First, Zheng Qinwen expressed his satisfaction with his performance. "I played well today, and the opponent was very difficult to deal with. She often retreated to the bottom line and flirted with me. In the first set, I relaxed after 5-0, allowing her to chase three games. Fortunately, I adjusted in time and got my serve back."

Secondly, Zheng Qinwen emphasized that she hated her opponent's Moonball tactics very much. "Before, I often encountered such opponents who flirted high balls in the clay court. I felt angry, that's very annoying. They kept flirting around. So, every time I scored a winning score, I would shout to improve morale."

"Faced with such opponents, if you miss a few balls, they will increase their morale. They will continue to flirt. For this kind of ball, you must be patient first. It is really difficult to kill directly in one beat, because the ball speed on the clay court will slow down. My physical fitness is better than them, so I must be patient."

Finally, Zheng Qinwen said that he has become more and more adaptable to the clay court. "Foots on clay are indeed very effective weapons. I have been targeted like this before, but now I am getting better and better with clay tactics. In clay court, I feel that I am getting more and more in the state, so let's see how I play in the next game."

Zheng Qinwen revealed that he would go to the streets of Rome to take a walk. "The ancient buildings in Rome have a unique flavor. There are many nude sculptures. For Chinese people, they may not be used to seeing them at first, but they will get used to them after seeing them too much."

Last year, Zheng Qinwen entered the quarterfinals at the Rome Station. After entering the top 16 today, Zheng Qinwen is only one step away from completing last year's score protection. If he can enter the quarterfinals, Zheng Qinwen will most likely meet Sabalenka again, who is her number one nemesis.
