🏆 Chinese tennis sensation Zheng Qinwen is hitting the courts Down Under, gearing up for the Australian Open starting on January 12 at Melbourne Park. 🎾
After a mind-blowing 2024, where she snagged the women's singles gold at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics 🥇 and claimed the runner-up spot at the WTA Finals, Zheng is all set to bring her A-game to the year's first Grand Slam!
Her epic journey in 2024 kicked off at the Australian Open, where she wowed fans by reaching the finals. Even though she fell short to Belarusian star Aryna Sabalenka, Zheng's performance was a total game-changer for her career.
'It began to change my way of thinking,' Zheng shared. 'I started to play with better aggression while staying calm and focused. I nearly won a Grand Slam title, but I have a bigger dream than that. It's just a start, and I still have a lot of room for improvement.' 💪
Skipping the United Cup mixed team event to focus on her training, Zheng enters the Australian Open as the No. 5 seed. Can't wait to see her smash it on the court! 🚀
