Chinanews client, Beijing, May 27th. In the French Open women's singles match that ended on the 26th local time, 19-year-old Chinese teenager Zheng Qinwen lost a set first, and finally ended with a 2:1 (2:6/6) :2/6:1) reversed and defeated the former champion Halep and entered the top 32 of the Grand Slam for the first time in his career.
This year, Zheng Qinwen participated in the French Open adult competition.
For her, the reversal and victory over Halep is of special significance. This is the first time in her career that she has defeated a TOP20 player.
"I feel good, this is my second Grand Slam and I'm enjoying every moment I'm on the court. I'm trying to play my best and I'm happy with my performance today."
Zheng Qinwen said after the game, "She (Halep) is a very good player, a two-time Grand Slam champion. I will always give my best, and this time I also returned to the court after an injury, so I cherish every opportunity to play.”
"I think tennis does not mean that whoever is stronger will win. Victory depends on many factors. It is necessary to maintain a stable mentality on the court to achieve the final victory."
"I've had some games in the past where I've led but ended up losing, and that taught me a great lesson. So every time I'm in a situation like this, I say to myself, you have to keep doing your thing, don't change anything, Don't think about winning or losing, just play at your own level, and the results will come naturally. I don't let the opponent affect me, just focus on myself and keep it up."
In the next round, Zheng Qinwen will face local star Kone, who eliminated the former champion and No. 13 seed Ostapenko.
This will be the first confrontation between Zheng Qinwen and Kone in his career.
