Foreign Media Reveals Zheng Qinwen: Residing in Andorra Year-Round, Annual Income Reaches 220 Million, and is an International Darling Yesterday, the famous foreign media "Marca" reported on our country's tennis player Zheng Qinwen, not only analyzing her net worth but also reporting that her off-court income reached as high as $30 million, which converts to 220 million RMB. The report also mentioned Zheng Qinwen's place of residence, which she chose as Andorra on social media platforms. It is possible that "Marca" based its judgment on this information regarding Zheng Qinwen's place of residence. However, most Chinese people choose their place of residence on social media according to their mood and preferences; some even select places like Iceland or Switzerland. In addition, many media outlets have reported on Zheng Qinwen and given her high praise, believing that her future is limitless and that she is someone capable of achieving great things. Zheng Qinwen has also proven her excellence with her strength, winning multiple championships on the court, not only winning honor for the country but also earning a substantial amount of prize money, returning the funds she invested in tennis over the years within just one year. Within a Year, She Breaks Even Cultivating a tennis player is no easy feat, requiring not only a huge financial investment but also years of persistent training. However, Zheng Qinwen managed to break even in 2024 with just a few competitions' prize money, let alone the now overwhelming endorsement fees. Zheng Qinwen's performance at the Paris Olympics was so impressive that it made people…

In the second day of the 2025 Australian Open, the tennis world was shaken by news that former world number one and two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka lost 0-2 to Italian player Bronzetti, ending her run in the tournament. This unexpected defeat not only casts a shadow over Azarenka's future but also prompts reflection on the trajectory of her career. Azarenka's career has been nothing short of remarkable. She reached the pinnacle of the Australian Open in both 2012 and 2013, earning her a place as a symbol in women's tennis. However, time takes its toll on all athletes, and at 35, the decline in Azarenka's technical skills and physical endurance is evident. Her performance against Bronzetti in this match served as a mirror reflecting her struggles and frustrations on court. In the first set, Azarenka quickly found herself at a disadvantage against her younger opponent. Although she showed some improvement in the second set, even leading 4-2 at one point, she ultimately failed to capitalize on her opportunities and was reversed by her opponent. This outcome forced her to confront the harsh reality that her career is no longer at its peak. Despite the disappointment of the loss, Azarenka's continued efforts are still commendable, and many tennis enthusiasts hope she will continue to enjoy the game for the love of it, rather than solely chasing championships. Meanwhile, in another match, German player Siegmund faced off against Australia's Barty in a test of endurance and technique. Siegmund managed to turn the tables with a 2-1 victory, advancing to the…

On January 15th, Beijing time, the first round of the 2025 Australian Open women's singles main draw featured a focal match between Zheng Qinwen and Siegemund. In the end, Zheng Qinwen lost two consecutive sets 0-2 to Siegemund, causing a major upset and being eliminated in the second round! She is also the first top 5 seeded player to be eliminated from the women's singles, which is quite chaotic. In the first round, Zheng Qinwen won straight sets, although the first set was won with some difficulty, the second set was still easily taken, showing some slow start but not affecting the result of the match! As the runner-up of the previous year and the No. 5 seed this year, how far can Zheng Qinwen go this time? Siegemund is a German player who fought hard for three sets to reverse and advance in the first round. Currently, her world ranking is only 97th, which is quite a gap compared to Zheng Qinwen's No. 5 ranking! The two were originally scheduled to face each other before, but due to Zheng Qinwen's withdrawal from the United Cup, this Australian Open match is actually their first career encounter. For Zheng Qinwen, her strength is obviously much stronger, and there should be no problem with advancing. In the first set, Zheng Qinwen's first serve success rate was not high, relying on her second serve to struggle to hold serve. In the second game, Siegemund also struggled to hold serve! In the third game, Zheng Qinwen saved a break point and held serve again.…

In the men's singles, there was an upset as the qualifier defeated the 9th seed 3-0. Russian star Rublev lost 6-7(1)/3-6/6-7(5) to Brazilian player Fonseca, which was unexpected and considered the biggest upset since the start of this year's Australian Open.

Many fans mentioned that Rublev's performance was poor and he did not live up to the level expected of a top ten seed. However, Fonseca's excellent performance must be acknowledged. The 18-year-old Brazilian made a name for himself in this match, and it will be interesting to see if he can continue to progress. Five seeded players were eliminated, including men's 30th seed Pericard losing 2-3 to French player Monfils, 32nd seed Kobil losing 1-3 to Argentine player Echeverri, women's 26th seed Alexandrova losing 0-2 to British player Raducanu, 31st seed Sakkari losing 1-2 to Colombian player Osorio, and 13th seed Kalinskaya withdrawing, with lucky loser Li substituting.

Chinese player Zheng Qinwen successfully reversed her victory, defeating American player Baptiste 2-1.

On January 14th, Beijing time, the last day of the first round of the 2025 Australian Open women's singles saw the top ten seeds, including Polini, Rybakina, Navarro, and Kasatkina, take to the courts. Among them, the organizing committee only scheduled Navarro to play at Rod Laver Arena, also known as the center court, while Polini and Rybakina competed at Margaret Court Arena, and Kasatkina played at John Cain Arena. According to the schedule, the ninth seed Kasatkina took the court first, easily sweeping Tomova with a score of 6-1, 6-3 to secure her opening victory. Later, the eighth seed Navarro faced Sterns. Navarro is a familiar American player to domestic fans. She once said that Zheng Qinwen plays too cruelly and can't make friends in the locker room. Zheng Qinwen's attitude is that she really doesn't want to make friends in the locker room. The two met in the women's singles round of 16 at last year's Paris Olympics, where Zheng Qinwen made a comeback against Navarro with a 2-1 victory, advancing to the quarterfinals and eventually winning the championship. After the Olympic defeat, Navarro also advanced to the US Open semifinals, but her performance has been increasingly poor since then, falling from a lead of over 500 points to a deficit of over 500 points, watching Zheng Qinwen board the last train to the year-end finals. Now participating in the new season's Australian Open, Navarro encountered trouble in her first-round match. In the first set, Navarro was broken by Sterns in the fifth game, but immediately broke back…
