According to Taiwan’s Central News Agency, on January 14, in the “One-Shot Victory” special match of the 2026 Australian Open in Melbourne, singer Jay Chou faced 24-year-old Australian tennis player Peter Jovich in the first round. He failed to swing the racket and was eliminated by his opponent’s direct serve. He posted a post on the social platform and laughed at himself, “As expected, I didn’t even touch the ball.” He also said that all he could do on the sidelines was sign autographs for everyone.

According to reports, the “One Goal to Win” event pits amateur players against professional players, and the right to serve is determined through guessing. Jay Chou played in the game on the afternoon of the 14th and faced the 24-year-old Australian Peter Jovic. At that time, Jay Chou made a guess and Jovic made a move and won the right to serve.

Jay Chou walked into the court wearing sunglasses. When he took off his sunglasses to prepare for the duel, he was “instantly killed” by his opponent’s ball without even touching the ball.

According to the report, Jay Chou posted on the social platform after the game, laughing at himself, “I expected it, and I didn’t even touch the ball.” “In addition to practicing ball, I will also practice rock-paper-scissors.” At the same time, he shared a photo of fans on the sidelines using ropes to fish hats and shoes to ask for his autograph. He humorously said, “All I can do on the sidelines is to sign autographs for everyone!”
