🏸 Zheng Qinwen Stuns Azarenka in Indian Wells!
Chinese Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen delivered a powerhouse performance on Friday, defeating former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus with scores of 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the third round of the WTA 1000 event at Indian Wells. 🎉
This victory marks Zheng's first win against Azarenka in their three-match history. Coming off a first-round bye, Zheng didn't miss a beat in her campaign.
Reflecting on her win, Zheng shared, "It's my first time beating Azarenka, such a great player. I tried to play solid, hit a lot of rally with her because Azarenka is very consistent. If I don't take my chance, you can see in the second set, I was 2-0 up, but she came back. She beat me twice when I was 19 and 21, so I'm very happy to win this match." 🏆
Meanwhile, in the men's side, China's Buyunchaokete faced a tough match against Russia's fifth seed Daniil Medvedev, falling 6-2, 6-2 in the ATP 1000 Indian Wells Masters second round.
