Simona Halep didn’t really feel confident in the past few days, but we couldn’t see her being upset in the Australian Open first round by a qualifier. It was world no. 133 Shuai Zheng to shock Simona 6-4 6-3 in just 78 minutes.
After the math Zhang was rather speechless to comment “Thank you to everyone for supporting me,” a speechless Zhang said in her on-court interview. I think today is the best moment.”
Zhang will now play the Hobart International champion Alize Cornet, let’s see if she can pull another upset. Head to hed is 3-1 for the French.
