Chinese tennis star Zheng Qinwen is gearing up for the 2024 Paris Olympics with the same fiery determination that propelled her to the Australian Open final earlier this year. The 21-year-old, who became the second player from the Chinese mainland to reach a Grand Slam singles final, clinched her Olympic qualification by winning gold at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou 🥇.
Despite her historic run in Melbourne, where she fell to Belarus' Aryna Sabalenka, Zheng remains unfazed. \"I’ve learned how to train smarter and fight harder,\" she told China Media Group. \"Every match teaches me something new.\"
While fans often compare her to Chinese legend Li Na, Zheng is carving her own path. \"We’re all unique—why be the ‘next someone’? Let’s just be our best selves,\" she said, channeling main-character energy 💪.
Though recent setbacks at the French Open and Wimbledon tested her resilience, Zheng’s eyes are locked on Paris. \"Playing for my country is everything,\" she shared. \"I’ll bring my A-game to defend our honor.\" Will her Olympic debut spark a new chapter? The world is watching 🌍✨.
