The shoe change turmoil caused dissatisfaction among the audience, Zheng Qinwen bluntly said that he was surprised, and Raducanu interviewed him to satirize his unbearableness

"What are the boundaries of the rules? It's the awe and respect for sportsmanship! ”

Just yesterday, China's first sister Zheng Qinwen was once again sent to the forefront of public opinion, and the reason was because she changed her shoes and shots many times in the match with Raducanu, which caused netizens to question her sportsmanship multiple times.

This focus battle was very fierce from the beginning, one is a Chinese sister, the other is a former British sister, and the first encounter between the two is definitely comparable to Mars hitting the earth. However, when the smell of gunpowder made people feel more and more nervous, Zheng Qinwen's action of requesting a timeout to change his shoes and racket after slipping twice in Raducanu's crucial service game became the fuse of this public opinion storm.

"It happened three times on my serve and obviously it wasn't ideal." Raducanu made no secret of his frustration when he was questioned by reporters after the game.

The discontent of the British crowd turned into boos that overwhelmed the crowd, and it was clear that these timeouts occurred on the crucial points of Raducanu's crucial serve, especially as Zheng Qinwen's timeout poured cold water over the course of the match as Raducanu tried to establish his own service rhythm.

Crowds expressed strong dissatisfaction, as can be seen in last night's broadcast footage: some waved their arms in protest, others booed, and others roared angrily.

After the game, the fans were in a mess. One fan insisted that "successive interruptions in the opponent's serve game are clearly 'tactical interference' and contrary to sportsmanship even if the rules allow it." Some netizens replied, "She can wait for the break to do such a thing, or she should ask the opponent for permission at the first time, which is obviously very rude!" ”

Another netizen said, "In the game, tying shoes, changing shoes, throwing balls in the air, changing rackets, medical timeouts, changing clothes, etc. are mostly small tricks, and it is beneficial to destroy the opponent's rhythm." ”

However, some fans retorted: "I don't think so! In fact, this is within the scope of the rules, she did not break the rules, and she was also allowed by the referee, and all events within the rules can be carried out! These things are not anyone's 'patent', they are things that happen a lot on the field. ”

However, when asked directly by reporters after the game what he thought of Zheng Qinwen's two changes of shoes and rackets during the game, Raducanu's answer was very intriguing.

"To be honest, I didn't know what I was supposed to do at that moment. About three times, and that's obviously not ideal! Raducanu then added, "But obviously the referee has his judgment and I can't change anything." ”

The British girl's statement was interpreted by the media as "sarcasm", and some netizens ridiculed it, "The boat of WTA sisterhood friendship is really overturned!" Obviously, this remark has put the relationship between the two into a delicate situation, and although Raducanu's words are not directly accused, the emotions that flow between the lines are enough to cause heated discussions in the tennis world.

The first Chinese sister explained her behavior during the game after the game, and bluntly said that the reaction of the audience did surprise her, "I'm not sure when to change the grass ball shoes." I've been wearing these shoes for a long time, and you've seen me slip three times after the opening two rounds. After slipping and falling, I thought I had to change my shoes or I would break my leg. But I didn't expect the audience to be so upset about me changing shoes, and that's not something I can control. ”

Zheng then reiterated that he has always respected Emma and felt that she was a very good player.

"We met when we were teenagers, she is also of Chinese descent, and sometimes I talk to her in Chinese. She was a tough opponent today and I gave it my all on the court. We're sure we'll have a few more fights in the future, so let's wait and see. The first sister of China said.

Regarding Zheng Qinwen's response, some netizens also said bluntly, "Obviously, Xiao Zheng's change of shoes is really not a tactical use of the rules." A Shanghai netizen defended Zheng Qinwen, "At that time, Xiao Zheng had two break points, and the first break point had already taken the advantage. ”

Another netizen said, "I don't understand, why are so many people holding on to it, so in that case, Raducanu also had a medical timeout in the game, isn't this a tactic?" Obviously, it's just as unbearable, two people are each other. ”

Is it a reasonable use of rules? Or is it a disdain against sportsmanship? The answer to this question may be a matter of opinion after all.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
