Aus Open: Zheng, Mirra Win In Opener As Heavy Rain Suspends Play On Outside Courts
Rod Laver Arena: A stormy start to the 2025 Australian Open could not prevent last year's runner-up Zheng Qinwen, as the Chinese fifth seed secured the first win at Rod Laver Arena by battling past Romanian qualifier Anca Todoni 7-6(3) 6-1 on Sunday.
The 22-year-old needed almost two hours to secure victory against Todoni in the pair’s first meeting. Zheng won 83 per cent of first serves, helped by eight aces, which contributed to a winner count of 29, nine more than her opponent.
Reigning Olympic gold medallist Zheng now awaits either Germany's Laura Siegemund or Hailey Baptiste of the United States in the second round.
