Eleven Chinese rising stars to watch at Hangzhou Asian Games
BEIJING - Although some veterans will return to the Asian Games for the second, third or even fourth time, there are youngsters ready to go one step further in their career. Following are 11 Chinese rising stars who will be rocking the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Zheng Qinwen (Tennis)
As one of the hottest rising stars in tennis, Zheng rallied past last year's runner-up Ons Jabeur at the US Open last week to achieve her first win over a top-10 player at a Grand Slam.
Despite losing to world number two Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus in the quarters, Zheng still made a breakthrough in her career by reaching the final eight of a Grand Slam event for the first time.
In July, Zheng won her maiden WTA title at Palermo Open. Known to fans as "Queen Wen", the 20-year-old is now eyeing on the Asian Games.
