Zheng Qinwen was upset, netizens laughed about the trouble caused by the moon ball, the black-faced handshake, and the famous scene of accidentally injuring the opponent

Unexpectedly! Totally unexpected! China's first sister Zheng Qinwen was unexpectedly upset on her debut at the Madrid Tennis Tournament, and her state was very sluggish throughout the court, which made netizens very worried.

After missing the tennis tournament in Stuttgart due to injury, Zheng Qinwen made his slightly late clay debut in Madrid, against old rival Potapova. Judging from the past record of the two, the Chinese sister is far ahead with 3 wins and 1 loss. In addition, because in the interview, the first sister of China admitted that elbow injury is no longer a problem for her game, so many netizens think that Zheng Qinwen should be able to win this game smoothly.

In the first set, Potapova played very tenaciously, and the strong attack and the entanglement of the moon ball made Zheng Qinwen a little at a loss. The Russians were on full fire, although at one point she tried to neutralise a heavy attack with aggressive attacks and small-ball variations in the middle of the set. However, serving became a constraint, and the first-serve scoring rate of only 35.7% allowed Zheng Qinwen to suffer three breaks, and even lost the first set 4-6 by being broken.

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the first set, Potapova served and wiped the net, and Zheng Qinwen casually hit the opponent's back. Then the first Chinese sister was so frightened that she hurriedly raised her hand to apologize, and Potapova gave a thumbs up to resolve it, saying that she was fine. In this regard, some netizens commented, "No one wants to accidentally injure the opponent, as long as you sincerely apologize, maybe you can change the story of the accident." It's just that this reminds people of Zheng Qinwen being hit hard by Swiatek as a victim in last year's United Cup... Comparison between the two compartments, why is the painting style so much worse? ”

In the second set, Zheng Qinwen adjusted his serve on the one hand, and strengthened the stability of his bottom line on the other hand. Compared to the first set, Zheng Qinwen not only came out with an ace in the second set, but also played more patiently, and although her opponent picked up the moon ball several times and landed on the baseline, Zheng still tried to adjust herself to a more suitable position to hit the ball, which allowed her to build a 4-2 lead in the second set. However, in the crucial seventh game, the situation on the court changed abruptly, Potapova continued to play a strong grappling ability, and achieved a break, under the morale frustration, Zheng Qinwen suffered a break, and soon came to the unbreakable service game 4-5, Zheng Qinwen failed to recover the decline, and was swept out by the opponent in the way of being broken again.

From the perspective of technical statistics, in the second set, Zheng Qinwen's first-serve scoring rate was only 50%, and the second-serve scoring rate was only 35.3%. In the full-game data, Zheng Qinwen only hit 1 ace, with a first-serve scoring rate of 43.5%, a first-serve scoring rate of 55.6%, and a second-serve scoring rate of 42.9%, and the service data was completely behind the opponent. In addition, Zheng Qinwen only scored 13 winning points in the game, but sent a whopping 30 unforced errors, which is a serious imbalance!

The Chinese sister who lost the match also shook hands with a black face, and then quickly left the court, obviously, Zheng Qinwen was not satisfied with his performance on clay. However, how to describe such a game?

In this regard, some netizens commented, "Almost, what I'm worried about is happening, last year's wave was like climbing a mountain to the top, and now it's time to retreat!" Some netizens said, "I'm really angry today, how can a shot be so bad, it's not Saba on the other side, I said before the game that my body is in good shape, and I don't have any spirit when I fall behind, and I can't do anything in the face of the moon ball, and I'm speechless!" Some netizens also said, "The opponent in this game is really worth winning, I didn't serve, I didn't feel good, and I felt that the injury still had a big impact." There are also no effective measures against the opponent's moon, Rome goodbye".

The Chinese sister also talked about the reason for the loss in her post-match press conference, but she said that she lost the game "not because of injury".

In this regard, Zheng Qinwen said: "I feel that I can play normally now. The injury affected a little bit at first, but I didn't think about it when I got into the game. My overall feeling on the pitch today was too slow, my performance was too lacklustre, and I didn't do a good job of choosing some key points. I need to be more aggressive, a little bit more powerful, especially when I'm ahead, and I need to be more decisive in attack. ”

Zheng Qinwen said that he still needs to continue to adapt to the style of play on clay: "Clay is a court that requires a lot of patience because the ball speed will be slower and players will need to make more and better choices. I'm going to have to find the feeling of playing on clay again. At the moment, Zheng Qinwen admits that he does not want to set any goals for this clay season. She said that in the next competition, she plans to "fight slowly one game at a time".

For such a game, many netizens laughed and said, "It's all the moon ball's fault"! Obviously, this match is a bit similar to last year's French Open defeat to Avanesyan. The opponent disrupted Zheng Qinwen's rhythm by taking the initiative to hook up the moon ball, and after Zheng Qinwen returned to the moon ball with low quality, the opponent attacked first and mastered the initiative to score. Today's defeat can also be analysed as a classic case for the coaching staff, because there will be a lot of such shots on clay, and if you want to make a difference at this year's French Open, then this is something that must be overcome and solved.
