Zhang Shuai frequently teaches young juniors and is called Teacher Zhang, and the world ranking is strong and returns to the TOP150

This year's trip to Gifu, Japan, allowed Zhang Shuai to have a full sense of presence for Chinese tennis, and also allowed her to complete the transformation from a "Chinese model worker to Teacher Zhang".

Zhang Shuai's match with this year's Australian Open junior women's singles champion Hachiko Sonobe in the quarterfinals of the Gifu 100K has already made fans and netizens excited.

I thought that the 36-year-old Zhang Shuai was 19 years younger than him and a powerful Japanese girl, and he was very likely to encounter challenges, but he didn't expect that Jiang would still be old and spicy in the end. After 2-3 in the first set, Zhang Shuai completely took over the whole match, swept Sonobe Hachika in ten consecutive games, and advanced strongly to the Gifu 100K semifinals.

For the 36-year-old Zhang Shuai, a semi-final against 18-year-old Australian teenager Jones is still a big test.

Although Jones has not won a junior Grand Slam championship like Sonobe Hachiko, she is the No. 1 in the junior world and is not weak. has fought against juniors who are more than ten years younger than him, and the strength of the opponent is not weak, and many people are worried before the game whether Zhang Shuai will finally fold in the ancient motto of "boxing is afraid of being young".

At that time, seeing Zhang Shuai enter the state at a very fast speed in the first set, and played quite well at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and took the lead 6-3, the tight heartstrings of fans and netizens in the live broadcast room had just relaxed, and they never wanted to start from the second set, and they instantly became nervous again.

Judging by Jones's performance in the second set, she clearly had more impact than the Japanese girl Sonobe Yasang.

After dropping the first set and becoming the more stressed side of the match, Jones chose to take a risk after being forced to the point where there was no way back.

The fearless adventurous spirit, coupled with a fierce attack, quickly overshadowed Zhang's edge in the first set. Seeing that the Chinese veteran finally couldn't withstand Jones's offensive firepower and quickly handed over the second set 2-6 victory, it made everyone's worries about the Chinese veteran even worse.

Just when everyone thought Zhang Shuai might have more trouble in the deciding set, the Chinese veteran's performance quickly impressed her. After fully showing his sophistication, he immediately reassured everyone, not only suppressed the momentum of the Australian girl, but gave Jones a 6-2 victory, ending the battle in one fell swoop.

The reason why the 17-year-old Japanese girl Sonobe Hachika swept the 17-year-old Japanese girl Sonobe Yasa in the quarterfinals and defeated the 18-year-old Australian girl Jones in the semi-finals, making everyone cheer for the 36-year-old Zhang Shuai's two matches is that the Chinese veteran has vividly demonstrated the skills of the bottom line, the front of the net and the slash, which is why she can have the last laugh.

Especially in this game against Jones, after the Australian girl pulled back a set 6-2, it seemed that Zhang Shuai gave her a chance to turn the tables, but compared with these skills shown by the Chinese veteran, Jones still seems a little immature, and this tuition should indeed be paid.

After the game, some people bluntly said that aside from the 36-year-old Zhang Shuai's great desire for victory, and her hard work surpasses that of the younger generations, just the various skills she sacrificed in the competition are worthy of being seriously summarized and learned by the eight musicians of the garden department and Jones, "It is deserved to call her Teacher Zhang." ”

In addition, everyone is talking about Zhang Shuai's two victories, and there is another reason, she avenged other Chinese golden flowers.

Yuan Yue played against the eight pieces of the garden in the first round of this year's Abu Dhabi, and was swept and defeated by the Japanese girl; Wang Xinyu was also given a round trip by Jones in Australia.

Now defeated Yuan Yue and Wang Xinyu, the two potential tennis stars, have been defeated by Zhang Shuai, some fans and netizens said that this is also their fate with Chinese players, let Zhang Shuai teach them a lesson, it is indeed not a grievance to lose.

It has always been said that Zhang Shuai belongs to the kind of person who shows his skills in times of crisis, and this time it has been confirmed again in Gifu. After other Chinese players disappeared from the court in advance, Zhang Shuai once again held high the banner of Chinese tennis and stepped into the spotlight, so she was also laughed by some fans and netizens as "the goddess of Chinese tennis".

After reaching the final in Gifu, Zhang Shuai has reached the 144th place in the world rankings, and she will face Thailand's Sawang Kai for the final title.
