Qinwen Zheng n'a pas pu faire tomber la reine du circuit féminin. Ce mardi, la Chinoise s'est inclinée en quarts de finale de Roland-Garros contre Aryna Sabalenka, 7-6(3), 6-3. A Rome, Zheng avait fait chuter la numéro 1 mondiale pour la première fois de sa carrière après six échecs. Cette fois, à Paris, la 7e joueuse mondiale n'a pas pu reproduire la même performance et a logiquement été battue. Elle peut tout de même être satisfaite d'avoir atteint les quarts pour la première fois Porte d'Auteuil.

00:00BNP Paribas, partenaire des plus belles histoires de Roland-Garros, aux côtés des ramasseurs de balles depuis plus de 50 ans.
00:17I wanted to ask you about playing Sabalenka. She's so powerful. Have you ever played a player more powerful than her and also if she grunts really loudly, does that in any way get into your head, you know, is that part of the...
00:41Not really. I think I'm just getting tied because it's the French Open of quarterfinals. I think it doesn't matter who I face today, I will be really tied because, you know, I have so much hungry in French Open and then I think this can't make me performance even not the best tennis, maybe not, I would say, today I don't even performance the 60-70 percent.
01:05I mean, when I hit with my sparring, you know, they are men, so for sure they will hit harder than her, so for me it's not a problem.
01:13I just wish that I could do better on court and that's it.
01:18Sorry about today. Do you feel the gap is closing though? You obviously won a few weeks ago and today was incredibly close, especially the first set, and you feel like you're not playing at your best, so does that kind of give you encouragement?
01:30Well, you know, even the player not playing their best, they need to find a way to win, but maybe today I didn't find that way even when I'm not performing well, so I would just say this is good learning experience for me, and then wish next time I could do it better.
01:48Did you sense that you were trying to do different things in order to get the advantage in this match, or did you mainly just stick with the original game plan?
02:05I think my game plan went quite well, but it's just, you know, I get tight and then I give so many easy mistakes after when I'm leading in the first set, I mean, that's it, because I think my game plan is working quite well, it's just I'm not able today to stick on, to do it, my game plan from the beginning until the end, because I just think sometimes I give her so many easy unforceries, yeah.
02:32Hi, so in this tournament, there has been some argument regarding scheduling of the matches, and, you know, normally females match are scheduled in the beginning of the Chateaurier, and, you know, it's been tough to get packed in the, you know, it starts 11, but today, the atmosphere was amazing, so how, I don't know if you care about
03:02that kind of things, that kind of things, but do you have any opinion on that?
03:07I mean, I can't control what the tournament put men's first, or girls' first, what I can do is when I play at 11, I just go on the court, and that's it, I mean, yeah, there's nothing more I can do, sorry.
03:22Interesting. How do you feel about today's atmosphere?
03:25I always loved to play in Roland Garros, doesn't matter, yeah.
03:32A bit more even though, I'm Interesting.
03:33It wasn't meant to be I just want to put other things into the world.
03:34So you know, I think this was the name of Robin's volunteer.
03:35You know, that kind of thing I've seen on that part.
03:37Yeah.
03:37I mean, the question I mean in Rach you, actually, I think this was a maybe
