Chinese tennis star Zheng Qinwen just smashed her way into the record books at the China Open! The Paris Olympics gold medalist staged an epic comeback after dropping the first set to defeat USA's Amanda Anisimova 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 – securing her first-ever quarterfinal spot at the WTA 1000 event in Beijing.
The home crowd erupted as the No. 5 seed turned the tide with blistering backhand winners and thunderous serves. After a tight opening set where Anisimova capitalized on net cords, Zheng dominated like she'd unlocked cheat codes
– winning 12 of the next 15 games!
\"This victory means everything,\" said the 2024 Australian Open finalist, who's now eyeing her next challenge against Russian teen sensation Mirra Andreeva on Friday. Will Zheng's golden summer continue? All eyes are on Beijing!
