You can climb the mountains, but you can t jump to the King of Mo! Zheng Qinwen missed the semi-finals of Rome

After defeating Sabalenka for the first time and crossing the "mountain" that lies ahead of him, Zheng Qinwen fought hard for 3 hours and 32 minutes on May 16, and finally lost to the American player Goff 1-2 and failed to enter the WTA Rome final.

Zheng Qinwen once described Sabalenka as a "mountain" in his career. In the last quarter-final, she challenged Sabalenka, who ranked first in the world for the 7th time. Zheng Qinwen finally crossed the mountain and advanced to the semi-finals in two sets. This was also the first time she defeated her opponent in her career. After the game, she posted on Weibo: "Everyone can tie the mountains and seas, Rome will be in the semi-finals."

When that game was going on, Gao Fu's coach also came to watch the game and prepared for the upcoming semi-finals. During this year's clay season, Gof defeated Svatech and Sabalenka to win the championship in Madrid, becoming the new world second in the tennis world.

Gao Fu is actually a relatively difficult opponent for Zheng Qinwen to deal with. Zheng Qinwen regretted losing both times before. In the first set, Zheng Qinwen fell behind 3-5, but Zheng then won three consecutive games and overtook the score, losing 3-7 in the tiebreaker battle, and trailing 0-1 in the total score.

In the second set, Zheng Qinwen broke the serve by his opponent and entered the game 5-4 to rest. After the adjustment, she withstood Gao Fu's fierce counterattack, broke the opponent's serve game, and tied the big score 1-1 6-4. At the beginning of the decisive set, the doubles were in a battle and each broke the opponent's serve. Zheng Qinwen once led 5-3, but was chased by his opponent to tie the game 6-6. In the end, Zheng Qinwen fell in the tiebreak again and lost 1-2 in the total score.

When I first entered the professional tennis world, Zheng Qinwen made a wish that "I can have more opportunities to confront top experts, so that I will improve faster." After spending the slump at the beginning of the season, Zheng Qinwen gradually regained his form. After defeating the world's No. 1 Sabalenka, he also played in a very stalemate with the world's No. 2 Gao Fu, which gave Zheng Qinwen a lot of confidence.

In the next French Open, Zheng Qinwen won the Olympic championship there last year. I hope she can continue to work hard this time and make a breakthrough.
