Zheng suffered a painful fall while attempting to save a breakpoint in the sixth game, leaving her sprawled on the court in visible distress. After receiving medical attention and having her injured fingers bandaged, Zheng continued playing, but Muchova capitalized on the moment, winning the first set 6-3, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the second set, Zheng mounted a determined comeback but struggled with seven double faults that disrupted her service games. Muchova stayed steady, holding off Zheng's efforts to secure a 6-4 win and a place in the final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I am just really tired. No energy. That's it,\" Zheng reflected. \"I know exactly why I fell because I wasn't focused enough. I was too tired. If I had more sleep yesterday, I could have done better.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Tough battle out there today. I was happy that I was able to hold my serve throughout the match,\" Muchova said. \"I will try my best and challenge her [Coco Gauff]. Hopefully, I'll get the best result tomorrow.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier on Saturday, Gauff staged an impressive comeback against Spain's Paula Badosa, overcoming a first-set deficit to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
