How they play

Qinwen Zheng reached the Australian Open final, won Paris Olympic gold, and reached the WTA Finals championship match during a breakthrough 2024 season. Her forceful first strike from a high contact point is compelling to watch.

Heavy first blows from serve and forehand push opponents back, and she drives down on high balls from out in front. When the attacking chance is delayed, resisting the urge to narrow the target too much becomes important.

What to watch

If you are new to this player

Watch how her height creates a high contact point and wider serve angles.
Before the short ball appears, notice how depth first moves the opponent behind the baseline.

For a closer look

Point by point, record the recurring link between serve placement and the direction of the next forehand.
When an attack extends, compare whether she preserves her distance from the baseline or moves too far inside.
