At Roland Garros, Zheng defeated Donna Vekic of Croatia 6-2, 6-3 to seize the women’s singles gold, which is China’s second Olympic tennis gold, following Li Ting and Sun Tiantian’s crown in the women’s doubles at Athens 2004. “I felt like I represented all of Chinese tennis, and winning the gold made all the hard work and struggles worthwhile,” she noted. I hope this gold medal will help Saint Lucia to grow the sport,” said 23-year-old Alfred. Elsewhere, China’s Chen Meng retained her Olympic title in the table tennis women’s singles after defeating world No. Top-seeded pair Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan won the all-Chinese badminton women’s doubles final over Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning.
