Rhythm Huzhou, pat to win! Huzhou Tennis Open Stringer Work Revealed!

At the end of April, the 2025 China Tennis Tour CTA1000 Huzhou Tennis Open) came to a successful conclusion at the Huzhou International Clay Tennis Center. For players, the racquet is their best partner to win the game, and the key to making the racquet handy is the stringer's meticulous stringing service.

Wang Cheng and Wang Xin, two stringers, formed the official stringing team of this event, and they shared the specific situation of serving this competition in their spare time. "Based on the number of players involved, the total number of stringing in this tournament has met our expectations. The number of racket stringing is more concentrated in men's players, like the men's singles champion Zhou Weizhou in this event, who wore nearly ten rackets. Seeded players will string a little more than players who are lower in the rankings or qualifiers, and players who make it to the deep round will definitely string a little more. ”

The Huzhou Open is a clay tournament, so the tension of the string will be adjusted due to changes in temperature and humidity. Wang Xin said: "Players will choose their own pounds, and a very small number of them will reduce the tension according to the style of play (maybe a little more spin), and from the perspective of stringing data, this phenomenon occurs." In general, our workload was concentrated in the first day before the qualifiers and the round of 16, the first day was more than 50, the second day was close to 20, the third day was almost a dozen, and the last day was overtime, and we didn't leave the stadium until 1 a.m. for two consecutive days. ”

According to Wang Xin, most players will give the rackets to the stringer one day in advance, and the stringer will complete the stringing work of all the rackets received that day to prepare the players for the next day's competition; Very few players have special requirements for the racket, and the stringer will adjust it according to the needs. "Players like Li Wenfu have a higher demand for racket pressure, and we need to make the racket one hour before the second day, because after you finish the first day, the racket will lose a little bit of pressure, but this is also an isolated phenomenon."

For such a large tennis event, stringers will also face unexpected situations. "When it was more urgent, I was very impressed that Ye Xiuyuan entered the main selection in the third round of the qualifiers, because the time was compressed, and the first round of his main selection was scheduled in the afternoon. In the first game, I was stringing, and I had to put on this racket within 15 minutes, draw a logo and bag; The second one happened after the end of the second set, and the tie ten was used again, which means that Ye Xiuyuan himself has two expedited shots. Wang Xin recalled, "The players suddenly have not enough rackets on the field, and their rackets are also loose, and there are disconnections, so it is necessary to expedite it immediately, and our guarantee service must be in place." ”

This is the first time that the two stringers have come to Huzhou to serve the tournament, and they spoke highly of the services of the Huzhou Open Tennis Tournament and the Huzhou International Clay Tennis Center. "The scenery and service quality of this new stadium in Huzhou are very good, and all parties are very cooperative with our work, and we are very satisfied, and I think the players are also very happy. As a stringing team, it is our first time to come to Huzhou, and this is the first stop of this year's China Tour, we are very happy when we come, both from accommodation services to the course. Looking forward to the next time we can also string for the tennis tournament in Huzhou. ”
