Responding to the post, another user wrote, “Queen ❤️We need more female figures like this.” Zheng has continued to witness admiration from all across the tennis community. She has displayed some great potential and even clinched the Gold Medal at the Paris Olympics. Her prominence in China was lauded by her next opponent Aryna Sabalenka as well. Speaking after defeating Coco Gauff in the semi-finals, Sabalenka lauded Zheng and said, “Thank you so much Qinwen on winning the Gold Medal. I feel like Tennis in China is getting more popular and full crowd. That’s really enjoyable playing in front of you.” Similar reactions continued to follow from more users. 

“My favorite tennis player. Hopefully she will get past Sabalenka and Swiatek,” another user wrote. Zheng’s latest performances have indeed highlighted her immense talent. Besides winning the Olympic gold, she also clinched the title at the Palermo Ladies Open and was the runner-up at the Australian Open. Zheng further proved her dominance by racing some great stages like the quarterfinals of the Stuttgart Open, and the finals of the Wuhan Open which she will be playing in some time. These victories have helped her clinch the seventh position on the WTA rankings. If she manages to outshine Sabalenka in the finals, she will yield yet another successful result this season.

One more user praised Zheng’s looks and wrote, “She’s stunning…. Amazing.” Remember, this is not the first time when the star player has been featured in a prominent magazine in China.

She also captured pages of the Czech Esquire and depicted sensational looks. 

Yet another user expressed their admiration for the star player and wrote, “10 out of 10.” For now, it will be interesting to see if Zheng gets more visibility and is featured in more such magazines.
