      Yes, and I think Wang Qiang plays a lot like her nowadays. Her smart redirection of Serena's power and fearless shotmaking while on the run are what won her their Australian Open third round match after getting blown out by Serena at the US Open just a few months prior.

    Not many players are able to take the ball so early against Serena as consistently as Zheng always has against Serena. Zheng was reading Serena’s serve so well and taking every return so early. Credit to Serena for upping the level of her serves and finding a way to take back control of the rallies!

      Nothing to do with fear but instead anticipation and timing/hand eye co-ordination. Azarenka, Zheng, Dementieva, Davenport, etc all had great returns. Would react quickly but also get the return deep to the baseline.

    • @codyahurley
      @codyahurley Před 4 lety +13

      @@user-gu1un7pb7k Perhaps fear is the wrong term. Instead let's say it's intimidating. As a former college player and a current college coach, I can tell you that facing an opponent with a huge serve is an intimidation factor that affects your mental game in many ways. It makes you lose confidence because you know that no matter how good of a returner you are, it's going to be incredibly difficult to get the ball back deep in the court, let alone break her serve. It's frustrating, discouraging, and for some, intimidating causing them to completely lose confidence in their return game. However, players like Vika, Zheng, Capriati, Hingis, etc. as you mentioned, were great returners, but also had fantastic mental toughness to go with it. They understood that they had to be patient and wait for their opportunities - which is way easier said than done. That's why they had success compared to players like Sharapova, who severely struggled against Serena in their careers because of the lack of return game and self-belief. I agree with what you are saying, but I also believe there is a mental factor. Does that make sense?

  • @LuLu-nw6bi

    I loved their match-ups. Serena's killer serves and attacks from the baselines, Zheng's returning and counterpunching with her great reflexes and quick feet, also getting to the net every now and then. Williams destroying weaker second serves is also entertaining, I must say. A joy to watch, thanks for posting!

    Loved Serena's journey in the Wimbledon of 2012. Started the tournament a kind of anecdotal favourite (as she always is) and then gradually improved with every round despite some inspired opponents and honed that serve to dominant perfection until she arrived at the semi finals the bonafide favourite for the title. Radwanska did extraordinarily well to give her a match at all in the final- even whilst being ill!

    Jie Zheng was the stone in the shoe of many tennis players in those times, but incredible of her even more because it did not allow Serena to win decisively and made her deepest performances come out and thus win this match. However, Jie Zheng lost her sanity with the balls returned by Serena, even when she had the service, Serena managed to break it. The credits are taken by the Chinese, since she managed to destabilize Serena, despite the fact that american will take the full match. IMHO!🎾

      Nothing to do with their height. Both those players absorb pace really well and they’re both good movers. Serena tends to have the most trouble with counter punchers who move well and can redirect pace. Henin was one of her biggest rivals. Halep destroyed her at Wimbledon using the same strategy.

    In 2015 WADA notified athletes that meldonium will be banned in 2016. That was the last year that Zheng Jie played a professional match. I personally don't think it was a coincidence but I don't have any proof one way or the other. Watching Zhengs Jies game transform over the years from what it was to what we see in this video was like watching Sharapova inexplicably go from "cow on ice" to 2 time French open champion. A real headscratcher.
