Zheng Qinwen's first battle in Berlin is confirmed! Against Rybakina, can she change her life or a round

Zheng Qinwen's debut at the Berlin 500 has been confirmed, and the Chinese sister will take on former Wimbledon champion Rybakina no earlier than 11:30 Beijing time this evening!

This match is also considered to be the most eye-catching competition in the first round of this year's Berlin 500, and will be the first to soar the enthusiasm of fans and netizens to the highest point!

There are two reasons why everyone is so concerned about this focus war: first, they want to see whether Zheng Qinwen refuses to take revenge or is avenged by Rybakina; Second, whether China's first sister can take the first step smoothly in defending the world's fourth ranking, or put her fate in the hands of others, whether she can maintain her hard-won position as the world's fourth place, and then it all depends on the faces of others.

Zheng Qinwen and Rybakina played each other three times before the Berlin 500, with the Chinese sister trailing 1-2. The only victory that Zheng Qinwen has achieved so far came in the year-end finals in Riyadh last year, when Rybakina had just returned from injury, and the Chinese sister seized the opportunity to achieve revenge against the Kazakh beauty.

Now everyone is particularly worried about Zheng Qinwen, in addition to Rybakina who definitely wants to take revenge with this first-round encounter in the Berlin 500, there is also the grass strength of the first sister of China is obviously inferior to the Kazakh beauty. If there is a mistake in this battle and encounters a round of tours, then in this battle to defend the world's fourth ranking, Zheng Qinwen will quickly be at an absolute disadvantage, and will be replaced by Paulini, Keys and others behind him at any time. If their overall performance is far better than that of the first Chinese sister in the end, by the end of the Berlin 500 Championship, Zheng Qinwen may not only hand over the fourth place in the world, but may even fall out of the top 5.

However, before Zheng Qinwen did not appear on the stage, he had already received a good news in advance.

Due to the unexpected upset of the Russian young girl Andreeva in the first round against Frecher, she staged a round of tours, which also made her lose the opportunity to improve her ranking in Berlin and jump in front of Zheng Qinwen.

Now the only people who pose a great threat to the ranking of China's first sister in Berlin are Paulini and Keyes, which will naturally reduce Zheng Qinwen's psychological pressure to a greater or lesser extent.

Judging from the reaction of the current public opinion, many people are not optimistic that Zheng Qinwen can defeat Rybakina, and think that it is very likely that the first sister of China will encounter a round of tours.

Judging from the odds offered by the bookmaker, Zheng Qinwen is 1 to 2.62, and Rybakina is 1 to 1.5, obviously not optimistic that the Chinese first sister can win in this focus battle.

Although the current information from all sides shows that it is difficult for Zheng Qinwen to defeat Rybakina, some people point out that this does not mean that China's first sister has no chance at all.

The reason of the other party is that judging from Rybakina's performance against qualifier Maria in the Queen's Cup, the outside world also thought that there was no suspense for the Kazakh beauty to win, but in the end, she was defeated by her opponent in two sets, indicating that her state was also unstable.

Zheng Qinwen is considered to have a good chance of beating Rybakina, and there is another reason, the Queen's Cup against Raducanu "repeatedly used the outside corner to cut serve to force the opponent to return the ball shallowly, and then quickly completed the volley", which was quite skillful in the use of this action, which helped her score 12 points and lay a certain foundation for the final run to victory. If he plays against Rybakina at that time, Zheng Qinwen will come up with this "grass-exclusive combo", which may be equally effective, and may change his life against the sky.

Although this method seems to be good, what the outside world is particularly worried about at the moment is that no one knows what kind of state and performance Zheng Qinwen can show against Rybakina.

It has been pointed out that the British's back injury against Raducanu may have affected her performance as well, as evidenced by her withdrawal from the Berlin 500, which naturally worked for the British. So, whether this trick is used against Rybakina, who is stronger on the grass, will still work, may really be a big question mark.

Therefore, someone directly suggested to Zheng Qinwen that he was extremely unoptimistic at the moment anyway, and the worst result was a round of tours, just fight directly, maybe he could use this trick to disrupt Rybakina's position, and he could find a certain opportunity for himself, "This game that was considered one-sided before the game will unexpectedly become a five-five open!" ”

Talking about the match against Zheng Qinwen, compared to the outside world's optimism about herself, Rybakina seemed cautious, and bluntly said that the strength of the first sister of China is very strong and not an easy opponent to defeat.

"She's playing really well now and she's done great things. She has an aggressive style of play and has played a few matches on grass. It's going to be a tough game and it's going to be very exciting. Rybakina said that she must give her all against Zheng Qinwen at that time, because the difficulty of the match is far from being as simple as the outside world thinks.

Zheng Qinwen was not optimistic in advance, and Rybakina was so low-key before the game, which made the final outcome of this key duel seem to be full of suspense. So, in the end, will the Chinese sister subvert the bookmaker's odds, or will Rybakina teach Zheng Qinwen a lesson on how to play on the grass and declare a successful revenge at the same time?
