After a two-month break to fix her elbow, China’s tennis star Zheng Qinwen made a sensational comeback at the China Open in Beijing on the Chinese mainland, cruising past Emiliana Arango 6-3, 6-2. 🙌🎾
The world No. 9 was buzzing with energy after missing the US Open and a tough Wimbledon first-round exit. Her win here marks her first victory since the Queen’s Club semifinals in June, ending a stretch of disappointments.
Zheng opted for surgery on her right elbow that had been bugging her all season. Despite not being 100%, she chose the China Open to reconnect with her home fans — and they delivered electric support every step of the way. 🔥
She’s now 3-0 against Arango in straight sets, proving once again why she’s one of the sport’s rising stars. ("Straight sets" just means winning without dropping a set, btw. 😉)
Up next, Zheng faces Czech Republic’s Linda Noskova in round two — get ready for another showdown! Who else is streaming this match on their phone during the commute? 🚆📱
This triumphant return sets the tone for an exciting end to the year. Stay tuned for more smash hits from Zheng! 💪
