The 2024 WTA year-end finals have officially come to an end. Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen and third seed Gauff ushered in the final competition. This game is also known as a replica of Li Na and Serena Williams more than ten years ago. Unfortunately, Zheng Qinwen suffered a comeback after winning the first game and leading the final set, and eventually lost the game 1-2.
This is Zheng Qinwen’s first year-end finals. Although many voices were not optimistic before the game, and he was swept by his old rival Sabalenka in the first group stage, Zheng Qinwen never gave up on himself. In the group stage, they tenaciously defeated Lebakina, and Paolini, successfully got the chance to qualify, and defeated the famous Russian player in the semi-finals to get a spot in the finals. Since Sabalenka was defeated by Gauff in the semifinals, Zheng Qinwen also saw the hope of winning the year-end finals championship. Maybe it was the first time I played this kind of game and I lacked experience, or maybe I was too eager to win, and instead lost my own style of play in the critical round.
also missed the final opportunity to win despite having a great situation. Not only did he lose hundreds of points, but he also missed over a million US dollars in rewards. Although Zheng Qinwen generously congratulated Gauff for winning the championship in the post-match interview, it was obvious that Zheng Qinwen was very unwilling to accept the award. He presented the award with an indifferent expression and thoughtful eyes. He must have been thinking about how he could have been better in the game just now. Be more stable and make fewer mistakes, and the championship trophy will be yours. However, some voices seized on Zheng Qinwen's performance and deliberately smeared him, believing that Zheng Qinwen could not afford to lose and was not generous enough.
But on the other hand, Sabalenka, who lost to Gauff in the semifinals, dropped her racket in anger and lay on the seat with a towel covering her face. She did not want to face this fact at all, and did not say anything to Gauff after the game. Expressing congratulations and recognition, some fans called Sabalenka's performance a performance of personality and athlete freedom. Obviously, this kind of judgment standard is too double-standard. If Zheng Qinwen previously blamed the noise interference of the fans for the loss, it can be said that she cannot afford to lose. But saying that she can't afford to lose just with a cold expression is really unreasonable.
After all, this was Zheng Qinwen’s first time participating in the year-end finals. The gold medal had almost been put into her pocket, but she finally took it out again. It is estimated that no athlete can accept this fact immediately.
