Zhang Guan sat next to the computer and watched the media interview with the Wimbledon final yesterday, and now the video of the interview with Nadal is playing.
"I think I was defeated, you know, in the pre-match investigation, nearly half of the people thought that it was impossible for me to reach the Wimbledon final, so for me, it is already very good to enter the final. "Nadal smiled self-deprecatingly, then said: "I am a good loser!"
Zhang Guan in front of the computer smiled. He remembered that he said to Nadal after the game: "It's a good game." He didn't expect Nadal to say that he was a "good loser."
I saw in the video that Nadal went on to say: "The gap? On the grass field, the gap between me and Zhang Guan is really big. But I think any player has a big gap with him, unless it is Sampras at the peak. At the stadium, you can compete with Zhang Guan in the Wimbledon arena!"
Nadal shrugged his shoulders: "At this time of tomorrow, I will enjoy a good time by the beach of Mallorca. To be honest, I am very satisfied with this series of performances at Wimbledon. From French Open to Wimbledon The continuous games are really tiring, so I need to relax and take a holiday to adjust the state. The UK is now the rainy season, and in addition to rain these days, it is waiting for rain, which is too depressing. . Now I really can’t wait to enjoy the sunshine on the Iberian Peninsula!"
Only Zhang Guan said: "Nadal is going on vacation. Mallorca is a "Mediterranean paradise." This season should be very good. Sun, beach, sea breeze..."
"There are still many beautiful women!" Sharapova interjected: "Do you really want to go too?"
"I want to ask you if you have any plans. For example, take a vacation," Zhang Guan said.
Sharapova shook her head: "I want to train."
"Training?" Zhang Guan was puzzled: "You may still have injuries..."
"That also requires training." Sharapova said a little irritably: "You have already got three Grand Slams, and I only have two."
"Uh..." Zhang Guan felt Sharapova's attitude and didn't know what to say for a while. He knew that Sharapova was actually very strong, and he did not expect his three Grand Slams. On the contrary, he gave Sharapova pressure. He wanted to persuade Sharapova to avoid such a fight, but he felt that it might have a counter-effect.
"Maybe I shouldn't come to play tennis." Zhang Guan looked at Sharapova with some worry.
It was at this time that Zhang Guan's cell phone rang and distracted him.
Zhang Guan picked up his phone. Seeing a text message from Zhuge Wenbo, there are only seven words on the text message: Congratulations, the number one in the world!
"No. 1 in the world? By the way, today is Monday. Atp Ken announced the new world ranking again. Do I rise to No. 1 in the world?" Zhang Guan thought of this. Immediately entered the official website of atp to view the new world ranking.
In the recently announced world ranking of men’s singles, Zhang Guan has already ranked first. He won a total of three Grand Slam titles this year. Each championship is 2000 points, so now he is exactly 6000 points. .
Federer ranked second, this is his first less than 6000 points in the past three years. At his peak, Federer had to maintain about 8,000 points all year round. However, due to the emergence of Zhang Guan, Federer first lost an Australian Open champion and did not get the runner-up on the French Open. Wimbledon also stopped in the semi-finals. This time, it lost 1800 points, so the points fell directly below 6000.
The third-placed Nadal, whose points remained at 4,000 points, was the runner-up of Wimbledon last year. So there is no big change in points after Wimbledon.
On the contrary, Djokovic, because of entering the semifinals of Wimbledon, the results have risen by one more, becoming the fourth in the world.
"I rank first in the world!" Zhang Guan said softly.
...
For the media, Zhang Guan's ascending the world's first throne is obviously more attractive than the Wimbledon champion. There are many tennis matches every year, and there are also many champions. Even the Grand Slam champion, Zhang Guan has won two. Now the third Grand Slam champion obviously does not have the sensational effect of the previous Australian Open.
But the world's number one is different. There is only one number one in the world, and it represents the best in this field. Zhang Guan switched from track and field to tennis, and he only stood at the pinnacle of tennis in just seven months. The key is that Zhang Guan pushed Federer into second place.
Federer has been firmly seated on the throne of the world since 2004. He won three Grand Slam titles in 2004, two Grand Slam titles in 2005, and three Grand Slam titles in 2006. At that time, the gap between him and the world’s second Nadal was as high as nearly 3000 points. Federer's advantage looks unshakable, no one thinks Federer will lose the world's first. And this year, Zhang Guan suddenly emerged, squeezing Federer in perfect condition to the second place in the world.
Obviously, the domestic media should pay more attention to this point. Any "world first" is the most eye-catching thing for the readers. Therefore, domestic media, while reporting that Zhang Guan won the Wimbledon title, is also focusing on promoting Zhang Guan's ranking in the world. The first thing.
At this time, Director Liu of the Tennis Center was also in pain and happy. The happiness was because Zhang Guan won the Wimbledon championship, and the ranking was ranked first in the world, and the pain was a headache for the September Chinese Open. .
This year's Chinese Open is from September 10 to September 16, which is similar to previous years, but the time of the US Open for one of the four Grand Slams is from August 27 to September 9. Although the Chinese Open and the US Open are close together in time, for players participating in the US Open finals, the time overlaps.
The finals of tennis competitions are generally held in the afternoon of local time, with a time difference of 12 hours between China and the United States, so the beginning of the U.S. Open final on September 9 in the United States, the country has already arrived in the early morning of September 10 At the end of the Net Finals, it is almost dawn in China, plus a dozen hours of New York flying to Beijing. From this calculation, it is impossible for players participating in the US Open finals to go to China to participate in the China Open competition the next day. .
If Zhang Guan participates in the US Open and reaches the final, he will inevitably miss the China Open held last day. Between the US Open and the Chinese Open, of course, the US Open, which is one of the Grand Slams, is more important, and now there is only one US Open champion left in Zhang Guan to win the Grand Slam. The tennis center also needs to ensure that Zhang Guanshuai participates first US Open.
However, the Chinese Open is equally important. The Chinese Open needs a local player who can win the championship. The broadcaster needs Zhang Guan to appear on the field. The sponsors more bluntly stated that as long as Zhang Guan participates in the Chinese Open, the sponsorship fee can be increased.
In order to allow Zhang Guan to participate, the Tennis Center even applied to the World Tennis Federation to postpone the time of the Chinese Open, but the International Tennis Federation did not agree, on the grounds that the tournament plan was determined as early as the end of last year, so it cannot be changed.
"This group of foreigners is really rigid! It's just postponing the game for a day or two." Director Liu's face was anxious: "If Zhang Guan enters the US Open final, would he really want him to give up the Chinese Open?" No, Zhang Guan must be involved in the China Open. It seems that he has to think of some other methods."
Director Liu closed his eyes. After a while, he suddenly thought of an idea. He took the file box about China Net and carefully looked at the relevant information.
"There is a way! Zhang Guan will definitely be the No. 1 seed as long as he enters the competition. At that time, Zhang Guan will arrange a wild card player for the first round to ensure that Zhang Guan will smoothly advance to the second round. If Zhang Guan has the time to come back, then Let him play, if he can't catch up, he can let the wild card player abstain!" Director Liu nodded with satisfaction, obviously satisfied with his arrangement.
The foreign card quota is basically reserved for local players. This year's China Open, the national tennis team has two wild cards in the men's singles. If Zhang Guan plays against the foreign card player in the first round, it is actually against the country. For tennis players, this equals Zhang Zhang's promotion to the second round. Even if Zhang Guan could not come back from the United States in a hurry, the wild card player could still abstain and Zhang Guan could still enter the second round. It's just that this wild card player must be sacrificed.
For domestic male tennis players, it is not easy to be able to participate in the Chinese Open game, especially for wild card players, it is likely that they will only have such a chance in their lifetime. But in order to protect Zhang Guan, he can only make sacrifices!
Thinking of this, Director Liu sighed in a loss.
"In order to win the crown, only one wild card can be sacrificed. However, this sacrifice will never be wasted. This sacrifice can earn people's attention to tennis and the development of our tennis. It is worth it, I believe. One day, we will have more and more tennis players standing on the world stage!" (To be continued.)
