The tennis singles (单打) finished at the Paris Olympics on Aug. 3rd, 2024. “Nothing can describe my feeling right now, it’s unreal. I’ve always been hoping to get a medal (奖牌) for China. Finally, I made it. I am also surprised at this gold medal,” Zheng said after her win. From 2020 to 2024 Zheng’s world ranking (排名) jumped from over 600 to 7.

“I love my fans for giving me this title, honestly, because it fits my character well. You need to show yourself as queen the court (球场), because you need this energy, this power to show that you are the best,” Zheng told China Daily.
Playing for China at the Olympics gave Zheng power. She made her way to success after surviving (挺过) tiring matches that went on for three hours.
“What I can be sure of is that I’m going to fight until the last moment, because I’m not only playing for myself. I’m playing for my country,” Zheng told China Daily.
This great success is just the start of a new journey for Zheng. A few days after her Olympic victory, she took part in the Cincinnati Open but lost to Russian player Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in a third-round match.
