God decides! Zheng Qinwen's mixed doubles withdrawal created a win-win situation for Chinese tennis, and two 3 people entered the finals + joined hands to win gold

In the mixed doubles semifinals of the Paris Olympics that ended on the evening of August 1, Beijing time, the Chinese pair Zhang Zhizhen/Wang Xinyu staged a big reversal for three consecutive rounds, eliminated the Netherlands strong Kurhoff/Scholes through the tiebreaker, and advanced to the tennis mixed doubles final. In the women's singles semifinals that ended earlier, Zheng Qinwen also surprised the Chinese people, knocking out the world's No. 1 Swiatek and entering the women's singles final.


Both events reached the Olympic finals, and Chinese tennis really "celebrated the New Year" this night. Many netizens praised the Chinese tennis team, and the wise decision to let Zheng Qinwen withdraw from the tournament was exchanged for the Chinese team's double-line performance.


As we all know, China originally sent Zhang Zhizhen and Zheng Qinwen to partner in the mixed doubles, but because Zheng Qinwen had previously fought with United States' Navarro in the 1/8 final for more than 3 hours, she simply did not have the physical strength to continue to play in the first round of mixed doubles that started one hour later.


In the end, the Chinese tennis team made a wise decision. Let Wang Xinyu replace Zheng Qinwen and partner with Zhang Zhizhen. As it turned out, this decision was all too wise. First of all, Wang Xinyu was already out of the women's singles and women's doubles at that time, and there was no task to participate, and like Zhang Zhizhen, who was out of the men's singles, she could concentrate on the mixed doubles. Secondly, Wang Xinyu's doubles ranking is actually higher than Zheng Qinwen's, and she was the women's doubles champion at last year's French Open. Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen will obviously be more likely to spark than Zheng Qinwen, who pays more attention to singles.


Sure enough, in the 3rd round, Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu were full of tacit understanding despite being partners for the first time, and although the opponents they encountered in Brazil, Australia and Netherlands were all doubles, they reversed the test for 3 consecutive games and played quite domineering.


At the same time, after withdrawing from the mixed doubles, Zheng Qinwen can also focus on the women's singles medal, and she has successfully made history by reaching the final. In this way, because of Zheng Qinwen's decision to withdraw from the mixed doubles, the Chinese tennis team has locked up two medals in this Olympic Games, and may even win the gold medal in the end.
