Hit the fourth place in the world! Zheng Qinwen made his debut on the grass in the early morning

The 2025 grass-court season has been in full swing, and the highlight of this week's tour will be the Queen's Cup. This year is also the first time in 52 years that the tournament organizers have reintroduced the women's event, which is a WTA 500-level event with a total prize fund of $1.415 million, the most in its class.

This year's Women's Singles main draw is 28 draws, and the top four seeds in the Women's Singles, Zheng Qinwen, Case, Navarro and Rybakina, enjoy first-round byes. Defending Wimbledon champion Kryjcikova, seeded seventh, lost 4-6 3-6 to Schramkova, who will face homegrown wildcard Raducanu for a place in the Women's Singles quarter-finals.

In addition to the No. 7 seed, No. 6 seed Mukhova defeated qualifier Inglis in the first round, and then fought hard in three sets with German veteran Maria in the second round, and finally lost to advance to the quarterfinals.

Mukhova was exempted from competition due to injury problems in this year's clay season, and did not return to the court until this year's French Open, after the Czech star returned to the tour stage, it is not difficult for attentive fans to find that she has to cut the backhand as the only option to deal with the backhand (one-handed backhand) due to injury problems, and Mukhova is still in rehab and has no way to use the two-handed backhand.

Of course, Mukhova is quite optimistic about this, "I think it will be more disadvantageous for me not to play, and at the same time, it is actually uncomfortable for others to fight on grass, and cutting is a good tactic. So I chose to go down with a one-handed backhand and maybe get a few wins while gaining experience. ”

The highly anticipated Zheng Qinwen will also make her debut tonight, as she and Kessler will compete for a place in the quarter-finals of the Women's Singles. The American, who is ranked 42nd in the world, won the Hobart 250 and finished runner-up at the Austin 250 this season, as well as beating compatriot Gauff in Dubai.

According to Zheng's participation plan, in addition to this week's Queen's Cup, she also registered for next week's Berlin competition. Given that Zheng Qinwen only scored 70 points in the grass court season last year, there is almost no pressure on Chinese Jinhua to keep the points, if she plays well, she is expected to become the fourth seed in Wimbledon women's singles, which will be more beneficial for the draw, and I look forward to Zheng Qinwen getting off to a good start in this year's grass court season!

Looking at Zheng Qinwen's results in grass court seasons over the years, she is 2-3 in the 2022 season, 0-3 in the 2023 season, and 1-2 in the 2024 season, so how many wins and losses do you think Zheng Qinwen can achieve in this year's grass court season?(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
