Will Zhang Shuai's first championship of the new season be born in Austin? Can Yuan Yue make up for the failure to defend her singles title early with a doubles title? After 68 minutes, the answer finally came!
It is said that the period after the start of the new season is a disaster day for Chinese singles players, and there is some truth in this statement. After the huge 11-member singles team of the Australian Open broke through the second round, in the three tournaments in Dubai, Austin and Acapulco that started last week with the participation of Chinese players, Zhang Zhizhen, Yuan Yue, Wei Sijia and Buyun Chaokert fell in the first round collectively, causing public outcry.
In particular, Yuan Yue held the lottery in his hand, as Austin's defending champion, he was considered to be the most likely to win glory for Chinese tennis singles, but he unexpectedly suffered a round tour, which made everyone feel extremely sorry for Xiao Yueyue's loss.
Therefore, when all the singles players disappeared from the court, the women's doubles became the last hope for Chinese tennis to save face. Many people even played the guessing game directly, guessing which of the three of Yuan Yue, Zhang Shuai and Tang Qianhui could raise the banner of Chinese tennis to the end? instantly sent this topic to the hot search of public opinion.
Tang Qianhui, who participated in the doubles match of the Merida 500 tournament, finally stopped in the quarterfinals and became the first Chinese girl to fall behind. But Yuan Yue and Zhang Shuai, who played in the Austin doubles match, made fans and netizens excited.
After suffering a heavy setback in the first round of singles, Yuan Yue, who played in doubles, revealed a ruthlessness that did not admit defeat, and this unyielding spirit finally brought her an unexpected surprise, becoming the first Chinese golden flower to advance to the doubles final last week.
After that, Zhang Shuai's partner Kessler did not live up to everyone's expectations, following in the footsteps of Yuan Yue, and the two met in the Austin doubles final.
Although Yuan Yue and Zhang Shuai have won the championship and runner-up of the event in advance, and whoever wins is an acceptable result, the fans and netizens in the live broadcast room are still very concerned about the final result, eager to know whether the 36-year-old Zhang Shuai's ginger is spicier, or the young Xiao Yueyue has a stronger and more powerful impact.
Judging from the performance of the Zhang Shuai combination and the Yuan Yue combination in the first set, it is obvious that the former performed better. In particular, the Zhang Shuai combination achieved the break of the Yuan Yue combination twice, winning the first 6-3, which made the Zhang Shuai combination far ahead in the support rate of winning the championship, surpassing the Yuan Yue combination by several positions.
After seeing Yuan Yue being forced to a situation where there was no way out by Zhang Shuai, some fans and netizens described the Chinese Yangzhou girl like this, if Xiao Yueyue is ruthless, it will be quite terrifying.
Sure enough, as soon as the second set of the contest began, Yuan Yue let people see Xiao Yueyue, who was completely different from the first set, and directly tied the big score by sending Zhang Shuai to combine fritters.
In the tiebreaker of the ten major battles, Yuan Yue's combination became more and more courageous. Everyone saw that after Zhang Shuai's combination unexpectedly lost 6 points in a row when they scored one point first, there was no suspense about the outcome of the game. In the end, Yuan Yue and the combination sealed the victory of the whole game 10-4, and reversed Zhang Shuai to win the Austin 250 doubles championship trophy.
Yuan Yue's happiness after winning is inevitable! This Austin doubles championship made Xiao Yueyue lose the east corner of the Sangyu, while making up for the regret of not being able to defend the title in the singles early, but also won the first championship of the new season for the Chinese tennis team, Yuan Yue can be said to have made a great contribution to Chinese tennis in the new season, and it will greatly boost the morale of others.
In addition, before Yuan Yue bloomed in the doubles finals, in the history of Austin, there had never been a person who won the singles and doubles championship at the same time, but Yuan Yue did it, rewriting the history of the event in one fell swoop, making Yuan Yue a legend in Austin.
Although Zhang Shuai missed the first championship of the new season, the 36-year-old Chinese veteran, at such an advanced age, can still score such a round on the tour, which has surpassed the competitive sports itself, which can be said to be glorious despite defeat, which is why Zhang Shuai received the same applause as Yuan Yue after the game.
After the game, everyone talked about Zhang Shuai, and emphasized one point, although holding the championship trophy in hand can indeed make people feel extremely beautiful, but from the point of view of Zhang Shuai leading by example and acting as a role model for young Chinese players, "The far-reaching meaning behind it is actually no different from winning the championship." ”
Zhang Shuai's exemplary power has been released, and Yuan Yue has also filled the gap of the Chinese tennis corps without a tour champion in the new season. It has made all fans and netizens set their eyes on the upcoming North American Sunshine Double Match!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
