Wow! Queen Zheng's powerful first serve (#1 at # of aces in 2024 WTA so far) and speed are showing her potential to be one of the best players again. Obviously, you can never underestimate the home court advantage. BTW, Fernandez has been playing well too. I am not sure if her previous two tough three-set matches have affected her physical strength. On the other hand, this is only the 2nd game of Zheng as one of the top seeded players.
I’m happy to see that Zheng’s serve has been getting better this year. That was one area of improvement that she worked on. Lots of work to still do but hoping she goes all the way. A WTA 1000 win would boost her confidence massively
@@Karlmarx-r9d that is why she's so promising. There are obvious gaps in her game now: 1st serve rate (nuclear weapon that either blows away her opponent or self-implodes), 2nd serve (players like Andreeva, Sabalenka, Muchova FEAST on it), return game (percentage of return games won is basically top 20 level, and not near the top 3 women, once this goes up, she should be able to handle players like Gauff, Pegula, and Michova much better), more shot selection (taking a bit from the Muchova and peak Ons type of players would help her with against players like Sabalenka, and Rybakina). And even with all that said, her powerful groundstrokes, unstoppable serve when it's on, ability to generate plays and hit at unreturnable angles, athleticism, and her mental prowess of problem solving her way from a set down has already taken her into the Top 10 and makes her dangerous for any of the top players to face.
Very important victory for the race to the finals in Riyadh, now she has a 107-point advantage over Navarro, a clear victory in the end but Qinwen always plays with too much tension, I understand her a little, it must not be easy especially in China for a superstar like she has become to always keep the tension at the right level, but in this way she risks throwing away good opportunities. Leyla is a very fearsome opponent for anyone, moreover it is never easy to face left-handed players and credit to her for the good match despite the last set lost to love, next challenge Zheng Paolini another match that promises to be exciting, who knows if just as Qinwen dispelled the 0 to 2 with Leyla now the opposite can happen with Paolini with the same disadvantage with Zheng
My question is japanese is short heighted yet outforming many countries in 100m sprint , soccer , tennis , volleyball etc etc .. which kind of drug do they use ??? Wada must investigate.. just like when olympic comes italians take drugs .. mercel jacobs performance improve from 9.99 to 9.80 sec lol
Is there extended footage of the 3rd set anywhere? Did Qinwen just convert breakpoints more efficiently, or was the bagel set an absolute steamrolling?
Congratulations Qinwen! Fernandez is a tough opponent. Before this match, Fernandez was 2-0 head to head against Qinwen. A great comeback for Qinwen, down by the 1st set. All the Best Wishes in the forthcoming matches.
Qinwen has lost twice to Fernandez. But she has improved very much now. Glad she managed to reverse her losses. But I am curious to know why she loses so many first sets to good players before turning around on the second and third sets. It happen so many times when she plays good players. She needs to figure out how to play her best from the first game. Hope her team will work more on her first set consistency.
I think Qinwen plays with a problem solver mentality, which is very good (arguably something players like Iga lack), but can be kind of passive because she uses the first set to figure out the other player and is more reserved with her own game.
That's apparently wrong. It always easy to blame the dad, but without her dad's coaching, she would not even be in top 300. players like her athleticism are everywhere.
Skill-wise, Fernandez is one of the best. Her weakness is power. For this reason, she is just an average professional player. However, her play is nice to watch.
Zheng won the last set completely one-sided, yet the highlight showed two winning points for each player. Could use more highlight of Zheng, I'm sure she played some great points in that set!
Fernandez is a wonderful player with incredible hand skills and speed. What she lacks at this level is the strength in the upper body. As a smaller player, she needs to take a page out of Jasmine Paolini‘s book. Jasmine’s power is her secret weapon for a player even shorter than Fernandez. Perhaps her lack of weight training is due to her dad being her coach?
Finally a commentator who pronounced Qinwen’s name correctly. Chin-wen not Kin-wen. Some Chinese words are hard for native English speakers to say but not Qinwen’s name, so about time!
@@songmingyuan7660the closest sound in English is Chin... I don't think English has the "q" sound of Mandarin! It would take serious training to be able to master that sound!
I’m sorry we don’t want Leylah to end up like Stefanos who only realized that he needs a different coach at 26 years old. Please don’t waste this potential…
@@robertmartin7594 Last week at the China Open, Beijing. Quarterfinals against Mirra Andreeva: 5-7, 6-0, 6-4. Notice, she also lost the first set there. You're welcome.
@@robertmartin7594 Going further back, at the Paris Olympics. First round against Sara Errani: 6-0 6-0 !!!!!!!!!! LOL! No, she's not Iga, because she beat Iga in the semi-finals before taking the gold medal. LOL!!!
After watching the match between Leyla Fernandez and Rakhimova in the second round my feeling was that if Leyla played at that level (lots of double faults and unforced errors) she would be destroyed by Qinwen in the third round. Well to my surprise, Leyla elevated her game during the first set and ended up winning it. Guess what happened in the second and third set...Leyla level came back to the level she played in the first and second round matches and she got beaten badly by Qinwen. It is always the same story, if Leyla fixes her current weaknesses, specially her serve (which is very inconsistent mostly because of her erratic ball toss) then she can get back to top 20 or even top 10. If not,she will be stuck in the mid 30's rankings.
Fernandez is about to cry 😂 I😂😂 I really like her. I mean, she is left handed which is very unique., but she needs better coach from now on to finally get on top
鄭欽文，我是台灣的球迷，我為妳加油！
After the first set, I thought that maybe Leylah had tamed te dragon. She only woke it up.
Lets go Zheng Qinwen!!!
It will be awesome if Qinwen plays Xinyu in the semi-finals.🙏
Agreed. Would of been better if it was the final though. Making their home proud! ❤

Zheng is crazy top form now. Amazing player...The asian conquest...
Asian conquest ??? She is not using her height well ... her height is same as Andre Agassi .
@@Karlmarx-r9d Indeed, she still needs a lot improvements: stability, first serve rate, un forced errors, warm up speed, etc.

Something happened in the second set that probably changed everything in Leylah’s mental strength
Future GS Champ right here

ikr. but she is a thinker and always regained her composure after the first loss.

Te quiero Qinwen. ♡♡♡♡
It was the first time she beat Fernandez with an impressive 6-0 3rd set.
qinwen got used to lose first, then win back.
Time for Fernandez to hire a actual coach instead of her dad. She has completely stagnanted despite having great potential.
That's apparently wrong. It always easy to blame the dad, but without her dad's coaching, she would not even be in top 300. players like her athleticism are everywhere.
@@kaihui1965well that’s done now. She needs to be on the second level. They can’t be learning the tour same time.
Skill-wise, Fernandez is one of the best. Her weakness is power. For this reason, she is just an average professional player. However, her play is nice to watch.
How do you think she compares to Navarro who is similarly quite skillful but not exactly powerful?

Good match zheng👍🏻
Te quiero Leylah. ♡♡♡♡
Kinda knew the match is in the bag when Qinwen gave that nonchalant reaction at 2:50
Frumos comentariu felicitări
It's giving "mmmkay...enjoy. that's the last point you're getting off of me."
So nice watching a match without the incessant screaming 😀
We are all happy for you!
Where is the match of Linette vs Kasatkina? It was so good, I would like to see highlights of it
❤!
It's 2024 and the best resolution they can upload at is 720p
Leylah tried but in the end the wheels fell off. Queen Wen is in the zone ❤
Didn't WTA just have a Beijing open? There's two opens going on in China?
Qeen is getting better everyday.

This was a battle for the ages. Leylah fought until the end but she ran out of gas in the third.
6:0 wow
恭喜qinwen 跨越了一座小山
Another frosty WTA hand shake
Another boring comment
Fernández and her coach were so annoying and ignorant
Finally a commentator who pronounced Qinwen’s name correctly. Chin-wen not Kin-wen. Some Chinese words are hard for native English speakers to say but not Qinwen’s name, so about time!
actually its not chin wen either, its qin, it know its hard but still
Just Queen. Would be better in either way
@@songmingyuan7660the closest sound in English is Chin... I don't think English has the "q" sound of Mandarin!

Zeng, you should revenage saba. yellingmonster next match

Watch the whole match Leyla put up a good fight until set 3 not many have taken a set off madam Zheng.
Haven't watched leylah since USO and her tan is like out of control lol
My favourite > > > Queen Wen
can fernandez's face be more rbf?
Leylah is a good girl,.. muy bonita as well,.. just keep going,... if Zheng can beat Saba later on, that proofs,... otherwise,... !!!,...
Leylah keeps playing single and double and always same day 😢
Fernandez goog for 1 round only
Turner Expressway
It is time for Fernandez father to hire a strength coach and a physio. She has no endurance, stamina or conditioning.
And she keeps playing double also and same day. She needs to focus. Its tiring to watch 😢
Oh dear...what's happening to the Canadian tennis players...first dennis and now leylah
1st. was Bouchard, then Andreescu !!
I feel bad for Leyla.
Zheng has a habit of giving people bagels.
When was the last time (she's not 1GA) ??

leylah is the wta mannarino
Leylah your game is the definition of insanity... Fire your entire team
a team of potty mouth
A BAGEL???? Really Leylah... She literally crashes and burns each time. Congrats Queenwen
that's what big Z do lol
I keep hoping that Chinese players make saying "cho lay" fashionable after winning a point in tennis! BTW, how do you say "bagel" in Chinese?!
bagel = chicken eggs in mandarin. lol
Bagel in Chinese is COVID !!

@@robertmartin7594COVID is eating your brain dude. Seek help.
I've watched a lot of Fernandez's games. She is good, but not great. She makes too many mistakes.
Fernandez is too small and weak for these top players.
Pilipina pog pog pag pag lost
Last match i told fanandez win was luck and her fans barked so loud
Maybe the level of the opponents was not the same?
Not my friend huan

guess her dad doesnt want to spend money
@@barrioboi14344 she's the top seed in Canada and she has quite a few sponsors, I'm sure she has some money herself
And she needs to decide now to focus to single. Its tiring to play single and doubles, same day 😢

Pesa piu la racchetta che la Fernandez. Ma dove vuole andare questa mezza sega.
