At the age of 19, he is ranked 70th in the world! Shang Juncheng is looking forward to the next Olympics: he just wants to fight for his country without points and bonuses

The United States Open, the last Grand Slam tournament of the year, is about to kick off, and on August 26, Beijing time, 19-year-old Chinese rising star Shang Juncheng also talked about participating in the Olympic Games in an interview, saying that even if there are no points and bonuses, he is very much looking forward to representing the country in the next Olympics.

"It's a shame for me to miss out on Paris, but I'm already looking forward to the next Olympics in Los Angeles because it's a hard court event and I'm really looking forward to competing and fulfilling my dream of competing in the Olympics for the first time," said the Chinese men's tennis hopeful. Shang Juncheng also said emotionally: "Although there are no points and no bonuses in the Olympic Games, I just want to play purely for the country, and the national flag is printed on my clothes, and I am very eager for that experience." ”

In the just-concluded Paris Olympics, Chinese tennis made a huge breakthrough, and Zheng Qinwen helped Chinese tennis win the Olympic singles gold medal for the first time in the history of tennis. The provisional duo of Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu miraculously won silver in China's first competition in the mixed doubles. The outstanding performance of Zheng Qinwen, Zhang Zhizhen, Wang Xinyu and other brothers and sisters naturally made the young Shang Juncheng motivate himself and work harder to improve, so that he could qualify for the Olympic Games men's singles in 4 years.

Shang Juncheng, born in 2005, is the hope for the future of Chinese men's tennis. As the beloved son of Shang Yi, a famous national security guest, Shang Juncheng inherited his father's excellent athletic talent. At the 2023 Australian Open, Shang Juncheng helped the Chinese men's tennis team win the first Australian Open men's singles main draw victory since the Open era. At this year's Australian Open, he made a historic round of 32. In the previous Wimbledon, Shang Juncheng also helped the Chinese men's tennis team win the first historic victory. Although he is only 19 years old, Shang Juncheng's latest world ranking has reached 70th. In the first round of the upcoming US Open, Shang Juncheng will face Kazakhstan's 25th star Bublik at 11 p.m. on the 26th. Despite the strength of the opponent, we still expect small businesses to continue to surprise the Chinese people in the middle of the night.
