Wien Wimbledon's first round just ended, and Chinese player Zheng Qinwen once again stopped in the first round. The opponent is Sinyakova, who ranks 81st in the world, and is not a seed player. This is Zheng Qinwen's third consecutive year of first round of tours on Wimbledon. As the No. 5 seed this year, it is indeed unexpected. After the game, she said something from her heart in an interview, which also caused a lot of controversy.

She mentioned that the game and training ground are very different, the lawn height is different, and the ball bounces differently. She felt that she had failed to adapt to the game venue in time, which affected the rhythm of the batting. In addition, the weather is also very hot, and the sun is just above her head, so she is not in good condition for serving. But she also said that none of these are the main reasons for losing, because the opponent is also facing the same environment.

match data can also illustrate some problems. Her first-shot score rate is low, her physical fitness is not performed, and her serves have not formed an advantage. The grass is fast and bounced low, which is not very friendly to her playing style, which is also what she admits herself.

But the problem is, the audience least buys her explanations. Many fans said directly in the comment section, "Every time I lose, I blame the venue and the weather. Why don't I say I can't play well?" Some people joked, "Can you only shine on the sun on Wimbledon and don't you?" Some fans were even more direct, saying, "If you win, you will be high-profile, and if you lose, you will be excuses."

Judging from the fans' reactions, everyone actually cares more about her attitude towards her. Losing is a common thing in competitive sports, but a top player should reflect on how to improve after failure, rather than mentioning external factors as soon as he opens his mouth. She herself also said, "This is not the reason for losing", but she has already mentioned so many external problems, which really sounds a bit difficult to accept.

Another point is that although Zheng Qinwen's opponent in this game is not ranked high, he has rich experience. Sinyakova has been competing in grassland competitions for a long time and has doubles experience, so she does get into the state faster during the game. Zheng Qinwen also admitted this. But this also shows a realistic problem: if you want to go further in the Grand Slam, strength alone is not enough, and mentality and adaptability are equally important.

The most concerned issue for everyone is: What is the problem with Zheng Qinwen? Haven't you really calmed down to play the game? Judging from the results of the Wimbledon round of tours for three consecutive years, it can no longer be explained by "bad luck". The grass is indeed not suitable for her style. Should we plan more events to adapt to the grass in advance, or practice in a targeted manner from training? These are the things she and the team need to think about.

and the management of public image. Now is the era of traffic, and players may be headlines as soon as they open their mouths. You can be in a depressed mood, but you can't always talk about the venue or the weather. This will affect the fans' perception, and over time, it may really hurt her professional image. Some people even say that she has "has a problem with her character". Although this is over, it also reflects the true feelings of some people.

In fact, Zheng Qinwen is still capable. Everyone sees the performance of the French Open quarterfinals last year and the Australian Open quarterfinals this year. She is young, motivated and talented. It’s just that competitive sports are based on the results and cannot always live on "potential". Every time I lose, I say "not the main reason", but if I can't win, I have to start asking myself where is it really a little bit short.

What Zheng Qinwen now needs is not more "explanation", but more "methods". Fans are not actually afraid of her losing, they are afraid of not seeing the direction of her progress. No one can win in a professional arena, but every failure will at least make people see how you want to win next.

I hope she can be more low-key and calm down, and stop saying "The sun shines on my head". Fans also hope to see her return to the right track and truly exert her strength. Next time, I will go to the Grand Slam field and can answer everything with victory, rather than the reasons and explanations in the interview.
