Elbow issues sidelined one of the most dazzling breakthroughs on the circuit. Several months later, the Chinese player is back... and with renewed energy.
Qinwen Zheng
As happened in 2024, Qinwen Zheng has once again secured the Fan Favorite award in 2025. The WTA announced it on social media, emphasizing the magnitude of the Chinese star, with impressive support not only within her own borders but globally. With this triumph, Qinwen repeats the award, as she already claimed this honor last season, surpassing stars like Aryna Sabalenka or Iga Swiatek.

Bad news for Qinwen Zheng, who had set the Asian tour as her comeback point, and things have not turned out as she expected. After playing two matches at the WTA 1000 in Beijing, she was forced to retire in the third set against Noskova. As a result, the Chinese player had no choice but to withdraw from her next event, the WTA 500 in Ningbo. Ultimately, her body has spoken, and at this point, the best decision is to extend the break, an extra rest period that could help her approach the final chapter of the season with the best guarantees.
The Ningbo Open's Instagram profile posted that Qinwen Zheng has also withdrawn from the WTA 500 tournament in Ningbo (October 13-19).

A delicate situation for Qinwen Zheng since she decided to step back from the circuit after Wimbledon. An elbow injury had been tormenting her for months until she had no choice but to undergo surgery. Then came the Asian tour, and with it, the rush. She returned in Beijing, won a match, and retired in the next. Since then, silence. Today, the Chinese player has announced that she will also not make it to the 2026 Australian Open, so we are already looking forward to seeing her in the February tour, even if she has to start from a position almost outside the current top 30.

A very long recovery for the Chinese player, although her hasty return in Beijing did not help.

Although these past few months we haven't been able to enjoy Qinwen Zheng on the court – she had elbow surgery after Wimbledon – the reality is that the Chinese player hasn't been idle. Recognized as the fifth highest-paid athlete in the world, Pere Riba's protege is a goldmine for brands and communication agencies. Her latest appearance was on the cover of VOGUE, showing that apart from talent with a racket, she also has a gift when facing the camera.

The Chinese tennis player talks about her retirement in Beijing after feeling pain again in her right elbow: "I have to consider my professional career, which I hope will be long".
The tennis circuit is entering the final stretch, and the players' bodies are beginning to feel the consequences of such a tight schedule. This was evident today both at the WTA 1000 Beijing and at the ATP Beijing. In total, twelve matches were played between both tournaments, of which five ended in retirement. The day started with Jakub Mensik withdrawing, followed by Lois Boisson; then Camila Osorio, and finally Lorenzo Musetti and Qinwen Zheng. All in all, it was a forgettable day in the Chinese city.
