Wuhan Open: Local Favourite Zheng, Sabalenka Advance Into Third-round
Wuhan Open WTA Tour: China's ace player Zheng Qinwen made an impressive debut at the Wuhan Open WTA Tour event, beating Romania's Jaqueline Cristian in straight sets with nine aces to secure her spot in the Round of 16. This win marks Zheng's 40th victory of the season on the WTA Tour, making her the first Chinese player since Li Na in 2013 to achieve 40 wins in a single season.
In the first set, both Zheng and Cristian held their serves through the first four games. Zheng then shifted momentum, breaking Cristian's serve and holding her own to extend her lead to 5-2. Zheng closed out the set with a powerful ace on set point.
Cristian showed more resilience in the second set. Zheng had multiple opportunities to break Cristian's serves but initially could not capitalize. Cristian took advantage of a double fault from Zheng to secure a game, but Zheng quickly broke back and eventually forced Cristian to throw her racket in frustration in the seventh game. Zheng sealed the match with two more aces in the eighth game before wrapping it up 6-4, reports Xinhua.
