World No.24 Zheng Qinwen defeated Barbora Krejcikova 2-6 6-2 6-4 in the final of the Bank of Communications Zhengzhou Open, making this the first year in Tour history that Chinese players have won four titles.
Even before Zheng’s Zhengzhou Open title, the 2023 season had become the first to have three WTA title winners from China, while now women’s tennis players from the Asian country have won four WTA titles in a single year for the first time ever – Zhu Lin (Hua Hin), Wang Xiyu (Guangzhou), and Zheng Qinwen (Palermo, Zhengzhou).
