Regularity, a major objective
And if the duel between the two best players on the planet should greatly occupy the conversations around the WTA circuit, we must not forget other very serious candidates for the most beautiful trophies. From Jasmine Paolini (4th) to Coco Gauff (3rd), via Qinwen Zheng (5th), many of them have created a surprise in 2024. It is time for her to prove that it was not a question of a coincidence.
His smile marked 2024. Will it still light up the next twelve months? Jasmine Paolini will in any case be eagerly awaited by her rivals, especially after her two consecutive Grand Slam finals (at Roland Garros against Iga Swiatek and at Wimbledon against Barbora Krejcikova).
Finalist at the Australian Open in January, gold medalist in Paris during the Olympic Games, Qinwen Zheng has also been able to display all her talent on different surfaces and through different tournaments around the world. His objective now: to maintain this consistency. “After winning the gold medal, the first thing I said to myself was: ‘I want to keep this motivation!’ I really want to improve my mentality for this year, to manage to maintain the same level by winning tournaments instead of slacking off a little and losing “easy matches”. If I can do this, it will mean that I have managed to overcome barriers“. The first will already allow her to gauge herself since she has many points to defend in Melbourne.
