Despite securing victory against Victoria Mboko at Roland-Garros, Zheng Qinwen was far from satisfied with her level of play. The Chinese star openly admitted that this was her most challenging match of the tournament, describing it as her worst performance so far.
Mboko, a rising Canadian talent who entered through the qualifiers, proved to be a formidable opponent. She matched Zheng’s intensity and pushed the top-10 player throughout the contest. However, Zheng’s experience allowed her to capitalize on key moments, securing a 6-3, 6-4 win.
Although she moves forward in the tournament, Zheng remains focused on refining her game. She will look to elevate her level in the next rounds as she continues her pursuit of success in Paris. Meanwhile, Mboko exits the event with a sense of accomplishment, likely breaking into the top 100 after a strong showing.
