Chinese tennis ace and Wimbledon semifinalist Zheng Jie confessed to feeling the weight of public expectation in her return to the All England Club.
The 26-year-old was awarded a wild card to compete in the grass court Grand Slam event last year.
She then stunned the tennis world by eliminating several top players including then world No 1 Ana Ivanovic en route to the semifinals where she was eventually stopped by Serena Williams. She is now enjoying her best season and returns to Wimbledon as the No 16 seed.
