The next round of the tournament will be held in the next week, and the next round will be held in the next week. The match took only 55 minutes and showed Zheng Qinwen's excellent athletic condition and strong strength.
Due to the rainfall on the previous day which caused the postponement of several matches, the schedule of matches on the 28th was quite intensive. Chinese players Zhang Zhizhen, Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xinyu, Wang Xiyu and Yuan Yue all participated in the day's matches. As the No. 6 seed of the tournament, Zheng Qinwen is ranked No. 7 in the world, while Elani is ranked No. 95 in the world. The two have had two previous encounters, with Zheng Qinwen winning both.
Zheng Qinwen had a great performance in this year's Australian Open and ended up as the runner-up, which made her ranking rise to the top 10 in the world. In the recently concluded Palermo 250, Zheng Qinwen successfully defended her title and is in great competitive shape.
In the first set, Zheng Qinwen quickly got into the swing of things, dropping a point in the first game but quickly adjusting to serve out the match with ease. She then found an opportunity in Errani's service game and completed the break first to take a 2-0 lead. After that, Zheng Qinwen's advantage became more and more obvious as she broke her opponent's serve in succession and finally took the first set 6-0.
In the second set, Zheng Qinwen continued her good form as she easily held serve again and then got two break points on her opponent's serve. Although Elani saved a break point, Zheng Qinwen seized the opportunity and completed the break to take a 2-0 lead. After that, Zheng Qinwen didn't give her opponent any chances as she served consecutively and finally took the set again 6-0 to advance to the next round 2-0 overall.
The victory fully demonstrated Zheng Qinwen's strength and confidence. She was very stable in every part of the match, whether it was the tug-of-war at the baseline or the interception in front of the net, all of them showed great skills. Her opponent Erani had little chance to fight back, and Zheng Qinwen was in complete control of the entire match.
Zheng Qinwen's advancement has also given a good start to the Chinese women's tennis team's performance at this year's Olympics. Her success is not only a personal achievement, but also a reflection of the overall strength of the Chinese women's tennis team. We expect Zheng Qinwen to continue to maintain her form in the upcoming matches and achieve better results for the Chinese Women's Tennis Team in this year's Olympic Games.
