Zheng Qinwen out of Australian Open after defeat to Laura Siegemund

New York Times  

Zheng Qinwen is out of the Australian Open after a shock defeat to Germany’s Laura Siegemund. Siegemund’s variety and disruptive baseline rhythm drew a scratchy performance from Zheng throughout the first set, but the 22-year-old, who won Olympic singles gold in Paris this summer, used her serve to good effect in tight moments. It was Siegemund who ended with the superior performance on serve, landing 80 percent of her first serves to Zheng’s 56 percent and winning 69 percent of points behind them against 64. ‘The biggest upset of this year’s Australian Open’ Analysis from tennis writer Charlie Eccleshare Zheng’s exit will leave a big hole at this year’s Australian Open.
