Jie Zheng is ready for the Olympics campaign – Tennis News
Chinese tennis ace, Jie Zheng, who gave a nightmare to the American number one, Serena Williams, in the third round battle of the Wimbledon Championships is pumped up to perform her level best for the upcoming Olympics in London.
She impressed everyone by her stamina level and ability to stay in the match until the end and force Williams to dig deep and construct victory.
Final scores were 6-7 (5), 6-2, 9-7 in favour of the American who survived the stubborn resistance from the 28-year-old Chinese starlet on the eve of Saturday. It was a terrific match-up and the spectators were fascinated by every
bit of it. The 25th seed Chinese held the American for two hours and 30 minutes at the Court Two of All England Club and her enthralling performance confirmed to the world that she is capable of registering upsets and will definitely disturb the
top seeds when she returns to Wimbledon for Olympics campaign.
Zheng stated at the end of the match, “She (Williams) is a very good player, and I played very close in that match. I think it gives me more confidence for the Olympics, and also I'm so happy to come back to the Centre Court and
many guys came to support me and gave me the power to fight."
She further added, “I really wanted to win this match, because I remember this is my third time against her at Wimbledon, the Centre Court. So that also gave me more confidence looking forward to the Olympic Games." The big factor
in deciding the final winner of the match was 23 aces that were smashed right across the throat of the Chinese starlet by the big booming American.
Zheng added, “So that also gave me more confidence looking forward to the Olympic Games." It means that the Chinese player is looking ahead for the big dream run at Olympics and probably a gold medal across her neck at the closing
ceremony. It’s a dream but her recent performances shows that she is capable of converting a dream into reality. it is always good to hear promising comments with surprising results by non-seeded ranked players.
