Zheng Qinwen’s Match Disrupted by Umbrella Blunders; French Open Organizers’ Service Questioned

In the third round of the French Open women’s singles match held on the evening of May 30th Beijing time, China’s top player and eighth seed Zheng Qinwen dominated dark horse Mboko with a 2-0 victory, advancing strongly to the last 16. However, an awkward incident at the sidelines added an unexpected twist to the match.

Due to the scorching midday sun, it’s customary for French Open staff to hold umbrellas to shade the players during breaks. But during this match, Zheng Qinwen received “special treatment” — staff members repeatedly made umbrella mishaps three times in a row.

The first time, a female staff member moved so slowly that Zheng had to pull the umbrella over herself to block the sun. When the camera approached, the staff member slowly moved the umbrella away, leaving Zheng exposed to the blazing sun.

The second time, a male staff member took over but only held the umbrella in a symbolic manner, forcing Zheng to adjust it herself once again.

The third time, although the staff member managed to cover the sunlight, his arm weakened, causing the umbrella to tilt and almost hit Zheng’s head. Zheng had to hold it up herself to steady it.

This series of mishaps triggered frustration among many fans, who demanded that the French Open organizers improve their courtside service.
