Zhang Shuai sent eggs to sweep the junior champion of the new Australian Open, netizens: Sister Shuai ignited the passion of watching the game on May Day

I thought that the tour without the presence of Chinese players would reduce everyone's enthusiasm for watching the game during the May Day period, but the 36-year-old Chinese veteran Zhang Shuai stepped forward and made the applause sound again!

When I saw Wang Xinyu, Zheng Qinwen and Buyun Chaoket collectively encounter a round of tours in Made, and Wang Xiyu and Zhu Lin also folded in low-level events in advance, many people bluntly said that this May Day holiday, the tennis world will have less Chinese elements, which will make the applause a lot less, but I didn't expect Zhang Shuai to make everyone change from sad to happy.

Although Zhang's ranking prevents her from appearing in the main event of the tour, it is still possible to appear in a lower-level event like the Gifu 100K in Japan.

At first, the outside world did not pay much attention to Zhang Shuai, and in the words of one netizen, he was afraid that the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Originally, the Chinese players suffered a collective annihilation in the singles arena in Madrid, which has hurt everyone's weak hearts, and if they suffer another serious blow, "they may really be injured out of the psychological shadow." ”

The Gifu 100K is not a high level, but there is no shortage of masters. For example, the Japanese girl Sonobe Hachion is a very headache rival.

Although the Japanese girl is only 17 years old this year, she is very powerful.

Many Chinese fans and netizens are familiar with the reason why Sonobe Hachika is not only because the Japanese girl won the singles championship in the junior category at this year's Australian Open, but also because of her encounter with Yuan Yue at this year's Abu Dhabi 500.

At that time, before the start of this focus battle, almost everyone thought that it would be difficult for Yuan Yue to shake Yuan Yue, and bluntly said that with Xiao Yueyue's competition experience and overall strength, he would teach the 17-year-old Japanese girl a lesson without suspense.

But when the game between the two ended, it was not Yuan Yasan who was taught a lesson in the end, but Yuan Yue.

Although the Japanese girl is not as experienced as Yuan Yue, she has given Yuan Yue a round of tours with her changeable playing style and adventurous spirit of daring to fight at critical moments.

After the game, Yuan Yue also praised the eight pieces of the garden department, and bluntly said that if she can continue to play like this, the future is limitless.

It's just that Zhang Shuai and the eight pieces of the garden are in the same half area! Putting aside everything else, it's just that the fist is afraid of being less strong, which makes people not worry about the 36-year-old Chinese veteran.

It was thought that Zhang Shuai would play off in the quarterfinals against Sonobe Hachiko, and given the recent struggles of Chinese veterans in the singles arena, there was a high probability that he would not be able to escape the fate of defeat.

Unexpectedly, after Sonobe Hachiko took such a 3-2 lead in the first set, the trend of the game not only did not make Zhang Shuai the focus of everyone's concern, but the Chinese veteran suddenly broke out and won the first set in four games in a row.

Before the start of the second set of the competition, there were people in the live broadcast room who bluntly said that this set would be the beginning of the counterattack of the new junior Australian Open women's singles champion, and it was very likely to change the final trend of the game, and everyone was very worried about whether the physical fitness of the 36-year-old veteran Zhang Shuai could withstand the next fierce confrontation, so as to give the garden department a chance to turn the tables.

The reason why many people speculate that Zhang Shuai may encounter trouble and challenges next is related to the fact that Sonobe Hachiko just won a 100K championship last week. Just imagine, a Japanese girl whose confidence and morale are at the highest point are suddenly beaten like this in the first set by a 36-year-old tennis veteran, and she will definitely not be able to get over her face, and it is inevitable to launch a strong counterattack.

What must be praised for Zhang Shuai is that before Sonobe Hachiko recovered from the emotions of the crisp defeat in the first set, Zhang Shuai took the lead at the beginning of the second set and tightly suppressed the Japanese girl.

After completely taking the initiative of the game into his own hands, Zhang Shuai directly turned the second set into a personal exhibition match, and finally locked up the victory of the whole match by sending eggs and advanced to the Gifu 100K semi-finals.

"Sister Shuai won too domineering, I didn't expect to beat Japan's potential new star to the point where she was powerless." While lamenting that Jiang is still old and spicy, many people also praised Zhang Shuai's performance in the game against the Eight Concerts of the Garden, and bluntly said that they thought that Chinese tennis might be very dull during this year's May Day holiday, but they didn't expect Zhang Shuai to re-ignite everyone's passion for watching the game.

Seeing the 36-year-old Zhang Shuai play such a strong performance against the new Australian Open junior women's singles champion in Gifu, some people boldly predicted that it seems that the second 100K singles championship of the new season of Chinese tennis is coming, "Just make a pair with Yuan Yue's 100K champion, and come to a double happiness." ”

With this victory over Sonobe Hachiko, Zhang Shuai's instant world ranking has moved from the original 164th to the 151st, and is infinitely close to the TOP100!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
