Asked after the race how he felt about returning to last year's Paris Olympic gold medallist, Zheng said: "I can also get a lot of motivation from last year's performance, and whenever I get into a difficult situation, I always say to myself, 'Keep up, you've been through a lot of really difficult races'. I hope I can enjoy more games at this venue. ”

Looking forward to the next round of opponents, Zheng Qinwen said, "No matter what kind of opponent you are, you must first do your best, and then think about what kind of tactics the opponent will use." As long as I can get a good success rate on my serve and reduce my mistakes, I can play where I want to play and know what I need to do with every point, even if I don't know my opponent well. At the end of the game, I was actually fighting myself, because my level was already there. ”
