In a dominant display at the 2026 WTA 1000 Rome Open, Chinese tennis star Zheng Qinwen powered past Spain’s Bucsa with a straight-sets victory of 2-0 to secure her spot in the tournament’s third round.
The first set was a nail-biter: Zheng missed an opportunity to serve out the set but fought back from a 1-4 deficit in the tiebreak, saving two set points before clinching it 7-6(6).
Carrying that momentum into the second set, Zheng found her rhythm and dominated with clean hitting, closing out the match at 6-2.
Overall, Zheng recorded 11 aces and displayed impressive composure under pressure, sealing a well-earned place in the Round of 32 at the prestigious Rome clay-court event.
