Zheng Qinwen burst into tears and received warm encouragement from the China Tennis Association, and Gauff explained why he made 16 double faults

After losing to the American girl Gauff in three sets, the picture of Zheng Qinwen tearing up Rome also made many people feel distressed!

How much did the win over world No. 1 Sabalenka boost Zheng Qinwen's confidence? The answer can be found from the "Finally Breakthrough" and "Mountains and Seas Can Be Flat" soared out of China's first sister.

Meeting with Gauff in the semi-finals in Rome, everyone paid so much attention to this focus battle for two purposes: first, this is considered to be a repeat of last year's year-end finals in Riyadh, to see if Zheng Qinwen can climb the mountain of Sabalenka in the blessed land of Rome, and then fill the sea of Gauff and usher in a new transformation; Second, in the case of having the opportunity to impact the first 1000 tournament and clay high-level tournament championship in her career, how is the Chinese first sister's courage!

When Zheng Qinwen talked about this match before the game, he bluntly said that Sabalenka and Gauff are completely different opponents, and the American girl's bottom-line ability is quite strong, deliberately emphasizing that she will prepare in advance, and even revealed that she has increased physical training for this purpose.

This is also considered a wise move by everyone to do this! The reason why Zheng Qinwen lost the game in the year-end finals in Riyadh last year was because of a physical problem at the last critical moment, which gave Gauff the last chance to laugh.

Judging from the performance of the two in the first two sets of this Rome showdown, this game is indeed a protracted battle, when the game duration exceeded 3 hours, some fans and netizens in the live broadcast room pointed out that the next test for the two is not as simple as competing skills and strength, but to see who has stronger willpower in the case of such a large physical consumption, then who will have the opportunity to have the last laugh.

Everyone realized that Zheng Qinwen's physical fitness may have problems, because she came to the commanding height of the whole game 5-3, and when she did not win the first game, some people said that if Zheng Qinwen's willpower is not tenacious enough, there is a high probability that she will repeat the mistake of last year's year-end finals in Riyadh.

The subsequent plot development is indeed very similar to the year-end finals, from Gauff's equalizer to entering the tie-break, the person who began to take the initiative became Gauff, and then Zheng Qinwen lost the game.

After the game, someone made a very interesting remark, bluntly saying that in the Riyadh year-end finals last year, Gauff was like a chicken blood after eating something similar to chocolate in a seemingly shaky situation, and then defeated Zheng Qinwen; After drinking the water in the bottle this time, he suddenly became extremely brave, and then there was nothing wrong with Zheng Qinwen.

To be precise, this marathon battle, which took a total of 3 hours and 30 minutes, is indeed a great test of the physical fitness and willpower of the two.

Therefore, after playing the game for such a long time, in the end, it was hard to play in vain, and seeing the tears in Zheng Qinwen's eyes, many people thought that the first sister of China should indeed cry, she had a chance to win the victory, but the last cooked duck suddenly flew away, and it was a little difficult for anyone to accept, and crying was inevitable.

"I don't think there's a gap, it's just a matter of a few key points, but in fact I had chances from start to finish, maybe in terms of key points, and I may have dealt with a little bit more daring or a little more offensive at times." Zheng Qinwen admitted in an interview after the game that he would lose the game, not because of the big gap between her and Gauff, but because she was not decisive enough in handling key points.

Zheng Qinwen is obviously telling the truth! Some fans and netizens bluntly said that Zheng Qinwen was indeed a little conservative in his service game at that time, and wanted to win steadily, but he didn't expect Gauff's daring to take risks but disrupted her position, and finally made her pay a painful price.

"Come on Zheng Qinwen, yesterday's semi-finals have surpassed themselves, and today's defeat is just the cornerstone of your future glory." The warm comfort and encouragement sent by the China Tennis Association through the official account as soon as Zheng Qinwen suffered the blow of the loss is believed to be a lot of comfort for the first sister of China.

Although he failed to continue to make a breakthrough in Rome, Zheng Qinwen's mentality is very good, and he bluntly said that he will regard this match as a preparation for the French Open, which also makes people look forward to the next French Open journey of the Chinese first sister.

Being able to win in such a difficult situation, Gauff was also very emotional after the game, bluntly saying that he didn't even have the strength to celebrate the victory, "I feel that my physical strength has been completely overdrawn." ”

In addition, for the 16 double faults that made people speechless in this game, the American girl also gave her own reasons.

"Zheng Qinwen's baseline offense is too strong, so I can only gamble." In Gauff's view, it is obvious that Zheng Qinwen can't be too stable against such a match, but taking risks will increase the risk of double faults, which is why everyone will see himself make 16 double faults in the end.

After the game, many people bluntly said that the American girl really deserved to be a first-class player, and in the case of sending out as many as 16 double faults, she was still able to win the game in the end.(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
