Qinwen Zheng, ranked No. 9 on the WTA, erupts onto the arena with fierce determination. Her recent stats—4 wins, 4 losses—show a fighter finding her rhythm. Zheng destroyed Marta Kostyuk 2-0 (6-3, 6-2) in her last match, serving 3 aces with just 1 double fault. Her 56% first serve came crashing down for purpose, converting on 50% of break points and taking 40% of first serve return points, with 5 break points taken. Zheng is only 22, a whirlwind, her 178cm frame a fortress of determination. Can this Chinese diva reverse her fortunes against a formidable rival?
Iga Swiatek
WTA No. 2 Iga Swiatek strides onto the court like a conqueror. Her latest victory—a 2-0 thrashing of Karolina Muchova (1-6, 1-6)—was a lesson in control, even on a day when 0 aces and 1 double fault were the only concessions to fallibility. Swiatek's 65% first serve landed exactly where she directed it, and her 57% first serve return points and 5 break point conversions left Muchova struggling. Standing 176cm tall at 23, she defended to perfection, conceding 0% break points. Poland's queen of precision is a wall—will she continue to reign, or will this match light the flames of a new golden age?
