Australian Open 2025: Zheng looks to emulate Li’s Grand Slam success Down Under

The Hindu  

There seemed a touch of destiny when Zheng Qinwen made the Australian Open final last year a decade after trailblazing compatriot Li Na hoisted the women’s trophy. Zheng ended up crushed by nemesis Aryna Sabalenka in the decider but this year will hope to go one better and join Li as the second Chinese player to win a Grand Slam singles title. The pair first met in person during the last Australian Open when Li snuck up on Zheng during a video interview at Melbourne Park and cheekily slapped her behind. “I feel she’s much more beautiful than when I saw her on TV before.” FAST TRACK Late-blooming Li was 28 when she made her first Grand Slam final at the 2011 Australian Open, overhauled by Kim Clijsters.
