Basic Info
Zheng Qinwen was born in Shiyan City, Hubei Province in 2002. Both of her parents are Chinese, so she is not a mixed-race child. Zheng Qinwen showed amazing athletic talent when she was a child. She always ran to her destination when she went out and did not like to take the car. Therefore, Zheng Qinwen's father Zheng Jianping decided to train her well. In order to inspire her love for sports, Zheng Jianping took her to watch the Beijing Olympics. Since then, Zheng Qinwen has fallen in love with tennis and has been accompanied by tennis every day.
On August 3, 2024, 21-year-old Chinese player Zheng Qinwen made history by creating an amazing victory, beating her Croatian rival to win the Olympic title after defeating the current world No. 1, five-time Grand Slam winner and four-time French Open champion Svartak to reach the final!
A ups and downs heart-wrenching match completely convinced the queen of red earth Svartak, not only that, she also broke down in tears, reportedly cried for six hours on the stage.
After the match, she was interviewed, a face of defiance, Zheng Qinwen is not so powerful, I am familiar with her, she is my defeat. The reason why she fought so hard was all for her country, there was a moment when I was afraid that she ate me, finished, she broke into tears and smiled.
Award ceremony site, Swatek face enviously looking at Zheng Qinwen can imagine how much she longed for this gold medal.
It seems that the Olympic women's singles champion is far less gold than the four Grand Slams, not only is the commercial value not very high, even the points and prize money is zero. Just like Zheng Qinwen this time, she led the team to Paris, all out of their own pockets, recently, Paris has become a popular punching bag, the airfare is also ridiculously expensive, not only that, it is estimated that the hotel is also the highest bidder. So, it's a big expense than for sure.
Like this kind of thankless thing, the average person really can't do to go out of their way. No wonder Swatek didn't quite understand.
Talking about the semi-final with Jung Chin-man, Svartak said:
"Yesterday (semi-final) was probably the toughest loss of my career. I know it's stupid, and I can also tell you that I cried for about six hours after the loss yesterday, you know? It just felt like getting my heart broken."

2024 Olympic Tennis Gold Medalist: Zheng Qinwen

Chin-man's victory had at least a couple of milestones.

Zheng Qinwen became the first person to make history, and several major official media outlets spared no effort in praising it, even the mainstream media around the world praised it, and the strongest man was honored.
Without a fight. Li Na has never hit the peak period of the world's first cry, and Zheng Qinwen in the other side of the best red soil successfully hit the opponent cry, do not underestimate this, the other side has a psychological shadow. This also laid the foundation for her future achievements.
Zheng Qinwen's gold medal contributes more to the marketing of Chinese tennis. Many up-and-comers will take her as a benchmark and role model.
Zheng Qinwen's post-match interview, said she herself because she thought of competing for the glory of the country, in the field always hanging breath, in order to continue to break through their own, or else they could not last until the semi-finals. After watching just in time to see her final, I did not expect to make history again.

Only three years ago, Zheng Qinwen was a newcomer ranked 108th in the world, and now he is among the top ten in the world, which is undoubtedly a historic achievement. How was Zheng Qinwen developed? Today we will talk about Zheng Qinwen's "cruel" family.

A. Tiger father with clear goals

Zheng Qinwen from Hubei Shiyan, his father Zheng Jianping is a track and field athlete, saw Zheng Qinwen as a child jumping every day, that his daughter is very talented, and wanted to train her as an athlete. After trying badminton and table tennis, he finally chose tennis for her.
In China, the easiest way to become a top tennis player is to copy Li Na's homework. Whoever Li Na's teacher was, Zheng Jianping sought to teach his daughter. Li Na enlightenment coach Xia Xiyao, the provincial team coach Yu Liqiao, foreign coach Carlos Rodriguez, Zheng Jianping all looking for a whole.
When I found the provincial team Yu Liqiao, Yu Liqiao think Zheng Qinwen is not tall, body fat, not willing to teach. Zheng Qinwen father everywhere looking for people to intercede, and even in a meeting with a family of three to Yu Liqiao kneeled down, to let Zheng Qinwen recognized her as godmother. Yu Liqiao finally agreed.
However, the coach who took great pains to find her gave up in less than two years. Dissatisfied with the traditional training model, Zheng took her daughter to the Beijing Artisan's Wheel Tennis Academy, where she studied under Carlos Rodriguez, who had helped Li Na win the Australian Open women's singles title.
As Zheng Qinwen gradually made her way into the world circuit, her father contacted Spanish coach Pere Riba, however, due to the failure to meet Zheng Jianping's performance requirements, Riba lost the betting agreement and had to leave after teaching for a while. He expressed his dismay on Facebook that Zheng Qinwen did not want to change coaches, but the decision was not in her hands.

Yes, the father is the absolute leader of Zheng Qinwen's team. As a goal-oriented and extremely decisive leader, he frequently changed more suitable coaches for his daughter, doing whatever he could to take down her teachers; he was unsympathetic in order to get Zheng Qinwen's favorite coaches to leave. Zheng Qinwen can only obey, but also less worries - she has to do only one thing, train hard and play well.

Second, money investment, go all out

Tennis training route is divided into two kinds of system and outside the system. Within the system, there is a national guarantee for expenses, so the burden on the family is not too heavy, but you can see the ceiling. Outside the system, you can choose your own coaches and training methods, and participate in more commercial matches, but all the costs need to be taken care of.
Zheng Jianping chose the latter, and even hitched his entire fortune.
Although Zheng Jianping was engaged in the business of foreign trade, building materials and auto parts, and at one time had a good income, when Zheng Qinwen left Hubei and became a professional athlete who relied purely on his family's input, the pressure on his family's finances increased dramatically, and there were rumors that he had to sell his house in his hometown.
Since childhood, her father arranged for Zheng Qinwen from childhood to adulthood is a "high-coordination" version of the coach, training, in the Beijing Artisanal Wheel Club four years, the coaching team will meet every week around her progress specifically, targeted to make a special physical training program. Such "generous treatment", naturally need money to support.
The cost of training for European competitions is at least 3 million dollars a year. The entire coaching team's expenses need to be borne, including airfare, food and lodging. In order to raise money, Zheng Jianping to the Hubei Provincial team for support, brokerage public will also afford some, but most still have to pay out of their own pockets.
This does not include the investment of time and energy, to take care of Zheng Qinwen's food and living at first is the grandmother, and then mom in the resignation of the full take over.
There are many children who received tennis training along the way with Zheng Qinwen, and they either applied to foreign schools with their tennis scores or took the route of training within the system in the middle of the process.
Only Zheng's dad continued to invest. It's hard to imagine why he's so persistent; after all, it's similar to the Red Army's 25,000-mile Long March, where the hardest part wasn't the worn-out shoes, the harsh weather, the trekking and wading through mountains and water, but the hardest part was that no one knew it would be a success after 25,000 kilometers.
Fortunately, in 2019, thanks to Zheng Jianping's efforts, Zheng Qinwen signed to IMG, the world's top sports agency, a company that has signed Gu Ailing and Li Na ......
In 2023, Forbes officially released its annual list of the highest-paid female athletes in the sports world. Chin-Wen Cheng ranked 15th with $7.2 million, including $5 million in endorsements.
Being in the most profitable sports program, with the most profitable brokerage company escort, said Zheng Qinwen's tennis era came too early, but back to the capital is certainly no problem.

Iron will, never say die

Zheng Qinwen is the hardest of all athletes. His coach Riba said frankly, this life has not seen as hard as Zheng Qinwen people, training field is always the earliest, the latest to go, even if exhausted, but also showed a desire to continue training, often dissatisfied with the intensity of training.
Another coach, Yu Liqiao, also said that Zheng Qinwen is not honest. If a group of two people take turns to play 20 balls should be replaced, she will often secretly play 10 more, trying to find ways to practice more.
This extraordinary diligence stems from the strict family education.
Zheng Qinwen's family has no TV and almost no furniture in the living room, which makes it convenient for her to swing and train at home at any time. She never eats snacks and can't drink beverages. It's a 360-day-a-year regimen of chicken breasts and broccoli. This is probably following Crowe's example - in order to keep his body fat percentage at 7%, Crowe would drink a liter of water a day, never touch a Coke, and eat nothing but chicken breasts year-round.
The most effective way to become a top athlete is to emulate it all.
Zheng Jianping is so strict that he is not close. As a child, Zheng Qinwen was sent to a tennis school in Wuhan. Thinking it was just a short training session, she learned at the end of it that her father had gone home and she couldn't leave.
Faced with the sudden separation, she reacted by saying, "It was my parents' decision and I had to accept it."
Although she could only see her parents once a week and was sad every time she said goodbye, Zheng Qinwen never indulged in her emotions and focused on realizing her potential in tennis.
Another example is the incident of Zheng Jianping beating her daughter. During a national tournament, Zheng Qinwen was acting negatively due to the score being behind and lost several balls in a row. When the match was suspended, Zheng Jianping rushed to her in a rage and hit his daughter on the spot.
"If the level is not as good as your opponent, and you use your best effort and still lose, that's heroic; if you play negatively, that's irresponsible to tennis, to the audience, and to yourself."
Zheng Qinwen regained the spirit of the game, alone back in the stands, but his father cried.
Under her father's influence, Zheng Qinwen has since experienced countless mental fluctuations, all of which have demonstrated a big heart and a big woman's temperament.
In 2023, in the face of several consecutive high-level tournaments of poor performance, and "playing baseball", "injury" questioning, Zheng Qinwen withstood the pressure, in the WTA250 Palermo station won the championship, and won the Hangzhou Asian Games gold medal.
At the 2024 Olympics, despite countless voices telling her to abandon the tournament to save the bronze, she insisted on playing against Svartak, stabilizing her mind and making a comeback after falling behind 0:4 in the second set. Previously, she lost to Swarthike six times.
Any match, she always face expressionless, spoiled. It was her father who forged her iron will.

The story of Zheng Qinwen's family is told. Thanks to Zheng's father, it is because of his lifting that we can see that in sports where white people dominate, Chinese girls break through ethnic and physiological limits, climb over mountains with their rackets, and compete with the top players in exciting summit matches.

He really deserved to make money when his investment worked out.
Zheng Qinwen into the final, in a certain sense, equivalent to Liu Xiang of hurdles, Yao Ming of basketball, Zhang Weili of wrestling ...... not only breaks the inherent impression of race, skin color, more valuable is that this is entirely a reflection of a person's heart, is Zheng Qinwen countless swinging days and nights, and every time the field of play to give it their all.
She didn't seem to be here to defeat her opponent, but to defeat herself. When her American opponent Navarro angrily lashed out at her after her defeat, saying that she didn't respect her as a competitor and accusing her of not having much camaraderie in the locker room, Zheng Qinwen responded: If she wasn't happy with my behavior, she could have just come to me and told me I wanted to correct my mistakes and become a better player and a better person. I'm glad she told me about it. I wouldn't consider it an attack because she lost the match.

It's so nice! After all the sailing and returning only 21 years old, the game has just begun for Chin-Wen Cheng!
