"At the beginning of last year, I was in a very confident state, but because I had too many expectations for myself and could not grasp the balance point, my confidence turned into an invisible pressure. Later, through After a year of training and experiencing so many things, I slowly calmed down and knew what kind of thoughts I should have to become a better player." Zheng Qinwen said.

“Because I didn’t play what I wanted to play at that time, when I waited for the second and third sets, I was thinking whether I should always focus on the results, or I should play my own things, and Return to the essence of tennis." Zheng Qinwen said.
Looking back on the entire game, Zheng Qinwen believes that every game is equivalent to a turning point. He must stay focused, because he does not know when he will break serve when he is competing against an excellent opponent, so he can only wait patiently for the opportunity. "I adjusted my mentality after losing the first set, and tried to play more aggressively while maintaining stability and being less impatient."
In Zheng Qinwen's view, this shows that "the climax of Chinese tennis has arrived" because both male and female players are achieving good results. "I will fight hard on the court tomorrow. No one knows what the future will be like, let's wait and see."
