I’ve got nothing against Iga, but I’m glad her fans have had to watch her lose. Most of them have repeatedly disrespected other players and gone on about how Zheng, Schmiedlova and Vekic pose no competition to win the gold medal.

She is the best player in the world, but her fans act like she’s unbeatable. Honestly, the way she played today, any of the other three semi-finalists could have beaten her.

Zheng was excellent - totally outplayed her and deserved to win.

No handshake wow mentality is really done

Sorry for Iga but really happy for Qinwen’s accomplishment. Hope she gets to bring that Gold home and sing in the ceremony!

Swiatek lost mentally that match. She lost the second set after leading 4:0 because she was rushing. In the final stages she played like A.Sabalenka when she loses her composure: lack of focus, lots of force and many unforced errors. This is what Iga played at the end. Her previous match was a warning she wasn't mentally as strong as during other tournaments. Someone in her team should have done better job before this SF. The way Zhang played proves that patience pays off. Congrats to the winner.

I thought Iga would win.
Not easy to beat Iga.
But Zheng played beautifully.
A fabulous game.

[smallk]

Excessive energy used yelling with each swing whereas Zheng was calm and focused.
Congratulations to Zheng.

congrats to zheng for disposing this iga, it's the olympic, amazing.

[alamin-frrc]

Those subtle psychological control games, holding up the racket whilst people settle down, the extra long ‘bathroom’ breaks to change the momentum didn’t quite work out today. That’s not to take away anything from Iga’s skill. She is a fabulous player but Zheng today, Wow.

[adamsawicki]

Iga needs more variety in her game. I mean she NEVER hits slices or drop shots just hitting from the baseline nonstop. Its so boring.

[postive-vibes]

I'm an Iga fan, but that's the definition of not getting it done.

[graceliang]

Many players lost game often, so did Iga, because of her, i knew Chinese tennis player zheng xin wen now.😄

[valeriejohnson]

Happy that Qinwen won this match. Iga will not win everything!

[markopecinovic]

Congrats to Qinwen, her family, and the people of China.

She was a Gladiator.
