Australian Open: Olympic champ Zheng Qinwen starts her bid for another final on a rainy Day 1

Associated Press  

MELBOURNE, Australia — Zheng Qinwen’s tennis resume is quite different from what it was when she showed up at the Australian Open a full year ago. After overcoming some hiccups late in the opening set of her first-round match on a stormy Day 1 at the season’s first major tennis tournament, Zheng came through with a 7-6, 6-1 victory against Anca Todoni, a 20-year-old qualifier from Romania who has won one Grand Slam match in her career. Kei Nishikori, the 2014 U.S. Open runner-up, saved a pair of match points in the third set and came all the way back to beat qualifier Thiago Monteiro 4-6, 6-7, 7-5, 6-2, 6-3, while No. Afterward, Zheng said that being nervous usually makes her focus better, but this time, it didn’t make “me play my best tennis out there.” Maybe that’s because it was her first match of the season.
