China News Agency, Paris, May 26 (Reporter Li Yang) The 26th local time is the fifth match day of the 2022 French Open.

Chinese women's singles player Zheng Qinwen reversed and defeated Halep, the 2018 French Open women's singles champion, and advanced to the top 32 women's singles.

　　Zheng Qinwen entered the second round after defeating Zanewska, who played for Belgium, in straight sets in the first round of the women's singles.

Her opponent in the second round was former champion and Romanian star Halep.

19-year-old Zheng Qinwen is ranked 74th in the world, and 30-year-old Halep is ranked 19th in the world.

The two met this year in Melbourne, Australia, when Halep defeated Zheng Qinwen in straight sets.

　　At the beginning of the game on the 26th, Halep took the lead.

Although Zheng Qinwen worked hard to adjust the rhythm of the game, Halep basically controlled the game in the first set, and Zheng Qinwen lost the first set 2:6.

　　In the second set, Zheng Qinwen's state continued to rise, but Halep was the first to break serve and established a 2:1 advantage.

Under the unfavorable conditions of being behind in the score, Zheng Qinwen's performance was stable, fighting with his opponents and reducing mistakes, while Halep's mistakes increased, and Zheng Qinwen's offensive was gradually defeated.

After a fierce confrontation, Zheng Qinwen won the set 6:2.

　　In the third set, Zheng Qinwen completely took the initiative, and her attack made the opponent difficult to resist.

Halep only tried to get back 1 point in the 4th game, but could not change the situation on the field.

Zheng Qinwen finally won the set 6:1 and won the game with a total score of 2:1. The whole game took less than 2 hours.

　　Zheng Qinwen said in a post-match interview that she learned a lot from Halep's Melbourne match.

She thought Halep was a very consistent player, and at that time she didn't have much patience on the field.

This time she tried to be more patient, trying to find a chance to win the game, and she's happy with the victory in the end.

　　Zheng Qinwen is the only Chinese women's singles player to advance to the third round of the 2022 French Open.

She may encounter the 2017 French Open women's singles champion and Latvian star Ostapenko in the third round.

Ostapenko is currently ranked 13th in the world.

Zheng Qinwen may face another tough battle.
