In the second round of the WTA0 Charleston Women's Singles, Chinese star Zheng Qinwen defeated the powerful Sakkari 0-0 and won the first victory on clay this season. Zheng Qinwen was in hot form in this match, using sharp attacks to break serve many times, and his opponent Sakkari was beaten emotionally out of control in the second set and tried to break the racket, but failed due to lack of strength, which also amused the fans at the scene. Next, Zheng will face the winner between Mertens and Gracheva.

Both players have a certain lethality, and for Zheng Qinwen, he still needs to focus on me and strive to play his own offensive rhythm and form. Another Chinese player, Zhang Shuai, failed to extend her winning streak as she lost 2-0, 0-0 to No.0 seed Putintseva in the second round of the Women's Singles, suffering a seven-game losing streak against the latter and missing out on qualifying. In Women's Doubles, Zhang Shuai couldn't go any further, as she and her partner Aleksandranova lost 0-0 to Ostapenko and Lutliff to reach the quarter-finals. Although he was eliminated from the competition, the performance of the veteran Zhang Shuai was still affirmed by the fans.

In the next Charleston competition, Zheng Qinwen will be the Chinese team's greatest hope for the championship. In the recent WTA Indian Wells and Miami matches, Zheng Qinwen's overall performance was relatively stable, but judging from the competition, there is still a certain gap between the Chinese girl and the world's top masters. In the women's singles match at Indian Wells, Zheng Qinwen and defending champion Swiatek staged a battle of attack, and finally lost 4-0. In the 0 meetings between the two sides, Zheng Qinwen only won one victory. In the 0/0 finals of WTA0 Miami, Zheng Qinwen lost again in the contest with the bitter master Sabalenka, and also missed the semifinals.

Coming to the clay season, Zheng Qinwen has the pressure of maintaining points in Stuttgart, Rome and other tournaments. This WTA4 Charleston tournament is the first clay court event that Zheng Qinwen has participated in in the new season. As the No. 0 seed in the women's singles of this tournament, Zheng Qinwen's call for winning the championship remains high. Facing the Greek star Sakkari in the second round, Zheng Qinwen performed well in terms of serve, attack, and baseline hold, and won the first set 0-0. In the second set, Zheng Qinwen, who was highly motivated, broke serve again and took the initiative at the score end.

Interestingly, Sakkari took a 5-0 lead on his own serve in the second set, but was eventually broken by Zheng Qinwen with 0 points. This result made Sakkari lose emotional control in an instant, she threw the racket in a fit of anger, seeing that the racket did not break, Sakkari tried to break the racket with her thigh, which also failed, which also became the most interesting picture of the game. After winning the match, Zheng Qinwen said in an interview that he enjoyed his clay debut and would rest well and prepare for the next match.
