After seeing the stable performance of Sabalenka and Gauff at the Australian Open yesterday, I didn't expect Zheng Qinwen's fans on the Internet to panic, saying that they were very worried about the ranking of China's first sister.

Yesterday, the fourth round of the Australian Open women's singles started as scheduled, and Sabalenka and Gauff, the favorites to win the tournament, also appeared and won each other. Sabalenka, who took the lead in the early game, won a "crisp and clean" when facing teenager Andreeva. And what is rare is that Sabalenka not only showed full stability in this game, but also integrated a lot of small ball changes to make the fans' eyes shine, calling this simply "Zhang Fei embroidery", and in the end, the opponent was powerless. Looking at Gauff again, facing Bencic, who made a comeback after giving birth, Gauff lost one set in the first set, but in the last two sets, Gauff still passed smoothly with his active running and abundant physical fitness. The performance of the two players like this also makes fans think that the championship must be produced between these two people.

However, after this game, there were some very interesting discussions on the Internet. Some Zheng Qinwen fans said that after losing to Sigmund, Zheng Qinwen's world ranking has fallen to seventh in the world, but now seeing Sabalenka and Gauff's excellent form, I am afraid it will be difficult for Zheng Qinwen to recover his former ranking after the Australian Open.

In fact, it is not unreasonable for Zheng Fan to have such concerns. First of all, let's look at the Australian Open, which has not yet ended, from the current point of view, Swiatek, Sabalenka, and Gauff are in excellent condition, and the championship should be very likely to be produced between these three, so after the Australian Open, these three people should be firmly in the top three positions in the world. Paulini, who is currently ranked fourth, and Pegula who is fifth, are out, and Rybakina may also retire in the fourth round due to a back injury, so at present, Zheng Qinwen certainly has no room to improve the rankings. However, it should also be noted that Navarro, Kasatkina and Badosa, who are currently ranked behind Zheng Qinwen, have not been eliminated, and once someone between them becomes a dark horse and makes a wave of big points, Zheng Qinwen may be ranked lower than seventh after the Australian Open.

Secondly, after the Australian Open, there will be four major tournaments in Doha, Dubai, Indian Wells and Miami, and Zheng Qinwen only reached the quarterfinals in Dubai last year, so there is also a lot of room for improvement. However, Zheng's current arm injury is still a concern, and even if he recovers, it will take some time to find his touch, which also lays more uncertainty for the future performance. But you must know that in front of China's first sister are Paulini, who is known for her stability, Pegula, who rejuvenated at the end of last year, and Rybakina, who aims to return to the top, and these three also have very little pressure to keep points in these games, so Zheng Qinwen is currently facing a much more complicated situation, and if he is not careful, it may even lead to a further drop in the world rankings.

However, many Zheng Qinwen fans don't care about this, no, just yesterday, a Zheng fan posted a high-profile post on social media to support Zheng Qinwen, saying that if Zheng Qinwen can win these four 1000 championships in a row, she may even become the world No. 1.

The netizen said, "Zheng Qinwen is not in a hurry, the next four WTA1000 tournaments have a chance to soar from the seventh in the world to the top three in the world." If Swiatek and Sabalenka don't keep their points, Zheng Qinwen can even reach the top of the world, as long as Zheng Qinwen wins these four tournaments, his dream can be realized. At present, Zheng Qinwen has arrived in Spain. ”

However, soon, this post was also ridiculed by netizens, and some netizens mockingly said, "I can't say this without drinking two taels of fake wine!" What are you kidding? How can a player who can't even beat a 37-year-old German veteran win four 1000 championships in a row? This is as low as the probability of the Chinese men's football team winning the World Cup! Some netizens said, "How crazy are Zheng Qinwen's fans?" You should be able to see it here! They have even begun to hallucinate. Some netizens also said, "It's unbelievable, what can Zheng Qinwen do if a player like Xiao Wei can't do it?" Losing the Australian Open needs to blame the penalty, how can such a person be praised so highly by so many people? ”

In fact, since Zheng Qinwen became famous, the controversy surrounding her has never stopped. I sincerely tell you that the current situation in China is: as many people like Zheng Qinwen, as many people hate her. Therefore, we are also used to many people praising Zheng Qinwen very highly, and we are also used to many people belittling her as useless. However, it is clear that Zheng Qinwen will only face more pressure after the Australian Open, because for her, it will be difficult for her to break into the first-tier group led by Gauff, Sabalenka and Swiatek to win a Grand Slam title, or break into the top four in the world. So, what do you think will happen to Zheng Qinwen's world rankings after the Australian Open? And does she have a chance to become world No. 1 in the future?
