Back in 2022, the young Chinese tennis sensation’s breakthrough on the women’s tour earned her the Newcomer of the Year award. While lauding her remarkable accolade, the Australian former tennis player Casey Dellacqua recently asserted that Qinwen Zheng’s recent success has been ‘pretty massive’ for the Grand Slam event taking place in Melbourne. As reported by Nine [https://wwos.nine.com.au/tennis/australian-open-2024-womens-singles-final-preview-aryna-sabalenka-vs-qinwen-zheng/6008c4fb-a088-4fb4-a057-4294ac5fd286], the 38-year-old tennis veteran said, “Getting to know a new face on the tour, she was obviously the Newcomer of the Year (in 2022) but I think for the general public and Australia, particularly for the Asia-Pacific region to get someone like her through the tournament has been pretty massive for the tournament.” Dellacqua went on to open up about how billions of fans will be watching her compete for the Australian Open title against the defending champion. The Aussie stated, “And I know there’s going to be billions and billions of eyes on that final tonight.” READ MORE- Tennis Beauty Paula Badosa’s Bold and Courageous Photo Sparks Sizzling Reactions From Boyfriend, Coco Gauff, and Aryna Sabalenka [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wta-tennis-news-tennis-beauty-paula-badosas-bold-and-courageous-photo-sparks-sizzling-reactions-from-boyfriend-coco-gauff-and-aryna-sabalenka/] What do you think of the Australian tennis veteran lauding Zheng for her meteoric rise on the women’s tour?

Ashleigh Barty's best friend opens up about how Qinwen Zheng's meteoric rise has been 'pretty massive' for the Australian Open.

Like millions of fans around the world, my foray into the world of tennis began
after witnessing the incredible domination of the ?King of Clay? over the past
decade. It was my passion for tennis that initially drew me to the dynamic field
of sports journalism. My professional journey in sports journalism with
EssentiallySports has seen me cover over 1000 articles, focusing on almost every
ATP and WTA tournament, including Grand Slams. Away from work, online video
games like EA FC occupy most of my time, and I am an absolute geek about anime.
Aside from my love of tennis, to say that I am an avid soccer fan would be a
vast understatement. I am an ardent follower of the English Premier League club,
Chelsea FC. So, you can often find me having passionate discussions about the
West London club with fellow soccer aficionados on X.
