In the early morning of May 3 1 Beijing time, the fourth round of the French Open women's singles continued. After winning the first set 7-6(5), China teenager Zheng suffered a Swatek reversal on 0-6/2-6 due to injury, and unfortunately stopped at 16, but this was her best performance in grand slam events.
As the last player of China Jinhua in the French Open women's singles, Zheng's outstanding performance in the French Open made her story begin to attract everyone's attention.
Zheng's father revealed in an interview that he has never contacted his daughter since the start of the French Open, because the tacit understanding formed by the father and daughter for so many years is not to contact before the game. "The child is very self-disciplined. When he meets the mobile phone of the contest, he will turn it off and his family can't contact her. We also know that she is very busy, and too much contact before the contest will actually disturb her, so I simply don't send a message. "
Zheng was born in Shiyan, Hubei from June 5, 2002 to 10. Not only is her tenacious style similar to that of Li Na, but she is also called "Little Li Na" under the training of many Li Na.
Zheng Jianping is a track and field athlete, so she also hopes her daughter can learn a sport. When she was a child, Zheng really showed amazing athletic talent. At the age of 6, she used to go out "without hugging" or "riding" but trotting. So the family decided to send her to practice sports, but after playing badminton, table tennis and volleyball, she didn't show "talent". In 2008, she went to Beijing with her father to watch the Olympic Games and was deeply attracted by tennis.
In the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, except for the most basic information, official website's introduction to Zheng was almost zero, and even the avatar was empty. Now, with the outstanding performance of the four rounds of the French Open, Zheng's information and avatar are all complete.
When Zheng was a child, she worshipped Li Na, Serena and Christels. But after she became a professional player, there was no active female player as her idol. "Because you want to compete with them, if you want to win them, you can't put them on a higher level and look up. You have to look at them."
Perhaps it is the long-term training experience in Barcelona that makes Zheng more confident in the clay of the French Open. In an interview in February this year, Zheng was asked about his outlook for the next five years. She replied without hesitation: "I hope I have at least one grand slam champion in five years." Many people say that I perform better on clay, and I like the French Open very much. If I can win at least one grand slam, the first thing I want is the French Open champion. "
