For some time now, the figure of Qinwen Zheng's father has been known as that paternal figure that took her some time to understand what his role should be within the team. An demanding man, rugged, and with few emotions. The Chinese player, who advanced this Monday to the second round of the US Open 2024, revealed what her father's words were after winning the gold medal in Paris a few weeks ago.
"Obviously, he is proud of me, that's for sure. I know deep down he must be very proud, even though he doesn't show it much. What he told me was that now we had to move on to the next journey, the next step, there are more dreams to fight for. He told me I had to keep working hard, he always taught me this since I was a little girl. He taught me that if you don't work hard now while you're young, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. My father has always been a hard worker, that's what I learned all my life," confessed the world No. 7.
