Zheng Qinwen
Zheng Qinwen is the highest-ranked Chinese player in WTA history and the 2024 Olympic singles gold medallist — the first Asian player to achieve that feat. Born in Shiyan, China on 8 October 2002, Zheng announced herself with a run to the 2024 Australian Open final and rose to a career-high of world No. 4. A powerful, athletic baseliner with one of the biggest forehands in the women’s game and five WTA titles to her name, she is among the most exciting talents in the sport and a player capable of challenging for the biggest prizes.

Playing Style & Strengths
Zheng is a powerful, athletic baseliner who combines heavy groundstrokes with excellent movement for her height. At 5ft 10in she generates significant pace from both wings, and her forehand in particular is one of the biggest weapons in the women's game. Her serve is a genuine asset, and she uses her height to create angles and power that shorter opponents struggle to handle.
Her competitive intensity is exceptional. She plays with visible emotion and has shown the ability to raise her level in the biggest moments, as her runs to the Australian Open final and Olympic gold demonstrate. Her game is most effective on hard courts, where her flat ball-striking does the most damage, though she has shown improvement on clay with a French Open quarter-final.
