Qinwen Zheng continues to struggle with injuries and herself to get back into the Top-10. Currently ranked 36th, she has started her journey at the 2026 Mutua Madrid Open on a good note, coming back in her debut match against Sofia Kenin by 1-6, 6-3, 6-3. And before facing Elena Rybakina, the Chinese player surprised everyone in an interview where she spoke in Spanish and used one of the language's most typical expressions: "Hostia, muy difícil". It's worth noting that her coach is the Spaniard Pere Riba.
