Learning on the job 📈 In just her second major, 19-year-old Qinwen Zheng eliminates 2018 champion Halep 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 #RolandGaroos
Chinese Zheng Qinwen secured the biggest win of her career by ranking in the second round of Roland Garros coming back from a set and a break down to stun 2018 champion Simona Halep 2-6 6-2 6-1.
Zheng, 19, took just under 2 hours to pull off the comeback upset and reach the third round at a major for the first time. Speaking after the match, she said:
"I feel really nice. It's a second Grand Slam for me, so I enjoy every chance that I stand on the court. I try to give my best like always and I'm glad [about] my performance today."
She continued:
"In [their Melbourne match] I learned a lot, that she was a very consistent player, and in that moment I [didn't] have too much patience on court. This time I tried to stay with her more on court, trying to be more patient, find the chance to win the rally, and that's what I learned. So I'm glad that I can perform on court today, and that's how I got the win."

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
