Qinwen Zheng Counters Iga Swiatek’s Criticism of WTA Calendar

Asked about Swiatek’s claim the schedule is “pretty crazy,” Zheng disagreed. “I don’t think for professional players the calendar is too much… the strongest players survive,” she said. Returning from surgery, she admitted playing in Beijing was a “rush decision,” but added it showed her fitness. For Zheng, heavy demands are simply “part of the games.”
