The 2025 season of the Indian Wells Open has officially begun, and fans are very concerned about the performance of famous players, especially Chinese players. As a 1000-level event, Indian Wells has always been the focus of much media attention.
In between training and preparing for the competition, Zheng Qinwen, the current Chinese women's singles sister, was interviewed by a reporter from a sports platform, admitting that her performance this year was not very ideal, "My performance in the past few months has not been very good, and I have lost a lot of points. ”
Zheng Qinwen made her debut at Melbourne Park this year with zero warm-ups, and as the runner-up of the women's singles at last year's Australian Open, she was also the No. 5 seed in the tournament, and her first-round opponent was Todoni who successfully broke through from the qualifying round.
The latter debuted as the No. 12 seed in the qualifying round and made it through a three-game winning streak with back-to-back victories over Jimenez, Romero and American veteran Lepchenko.
In the end, fifth seed Zheng Qinwen won in straight sets 7-6 6-1 to win the first round of the most difficult Grand Slam in history. According to the draw, her second-round opponent is German veteran Sigmund, who eliminated American Baptiste in the first round of the Women's Singles.
Obviously, Zheng Qinwen still did not play at the level she should have in the face of such a veteran, and she was defeated 6-7 3-6 to miss the Women's Singles round of 32.
The result was clearly unsatisfactory, as Zheng took a break of almost a month after an early exit at the Australian Open and moved to the Middle East for two high-level tournaments, Doha and Dubai.
As the No.7 seed in this year's Doha, Zheng Qinwen faced Tunisia's Jabbar in the first round, and Zheng Qinwen stopped in the first round with a score of 4-6 2-6. Switching to Dubai, she was eliminated by Stearns in three sets. So far, Zheng Qinwen has only won one game before coming to this year's Indian Wells Open.
Of course, this is also indispensable to Zheng Qinwen's injury and the replacement of the coaching team, and the good news is that the famous coach Pere Riba has returned to Zheng Qinwen's team.
Looking forward to this year's clay season, Zheng Qinwen said that after the two tournaments in North America, he may go to the Charleston 500, but he is not sure yet, depending on his physical condition and the performance of the next matches.
"Including the next clay season, basically I will go to those tournaments."
According to the WTA schedule, this year's clay season includes the 500 race Charleston, the 500 race Stuttgart, the 1000 match Madrid, the 1000 match Roma, the 500 race Strasbourg, the highly anticipated French Open, and of course several 250 tournaments.
It is expected that Zheng Qinwen can adjust his condition and win more matches with a healthy body.(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
