Chinese tennis star Zheng Qinwen is charging into Wimbledon with a fresh wave of confidence after her standout performance at the Queen's Club Championships earlier this month. Seeded No. 5 at this year's tournament, the 22-year-old is aiming to rewrite her Wimbledon story after early exits in 2022 and 2023.
🔥 Grass Court Glow-Up: Zheng's semifinal finish at Queen's—her first on grass—has supercharged her mindset. 'That experience gave me a big boost,' she told reporters. 'My body feels stronger, and my team has helped me prepare better than ever.'
🎯 Coaching Power-Up: Teaming up with Spanish coach Francisco Roig (yes, the Rafael Nadal’s former mentor!) could be her secret weapon. With 20+ years of Grand Slam wisdom, Roig’s guidance might just help Zheng unlock new levels on the iconic grass courts.
📊 First-Round Focus: Zheng opens against Czech player Katerina Siniakova on Monday. While the world No. 74 poses a challenge, fans are buzzing: Could this be Zheng’s year to smash her third-round Wimbledon ceiling?
