Zheng after beating Todoni in Australian Open R1

Petkovic: “It all started here last year with the final. Then you won the gold medal. You’re a huge star now all over the world. How has it changed for you to play with so much attention now on you?”

Qinwen: “Of course there started to be more and more pressure. But at the same time they’re pushing me to become a better person and better athlete. I think I do good with the pressure. I like to play with the pressure. Like what Billie Jean King says… pressure is a privilege. I love this sentence. Let’s keep going and playing with pressure.”
