After reaching the semi-finals of the Women's Singles at the Queen's Cup last week, China's Zheng Qinwen moved to Berlin to prepare for the WTA 500 Berlin tournament, where her first-round opponent was former Wimbledon Women's Singles champion Rybakina, according to the tournament draw.

However, Zheng Qinwen, who was originally scheduled to play yesterday, still chose to retire, after China Jinhua told the media that after he came to Berlin from the London Queen's Cup, he had some physical burdens, and the current coaching team is not complete, so it depends on the specific state to confirm whether to play.

In the end, Zheng Qinwen still chose to retire, and the reason for retiring was a right neck injury, so Zheng Qinwen will directly prepare for Wimbledon on June 30. At the same time, Zheng Qinwen, who retired from the tournament, also withdrew from the opportunity to compete for the fourth seed at Wimbledon.

With Keys and Andreeva out of Berlin this week, the top eight seeds in this year's Wimbledon women's singles have also been decided, from high to low, Sabalenka, Gauff, Pegula, Paulini, Zheng Qinwen, Case, Andreeva and Swiatek.

Zheng and his team will then make the most of the precious two weeks to refine their grass technique, with a focus of course on improving the consistency of their serve and the connection during their movements, with China's Jinhua emphasizing "health first" and aiming to remain competitive at Wimbledon.

News about Wimbledon came one after another, and the last Grand Slam of the year, the US Open, also came with the latest information. According to the tournament organizers, the lineup of this year's US Open mixed doubles has been confirmed, and the US Open mixed doubles has undergone a multi-dimensional transformation from the traditional schedule.
