Zheng Qinwen used a pretty funny way to describe herself ahead of the Paris Olympics as the 21-year-old Chinese tennis star says she is “a really confused person” who can be really straightforward on certain days but that there are also times when even she doesn’t know what she is feeling or thinking.
