Exit brings Down Under feeling

China Daily  

China's Zheng Qinwen walks off the court after losing her Australian Open second-round match against Germany's Laura Siegemund on Wednesday. Halfway into her second-round match against Laura Siegemund at the Australian Open, fans watching TV at home on Wednesday morning soon captured an intriguing tiny detail on the German veteran's attire — a newly-added logo of what appeared as a Chinese brand on the front of her dress that wasn't there just two days ago during her opening-round match. Yet, fame comes at a cost and the reigning Olympic champion learned it the hard way as Zheng suffered a major upset at the hands of Siegemund, who stunned the world No 5 with a 7-6, 6-3 win at the John Cain Arena that put an abrupt end to Zheng's attempt of repeating her final run of last year. I even was discussing with my team if we have to come to play the Australian Open or not," Zheng, who narrowly lost to world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka in last year's final, confessed at the post-match news conference on Wednesday.
