Zheng Qinwen created history at the China Open in Beijing, becoming the first Chinese woman to lift the prestigious title after defeating fourth seed Mirra Andreeva 7-5, 6-4 in Sunday’s final. Entering the tournament as a wildcard ranked No. 54 in the world, the reigning Olympic champion showed tremendous composure under pressure, saving three set points in the opening set before sealing the victory. Overcome with emotion after converting match point, the 24-year-old dropped to the court as the home crowd erupted in celebration. However, the celebrations did not end with the trophy presentation, as Zheng had a special surprise for her cheering supporters.
Following her victory speech, Zheng turned the occasion into a memorable celebration by singing karaoke in front of the enthusiastic Beijing crowd. Interestingly, this was not the first time the Chinese star had marked a major triumph with a musical performance. She had done something similar in 2023 after winning the Zhengzhou Open, treating fans to karaoke as she celebrated the title. Her latest performance brought back memories of that moment, offering supporters another glimpse of her lively personality away from the court and making her historic China Open triumph even more special.
