Paris 2024: Zheng Qinwen scripts history by becoming first Chinese player to win Olympic tennis singles gold

Hindustan Times  

Zheng Qinwen became the first Chinese player to win Olympic tennis singles gold when she defeated Croatia's Donna Vekic on Saturday, hailing her victory as a "proud" moment for herself and her country. Zheng's victory came on the same Court Philippe Chatrier at Roland Garros where in 2011 celebrated compatriot Li Na became China's first Grand Slam champion in a landmark moment for the sport. Vekic and Zheng went head-to-head with some brutal hitting but the Chinese star's 12 winners to the Croat's three proved crucial and her accuracy shone again with a set-clinching break in the eighth game. Zheng had saved a match point in her gruelling third-round win over Emma Navarro and then ended four-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek's 25-match winning run at Roland Garros to reach the gold medal match.
