Zheng stuns Andreeva to become first Chinese winner of China Open

Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng made history as the ‌first Chinese player to win the China Open on Sunday, stunning French ‌Open winner Mirra Andreeva 7-5 6-4.

Wild card ​Zheng, who has been on a recovery path after missing nearly six ​months due to an elbow ‌injury on her dominant right arm, looked like her ​old self as she used powerful forehands to control the rallies, and landed swift ​winners angling away from Andreeva.
