Zheng Qinwen, an accomplished athlete celebrated as an Olympic champion and Grand Slam finalist, adds another impressive title to her name: guest editor.
The world`s eighth-ranked tennis player is familiar with the world of high fashion, having graced the covers of renowned magazines such as Harper`s Bazaar, GQ, and Vogue China. Recently, she expanded her fashion presence by contributing to the latest edition of W Magazine China. However, this time her role extended beyond posing in front of the camera.
Zheng embraced the `incredible experience` of being the guest editor for the magazine`s `Energy Issue`.
In this special edition, Zheng shares personal insights, including her favorite recipes, musical tastes, and lifestyle choices, offering readers a glimpse into her life. She also presents her `journey of growth,` aiming to motivate and inspire her audience. As the magazine highlights, Zheng demonstrates unwavering dedication both on the tennis court and in exploring her vast potential off the court.
Zheng encourages readers to `accept reality and keep pushing forward until you achieve your next victory,` urging them to consistently strive for greater accomplishments.
The magazine feature includes stunning photographs by Sean+Seng, showcasing Zheng in a variety of stylish outfits.
One image captures her against a vibrant red backdrop, dressed in elegant black Dior attire, complete with a striking red and white leather jacket adorned with flame details. Another set of photos displays her seamless transition between sporty and sophisticated looks against a clean white background. In these shots, she is seen wearing Dior tank tops paired with a beaded overskirt, and also a flowing, one-shoulder gown with bold red lipstick and a red crown – a playful nod to her popular `Queenwen` nickname.
Following her successful run in the Sunshine Double tournaments, reaching the quarterfinals in both Indian Wells and Miami, and another quarterfinal appearance at the start of her clay season in Charleston, Zheng was delighted to demonstrate her versatility and adaptability beyond the tennis arena.
Zheng expressed her gratitude to Mix Wei, the editor-in-chief, on Instagram, stating `Thank you Mix Wei for this opportunity… challenge accepted.`
