Zheng Qinwen appeared in Madrid to start his comeback training, and he was in a relaxed state, but he still brought elbow pads to cause concern

Just today, China's No. 1 sister Zheng Qinwen confirmed that she has arrived in Madrid to start preparations for the first clay WTA1000 tournament of the year.

Zheng Qinwen suffered an elbow injury in Charleston's match against Alexandrova this year. She applied for three medical time-outs in a row and took painkillers, however, despite being treated on the spot, she still shed tears in public due to the unbearable pain, and finally regretted her exit. An injury in Charleston caused her to withdraw from the subsequent Stuttgart event. However, what is surprising is that the first sister in China denied such a statement in her statement, but said that she was just physically exhausted.

On April 11, the official release of Zheng Qinwen's withdrawal from Stuttgart made many fans speculate that the injury was not a minor injury. At the time, the Chinese sister said in a statement: "It's a pity that I have to withdraw from next week's race from Stuttgart. After a few weeks in the US, my body was exhausted and needed a good rest to get back to 100%. I had a lot of fun playing in Stuttgart last year and unfortunately missed this year's game, but I'm really looking forward to coming back next year. ”

Regardless of the specific reason, the physical condition of the first Chinese sister is indeed worrying, but not long after, Zheng Qinwen posted a photo of himself on his beach vacation on his personal social media to report to fans that she is safe. As you can see from the photo, Zheng Qinwen appeared on the beach in a pale yellow dress, with a breeze blowing, long hair fluttering, and a very relaxed state. And Zheng Qinwen's long skirt went to sea to take photos, and the entry for taking photos quickly rushed to the hot search, in this regard, many netizens praised and left messages: "Queen Wen, super beautiful!" ”

And just yesterday, the official Madrid account uploaded a video of Zheng Qinwen's training in Spain. It can be seen from the video that Zheng Qinwen's current health is fine. In training, although she still wears elbow pads, she is able to run, attack and defend without any obstacles, and she should have fully recovered from her injury. However, it is worth mentioning that in this training, Zheng Qinwen focused on practicing the backhand return serve and a lot of backhand shots, and it seems that he still has lingering palpitations about the old injury in his right elbow.

After the training, Zheng Qinwen was in a good mood when he left the field. After seeing the camera, she greeted generously, and it seemed that she had stepped out of the shadow of the regretful defeat 15 days ago.

This year's WTA1000 Madrid will start on April 22. Zheng Qinwen has participated in Madrid three times before, and the results are not satisfactory: she lost to Mukhova in the first round in Madrid 2022, a first-round bye in Madrid 2023, defeated McNally in the second round, Alexandrova in the third round, a first-round bye in Madrid 2024, and a second-round loss to Putintseva. This year, due to the retirement of Charleston and the imminent French Open, the first Chinese sister is under great pressure in Madrid, and she must come up with some convincing performances.

In this regard, some fans said, "Fighting with injuries will also affect Zheng Qinwen's serve to some extent, after all, the decline in the number of Zheng Qinwen's ace balls this season is also obvious to all." If the scoring rate of the first serve is not high, the opponent will target Zheng Qinwen's second serve, which makes her mistakes start to become more and more. So Zheng Qinwen sometimes plays very passively when facing smart opponents. If Zheng Qinwen is completely healthy, she can use her serve to score a lot of points, and at critical moments, the ace can also help her save break points, which is what she does best. But this season, Zheng Qinwen's service data has dropped sharply, which has to attract her attention, especially the management of injuries, which has become a big problem for Zheng Qinwen this season. Therefore, it is better to lower the expectations a little more, and it is good to be able to play healthy and complete this season. ”(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
