Chinese Music KingJay ChouIn recent years, his love for tennis is no longer a secret. Not only does he often share his daily practice on social platforms, but he also competes with artist friends and sports experts from time to time. He even personally “draws people into the game” and calls on friends around him to play together. He announced on the social platform on January 12 that he would participate in special events related to the Australian Open as a “player”, which once again stirred up the topic.
Jay Chou recently previewed the upcoming big news in a limited-time Instagram feed, and then announced his answer in person, announcing that he was invited to participate in the Australian Open’s performance event “One Point Slam”. After the news was exposed, the official Australian Open community also posted a message to welcome him, describing his transformation from the music king who conquered the stadium to the movie character Kato in “The Green Hornet”, and now he has crossed over into a tennis player and officially joined the Australian Open stage, which immediately triggered a fan riot.
It is reported that Jay Chou is not participating in a traditional long-term professional tour event, but a “1 Point Slam” exhibition event promoted by the Australian Open and has high creative and entertainment value. The special thing about this competition is that one goal determines life and death for both players, and only one point can determine promotion or elimination.
The Australian Open official also wrote a special article to welcome this new “player”, praising his transformation from a king who conquered the gym to a athlete who is devoted to tennis. In this regard, Jay Chou himself also showed his usual “Chow-style humor” on social media. He laughed and said that the game was extremely fast-paced. He suggested that fans should not come from far away if they did not buy tickets, because the game “may be over in less than a minute.” He also humorously prayed that he could get the right to serve to avoid losing without even touching the ball.
In addition to his competitive performance, Jay Chou also showed his philanthropic mind and promised that if he can pass the competition and win the championship, he will donate all the competition prize money of up to 1 million US dollars (approximately HK$7.8 million) to give back to the society.
According to the currently released schedule, Jay Chou is expected to set foot on the most representative Australian Open “Rod Laver Arena” at 4:30 pm on January 14 (Wednesday).
