Three minutes a day, knowing about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Monday, February 10, 2025, and welcome to listen to the afternoon news brought to you by "Home of Tennis".

This morning, Beijing time, a heartbreaking news came from the arena of the ATP Challenger tournament. In the final of the Lille Challenger tournament, former Australian Open semi-finalist and France's Puj was injured in an accident while leading 5-3 in the second set, and finally left the court in a wheelchair.

The 31-year-old former French brother ended up on crutches for the award ceremony and said pessimistically, "I don't think the situation is very optimistic. I don't want to make any statements before checking. But it could be the last fight of my career, and I think the Achilles tendon was completely ruptured. After a subsequent examination, Pouy confirmed on social media that the Achilles tendon in his right foot was completely ruptured. This means that he will need a long period of recuperation before he can recover. Even so, it will be difficult for him to compete on the highly competitive tour again, and he will most likely retire.

Pui was ranked No. 10 in the world in March 2018 and reached the semifinals of the Australian Open in 2019. Since 2021, though, he has struggled with injuries and mental issues, staying away from the tour at one point. He returned to action last year, but mostly in Challenger. After some success, he slowly climbed back up to around 100 in the world rankings. Just when he was full of confidence, an accident suddenly struck.

Let's get back to the field. Last night, Beijing time, the WTA 1000 Doha station started. On the first day of the match, the two Chinese players who played failed to win, and both suffered a round trip. Wang missed serve in the deciding set to defeat Russia's Avanie 6-7(3) 6-1 6-7(5). Yuan Yue missed a set point in the second set and eventually lost 1-6 6-7(5) to wildcard French star Garcia, suffering a fifth straight singles defeat.

Russia's Alexandrova, Samsonova, teenager Mila Andreeva, American Anisimova, Parkes, Poland's Fletcher, Spaniard's Buxa, Belgian Mertens, Ukrainian Kostyuk and Canadian star Fernandez all defeated their opponents to advance to the second round.

Doubles: The two Chinese Jinhua pairs who played on the day both won and advanced. Among them, the Straits pair Jiang Xinyu/Wu Fangxian narrowly defeated Buksha/Kato Miyui 7-6(7) 3-6 10-6; Xu Yifan/Yang Zhaoxuan defeated wildcard-holders Mattek/Safarova 6-3 6-2.

WTA 250 Cluj-Napoca: Top seed Russian Potapova defeated Italy's Bronzetti 4-6 6-1 6-2 to win all five matches against the latter, lifting the tournament singles title for the first time in two years and the third WTA singles title of her career.

Men's Field: In the singles final of the ATP 500 in Rotterdam that ended last night, top seed and Spanish star Alcaraz continued their hot form, defeating third seed and Australian hare De Minaur 6-4 3-6 6-2 to win the indoor hard court title for the first time.

Alcaraz became the first player to win the ATP 500 tournament on hard, indoor, clay and grass. At the same time, at the age of 21 years and 9 months, Arca also surpassed the big four of his predecessor "Finardmu" and became the youngest player to collect the championship of all four court types.

ATP 500 Dallas: In the singles final, Canada's Shapovalov defeated Norway's Ruud 7-6(5) 6-3 to win the ATP 500 for the first time in his career and his third overall tournament title. Congratulations Shabo!

Finally, let's guess and recognize. The picture below shows the two players shaking hands and leaving the field after the game. Can you recognize who they are without prompting?

In the last guess, the golfer gave the correct answer. That's right, the person in the picture is the American star Collins.
