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."
