About this episode
Wild card Zheng Qinwen capped her China Open run with an ace on match point, downing No 4 seed Mirra Andreeva 7-5, 6-4 on Sunday night to become the first Chinese player to win the title at her home tournament — and claim her maiden WTA 1000 crown.
持外卡出战的郑钦文在赛点上轰出一记 ACE 球，为自己的中网征程画上圆满句号。周日晚间，她以 7 比 5、6 比 4 击败 4 号种子米拉・安德列娃，成为首位在本土赛事夺冠的中国选手，斩获个人首个 WTA1000 级别赛事冠军。
The 24-year-old fought off three set points to take a tight opening set 7-5, reeling off the last 11 points, before breaking late in the second to seal victory in one hour and 43 minutes and send the National Tennis Center into a frenzy.
这位 24 岁选手挽救三个盘点，以 7 比 5 拿下胶着的首盘，连拿最后 11 分；随后在第二盘末段完成破发，耗时 1 小时 43 分锁定胜局，国家网球中心全场沸腾。
"I always feel very proud to play in front of my home crowd. I always want to show them my best level, because I know how much they support me," Zheng said. "I don't want to let them down, and at the same time I don't want to let myself down. In a way, it's pressure, but at the same time it gives me motivation.
“在家乡观众面前比赛，我始终倍感自豪。我总想向他们展现自己最好的水平，因为我深知他们给予我的巨大支持，” 郑钦文说，“我不想让他们失望，也不想辜负自己。某种意义上这是压力，但同时也带给我动力。”
"The feeling was incredible to win here in Beijing, in front of my home crowd. It has been one of my dreams," she said.
“在北京、在家乡球迷面前夺冠，这种感觉难以言喻。这曾是我的梦想之一。” 她说。
Andreeva, this year's French Open champion, was gracious in defeat. "For sure, today she played great. We all know that she's had a tough year," said the 19-year-old. "I think that she's going to be raising her level even more soon."
今年法网冠军安德列娃虽败犹荣。这位 19 岁选手表示：“毫无疑问，今天她打得非常出色。我们都知道，她经历了艰难的一年。我相信她很快会把竞技水平提升到新高度。”
The title caps a remarkable turnaround for Zheng, who won China's first Olympic tennis singles gold medal in Paris in 2024 — a standout year in which she reached world No 5 by year-end — before an elbow injury slammed the brakes on her rise the next year.
这个冠军为郑钦文精彩的逆转之路画上句号。2024 年她在巴黎拿下中国首枚奥运网球单打金牌，年末世界排名升至第 5 位，迎来高光赛季；然而次年肘部受伤，中断了她的上升势头。
Plagued by injuries, she tumbled to No 160 by June and had not strung together more than two straight wins at any tournament before arriving in New York, where she battled through qualifying and achieved seven wins in a row to storm into the US Open quarterfinals, falling to eventual champion Elena Rybakina on Sept 9.
受困于伤病，她的世界排名在 6 月跌至 160 位。在前往纽约之前，她在任何赛事都没能取得两场以上连胜。美网赛场，她从资格赛突围，豪取七连胜闯入八强，9 月 9 日负于最终冠军埃莱娜・莱巴金娜。
That run featured two stunning comebacks: a 1-6, 7-6 (3), 7-5 upset of 2025 Australian Open champion Madison Keys after trailing 0-5 in the third set, and a 7-5, 6-3 round-of-16 stunner over six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek after bouncing back from 0-5 in the first set.
这段征程包含两场震撼的逆转好戏：对阵 2025 年澳网冠军麦迪逊・凯斯时，她第三盘 0 比 5 落后，最终以 1-6、7-6 (3)、7-5 爆冷取胜；16 强战面对六届大满贯得主伊加・斯瓦泰克，首盘 0 比 5 落后完成翻盘，7-5、6-3 拿下比赛。
Her US Open resurgence raised home fans' expectations over her performance in China — and her historic win in Beijing delivered on that promise, marking a highlight of a booming Chinese season that includes the Shanghai Masters and the Wuhan Open.
她在美网的强势复苏，拉高了国内球迷对她中国赛季表现的期待。而她在北京这场历史性夺冠不负众望，成为包含上海大师赛、武汉公开赛在内的火热中国赛季的一大亮点。
Zheng's comeback has also drawn widespread attention, and it drove China Open ticket sales to a record high.
郑钦文的回归受到广泛关注，也带动中网门票销量创下历史新高。
Total attendance at the National Tennis Center is projected to exceed 450,000, up 25 percent year-on-year, said Chen Jie, executive deputy director and secretary-general of the China Open Organizing Committee, at a news conference on Sunday. Of those, 60 percent came from outside Beijing and nearly 10,000 from overseas.
中网组委会常务副主任兼秘书长陈杰周日在新闻发布会上表示，国家网球中心总观赛人次预计突破 45 万，同比增长 25%。其中六成观众来自北京以外地区，近一万名观众来自海外。
Single-day attendance surpassed 35,000 for six consecutive days, topping 40,000 on both Oct 1 and 2. Overall ticket revenue reached 132 million yuan ($19.7 million), up 48 percent year-on-year and a record high, while tournament-related consumer spending is expected to exceed 55 million yuan, an increase of 55 percent, Chen added.
陈杰补充，单日观赛人数连续六天超过 3.5 万人次，10 月 1 日、2 日均突破 4 万人次。门票总收入达 1.32 亿元（折合 1970 万美元），同比增长 48%，创历史新高；赛事带动相关消费预计超 5500 万元，增幅 55%。
