PARIS, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Chinese sensation Zheng Qinwen beat Emiliana Arango of Colombia 6-2, 6-3 in the women’s singles second round of the French Open on Wednesday.
Olympic champion Zheng took an upper hand throughout the match and didn’t give the 24-year-old Arango many chances to bounce back.
"She [Arango] had great defense skills. When I saw the short ball, I got to go to the net to finish the point whatever happened. I feel if we stayed in the baseline, she could put all the balls back, which was a difficult match. I am really happy with my performance," Zheng said after the match.
Zhena recalled a sweet memory at Roland Garros, as she triumphed in the women’s singles at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. "Even myself, I got a lot of inspiration from last year. When I am in difficult moments, I always remember to keep fighting. I really love the French crowd. I would like to play more matches here," the 22-year-old added.
In the third round, Zheng will confront Canadian player Victoria Mboko who just defeated Germany’s Eva Lys in straight sets 6-4, 6-4.
