Heartache! Zheng Qinwen: Losing to Gao Fu in Rome made me sleepless all night. I was lying on the bed toss and turned

reported on May 23 that in the semi-finals of the WTA 1000 Rome, Zheng Qinwen lost to the famous American player Gao Fu in the tiebreak. This loss caused Zheng Qinwen to fluctuate his emotions. On May 22, Zheng Qinwen admitted in an interview that he "can't sleep all night" due to losing, describing his condition at that time as if he was "tossing and turning".

In the 2025 WTA1000 Roma semifinal, Zheng Qinwen and Gao Fu fought for 3 hours and 32 minutes, and finally lost to the opponent in two sets (6-7(3)/6-4/6-7(4)), losing to the opponent three times in a row.

Zheng Qinwen missed the serve and won the game when he led 5-3 in the decisive set, and the number of mistakes in the tiebreak stage increased. The two sides made 156 unforced mistakes (74 times Zheng Qinwen and 82 times Gao Fu), especially in the comparison of winning points (22 times Zheng Qinwen and 27 times Gao Fu) exposed her lack of offensiveness in key points.

Gao Fu's defensive counterattack tactics suppressed Zheng Qinwen's double-counter line, and Zheng Qinwen chose to return the ball conservatively many times during the stalemate, but did not effectively target Gao Fu's forehand weakness. In addition, three hours of physical energy consumption caused her to decline in the quality of her serve in the later stage, with the success rate of one-time serve as low as 37%.

On May 22, Zheng Qinwen said in an event in Paris: "Like every game we play, there will only be one championship. You need to experience continuous failure in the rest of the time. For example, I will take the previous game as an example: When I lost to Goff, I just couldn't sleep all night and couldn't sleep. Just like the Chinese people say that tossing and turning, I really think it's not easy for athletes, especially as I grow up, the more I can feel it, because if you do something wholeheartedly, but the result is not what you want, you still need to tell you that you have to accept it and continue fighting next time. I Our next tomorrow will be better! ”

In response, netizens said, "I can't experience the hardships you have suffered and the pressure you have endured, but we hope that your heart will be the same, and you can't sleep all night and tossing and turning. Keep cheering! Victory will definitely walk towards you"

"Is there any intimacy? That night we tossed and turned"

"I knew that every time I lost, I was sad because I knew that my cat would feel bad."

" I empathized with it, one day, you will win the coco. This day is coming soon, believe you, come on!"

" This time Let's play well and fight with a normal heart. I believe that Zheng Qinwen can do it. "

" The ambulance is three hours, and I can't sleep after watching the competition."

" It's nothing wrong. Only one champion will be produced at each stop. Come on, Xiao Zheng!"
