‘Tone Deaf’ Chinese Tennis Icon’s ‘Cringe’ Act Backfires as Fans Brutally Obliterate the 21-Year-Old Moments After Her Zhengzhou Glory

A WTA 125K event recently wrapped up in Zhengzhou. The tournament was won by the local favorite, Qinwen Zheng. She won the final against Barbara Krejčíková in three sets after coming back from a set down. The comeback gave Zheng a humongous dopamine boost. During her celebration speech, Zheng was asked to do a peculiar activity: she had to sing! Unlike her enthralling match, her performance in front of the mic did not impress many fans as they tore her apart when the video went viral.

Tennis players are known to take part in various activities throughout the year. Singing is a hobby of many players, and they engage in it quite frequently. While some players have a great voice, Zheng’s singing did not sit well with many fans.

Qinwen Zheng ridiculed by fans for her singing talent 

Elated after beating Krejčíková in a thrilling comeback, Zheng decided to sing a Mandarin song. However, her performance was less than impressive as she missed many notes. The video of her attempt at singing was shared by the official WTA ‘X’ page with the caption, “Hitting all the right notes this week 🎶“. Fans did not agree with the caption as they ridiculed her in the post’s comment section. 

One fan stated that Krejčíková was suddenly happy to lose the final because she would have to sing had she won. 

One user shared a clip of Karolina Muchova singing ‘Sunday Morning’ by Maroon 5 in a beautiful cover. They also suggested that she should be asked to sing next.

A fan wondered which song Krejčíková would’ve chosen to sing if she had won.

Thinking of another player who showed immense potential, a fan account of Emma Raducanu wondered if she could be a singer if she moved on from tennis. 

One fan did not dilly-dally and posed a question for the admin of the WTA page. They asked them, ‘R u tone deaf ?😭‘.

Another fan found themselves unimpressed with Zheng and requested that she stick to tennis.

A Chinese fan of Zheng stated that they were cringing listening to her attempt at singing. 

Zheng’s singing faltered as fans did not hold back in sharing their opinions of her singing. This is one of many instances of tennis players singing, as we have seen many sing their own renditions of various songs throughout the years.

Other tennis players who have taken the mic

Over the years, we have seen many tennis players sing, either after a win or during interviews. We saw Frances Tiafoe give a little rendition of ‘Let Me Love You’ by Mario prior to Wimbledon this year. In 2016, the ATP Tour YouTube channel gave us an unexpected surprise and formed the One-handed Backhand Boys band, which consisted of Roger Federer, Grigor Dimitrov, and Tommy Haas. 

Novak Djokovic gave us his rendition of ‘Fight for Your Right to Party’ after winning against Taylor Fritz in the US Open this year. With many examples at our hands, we can conclude that tennis players love to sing their hearts out. However, as witnessed by the criticism poured on Qinwen, it’s safe to assume that tennis fans are a tough audience to showcase singing talents.
