Zheng Qinwen: I am used to being in the same district as Sabalenka, and Rome s performance improves confidence

On May 23 local time, Zheng Qinwen held a pre-French Open press conference to talk about the performance of Rome and look forward to this year's French Open journey.

This is Zheng Qinwen's first return to Roland Garros after winning the women's singles gold medal at last year's Olympics. In response, she said: "The first feeling is that I came to this venue again. I hope I can play step by step this year so that I will not leave any regrets. (Olympic gold medal) The most impressive thing is that I have struggled until the last moment in every game. I cried after one game, because the Olympics started from the quarterfinals, and every game of my game fell on that venue. That was the best and most unforgettable moment."

Looking forward to this French Open's first opponent Pavlyuchenkova, although Zheng Qinwen lost in the only match between the two last year, she Don't worry about this: "(Cincinnati's match) is not counted for me, because I had a serious cold. I was spinning around at the time and my body couldn't hold on. This game will definitely be a different game. Although it is the same opponent, it is a different moment and a different venue. She is a very difficult player. Her ball is very fast. Although her running is not so good, her ball quality can play a lot of winning points, and I will do my best."

As the No. 8 seed of the women's singles, Zheng Qinwen is in the same quarter zone as Sabalenka in this French Open. Zheng Qinwen said he is no longer surprised: "Isn't it all this? (Fourteenth quarter against Sabalenka) Actually, I I have become accustomed to it. First of all, I have to do what I should do. The opponents in every round are not easy (play), especially the Grand Slam. I need to come one by one, instead of thinking about who will meet in the quarterfinals, quarterfinals, and quarterfinals, or I still want to concentrate on the game in front of me."

Zheng Qinwen won the semi-finals of the semi-finals last week at the WTA1000 Roma, which also made many fans more expectant about her prospects for the French Open. She said: "(Roma) gave me more confidence and let me know that in this venue, I can indeed defeat anyone, but the venues of Rome and the French Open are still a little different. I still need to calm down and play one by one. My self-confidence has always been there, forever Nothing will be wiped out."

After losing to Gao Fu in the semi-finals of Roma, Zheng Qinwen revealed that she tossed and turned that night, recalling the scene at that time, she said: "(I thought about it that night) If I could handle this ball like this, would I win this point? If I win this game, would I win this game? That is, I regret a certain decision I made at that time and regret not doing this ball well enough. Because this game was lost in a very close way, for me at that time, I needed to spend a lot of energy to adjust my thoughts and not think of some very bad things at the trough."
