Rushing to Wuhan after the Chinese Open to prepare
Wushu tennis tournament
She will have two days to adjust to the first round of the tournament. She has two days to adjust to the first round and may make her Wimbledon debut on the 9th night court. After 5 years of playing at the Wushu Open and a first round exit last time as a wildcard player, Zheng is playing as the 5th seed and is looking forward to more victories and points in front of her hometown.
People are concerned about Zheng Qinwen's injury, she slipped and fell during the match with Mukhova, her fingertips rubbed skin. Zheng Qinwen told reporters that her knees and fingertips are only traumatic injuries, not a big problem, she can play normally, which makes fans feel at ease. Wuhan may not be as popular as the Chinese Open, many of the matches are on weekdays, the site may not be as full of fans as in Beijing. But for Zheng Qinwen, it's also a release of pressure, as there's extra pressure on the 12,000 people who watch the matches at the Beijing Diamond Stadium. Back in his hometown, Zheng Qinwen is more familiar with the environment and has friends and family watching the matches, which is conducive to play.
However, the Wuhan Open is a tight schedule, with matches lasting just over a week. If Zheng Qinwen starts the tournament on Wednesday and advances consecutively, it will be one match a day and basically at night. The end of the match plus interviews and treatment, rest may be until the early hours of the morning, as the last few fast-paced matches in Beijing, the mental and physical players is a great test. The Wuhan tournament may compete with physical fitness and willpower, and the China Open finalists Gough and Muchova, who arrived in Wuhan only today, will compete the day after tomorrow, which is also a big challenge.
At the Wuhan 1000 level, it is important for Zheng to get more points. At 8th in the instant championship ranking, just 108 points away from 7th place Navarro, she needs to go further and hope Navarro doesn't do too well in order to qualify for the year-end finals.
