Qinwen Zheng has inked a prestigious three-year endorsement deal with luxury carmaker Audi. As part of the partnership, Zheng will serve as the brand ambassador for Audi’s electric vehicle (EV) lineup targeting young customers.

She made history by becoming the first Asian tennis player, male or female, to win an Olympic gold medal in singles. Her career continues to soar, achieving a career-high WTA ranking of No. 5  in 2024. This remarkable feat makes her only the second Chinese player to break into the top 10, following the legendary Li Na.

2024 was a spectacular season for Li Na. She reached the finals of the Australian Open, where she faced Aryna Sabalenka, and later competed in the WTA Finals, ultimately falling to Coco Gauff. 

At 22 years old, Zheng is already a sought-after athlete for major sponsorships. Alongside her partnership with Audi, she boasts endorsements from global giants like Nike and Alipay, highlighting her marketability both within and beyond the tennis world and her popularity in China.

With a string of impressive achievements and widespread recognition from fans and experts, many believe it’s only a matter of time before Zheng captures her first Grand Slam title.
