Chinese tennis star Zheng Qinwen has swapped her racket for recovery tools after announcing successful elbow surgery this weekend. The 2024 Olympic gold medalist took to social media to share her health update with fans worldwide 🌍.
'This brief adjustment is for a stronger comeback,' wrote the World No. 4, who's been battling persistent elbow pain during recent tournaments. After consulting specialists, Zheng and her team opted for minimally invasive surgery – the sports world's equivalent of a software update 💻.
The timing comes after a tough grass-court season, including a first-round Wimbledon exit. But let's not forget: this is the same player who rocketed to career-best rankings earlier this year 🚀. Now focused on rehab, Zheng promises to return 'at 100 percent' – because champions don't stay sidelined for long.
Her message to fans? Simple but fierce: 'We will meet on the court.' Game on!
