Sweeping Stephens 2-0 to advance to the 32nd round, Zheng Qinwen vs. Keys match time for the next round has been confirmed.

On March 23 Beijing time, the women's singles second round of the WTA1000 Miami Open began. A focal match ended yesterday, with Chinese golden flower Zheng Qinwen taking on former US Open champion Stephens. Zheng Qinwen was in blazing form, taking two consecutive sets 2-0 to sweep Stephens and forcefully move into the 32nd round. Zheng Qinwen's next-round opponent and time are now confirmed: she will compete against American standout Keys, and the match is set for 4:30 AM on March 23!

Zheng Qinwen is currently the strongest among active Chinese golden flowers, but this season she has been troubled by injuries, playing intermittently, leading to a continuous drop in ranking. Moreover, Zheng Qinwen's form has not yet returned to its peak. Coming to the Sunshine Double, Zheng Qinwen suffered a first-round exit at Indian Wells, then participated back-to-back in the Miami Open. She had a bye in the first round, and her second-round opponent was former US Open champion Stephens, whose current ability is far from past glory and lacks competitiveness. Therefore, Zheng Qinwen faced very little challenge in this match!

After the match started, the two engaged in fierce combat. At 2-3, Zheng Qinwen began to exert force, finding her serving rhythm and unleashing full power, staging a four-game winning streak to take the first set 6-3. In the second set, Zheng Qinwen pressed on with momentum, her serve still effective, frequently delivering ace shots to break through, directly crushing with a dominant 6-2 win. With a total score of 2-0 sweeping the opponent, she successfully advanced to the third round. From this match, due to Stephens' weak capability, Zheng Qinwen encountered little resistance in advancing. Currently, Zheng Qinwen's first serve still has issues, and her form needs to be regained step by step!

According to the latest schedule, Zheng Qinwen's third-round opponent is confirmed: she will meet Grand Slam champion American star Keys. The match time for the two is basically set, scheduled to start at 4:30 AM on the 23rd. This is a real test for Zheng Qinwen; the opponent is strong and difficult to handle. We hope Zheng Qinwen can prepare seriously, study strategies to overcome the opponent. Let's meet then, go go go!
