles since. Judging by her singles performance in Miami today, she was able to beat the tournament's No.19 seed and win four matches in a row from the qualifying rounds, so it can be seen that she is still in pretty good shape! In addition, it is worth mentioning that Zheng Qinwen and Townsend have played once in their careers, at the Miami tennis tournament 6 years ago, when the Chinese sister fought hard to the deciding set and lost 4-6, so this is still a revenge battle.

In addition to the expected greatly reduced difficulty of the third round, there is also news for Zheng Qinwen! In the early hours of this morning, Rybakina suffered an upset loss, as she was last year's runner-up in the tournament, so after deducting last year's runner-up points, her world ranking dropped to ninth, while Zheng Qinwen easily returned to the world ranking in a relaxed position. And with Rybakina out, the scuffle of many big seeds in this community suddenly left only Zheng Qinwen to take the lead, and the original bad sign became a good one.
