Chinese eighth seed and Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen lit up Roland-Garros with a stunning three-set victory over Russian 19th seed Liudmila Samsonova on Sunday. With a 10-match winning streak now under her belt, her performance on Court Suzanne Lenglen was nothing short of electrifying ⚡️🎾.
After the match, Zheng kept it real: "I really don't consider myself as defending champion. Right now, I'm still a bit far, and I just want to stay calm and fight every single match." This down-to-earth approach, letting go of past glories to focus on the here and now, really hits home for anyone chasing their dreams.
Up next, she'll face World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who secured her spot by defeating Amanda Anisimova. Expect a high-octane showdown as Zheng gears up for her first Grand Slam title. For all the tech-savvy and energetic young fans across South and Southeast Asia, this is one match to keep an eye on!
