In an electrifying match at the Queen's Club Championships, China's Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen lit up the grass courts by defeating home sensation Emma Raducanu 6-2, 6-4. The 22-year-old, entering the WTA 500 event as the top seed, showcased her tactical brilliance by calling a timeout to change into fresh trainers at a crucial moment.
Earlier in the tournament, Zheng battled through a grueling three-set match against McCartney Kessler that lasted two hours and 11 minutes. Now, with a commanding win, she sets her sights on a clash with American contender Amanda Anisimova, who advanced with a 6-3, 6-3 victory.
In the doubles arena, China's Zhang, partnering with Australian Ellen Perez, delivered a nail-biting performance. Despite leading early in the match, the duo stumbled in a tense ten-point tiebreaker against Anna Danilina and Diana Shnaider, leading to their exit from the competition.
This tournament is proving to be a showcase of emerging talent and thrilling tennis action. Stay tuned for more exciting updates from the grass-court battleground! 🎾✨
