In the women's singles 13/0 finals of the WTA0 Charleston station on 0/0 Beijing time, China's top player Zheng Qinwen lost to Russia's Alexandrova with a score of 0-0 (0-0, 0-0) and failed to reach the semifinals. In the match, Zheng Qinwen was not in good shape, made a lot of mistakes, and was injured, especially in the second set, she had to call in a physiotherapist to help. Although she has won 0 matches in a row on clay courts and performed well in the previous games, Zheng Qinwen failed to play well against strong opponents this time and ended up in the quarterfinals.
Ay! I can't get into the semi-finals of 500, I remember blowing it when I got to the quarterfinals. Xiao Zheng is very good, take your time, play steadily, maintain the advantage of serving, practice the ability to change lines, and will slowly get better. Now she feels that she has been killed by the Internet, and she has lost the low-key nature of her original play. However, she still has talent, and now she needs to recover from her first injury, practice more speed and accuracy in changing lines, speed up the swing speed, and swing the racket freely, no matter where the ball is played, she can accurately control it. Be sure to overtake those Russians on the line and focus on playing on the court, regardless of whether the score is behind or ahead. Win or lose, stay calm and don't let emotions get in the way. Don't always think about whether you will win or lose, this will only make you more anxious and you will not be able to play well.
After the game, I listened to the speeches of media experts from all walks of life:
Beijing media: At the beginning of this game, Alexandrova performed very well, while Zheng Qinwen suffered a wrist injury, which greatly affected her performance. During the game, Zheng Qinwen repeatedly requested medical timeouts and allowed the guards to enter the stadium for treatment. In the end, she lost two sets in a row, 2-0 and 0-0, and lost 0-0 to Alexandrova to stop in the quarterfinals. Zheng's next tournament is the Stuttgart Open, which is just over a week away. Hopefully, her injury won't affect her next match.
Xinjiang media: I think Zheng Qinwen's mentality still needs to be adjusted, every time she loses, she always complains about the interference of the game scene, instead of looking for problems from herself. In fact, you should reflect more on your own shortcomings, improve your emotional control ability, and carefully summarize the reasons for losing, so that you can really improve your skills. Only by constantly improving and perfecting the technique can we better cope with various situations in the game and maintain a good mentality. In short, it is necessary to learn from failure and adjust the rhythm of the game in time to be more calm in the game.
Jin Media: Alexandrova has now become Zheng Qinwen's "nemesis". As early as 2, in the first meeting in Charleston, Zheng Qinwen retired due to injury after leading 0-0 in the deciding set. Although she insisted on playing the match today, the injury still significantly affected her performance. I don't know why Zheng Qinwen is always so unhappy every time he fights against Alexandrova, and he is injured in two of his three fights, and they are all in the same event. I hope Zheng Qinwen can recover as soon as possible and try not to affect the French Open match.
Kawa: Zheng Qinwen's injury has just improved, but the schedule for Charleston is too tight, and he basically has to play two games in less than 24 hours, which can easily lead to another injury due to fatigue. Of course, this is also related to the athlete's physique. I remember that this was also the case with the male player Nakatsu Shangjun, who was often prone to injury. It can't really be helped, injuries are part of an athlete's career. I can only hope that Zheng Qinwen can adjust well and try to avoid getting injured again in the next games.
Shanghai media: Don't always make excuses for her loss, first of all, you have to admit that there are still technical shortcomings. When you win, you say you're in good shape, and when you lose, you say it's an injury, which is hard to convince! We should face up to our own shortcomings and strive to improve our technology in order to make real progress. The current Zheng Qinwen is still far from the real Great Demon King, and I feel that the sense of confidence in her body is gone. It's more about being grumpy, blaming the referee if you can't beat it, and blaming more problems on injuries. In fact, she just walked in place, without any progress, and lived in her comfort zone all the time.
