Credit to Arango’s Defense
“To play against Arango in defense is not easy,” said Zheng after the game. “It’s not easy for me to play with her,” said Zheng. “She could play great defense. When I see a short ball I say, ‘OK, now you got to go to the net to finish the point whatever happens,’ because if we’re staying on the baseline she’s going to put all the balls back, so it’s a very difficult match.”

Net Play Decisive Happy results at the net make the difference
It was Zheng’s insistence on attacking the net that was the difference. She claimed 18 of 21 net points and 31 total winners, underlining her aggressive and productive style. The fact that she was able to adjust and control it in the most crucial of points, eventually winning her the match.
