Almighty Athlete Chapter 4: Zhang Guan entry
The pace of the Australian Open this year is getting closer and closer, and the Australian Open qualifying round is coming to an end. With the 16 places in the qualifying round officially confirmed, the Australian Open Organizing Committee announced the men’s current Australian Open List of all 128 contestants in the group.
There are many familiar names on the list, such as No. 1 seed Federer, No. 2 seed Nadal, No. 3 seed Davydenko, No. 4 seed Ljubicic, etc. These are all veteran players and have long been The audience is familiar; there are also some young people who have just emerged in recent years, such as No. 14 seed Djokovic and No. 15 seed Murray, both of whom are less than 2o years old, but have become the world's top rankings Twenty players, so it is also very concerned.
Other players with higher rankings in the world will more or less attract the attention of many media and audiences. As for players with lower rankings in the world, qualifiers and wild card players, there are not many People care about them. Apart from professional tennis players, ordinary spectators don't know them at all, and they haven't even heard of their names.
But in this year's list announced by the Australian Open sponsors, there is a name Zhang Guan that is familiar to viewers all over the world!
The list of Australian Open players is announced, and the king of track and field Zhang Guan is in the list!
This news is like a bomb, instantly detonating the focus of media attention, especially the fastest-reacting online media, and related news was published immediately.
There are official screenshots of the Australian Open Organizing Committee on the news, showing that Zhang Guan appears in the 128-person list. At first, some people thought it was ps, but after entering the official website of the Australian Open, they confirmed that it was Really.
Next, a piece of commentary appeared on the Internet.
Zhang Guan appears on the list of Australian Open players, transformation? Play tickets? Organizer Oolong? Or is it advertising marketing?
This article was written by a senior journalist in the tennis world. He proposed various possibilities. In this article, he wrote this way:
"Zhang Guan wants to transform into playing tennis? This possibility should be ruled out first, from one sport to another. The difficulty can be imagined, not to mention that tennis is an athlete. Sports with comprehensive abilities, physical fitness, skills, talent, experience, and psychology, can't achieve results without seven or eight years of practice. This is completely different from the special sports like track and field. So the possibility of Zhang Guan transforming into tennis is zero."
"Playing tickets? The possibility is not too high. There are always some athletes who will enter other fields because of the freshness, but if you just play tickets, Zhang Guan does not need to go to the Australian Open Grand Slam stage at all. , I think Zhang Guan only needs to play two games with his grand slam girlfriend. It is enough to satisfy his freshness in tennis! Let me say here, maybe Zhang Guan really can’t beat Sharapova, everyone don’t think this is a joke There are few male players who can beat Sharapova in this world."
"When I first saw this news, I thought it was the Oolong sponsored by the Australian Open sponsor, but now it has been more than two hours since the announcement of the Australian Open entry list. The list has not been replaced, it seems that this is not An oolong!"
"The author believes that this is just an advertisement marketing, so Zhang Guan fans may be disappointed. I am afraid he will not really appear on the Australian Open!"
For reporters, the only information they can have is the list of participants announced by the Australian Open Organizing Committee, so now they can only "boldly guess", but the answer will be revealed in a few hours. The regular news conference of the Net Organizing Committee will be held in the afternoon.
There are always some players who withdraw from the Grand Slam tournament every year for various reasons, so after the list of players is announced, a routine news conference is essential, and the Australian Open Organizing Committee also needs the media and the public to explain Instructions.
Today's news conference was particularly lively, and the scene was packed with reporters. Obviously, all came to Zhang Guan.
Tai Li, the chairman of the Australian Open Organizing Committee, looked at the reporter squeezed like canned sardines below, and then looked at the various recording devices piled up in front of the speaker like a hill.
"The news that Zhang Guan participated in the Australian Open was really gimmicky. It attracted so many reporters at once. Tomorrow this news will surely be the headline of sports all over the world! It looks like this wild card is worth it." Terry thought with relief.
At this time, the spokesperson of the Australian Open also introduced the relevant situation and reached the reporter's question.
"Is Zhang Guan really going to participate in this year's Australian Open?" The first reporter asked a question that everyone is most concerned with.
The speaker immediately said: "Yes. Zhang Guan is sure to participate in this year's Australian Open."
There was a sudden commotion among the group of journalists below.
However, after a brief commotion, the second reporter stood up and asked, "Zhang Guan is a track and field athlete. Is he eligible to participate in the tennis Grand Slam?"
"Zhang Guan is participating with a foreign card. It complies with the rules of the tournament. Another thing I want to correct is that Zhang Guan is not just a track and field athlete, he is also a professional tennis player, he has a professional tennis federation (aTp) Certificate of professional tennis players. So our organizing committee believes that there is nothing wrong with a professional tennis federation holding a wild card to participate in the Australian Open." The speaker smiled.
Another reporter asked: "As far as I know, at the end of last month, Zhang Guan was suspended, so is it a violation of the rules to participate in the Australian Open."
"No no no~IndoMTL.com~ no violation at all!" Yan Yan shook his head, and then said: "The suspension of Zhang Guan is related to the management of track and field, and Zhang Guan is now participating in the tennis competition, I think The relevant agencies that manage the track and field should not have the right to interfere with a tennis player participating in the tennis match!"
The press conference continued, and no one noticed that a reporter was talking on the phone in the corner.
"Chris Guccioni, is that men's doubles player? He wants to break the news? What? The original right to participate in this wild card game originally belonged to Guccioni? Was the Zhang Guan wild card bought for money?" The reporter felt that he had caught a big fish, and he then asked: "Does that Guccioni have evidence? There is no evidence, just speculation out of thin air"
I heard that it was just speculation out of thin air. The reporter sighed in disappointment. After thinking carefully, he said, "Well, I will go to this Guccioni for an interview, but I will do it in advance. Declare that no matter what he said is true or false, I will not bear any legal responsibility." (To be continued.)
ps: The fourth one is sent to me for the next monthly ticket and recommended ticket. Fifth, I also wrote a half, trying to get up at nine.
