Almighty Athlete Chapter 5: Declaration to win the championship

"Zhang Guan grabbed the foreign card quota that should belong to me! This year should be the same as in previous years. There are three foreign card quotas in the men's singles program for Australian local players, but in the end, Australian players only got two of them. , Another one was given to Zhang Guan!"

“I don’t know what method Zhang Guan used to get the wild card quota, but I’m pretty sure that it’s not fair! Zhang Guan is a track and field athlete, he has not participated in any professional tennis match before, there is no The game record, there is not a little ATP points, maybe he will not even serve, he is completely a layman, what qualifications do he have to obtain a grand slam wild card? It is a waste to give him a foreign card quota!"

"ATP professional tennis player’s certificate? Didn’t you check where the certificate came from? It’s just a prize for a charity event! It’s impossible to prove that he is a professional tennis player!"

"The sponsor foreign card is compliant, I certainly know! If this sponsor foreign card is issued to a professional tennis player, I have nothing to say, but now this foreign card is actually issued to a layman, This is absolutely unacceptable to me. [] Yes, I don’t have a top sponsor, but I am a tennis player. I love tennis. I started to practice tennis when I was a kid, and I practiced around the clock. Ken’s efforts will pay off! But I did not expect that this time I lost to the sponsor! The sponsor’s foreign card? In my opinion, there is no difference from spending money on buying a foreign card!"

This interview by Chris Guccione appeared on a media in Melbourne on the second day. With Zhang Guan participating in the spring breeze of the Australian Open, this report was quickly heated up. Guccione completely Putting himself in the position of a weak man has also won the sympathy of many people. At the same time, Guccioni's status as an Australian native player has also given him a lot of extra points.

A local radio station in Melbourne also conducted a street survey and asked some people's views on the matter.

"I think Guccione said it makes sense. It is really unfair to give an Australian Open wild card quota to a track and field athlete!" said one interviewee.

"Zhang Guan is indeed a big-name player, but he is not a tennis player after all! The sponsor can get the wild card at the expense of it? I am really surprised! I sympathize with Guccioni and I also dislike the Australian Open Organizing Committee Such behavior will be." Another interviewee said.

"Zhang Guan? What else is he going to run faster? I don’t even know he can play tennis! I think he will be eliminated in the first round!" This interviewee is obviously not optimistic Zhang Guan.

"That Chinese man robbed our Australian players! God! Is this the Australian Open? Tell me the day of the Zhang Guan game, yes, I’m going to watch his game, I will The boos he gave to the audience! I want to see how he was eliminated!" The interviewee was very excited and obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Guan.

At the same time, some sports commentators in Australia also spoke:

"The current Australian Open is no longer worthy of being a Grand Slam tournament. This tournament is full of rotten money. An athlete who has never participated in a professional tennis game because he has the best in the world The reputation and first-class sponsors can get the Australian Open qualification, which is an insult to this event! Zhang Guan appeared on the Australian Open, it may really be able to attract more viewers to watch the Australian Open The game may really improve the ratings of the TV broadcast, but this effect is probably only one game! I think Zhang Guan will be swept out in the first round! He can’t win a set, maybe he can win a game, it’s already Thank God! Dear spectators, you are about to see a game counted in history, a game counted as a joke in history!"

......

On the training ground, Michael Joyce waved his hands helplessly, and said to Sharapova not far away, "Masha, it looks like I will live up to your expectations this time! I have never I have seen a perfect tennis player such as Zhang Guan. From a technical point of view, serving, receiving, forehand, backhand, front ball, volley ball, high-pressure ball, and pace movement, he is very good at it and can't find any at all. Weaknesses! There is also the handling of the ball, even the king Sampras is so! Seriously, I have nothing to teach him. You are bluntly said, he was born for tennis!"

Michael Joyce is Sharapova’s current coach, as well as a sparring, private doctor, and psychotherapist. It can be said that she is a full-time nanny of Sharapova. Once a professional player, she became a professional player. A tennis coach is also Sharapova’s biggest contributor to the 2006 US Open championship and the 2008 Australian Open championship.

Zhang Guan is about to participate in this Australian Open race, but he does not have his own coach. So Sharapova asked Joyce. By the way, as a coach of Zhang Guan, Joyce also readily agreed.

Coach Joyce originally thought that teaching a newcomer should not be very difficult, but in a few days, Coach Joyce found that he really has nothing to guide Zhang Guan, physical fitness, technology, experience, Zhang Guan showed Everything is perfect.

Sharapova shrugged helplessly. Zhang Guan's performance also exceeded her expectations. She even felt that Zhang Guan might win this year's Australian Open champion!

"I can't watch Zhang Guan practice anymore! The blow is too big! People used to say that I was a genius tennis girl, but compared to Zhang Guan, I seem to be stupid and don't even count the scum!" Sarabo The baby pouted unwillingly and said to Joyce: "Then we will be here today! Would you like to eat together?"

Joyce shook his head and refused very consciously: "Forget it, I will not be a light bulb between you! Oh, yes, there seem to be a lot of reporters outside today, all directed at Zhang Guan Yes, pay attention when you leave!"

......

When Zhang Guan and Sharapova walked out of the training center~IndoMTL.com~ did see a large group of reporters, and the reporter also saw them and immediately gathered up.

"Zhang Guan, Chris Guccione said you robbed his wild card quota, what do you think of this?" a reporter asked.

Zhang Guan is clearly prepared early, he said: "Competitive sports, of course, players with higher strength should get the chance to play, my strength is much higher than Guccioni, so I got this wild card is For granted!"

"But you have never played a professional tennis game!" a reporter said.

"So you don't know how strong I am!" Zhang Guan said immediately.

"You seem to be very confident in your strength, but now everyone thinks that you will be swept out of the game in the first round!" a reporter said sarcastically.

"'Think' doesn't mean'fact', doesn't it?" Zhang Guan replied and then said: "I only have one goal for the Australian Open this time, that is the Australian Open champion! I must also Can win this Australian Open champion!" (To be continued.)
