Zheng Qinwen retired and fell out of the top four in the world, and the two major rivals were out, and the first sister retained her status as the fifth seed at Wimbledon

Zheng Qinwen announced her retirement a few hours before the start of the first round, which also forced her focus match against Rybakina to be aborted early, and everyone was disappointed.

Before Zheng Qinwen withdrew from the competition, the first sister of China took the initiative to reveal a good news: the brand sponsor's new shoes have been received! In addition, in an interview, when talking about the focus battle against Rybakina, the sentence "Accumulating experience points is not a problem at all", makes everyone firmly believe that Zheng Qinwen will definitely choose to defeat Rybakina and swear to fight this battle of the world's top four rankings before Wimbledon.

But in the end, Zheng Qinwen still withdrew from the game, and everyone was caught off guard!

"Zheng Qinwen withdrew from Berlin due to a right neck injury." After China's first sister announced her withdrawal from the tournament, the official WTA website also released the news as soon as possible, giving the reason for the right neck injury.

In fact, looking at Zheng Qinwen's retirement now, there were early signs before the game!

After losing to the American girl Asinimova in the semifinals of the Queen's Cup, Zheng Qinwen said in an interview at the time that whether he would play in the Berlin 500 depends on his physical condition, and "need to discuss with the team" seems to have laid the groundwork for withdrawing from the competition.

At that time, after seeing Zheng Qinwen and the team arrive in Berlin, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everyone had already arrived at their goal, and they also participated in the media event day before the Berlin game, and they should not withdraw from the game.

"There will be some physical worries because in the last game you saw that I was only the manager in my team and it really put a lot of burden on my body. This time it depends on my physical condition, and if I don't feel like I'm getting back to my best, I probably won't be competing. What the outside world doesn't know is that although Zheng Qinwen has arrived in Berlin, in an interview before the Berlin game, he did not promise that he would definitely play, and still gave a vague answer. Now that she has announced her retirement, everything is as she said when she was in London, the Grand Slam is more important, and this retirement is to try to protect Wimbledon that is just around the corner.

However, there are also concerns from the outside world.

Some people bluntly said that the grass court season has just begun, Zheng Qinwen only played three games on the grass, which induced a right neck injury, and when it came to Wimbledon, which was more competitive, he had to win seven consecutive games if he wanted to win the championship, "Can Xiao Zheng's body really resist it?" ”

In addition, some people pointed out that withdrawing from the Berlin 500 seems to give Zheng Qinwen more time to rest and adjust, which is conducive to recovering from physical injuries, but in a zero warm-up vacuum period for nearly half a month, the warm-up is not sufficient, can she still play well at Wimbledon and achieve the goal of "breaking the limit" that she has been emphasizing since the start of the grass court season?

Of course, these are all off-topic, I believe that since Zheng Qinwen insists that he is good at grass fighting, he will definitely find a way to improve his condition to the best before Wimbledon and play this grass court Grand Slam, everyone will wait and see.

After Zheng Qinwen withdrew, her hard-earned position in the world in the Queen's Cup was completely lost.

After deducting 60 points from last year's Berlin 500, Zheng Qinwen's instant world ranking has dropped to fifth.

Thinking that when the WTA had just announced the latest rankings, coach Pereriba excitedly announced the good news that Zheng Qinwen's ranking had rushed to the fourth place in the world through his personal social media for the first time, and now he has fallen back to the fifth place in the world so quickly, and the speed of the reversal is also a little embarrassing.

Although Zheng Qinwen suddenly withdrew from the game at a critical moment, losing the opportunity to hit the top three in the world that fans were expecting before the game, and also making fans and netizens a little disappointed because they couldn't enjoy the wonderful duel with Rybakina, the first Chinese sister still gained a lot of good news before leaving Berlin!

Since Keys and Andreeva, the two fierce rivals who pose a serious threat to Zheng Qinwen's ranking, have encountered a round of travel in Berlin, which also means that no matter what round the next person scores in Berlin, it will not affect Zheng Qinwen's current real-time world ranking, and the Chinese first sister has locked the status of the fifth seed at Wimbledon in advance! And after Wimbledon, whether Zheng Qinwen can improve her ranking and return to the TOP4 depends on her own efforts!

Interestingly, when many people are happy for Zheng Qinwen for this, the first sister in China is very Buddhist when talking about rankings, and she doesn't seem to care at all.

"Actually, for me, if I'm strong enough, then whether it's against the No. 1 seed or the No. 2 seed, as long as I have the quality, I can beat them. But if I don't have the strength, I can't win against anyone, and I don't really value this seed. Zheng Qinwen said frankly that she is not interested in the seed identity that the outside world is excited about, strength is the core key to winning, and everything is in vain without strength.

After Zheng Qinwen retired, Wang Xinyu also became the golden flower in the singles field of the Berlin 500. Next, Yu Meiren challenged the new French Open champion Gauff, and this is also a matchup that has attracted much attention!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
