Chinese tennis player Zheng Qinwen wished she was a man as severe stomach
cramps ruined her hopes of completing a shock French Open win against world
number one Iga Swiatek on Monday.

After the
game, referring to her menstrual pain, Zheng said, "It's just girl
things."

 She
added, "The first day is always so tough, and then I have to do sports,
and I always have so much pain on the first day. I
couldn't go against my nature. I wish I could be a man so that I don't
have to suffer from this. It's tough."

Notably, Zheng took a medical break of 3-0 and also had
her back massaged in court. After the break, she returned to the court with her
thigh strapped.

Qinwen
said, "I wish I can be a man at the court but cannot at that moment…I wish I can be a
man so that I don’t need to suffer from this. "

It may be
mentioned that Zheng’s leg also got injured during the match. Moreover, talking
about her leg injury, she said, "but that compared to the stomach was
easy." I could not play tennis because my stomach was too painful. "
