Zheng Qinwen experienced a shocking exit from the Australian Open after being defeated by unseeded Laura Siegemund, marking an unexpectedly early departure for a top seed.
The fifth seed, Zheng, expressed frustration after missing key opportunities, saying, 'I had a lot of chances to break her in the first set... but you know in that moment maybe my concentration wasn't there.'
Siegemund celebrated her victory, stating, 'I knew I just had to play more than my best tennis... so I told myself to swing free.' Her attitude helped her overcome the pressure.
Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka faced challenges but advanced, saying, 'I didn't have it all my own way,' illustrating the competitive nature of her second-round match.
