Time flies so fast. It has been two years since the end of the Hangzhou Asian Games. It is the leader of Chinese tennis.Zhang ZhizhenandZheng QinwenThe scene of winning the championship at the doorstep of your home in Hangzhou is still vivid in my mind, as if it happened yesterday. It can be said that the Hangzhou Asian Games has opened the highlight of Chinese tennis!
The Hangzhou Asian Games two years ago were the best display of Chinese sports, and the best publicity for the entire Zhejiang region and Hangzhou city image. Especially in the post-Asian Games era, Asian Games venues such as Big Lotus and Little Lotus have more opportunities and higher utilization rates. National sports have become popular in Zhejiang, and people feel more about the health and happiness brought by sports.
What is very exciting is that Zhang Zhizhen defeated Japanese player Kuma Yosuke Mian 2-0 in the men’s singles final of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou and won the gold medal at home. When the national anthem sounded and the five-star red flag was flying high above the field, the most excited and excited were the fans watching the game on the spot. You should know that this is the Chinese men’s tennis winning the gold medal in the Asian Games event again after 29 years.
Zheng Qinwen performed even more eye-catching in the women’s singles final of the Hangzhou Asian Games tennis team, defeating his compatriot Zhu Lin to win the gold medal and winning the Chinese Golden Flower Derby. The game was held at the “Little Lotus” Stadium, which also attracted the attention of many tennis fans. Zheng Qinwen and Zhu Lin won the gold medal and silver medal in the women’s singles tennis. When two five-star red flags rose above the field, the inside and outside the field suddenly became a sea of joy. This is the second women’s singles championship won by a Chinese player at the Asian Games after Li Xinyi won the Seoul Asian Games in 1986!
It is precisely because of Zhang Zhizhen and Zheng Qinwen’s outstanding performance in winning tennis men’s and women’s singles gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games that another tennis craze has suddenly sparked in China, especially in the 2024 Zheng Qinwen won the gold medal in the women’s singles gold medal in the Paris Olympics, Zhang Zhizhen andWang XinyuThe partner in the mixed doubles wins silver has brought Chinese tennis to a new peak.
The new generation of forces continue to rise with each other, and the tennis male playersBuyun ChaoketandBusiness completion processIt is one of the outstanding representatives. Chinese tennis has formed the first echelon with Zhang Zhizhen, Wu Yibing, Buyun Chaoket and Shang Juncheng as the first echelon, as well as the second echelon with Zhou Yi, Sun Fajin, Bai Ni, Terigele, Zhang Tianhui and other generals.
There are more outstanding talents in the Chinese women’s tennis team, which is related to the training mechanism for Chinese women’s tennis talents. Li Na won the women’s singles championships in the French Open in 2011 and the Australian Open in 2014. She is also a leader and legendary figure in Chinese tennis. Li Ting and Sun Tiantian won the first gold medal in women’s doubles at the 2004 Athens Olympics. In 2006, Zheng Jie and Yan Zi won the first Australian Open and Wimbledon women’s doubles championship again. In 2013, Peng Shuai and Xie Shuwei won the Wimbledon championship. In 2014, they won the Australian Open women’s doubles championship again. In 2019Zhang ShuaiPartner Stoser won the Australian Open women’s doubles championship. They won the US Open women’s doubles championship in 2021. In 2023, the Strait combination of Wang Xinyu and Xie Shuwei won the French Open women’s doubles championship, etc. These are the glorious moments of China’s Golden Flower.
China Golden Flower has always had a good inheritance, especially a spirit of never giving up. The most admirable thing is the 36-year-old veteran Zhang Shuai. After 24 consecutive losses in the tour, he refused to give up and persisted, and became more and more courageous as he setbacks. His ranking increased from 595th place at the end of 2024 to more than 100th place now. In addition to the above-mentioned outstanding players, a large number of golden flowers have emerged now, and we are familiar with them are Zhu Lin,Wang Yafan、Yuan Yue、Wang XiyuWait, and a group of young flowers such as Wei Sijia followed closely behind, forming a vivid scene of blooming flowers.
The results of Chinese tennis in the tour are also remarkable, including female players Zheng Qinwen, Zhang Shuai,Wang QiangZheng Saisai, Zhu Lin, Wang Xiyu, Yuan Yue and others have all won the WTA Tour singles championship. The male players Wu Yibing and Shang Juncheng have won the ATP Tour championship, especially the Zhejiang Hangzhou player Wu Yibing won the first tour championship in the 2023 ATP250 Dallas Station, and is also the first person to win the championship in the Mainland Chinese Players Tour. This is not only a new breakthrough in Chinese men’s tennis, but also the pride of people in Zhejiang and Hangzhou!
The biggest regret now is that among the players in their year of playing, they have never tasted the taste of a Grand Slam singles championship, which is also the next goal pursued by the Chinese Legion. Injuries are the biggest enemy of athletes. I sincerely hope that every athlete has a healthy body, not troubled by injuries, or even affects his career. As players such as Zheng Qinwen and Zhang Zhizhen are about to return from injury, we look forward to the Chinese season that will start in the golden autumn and in the major tennis competitions next year, and hope that some people will win the Grand Slam men’s and women’s singles championship as soon as possible and write a new glory of Chinese tennis.
