Qinwen Zheng was born in China, trains in Barcelona and visited shotmaker’s paradise today.
Zheng dazzled Doha fans with this inspired improvisational tweener magic in the second set of her three-set Qatar Open loss to fifth-seeded Maria Sakkari.

This sequence is even more superb given Zheng’s initial surge to run down the drop shot then sprint in the opposite direction to track down a lob and answer with an astounding tweener winner.
As the purple back wall approached, Zheng’s eyes were locked on the ball for a brilliant pass.
The reaction from the fan wearing the hoodie in the front row highlights how mind-blowing this tweener was.
The 24th-ranked Chinese has a well-earned reputation as a baseline power player, but shows the creativity that would make her tennis idol, Roger Federer, proud.
