Zheng Qinwen: I got up at 4 o'clock to train, didn't regard Saba as the number one in the world, and did my best

Recently, China's first sister Zheng Qinwen appeared in the American magazine "W" with her super popularity, and accepted a related interview, in which she talked about the sluggish state at the beginning of the year and her bitter master-Sabalenka.

This season, China's first sister has experienced an unprecedented trough, with the second round of the Australian Open, the second round of Doha, and the second round of Dubai, with only one win and three losses in the three tournaments.

In this regard, Zheng Qinwen admitted that injury is still the biggest problem, "I did have injuries at the Australian Open, Doha and Dubai, I am also looking for the state of the game. But I don't think that should be an excuse for not playing well is not playing well. A player of my calibre should be consistent at every stop, and then look for a breakthrough in stability. ”

Zheng Qinwen also revealed that when she was training in Barcelona, there was a period of time when the stadium she used would be controlled from 7 a.m., so she had to get up at 4:30 a.m. every day to train, and this lasted for several months.

Zheng Qinwen has gained unprecedented exposure and traffic in China after winning the Olympic title last year, and she believes that all of this has always inspired her, but sometimes, losing can be stressful and even overwhelming. In this regard, she confessed, "I have done such a powerful and difficult thing, and created an amazing moment." I will use that moment to keep encouraging myself that I have the quality and can do better. If you don't feel anything after a loss, you just feel numb, I don't think that's what a good player should be. After that, it was even more difficult to stand on the field and train day after day, not mechanically and numbly, but with a goal in mind, thinking about how to train to make yourself more successful. ”

"I want to be a player who always keeps moving forward. I'm looking up to players like Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, Serena Williams, who can get to the top time and time again. Zheng Qinwen said.

In the quarterfinals of this year's Miami Tennis Tournament, Zheng Qinwen once again lost to Sabalenka, the bitter master of his career, swallowing six consecutive defeats against the latter. However, in this regard, Zheng Qinwen once again believes that the key to the problem is that he still wants to win too much sometimes, and his mentality of being too eager to achieve makes it impossible for him to do his best. She stressed that now, it is definitely not about focusing on others, the biggest problem is that you have to believe that you can beat Sabalenka, not treat your opponent as the number one in the world, and show your best form before everything can change.

Zheng Qinwen on Sabalenka: "I will have a stronger fighting spirit. But sometimes I have to suppress my fighting spirit and calm my mind before I can make the right choice, and I will not be forced to be too impatient or too conservative by too strong fighting spirit. I now say to myself, first of all, that no matter who I play against, whether the opponent is ranked No. 1 in the world or in the top 100, I have to play at a real level, and that's what I need to focus on right now. The head-to-head record is just a number, the real victory or defeat is made in the moment! ”

The first sister of China also looked forward to the next season, she admitted that although her results on the grass in the past few years are average, she believes that her style of play is actually very suitable for the grass, and she believes that she can make a breakthrough this year! At present, the most important thing for me must be to win the Grand Slam women's singles championship, which is my long-cherished wish, and I can give everything for this goal. However, she also admitted that the difficulty in front of her now is not the opponent, but the "stability" needed to win 7 consecutive Grand Slam games, and she still has a lot of ups and downs, and many of them are continuous, which is the problem she must change next.

Finally, Zheng's opponent in the second round of the Charleston tennis tournament has been decided, and she is Sakkari, who defeated Shtakucic 6-3, 6-2 in the late night match. However, it is worth mentioning that this is only Sakkari's fifth win of the season, and this week she has reached No.64 in the world ranking, which is also her lowest ranking since the 2017 Wuhan Open! In addition, Zheng Qinwen and Sakkari have played each other three times before, with the Chinese sister winning 1-2 and the fourth meeting is expected to happen in the early hours of Thursday morning, who do you think can win?(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
