'I wish I can be a man!', said the 19-year-old Tennis player from China, Zheng Qinwen after her French Open bid ended in a heartbreaking loss against Iga Swiatek.
After winning her first set, the teen player slipped to a shocking 7-6, 6-0, 6-2 loss against her Polish opponent during the fourth round encounter. Early in the 2nd set, World number 74 needed a medical timeout to take care of the injured right leg, however, it was later that she revealed that more than her leg it was her stomach that bothered her.
'It's just girl things, the first day is always tough, I could not play my Tennis due to my stomach', said Qinwen in reference to her menstrual pain. The Chinese player who was playing her first-ever Roland Garros had come into the fourth round on the back of resounding victories against Alize Cornett and Simona Halep.
