Zhang Shuai advanced to the semifinals of Wimbledon women's doubles, which will hit the third grand slam of doubles.
Zhang Shuai advanced to the semifinals of Wimbledon women's doubles, which will hit the third Grand Slam 1. To celebrate the 0/00th anniversary of the Central Stadium, even without ATP points, this year's Wimbledon is still in Starlight Glimmer, and many former Wimbledon champions, including Swiss king roger federer, gathered together. In men's singles, Nadal reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon for the eighth time in his career, and reached the quarterfinals of Grand Slam for the 47th time, one step closer to his 23rd Grand Slam.
Zhang Shuai, the leader of China Women's Tennis Team, not only became the only remaining player in China, but also partnered with Martens, who now ranks first in the doubles world, and broke into the semi-finals of Wimbledon women's doubles for the first time, achieving "all eight" in four Grand Slam women's doubles and hitting the third Grand Slam. Wimbledon, a magical grassland, witnessed the legend of the old times and the "enthronement" of new kings from generation to generation.
Sharpen a gun in the cold, and play the championship with a normal heart.
In this Wimbledon, 33-year-old Zhang Shuai made an all-round attack, and made some gains in women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. Although the women's singles missed 16 and the mixed doubles suffered a second round tour, China's "First Sister" set a new record that the women's singles entered the top 32 at least twice, and the women's doubles also made a historic breakthrough.
In the four Grand Slams, Zhang Shuai played the most stable role in the women's doubles in the US Open, reaching the quarterfinals twice with 20 12 and 20 17, and reaching the quarterfinals with 20 18. Last year, Zhang Shuai and Australian star Stosur won the final victory, thus winning the Grand Slam women's doubles title for the second time after the 20 19 Australian Open. On the clay court of Roland Galos, Zhang Shuai also reached the quarterfinals of women's doubles on 20 19.
However, in the previous ten years, China's "First Sister" failed to make a breakthrough, and her best score was 20 1 1 third round. This time, Martens, a 26-year-old Belgian girl ranked first in the world, won the Australian Open, the US Open and Wimbledon women's doubles. As the number one seed, they joined hands to enter the Wimbledon quarter-finals, as if people expected that they would be crowned Grand Slam again.
It is not difficult to find that in this year's grass season, Zhang Shuai shines brilliantly in the doubles arena, which can be described as the pinnacle. In two consecutive WTA250 competitions, she reached the finals with different partners. In Birmingham, Zhang Shuai's partner is mertens. As the last Wimbledon champion, she partnered with Zhang Shuai, both of whom are looking forward to winning the Grand Slam trophy again.
After defeating 15 seed Chimuke and Auraru, Zhang Shuai said easily, "It's quite normal. Since we cooperated, this is basically the score. Our own serve is relatively smooth, and then one set can break one or two opponents' serve, which is relatively smooth as a whole. "She admits that Martens and I are both singles players after all, and the details still need polishing.
"I have hardly practiced doubles techniques and tactics, so it seems that it may not be as tactical as those players who focus on doubles, and it is regarded as' grinding guns in the cold'." Regarding the expectation of the champion, Zhang Shuai said that he should treat it with a normal heart and take every step at present. "I think I still pay attention to the present, step by step, and I haven't thought about the Australian Open and the US Open before, so it's still relatively calm now, that is, I do what I should do every day."
Joker personality, doubles pairing is a hot commodity.
As the only China Golden Flower in Wimbledon, Zhang Shuai is characterized by comprehensive technology and stable performance. What is more commendable is that at the age of 30, she has excellent physical strength and can take care of women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles at the same time. Zhang Shuai felt that he was in good health, confident and tolerant, so he was "versatile". "I also go to a person, two people I also go to, next to the men and women I will do. I am more' wild'. " Not only that, but not picking the right position is also an important prerequisite for Zhang Shuai to be "versatile".
"They asked me if I was standing on the left or right, in 1 zone or zone 2, in forehand or backhand position. I said I would do it. It's up to you anyway. Whichever end you choose, I will stand at the other end. Maybe my sides are even, because I have played singles since I was a child. When I practice, there are as many forehand slashes as backhand slashes. How long is the forehand straight and how long is the backhand straight. "
From the age of 17, Zhang Shuai not only accumulated rich competition experience, but also established sincere friendship with the players. She is very popular. Since this year's hard court season, she has played doubles with her new partner in almost every game. Many players say that they especially like playing doubles with Zhang Shuai. Zhang Shuai is sincerely happy for his good popularity. She said that she was very happy to make so many good friends in the tennis circle, which was another gain besides her tennis skills.
"At different times, I have friends at different times when I grow up. I played together as a teenager, but most of them are probably retired now. And ITF, they played together at the beginning of their careers. Players who grew up together in China, Japan and South Korea have played in the United States for a long time and made some American friends. They can also speak Chinese. "
Zhang Shuai's promotion to the semifinals of Wimbledon women's doubles will hit the third Grand Slam, and Zhang Shuai is one step closer to her third Grand Slam women's doubles champion. On the day of Wimbledon 10, which ended in the early morning of July 7th, Beijing time, she and Belgian star Meltens defeated No.7 seed Gulac/Klepac in straight sets and successfully reached the semi-finals.
In this game, Zhang Shuai and mertens played well and quickly took a 4-0 lead. Gulax/Klepac won his first serve in the fifth game. Although they also made a comeback in the eighth inning, it didn't help to win or lose the first set.

When he led 4-3 in the second set, he once left for treatment. Nadal's opponent is Kegos in the semi-final. The latter is the only unseeded player who has reached the semifinals of Wimbledon since 2008.
