Shang Juncheng encountered a round of travel at the Australian Open! Surprisingly, the controversy that sparked this also followed!

Facing Spaniard Fokina in the first round of the Australian Open, everyone knows that it is not easy for Shang Juncheng to get a good start to his debut, and he has lost two previous matches with Fokina, so the outside world's expectations for China's second brother are not high, I just hope that he can play normally, just implement his skills and tactics, and leave the rest to God's will!

In particular, seeing Shang Juncheng's spirit after his appearance seemed to be quite sufficient, it also reassured those who were worried about whether the Chinese second brother's health would recover before the game.

Shang Juncheng announced his retirement in the middle of the first set when he faced Kei Nishikori in the semifinals of the Hong Kong 250 Tournament, and then broke out with a fever of 38.5 degrees, which made everyone feel very sorry for Xiao Shang's classmates, hoping that he can recover his health as soon as possible before the start of the Australian Open, after all, this year's Australian Open is still quite stressful for him to match the record of last year's top 32.

Moreover, because there was no further information about Shang Juncheng's body before the start of the Australian Open, it intensified the worry of many people in the outside world about Shang Juncheng, fearing that he would not be able to fight with Fokina. Until now, I saw that everything looked very good with Shang Juncheng, so that some fans and netizens in the live broadcast room bluntly said that even if the battle record is not superior, "As long as the second brother is well, this game and Fokina really have to be torn." ”

Everyone's confidence in Shang Juncheng was also pushed to the highest point with his 3-1 lead at the beginning, and many people in the live broadcast room soared out of the remarks of the second brother of China's revenge.

It's just that no one expected that as Fokina fought back, Shang Juncheng not only did not consolidate his lead, but was tied by the Spaniards, and finally advanced the first set to the tie-break.

People who often watch tennis matches know that the first round of the Grand Slam is not easy to play, even if they don't win the first set smoothly, everyone is still optimistic that Shang Juncheng can gain something in the tie-break. Unfortunately, Fokina still won the first set with his excellent performance in the tie-break.

In the second set of the competition, Shang Juncheng's performance was the most disappointing. Especially when facing such a situation of falling behind 2-5, instead of choosing to give it a go like Fokina did when he fell behind in the first set, he suddenly announced his retirement after calling a medical timeout, which shocked fans and netizens.

Shang Juncheng unexpectedly retired from the game under the condition that he might lose two sets in a row, which naturally made his competitive sportsmanship questioned by the outside world.

Last year, Shang Juncheng faced Alcaraz in the third round, and was directly sent two fritters by the Spaniard in the first two sets. At that time, after seeing that Shang Juncheng's mood was a little wrong, his father Shang Yi's words of encouraging his son to persist in finishing the game were also heard by everyone, but he never thought that Shang Juncheng suddenly announced his retirement when he fell behind 0-2 in the third set, which caused an uproar in public opinion!

Retired from the Australian Open twice in a row, and both in the face of extreme passivity and backwardness, many fans and netizens in the outside world questioned Shang Juncheng's lack of fighting spirit and the fear of losing too ugly if he continued to play, which seems to be understandable.

In fact, in this match against Fokina, Shang Juncheng had a chance to control the game and not let the score be too one-sided, but he did not withstand the pressure when he held the lead in the first set, which can only be said to be his own problem.

In addition, in the first-set tie-break, seeing Shang Juncheng suddenly lose control of his emotions after losing three points in a row, everyone knew that he had collapsed. Then, because of the possible discomfort in the right foot, he withdrew from the game on the grounds of injury, which can be regarded as an early sign.

Regarding Shang Juncheng's retirement, a netizen's words are still quite thought-provoking, the other party bluntly said that any problem in sports competitions may be encountered, and if you want to become the best among excellent players, you must have the ability to solve problems in difficulties, "Many things may indeed be unfavorable to you on the surface, if you grit your teeth and persist, maybe you will usher in another new situation." ”

The reason why this netizen's words are considered by many people to be more suitable for Shang Juncheng is that in addition to the fact that the circumstances and reasons for his retirement at the Australian Open for two consecutive years are exactly the same, it is also related to the Japanese veteran Kei Nishikori.

When the Japanese faced Brazil's Monteiro in the first round of the Australian Open, they were also cornered after losing two sets in a row, but Kei Nishikori finally gritted his teeth with his incomparably tenacious perseverance and hard work to the end, and finally achieved a shocking reversal.

"If Kei Nishikori is like Kosho did against Fukina, then the final victory will definitely have nothing to do with him." When some people say this, they also think that Shang Juncheng should learn from a veteran like Kei Nishikori and learn from his fearless spirit of daring to fight and never giving up until the last moment.

Shang Juncheng's abrupt withdrawal in the first round of the Australian Open has been blamed by many on his tendency to lose control of his emotions and being too willful in the middle of a bitter battle, which is not the first time that this problem has happened to the second brother of China.

Last year, Shang Juncheng emphasized to the outside world that his biggest improvement is to control his emotions and not lose his temper. Now in less than a year, he broke his promise at the Australian Open, which is believed to be another major reason for the controversy caused by the outside world after his retirement.

Shang Juncheng suffered a round of travel in the Australian Open in this way, and after losing the points of the top 32 last year, it also means that the dispute between him and Zhang Zhizhen's first brother in China has pressed the pause button again.(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
