The world`s No. 8 tennis player is familiar with magazine covers, having graced publications like Harper`s Bazaar, GQ, and Vogue China. Recently, she expanded her portfolio with stunning visuals in the latest issue of W Magazine in China, but this time, her role extended beyond posing for the camera.
Zheng took on the `incredible experience` of being the guest editor for the `Energy Issue`.
In this issue, she shares personal recipes, music preferences, and lifestyle choices, offering readers an inspiring `journey of growth.` W Magazine highlights her dedication both on and off the court, where she continuously explores her `limitless possibilities.`
Zheng encourages readers to `accept reality and keep pushing forward until you achieve your next victory,` motivating them to always strive for more.

One image features her against a red backdrop in black Dior attire, including a striking red and white leather jacket with flame details. Another showcases her seamless transition between athletic and elegant looks in front of a white wall, wearing Dior tanks with a beaded overskirt and a flowing one-shoulder gown with a red crown and bold red lipstick, referencing her `Queenwen` nickname.
Following successful runs in Indian Wells and Miami, and another quarterfinal in Charleston, Zheng embraced the opportunity to demonstrate her versatility beyond tennis.
