In the second round of women's singles at the 2024 WTA1000 Dubai Station, Zheng Qinwen faced the 90th-ranked Japanese player Hibino Nao. His performance had some ups and downs, and he lost 5-7 in the first set.
After the first set, Zheng Qinwen, who was sitting in the chair, looked in pain and requested a medical timeout. After communicating with the doctor, Zheng Qinwen took painkillers and appeared again. Zheng Qinwen then fully demonstrated his strength, with two 6-2 comebacks, and finally advanced to the top 16 with a big score of 2-1.
But during the medical timeout, sarcastic remarks in the live broadcast room filled the screen : 1. Being able to reach the Grand Slam finals is purely luck, and there is no strength at all; 2. He couldn't even beat it in his childhood, and he said he wanted to win the Grand Slam. Champion; 3. I can’t beat him, I have another reason; 4. Retire immediately, it’s embarrassing; 5. I’m acting again... Some people even “greeted” Zheng Qinwen’s family during this Chinese New Year, and even went on a certain blog Search. Seeing comments like this completely overturns my outlook.
If you don’t know anything about tennis or Zheng Qinwen’s friends, would you still think that Zheng Qinwen is a Japanese player? Otherwise, why would everyone be so "hostile" to her?
一
Tennis is not a popular sport in Asia, let alone in China, and there are even fewer players who can make a difference in singles. The 21-year-old Chinese youngster Zheng Qinwen entered the Australian Open women's singles final this year. It has been 10 years since Li Na won the Australian Open in 2014. Even though Zheng Qinwen only won the runner-up in the end, this has already created a new high in her personal career. , is also the pride of the Chinese people. After the Australian Open, Zheng Qinwen was invited to a celebration reception at the Chinese Consulate General in Melbourne, which is enough to illustrate her importance as the Australian Open runner-up.

It is not only the Grand Slam champion who is successful. If there is a "champion only theory", then take table tennis as an example, except for the National Table Tennis Association, players from other associations are "losers"? If only Grand Slam champions get recognition, what's the point of everyone else continuing to play the sport?
Some people are "strict with others" but "lenient with themselves". Question: Can you earn "a small goal" in a year? There is a high probability that Zheng Qinwen can do it this year. Can you do it? If you are not as "successful" as her, don't you feel "ashamed"? In turn, he came to accuse Zheng Qinwen. Was it envy or jealousy?
Whether Zheng Qinwen is a "genius" or not, we can't say because she doesn't admit it herself. But since she joined the WTA Tour, she has moved one step at a time, from the "Rookie of the Year Award" to the "Most Improved Player of the Year Award" to now the Grand Slam runner-up and the top ten in the world. These are all Zheng Qinwen's games. What is played in a game is not given by others. Zheng Qinwen's skills need to be improved at this stage, and her status has ups and downs, but these cannot deny her excellence.
三
In terms of tennis, whether on the court or in post-match interviews, Zheng Qinwen is full of personality and makes no secret of his desire for higher achievements.
How easy is it to get ahead in a relatively weak project? How can you talk about rising if you are only submissive? Do sports also require players to learn to "hide their capabilities and bide their time"?
When foreigners speak boldly, Chinese people generally think that they are generous and confident; why is it that when it is our turn, some people think that they are too arrogant and not modest enough? Is it Zheng Qinwen who is "proud", or is it that some people have had "low self-esteem" for too long and cannot see a Chinese girl "standing out from the crowd"?
Huawei's Yu Chengdong is nicknamed "Yu Dazui". He dared to "brag" at the press conference, but his "bragging" was basically achieved. Is that still called "bragging"? Just set a challenging goal. These people deserve our respect.
How many people around us, including ourselves, have their own ideals and goals? Too many people are nothing more than zombies.For people with ideals and ambitions, especially young people like Zheng Qinwen, I personally envy them because they can find the direction and goal of struggle at such a young age; at the same time, I also admire them for having the courage to set big goals and fight hard. "Don't bully young people into poverty." What's more, no matter what achievements Zheng Qinwen will achieve in the future, her current achievements will exceed 99% of people in the world. I really don’t understand, there are still people laughing at her? Don't you think it's a slap in your face?
四
What is even more heartbreaking is that Zheng Qinwen requested a medical suspension because he was obviously injured. At this time, there were actually a lot of people "adding insult to injury". For the time being, we think that the guys who made sarcastic remarks can be called "people". This is how your parents taught you, laughing at others when they are in pain, making others more miserable, will it make you more happy? What are these three views? What kind of stuff was taught at home?
If you don't like Zheng Qinwen, then you can just stop watching her games. Why do you force yourself to suffer this? You won't die if you don't watch. While watching and scolding, is this a bitch looking for abuse? During the Chinese New Year, he even shamelessly "greeted" the players' families, which is simply not something a human being can do.
You don’t have to love me, but don’t hurt me wantonly. No matter how Zheng Qinwen's game ends, she doesn't owe you a penny. If you lose money gambling, that's your own business.
