Chinese tennis sensation Zheng Qinwen is in Australia, gearing up for the year’s first Grand Slam tournament—the Australian Open, set to begin at Melbourne Park on January 12.
Zheng, who made waves last season with remarkable performances on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tour, is looking to build on her success. Her breakthrough came when she showcased her talent against some of the world’s top players, leaving a significant mark on the sport.
Reflecting on her journey, Zheng said, “It began to change my way of thinking. I started to play with better aggression while staying calm and focused. I nearly won against some of the best, but I have a bigger dream than that. It’s just a start, and I still have a lot of room for improvement.”
Seeded No. 5 for this year’s Australian Open, Zheng skipped the United Cup mixed team event to focus on her preparation for the Grand Slam. With her eyes set on the prize, she’s determined to make a strong statement in Melbourne.
Young tennis fans around the world are eagerly watching Zheng’s rise, inspired by her dedication and ambition. As the Australian Open approaches, all eyes will be on this rising star to see if she can turn her dreams into reality.
