Olympic champion Zheng knocked out of Wimbledon
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 1 – Zheng Qinwen, ranked sixth globally, lost to world No. 81 Katerina Siniakova, marking her third straight first-round Wimbledon exit due to difficulty adapting to grass courts.
- Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen, seeded fifth and ranked world No. 5, was defeated by Czech player Katerina Siniakova in the first round of Wimbledon 2025 in London.
- Zheng entered the match with a history of early exits at Wimbledon, having lost in the first round for three consecutive years and never advancing past the third round in her four visits.
- The match on Court Three lasted two hours and 25 minutes in baking heat, with Siniakova winning the first set 7-5, Zheng taking the second 6-4, and Siniakova dominating the final set 6-1 after a 5-0 start.
- At 29, Katerina Siniakova—an accomplished doubles player with three women's doubles titles at Wimbledon—delivered an impeccable service performance by allowing only eight points, never facing a break point, and breaking her opponent’s serve three times.
- This victory was Siniakova’s first against a top-10 singles player since last season and ended Zheng’s bid at Wimbledon once again. In the next round, Siniakova will take on Naomi Osaka, who has won four Grand Slam titles.
