A childhood dream

Three years after losing the Tokyo bronze medal match, she and Guo Luoyao beat their compatriots Li Xiaohui and Zhu Zhenzhen 7-6 (4), 6-3 for doubles bronze, China's first Paralympic wheelchair tennis medal. "I've had this dream of being on a Paralympic podium since I was a kid, so this is a very emotional moment for me," she said, calling it "just the start of our journey".

A word from Zheng Jie

Wang worried before the final that her backhand was not working. Zheng Jie, a former Wimbledon doubles champion, calmed her by telling her she was already a champion whatever the result. Afterwards Wang credited Li Xiaohui and her coaches, calling the title "a collective victory".

For the next generation

Her title came six months after she and Li won the Australian Open doubles, China's first major title in wheelchair tennis, and she and Li added the Wimbledon doubles the same week. "Winning Wimbledon will hopefully inspire younger Chinese wheelchair tennis players," she said. Her advice to them: work hard and dreams can come true.
