Maintaining her relentless form in the second set, Zheng continued to apply pressure, breaking Cornet's serve in the third game to establish an early lead. She further broke serve twice more in the fifth and seventh games, ultimately triumphing with a 6-1 set score, securing her passage to the next round.

At this year's French Open, two Chinese talents, Zheng and Yuan Yue, are competing as Wilson-sponsored athletes at Roland Garros. While Zheng displayed her dominance with a convincing victory, Yuan, making her main draw debut, faced a tough challenge and was defeated 1-6, 3-6 by the clay court specialist Mayar Sherif, unable to progress further in the tournament.
