Zheng Qinwen's surgery hospital has surprised netizens, and whether the "first sister" will compete in the National Games has become a new focus.

After announcing her elbow surgery, the public is not only concerned about when China's top player will officially return to the court, but also where exactly she had the surgery.

Previously, there were two speculations: one was that it took place in China, likely in Beijing; the other was in Spain, as Zheng often trains there.

The first speculation was quickly dismissed because Zheng Qinwen flew to Spain shortly after receiving the "Touching China" award. If she truly intended to have surgery, she would have stayed instead of making an unnecessary round trip.

Thus, the second speculation was considered more plausible. Since Zheng was in Spain, it was quite normal for her to find a local hospital for the surgery, as minimally invasive procedures are not overly complex and can generally be performed in regular hospitals or private clinics abroad.

However, the second speculation was soon disproven as well.

A netizen who studied medicine in Europe pointed out that the hospital where Zheng Qinwen chose to have her elbow surgery was not in Spain, but in Switzerland!

The reason for their certainty was that Zheng posted a photo on social media, revealing a detail in her hospital room that uncovered the secret: the socket exposed the location of China's top player's surgery.

So what is the significance of this socket that makes the netizen so sure that Zheng's surgery location is in Switzerland and not Spain? The socket type in Spain is type F, while in Switzerland it’s type J, and the socket in the photo is clearly the Swiss version.

After it was revealed that Zheng Qinwen's surgery took place in Switzerland, fans and netizens, who could be described as modern-day Sherlocks, quickly uncovered the hospital where China's top player underwent surgery.

This revelation shocked some netizens.

It turns out that the hospital where Zheng Qinwen had her minimally invasive elbow surgery is not just any hospital or a well-equipped private clinic, but one of the world's top hospitals, the University Hospital Zurich, which has an excellent reputation.

According to relevant information, the University Hospital Zurich is the largest hospital in Switzerland and one of the best in Europe, ranking alongside the Mayo Clinic and other top hospitals globally.

Many netizens expressed that it seems Zheng Qinwen has really spent a lot for her elbow treatment. "Although I don't know how much this surgery costs, given that Mayo Clinic is notoriously expensive, the costs at the University Hospital Zurich are likely not low either, especially for foreigners."

While discussing this matter, many people admitted that choosing the world's top hospital for a minimally invasive elbow surgery shows how eager Zheng is to return to the court. Such a minor surgery in a hospital with top-notch care and facilities clearly ensures a faster and more reliable recovery.

“I absolutely believe that Zheng can return for the Billie Jean King Cup in September.” Some expressed that many media reports suggesting Zheng Qinwen will lead the team in the Billie Jean King Cup without any further changes are due to the excellent medical conditions supporting her recovery. They humorously added that if Li Na knew this, she might feel inferior, as she never seemed to choose the world's top hospitals for her treatments after becoming a Grand Slam champion, while Zheng's choice is indeed a big deal—money talks!

The news of Zheng Qinwen's surgery in Switzerland was soon further confirmed by her father, Zheng Jianping.

The fact that Zheng Qinwen is having surgery has drawn attention not only from the public but also from the Hubei Sports Bureau, which is very concerned about China's top player's injury.

During a visit to Zheng Qinwen and her father's online school for research, relevant officials indirectly expressed their concern for Zheng through Zheng Jianping, who stated that he would immediately go to Switzerland to visit her. It is said that he left without delay and is currently by Zheng Qinwen's side.

This situation clearly indicates that Zheng Qinwen's injury recovery has garnered significant attention from the Hubei sports system, leading to another new focus in public discourse: Will China's top player compete in the National Games this year to bring glory to her province?

This year's National Games will be held from November 9 to 21 in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau, coinciding with the end of the Chinese season. Given the current circumstances, the public speculates that Zheng Qinwen may participate in the National Games, as the timing allows! Of course, there is a prerequisite: Zheng must be in good health and completely miss the Riyadh Year-End Finals! (Source: Tennis Home, Author: Moon River's Starry Sky)
