With the continuous progress of Chinese men's tennis players in the Grand Slam, Tour, Challenger and Hope Tournament in recent years, the number of Chinese fans has been increasing, and a very large market has been formed. These events tend to last for a long time, and because of this, I call this period the Chinese season. While waiting, we waited for the first event of the China season of the Challenge, the Guangzhou Challenge. However, the Chinese men's tennis player was beaten in the face at this week's Guangzhou Challenger. So, what's going on here? Today, let the humble article take you to see it.
Yang Zijiang, Zheng Zhan, Xiao Linang, and Zeng Yaojie participated in the Guangzhou Challenge Qualifying Tournament as wild card players. However, against the top seed in qualifying, Britain's Peniston, Zheng Zhan only won three games in two sets, which can be called a complete defeat; In the duel with his opponent, although Yang Zijiang forced his opponent into a tie-break, he was finally defeated because of the gap in strength; And Xiao Linang was reversed in two sets in a row by Thai player Jia Xidi in the first game, and was shocked out; As for Zeng Yaojie, he was also defeated by his opponent in straight sets. The fact that the four of them won only one set of the match made people feel a little speechless. Lu Pengyu was sent two duck eggs by India's Ramanasan, subjectively speaking, such a defeat is undoubtedly humiliating. Fortunately, Mo Yecong fought in three sets and defeated his opponent, finally saving a little face for Chinese men's tennis players. In the decisive round of the qualifying round, in the face of Jia Xidi's aggressiveness, Mo Yecong unexpectedly defeated his opponent, and while entering the main match, it also gave fans a glimmer of hope.
However, hope comes and goes faster. The Mongolian player who took the lead in the game, Terrigele, was reversed by France's Atmana in two sets in a row after taking the first game. In fact, it is not terrible to be reversed, but what is terrible is that in the last two sets of the game, Terrigele only won four games. Chen Yuren, who played with a wild card, was swept out by his opponent in the duel with France's Grenier, which can really be described as "coming and going".
In the duel with Russia's Kachmazov, who had reached the semi-finals of the tour, Sun Fajing took the initiative in the second set and even forced his opponent into a tie-break, but in the end, because the tournament experience was far inferior to his opponent, he was ultimately defeated. Mo Yecong let go of a game when he ate a fritter in the first set, and although he lost in the tie-break, he was still honored despite defeat, and he could leave with a smile. The only winner Cui Jie was the only Chinese men's tennis player in the first round of the Guangzhou Challenger with two 6-4 victories over post-05 player Zhou Yi in the compatriot derby.
In this way, the Chinese men's tennis players won only two victories in the qualifying round against foreign players. In the first round of the main draw, the four Chinese men's tennis players all lost to foreign players without exception, and only won one set, which is really embarrassing. However, this also shows that Chinese men's tennis players still have a lot of room for improvement. Hopefully, in the next Challenger season in China, we can see the good performance of Chinese men's tennis players, so let's bless them here.
Sports is a river and lake, and tennis is also a river and lake. I hope my article can bring some fresh information to all fans. Whether it's compliments or criticisms, maybe it's just to be able to get me far. That's it for today, and it continues tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
