Zheng broke Krejcikova's first service game, leveraging this break to win the first set 6-3. In the second set, Zheng took an early lead with two breaks, going up 3-0, but Krejcikova fought back with two breaks to level the score at 3-3. The two players then held serve up to 5-5.

总结半决赛，她说第二盘比赛在3:0领先下被对手连追4局，是由于自己专注力一度下降、懈怠所致，是不应该出现的失误，给了她一记警告。但随后能够及时调整心态、找回状态，直至最后锁定胜利，则是自己的一次进步。 6park.com
“那一刻我没有慌乱，而是告诉自己找回专注、从头开始，就像什么都没发生一样。我很努力控制自己不要惊慌失措，这是一场非常艰难的对决，也展现了我心态的强大。” 6park.com
"It was tricky because at 3-0 I think I dropped my focus... and she played more free," Zheng said. "In that moment, I'm not panicked, I just said to bring back my focus and start at 0-0 like nothing happened." 6park.com
"It was really a hard match for me, but it showed that I was mentally strong in that moment," she added.



赛后郑钦文用中文向球迷致谢，对于自己能够晋级决赛，她表示“Unbelievable”（难以置信、不可思议）。 6park.com
"It feels so special because it's my first WTA Finals. And right now I am just in the final. That's really unbelievable," Zheng said after the match.
