Zheng Qinwen Aims for Australian Open Title

Zheng Qinwen, currently ranked fifth in the world, aims to become the second Chinese player to win a Grand Slam singles title at the upcoming Australian Open, building on her previous experience as a finalist where she lost to Aryna Sabalenka. Her journey draws strong comparisons to Li Na, a trailblazer for Chinese women's tennis, who won the Australian Open a decade earlier. Despite the gap since Li's retirement, China has four women in the top 100 rankings, showcasing the growth of the sport in the country. Zheng, who won an Olympic gold medal in Paris, is determined to overcome her nemesis Sabalenka, against whom she remains winless. As she prepares for the tournament, Zheng reflects on her evolution as a player and her aspirations for future success. The tennis world is keenly watching to see if she can fulfill her potential and achieve her Grand Slam dreams.
