China’s Zheng Qinwen has spoken about her struggle to find a usable pair of shoes for grass-court tennis after again changing footwear at the Queen’s Club Championships in London. Olympic champion Zheng changed her shoes during the sixth game of the deciding set of her semi-final defeat by Amanda Anisimova of the United States on Saturday.

Zheng will play either the third seed Emma Navarro or eighth seed Amanda Anisimova in the semi-finals, before a potential final showdown with Australian Open champion Madison Keys or German qualifier Tatjana Maria, who stunned former Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina earlier in the afternoon.

Amanda Anisimova surprised Zheng Qinwen in the Queen's Club Championships semifinals with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 victory, setting up a clash for her first WTA 500 title this Sunday against Tatjana Maria.

China''s Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen ended her journey at the Queen''s Club Championships as the world No. 5 lost to American Amanda Anisimova 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 in the women''s singles semifinals here.
