Recently, the WTA International Women's Tennis Association's official website shared photos of Zheng Qinwen's new team making their debut in Australia. Compared to before, Zheng Qinwen's physique has undergone a significant change, drawing attention and discussion from fans and media.
Zheng Qinwen has confirmed her participation in the upcoming Australian Open. Originally, she planned to participate in the United Cup. However, due to insufficient preparation, she officially announced her withdrawal from the United Cup. This has caused concerns about her condition. The United Cup and the Brisbane tournament are held around the same time. Players either participate in the United Cup or the Brisbane tournament, hoping to prepare for the Australian Open through these competitions. Zheng Qinwen had registered for the United Cup, so she did not sign up for the Brisbane tournament. Now that she has withdrawn from the United Cup, it means she lacks match adjustments. This is why fans worry about her state. Of course, it is believed that Zheng Qinwen has specific plans to reach her best form before the Australian Open.
The Australian Open is getting closer, and Zheng Qinwen's team has also made a public appearance! Her new coach, Botini, has also officially appeared. Due to Coach Riba's need for surgery, Zheng Qinwen had to make adjustments. Seeing the photos, fans jokingly commented that Zheng Qinwen's physique seems to be tailored to deal with Sabalenka! Indeed, Zheng Qinwen appears much stronger, with more muscles on her arms and a bulkier physique overall. Fans have described her as bulking up like a double-door fridge! Additionally, the beautiful physiotherapist Shadi, fitness trainer Zhou Jiang, and new sparring partner Francisco Rocha all appear in the photos. They all wear smiles, looking in good spirits.
Is Zheng Qinwen's change in physique aimed at dealing with Sabalenka? It's possible! After all, Sabalenka is the defending champion of the Australian Open. To date, Zheng Qinwen has not won a single match against Sabalenka. Having successfully completed the Olympics, Zheng Qinwen will now aim for the Grand Slam title, with the world No. 1 Sabalenka standing in her way. Only by overcoming Sabalenka will Zheng Qinwen have a greater chance of winning the Grand Slam title.
In the Brisbane tournament, Sabalenka has already made an appearance and her form is continuously improving. This is not good news for Zheng Qinwen! Coupled with the fact that she is still in the adaptation phase with her new coach Botini, the situation is not very favorable for Zheng Qinwen! Faced with difficulties, what Zheng Qinwen needs to do is to rise to the challenge! Last season, Zheng Qinwen sounded the charge at the Australian Open. In the new season, we also hope that Zheng Qinwen can create new glories again at the Australian Open! Go for it!
