After the upset in the second round of the Australian Open, Zheng Qinwen fell into an unprecedented whirlpool of public opinion, among various different voices, there are encouragement, sympathy, but also doubt, and even anger and belittlement. And just yesterday, Zheng Qinwen once again responded to the reason for his upset, as well as his attitude towards various bad comments on the Internet.
In the past year, Zheng Qinwen has undergone an extraordinary transformation, not only reaching the women's singles final of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career, but also winning the women's singles gold medal at the Paris Olympics, all of which has skyrocketed her popularity in China. However, behind the glory, Zheng Qinwen is also under huge pressure, in addition to the competitive pressure with various opponents on the field, Zheng Qinwen also has to face the high expectations of fans and the pressure of public opinion after losing.
Just yesterday, in an interview with CCTV News's "Sports Zero Distance" column, Zheng Qinwen once again responded to the upset of the Australian Open.
Zheng Qinwen said that the high attention of domestic fans has brought motivation and pressure to himself, but it is normal for professional players to have ups and downs, and they only need to ensure that their results are at a high level most of the time.
She said on the show, "When I stand on Centre Court, there will be more support from the audience and friends, which is a very heartwarming thing, because they support me and I feel that I can perform better on the court. Of course, I also feel a certain amount of pressure, but I think it's a good thing because it's only when I'm under pressure that I can get the most out of my level, and I'm slowly knowing better how to deal with that pressure than before. ”
When talking about the premature exit of this year's Australian Open, Zheng Qinwen admitted that professional tennis players will inevitably have ups and downs, because there are many competitions in a year, and no one can guarantee that it will be in the best shape 365 days a year.
"Because there are always times when we don't sleep well, we don't eat well, or because all kinds of things are affected. Because tennis is not played every four years like the Olympics, there is basically a tournament every two or three weeks, so it is normal to have ups and downs. We just need to make sure that in most cases, we are in that high and consistent state. ”
"Of course it's normal to have ups and downs and get scolded, because now that I'm in this position, I'm ready to accept the possibility of all kinds of voices. How to make those voices not affect me, that's what I need to do. ”
In this regard, some netizens said, "It's normal for athletes to have ups and downs!" Good summary! Keep up the good work! Some "online coaches" don't babble to guide them, I have to say that the shielding force is really important, and it's a good habit to forget about useless things! Some netizens said, "Any athlete will have ups and downs, sum up experience and prepare for the next game"
However, some netizens said, "After winning the Olympic championship, many domestic media and fans put her in a position where she shouldn't have arrived so quickly, making her lose more time and freedom to precipitate herself and hone her skills!" The Olympic halo actually restrained her! Give her the baggage! It also made some changes in her mentality! This can actually be glimpsed from her recent post-game interview, let go of the burden, correct the mentality, pay attention to the shortcomings, ignore the killing, I believe that Xiao Zheng will have higher achievements! ”
In fact, this is not the first time Zheng Qinwen has talked about the "ups and downs" of athletes, as early as last year's US Open, Zheng Qinwen told fans that he knew that many fans began to pay attention to themselves after the Olympics, but tennis has ups and downs, and I hope fans can be more tolerant of her. However, in fact, Zheng Qinwen is experiencing the same media environment as Li Na back then, in the huge traffic boom, she was pushed to the position of "Chinese tennis leader", and her words and deeds will cause a huge storm of public opinion, which is also another helplessness as a public figure.
Of course, as a professional footballer, you have to face a lot of pressure and tension every day, but in fact, it is more important to be yourself, especially to concentrate on your own work. Here, we might as well listen to a classic interview with Collins. Collins said in an interview after this year's Australian Open: "It's been a really great storm of attention because I've already had five new sponsors coming to me for this tournament alone, which is a good sign that every fan has something to contribute, which is fantastic." I don't care what they write about me, I don't care about the people who live in the basement and surf the Internet, I'm just enjoying my life. You can't please everyone after all, right? You just have to care about your friends and family. ”(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
