Australia Open: Laura Siegemund surprisingly defeats favorite Zheng

The Chinese Qinwen Zheng was one of the big favorites at the Australian Open. The German Laura Siegemund, however, is fitter, more enthusiastic and has stronger nerves – and completely surprisingly wins 7:6, 6:3.

Anyone who is a little familiar with the peculiarities of the wondrous sport of tennis knew at that moment at the beginning of the second set that Laura Siegemund would not win this game. Or – thought you knew. Yes, she led 7:6, 2:1 against the heavy favorite Qinwen Zheng – but that couldn’t be anything after what had just happened in the second largest arena on the facility in Melbourne: Siegemund had the ball to make it 3-0 ; Zheng once again thundered a backhand down the line – she had missed many wildly before, and now it looked like that would happen again.
