This year's Grand Slam US Open has already started on August 28. Sharapova, the No. 3 seed, was divided into Zone 2/4. It is worth mentioning that there are five female players in China participating in this year's US Open competition, and three of them are also divided into Zone 2/4.
Among the three Chinese players in the 2/4 area, except for No. 24 seed Li Na, the other two players were eliminated in the first round, and Li Na was worthy of the title of a domestic tennis sister. He met Lorenzo in Spain and Danieli in Greece, and then met the famous French player in the third round, the 13th seed Pierce.
However, Li Na’s luck was very good. Although Pierce defeated Li Na 6-4 in the first round, he suffered a leg injury during the game and had to give up the game. Li Na successfully entered the top 16 of the US Open. A big breakthrough.
The opponent Li Na met in the fourth round was Sharapova.
By comparison, Sharapova’s promotion path is much smoother. As the third seed, she easily defeated Dutch player Krajisek in the first round with a total score of 2:0; The total score 2-0 defeated the French player Lova, and the win was easier than the first round; in the third round, Sharapova met her compatriot Likhovtseva, Likhovtseva was a The doubles-based player, her highest ranking in the singles event is fifteenth. Compared with Sharapova, there is a big gap in her strength, so Sharapova still easily advances with a total score of 2:0.
In the fourth round of the US Open, Li Na played against Sharapova. One is the 24th seed of the tournament, and the other is the third seed of the tournament. From this ranking, we can see the difference in strength between the two, so the American media generally believe that this game is no suspense. Sharapova will definitely be promoted with an overwhelming advantage.
But the domestic media don't think so. In the eyes of the Chinese, one is a sister of domestic tennis and the other is Zhang Guan's girlfriend. The contest between the two should be a showdown between the tip of the needle and the Maimang, so even if the broadcast time of the US Open is very poor Conducive to the domestic audience to watch the game. But there are still many people waiting in front of the TV in the middle of the night, waiting to watch the contest.
This is a game of special significance. Except that the broadcast lens is aimed at the two players, most of the time is capturing the two adjacent positions in the front row of the auditorium. People, one is Li Na's husband Jiang Shan. Another of course is Sharapova's boyfriend Zhang Guan.
So there was a strange phenomenon at the scene. The two players struggled the field as if they were enemies, while in the audience, the relatives of the two players were talking intimately, as if they were brothers.
...
"How long are you going to stay in the United States?" Jiang Shan said while looking at his wife on the field. Then he shook his head slightly. This time Li was too big, and Sharapova would definitely take the chance.
"I'll stay for more than a week. I have to go to Greece a few days to participate in the track and field World Cup held on the 16th." Zhang Guan then asked: "Brother Jiang, how about you? After the US Open, I didn't spend much time with that sister." How many days?"
"You have a match on the 16th, and we have a match on the 18th. The Chinese Open is about to start! The home game at home. Li Na must definitely participate." Jiang Shan said with a pause, then said: "This time I came out together Among the players, Zheng Jie and they will go back first. Li Na and I will wait until the US Open competition ends, saying that the organizer still has a US Open charity day. Li Na wants to participate."
"Charity Day? What is this? I haven't heard it before!" Zhang Guan said.
"It is after the US Open that players go to the community to do something like fundraising. Other tennis tournaments rarely have this kind of activity. At most get a dinner, the Americans like to do it." Jiang Shan explained .
"It is estimated that Martha must also participate." Zhang Guan said.
Jiang Shan nodded: "That is inevitable. The top 16 players should all participate, or they may be separated. For example, several people go to a community in a group. The specific situation is not clear to me. I will listen to the arrangement at that time! Anyway, Americans have to eat and live, so they should travel here for free."
The two were talking in the audience, and Sharapova had already won the first game 6-4.
Sharapova seemed very relaxed. She had entered the state. She felt that the next round should end soon. I saw that she drank some water and changed a racket.
And Li Na's face is very dignified. Sharapova's play is very aggressive. Whether it is a forehand or a backhand, the strength and depth of the batting are very full, and it is the most seeking angle, and Sharapova likes it very much. Replacing the traditional online volley with a powerfully rotating batting, this often makes mistakes in Li Na's judgment.
Li Na is not yet a future Grand Slam champion. Although her forehand angle is now very variable, her backhand style is relatively stable, the ball speed is not as fast as in the future, and it does not pose a threat to Sharapova. The biggest shortcoming of Li Na now is that the serving is not stable enough, and the double-law turnover rate is very high. To know the future sister, serving is her most important offensive weapon. Today, serving is unstable, which means that her sharpest weapon is scrapped.
In the second round of the game, Li Na's shortcomings in serving instability showed up. She made several double-handed mistakes. As a result, she quickly lost the game with a score of 2-6, and Sharapova successfully advanced Quarterfinals.
...
In the hotel restaurant, Zhang Guanzheng was accompanied by Sharapova, and the two shared breakfast.
In yesterday's match, Sharapova played against French player Golovin. Golovin was the 27th seed in the tournament. The ranking is still under Li Na, but it is more difficult for Sharapova to win, although it is the total The score 2:0 won, but both teams reached a tie-break, and in the first game, the two sides each broke three times, which can be described as fierce.
"It seemed very hard to watch you win yesterday." Zhang Guan continued: "It seems that Golovin knows your style very well."
Sharapova nodded: "Perhaps it's because we are more familiar with each other! Golovin was also born in Russia and later immigrated to France."
"It turns out this way." Zhang Guan knew this for the first time. Then he continued: "Then your opponent will be the French next! Maurice Mo seems to be the top seed player of the US Open this time."
"Yes, I have had three contests with Maurismo before, but I have never won! But I am confident to beat her in the next game! I have prepared some targeted tactics, Maurismo is a slower player . So I want to play more fiercely in the opening stage!" Sharapova said while looking up behind Zhang Guan, and then said: "Max is here!"
Zhang Guan turned his head and saw that Sharapova's agent Max Eisenbad came over.
Max-Eisenbad is one of img's ace agents. After Li Na's solo flight, he also became Li Na's agent.
img is also a world-class giant in sports entertainment. Moreover, img is the first sports company to enter the Chinese market, and has a very close relationship with domestic officials. There are shadows of img participation in the domestic football league a and the FA Cup, the basketball cba league, the table tennis face, the net, etc.
Sharapova and Zhang Guan got up at the same time, and Max-Eisenbad walked over quickly, and when he approached, he said, "Good morning, two! I'm sorry to disturb your breakfast."
"Max, there must be something important. Otherwise, you won't come here so early." Sharapova said.
"Yes, but Martha, I didn't come to you this time, I came to find Zhang Guan." Eisenbad said.
"Find me?" Zhang Guan was a little surprised.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang Guan, here is an invitation letter for you." Eisenbad pulled out a letter from his briefcase and handed it to Zhang Guan. At the same time, "The organizers of the US Open invite you to participate in the Charity Day. They don't know your contact information, so they came to me."
"Charity Day!" Zhang Guan nodded. He heard Jiang Shan say this before, and then he asked: "I'm not a tennis player, how did the organizers think about me?"
"I think because you are Chinese!" Eisenbad continued: "The news I heard is that if you agree to attend the US Open Charity Day, they will arrange for Martha to be with you in the nearest queen. The district held a charitable fund-raising event. Also attending was your compatriot Li and his wife. You know that there are many Chinese and Chinese immigrants living in Flushing, Queens. If you attend, it will probably have the best effect. "
"They really can choose people." Zhang Guan smiled, and then said: "Martha must be attending this charity day event! Then I will accompany Martha!"
"Okay, I will inform the organizer." Eisenbad said.
"I haven't participated in similar activities in the United States yet. I don't know what I need to do?" Zhang Guan asked.
After thinking about it, Eisenbad said, "Generally it means shaking hands, taking photos and signing with everyone, and live performance..."
"Live performance? Performance?" Zhang Guan felt a little surprised.
"No, no, you misunderstood. It's not a literary performance, it's a sports performance." Eisenbad said with a smile: "For example, basketball, it will probably let the star show a ball skills, fancy dunk or 1v1 bullfight or something; Baseball will perform several hits; as for tennis, it may be an exhibition game, play one or two sets on the spot!"
"I still have to play! I can't beat Martha." Zhang Guan looked at Sharapova involuntarily and said a little discouraged.
"Surely you won't let you fight with me." Sharapova interjected and said: "I didn't say that Max just said that the Li couple will also go, it is estimated to be a mixed doubles, you and me, against Li Na. Couple."
"Fight with them? How did you play it! Li Na's husband Jiang Shan, once a professional tennis player, is also the best mixed doubles player in our country! What's more important is that the couple has played mixed doubles for several years! Just a tennis rookie..." Zhang Guan complained.
"My dear, it's just an exhibition game. You don't have to look at the outcome so important." Sharapova smiled slyly, and then said: "And you said, you are a tennis rookie, if you lose, I will take responsibility Push on you."
"Uh, okay, it seems that I really need to be blamed..." Zhang Guan sighed softly.
At the same time, Zhang Guan had another thought in his heart:
"I can't bear it? I won't do it! When I learn a few new tennis skills, I will give you a big surprise!" (To be continued.)
