Q. Zheng

Player Overview

Q. Zheng possesses a career win percentage of 68.6%, showcasing her capability across various surfaces. Currently, her performance over the last two years stands at 60% with 27 wins from 45 matches. Zheng's Elo rating of 2333 suggests she is a competitive force, though her effectiveness on grass surfaces remains a concern, highlighted by her 1495 rating in that category.

Recent results have been mixed for Zheng, with a win against Maria Sakkari at WTA Nottingham followed by two consecutive losses.
