Zheng Qinwen had a hard time escaping the insistent fans at the Australian Open

China’s Zheng Qinwen advanced to the first round of the Australian Open by Anca Todoni in 2 sets, 7-6, 6-1 and will face Germany’s Laura Siegemund in the next round. During the Melbourne tournament, the athlete was caught while running away from a large group of fans who had completely taken over her.

Most likely, he was frightened by the large number of people who insisted on taking pictures and offering them autographs. From the images you can see how a man helps her to get out of the crowd and get to the changing rooms faster.

Zheng Qinwen is not a big fan of getting close to strangers, nor to the female athletes she plays against. She stated that she prefers to have a simple handshake because she doesn’t feel the need for more.

“Well, I give my opponent a handshake because I feel basic respect doesn’t matter if I win or lose, I always give a handshake. “Usually, I don’t hug my opponents because I feel it’s not necessary for me, because I only come here to play a match,” said the Chinese woman, according to Sportskeeda.

“If I wasn’t in pain, the score wouldn’t have gone so much in her favor at the beginning of the second set. I felt a little stuck in my lower back, but it wasn’t serious. I feel good now and will recover. It’s nothing serious, maybe something because of the matches played or the surface”, said Anca Todoni, after the elimination from the Australian Open, according toEurosport.

Two Romanians qualified for the second round at the Australian Open. Gabriela Ruse won the Romanian duel with Irina Begu, 6-4, 6-0, while Jaqueline Cristian passed in three sets against the Croatian Petra Martic, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6.
