2-0! Zheng Qinwen won the final victory + goodbye ACE, Paris won the first victory in the clay after winning the championship, and the opponent slammed the racket in anger

In the second round of the WTA1000 Rome station, the No. 8 seed Zheng Qinwen opened fire with all his energy, 6-1, 6-4 in straight sets, defeating Danilovic, who ranked 33rd in the world 2-0, successfully entering the top 32, and also achieved his first victory in the clay this season. This victory not only continued her winning streak against her opponent, but also injected a shot of a heart-warming shot into her clay season.

As the top 16 players at the French Open last year and this year's Australian Open, Danilovic's strength should not be underestimated. Although Zheng Qinwen is currently ranked 8th in the world, her performance this season is slightly dull, only breaking into the quarterfinals in Miami, Indian Wells (IW) and Charleston, while Madrid stops in the second round. Zheng Qinwen won the only time before the two met, and this time she met again, and continued her suppression of her opponent. In the first set, Zheng Qinwen quickly got into the state. With his extremely penetrating bottom line offense and steady serve, he achieved two breaks at the beginning, establishing a huge advantage 4-0. She scored 2 ACEs in that set, with a score rate of 87% in one shot, and successfully cashed in 2 of 4 break points. At the same time, she also resolved her opponent's four break opportunities and finally easily won the first set 6-1.

In the second set, Danilovic collapsed after a series of double mistakes and fell to the ball in anger. Zheng Qinwen seized the opportunity to break the serve first and lead 1-0. Although the two sides then launched a fierce breaking battle and broke through the first five games, Zheng Qinwen took the lead with a more stable performance 3-2. As the game entered the second half, Zheng Qinwen successfully held the serve in the 8th game and expanded the score to 5-3. Then in her serve victory, Zheng Qinwen scored 3 points in a row to get the match point. With a "goodbye ACE", she locked the victory 6-4 and advanced to the next round 2-0 with a big score.

Technical statistics show that Danilovic's first-mover success rate is only 47%. In the absence of effective first-mover protection, it is difficult for his bottom-line offense to make achievements. In contrast, Zheng Qinwen has the upper hand in all technical links with the success rate of 60% of the first shot and the score rate of 75%. It is worth mentioning that this is Zheng Qinwen's first victory in the clay court since winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics last year. I hope she will use this as a starting point to shine more in the Rome station and even the entire clay season.
