Last year, Shang Juncheng, who broke through from the Australian Open and French Open qualifiers one after another, came to the All England Club for the first time, but suffered a "first-round tour" in the qualifying round, and was reversed 1-2. However, now it seems that Arnaldi, the No. 3 person in the Italian men's tennis team and the world ranking has rushed to 35th in the world, has also exhausted his strength.
Although Garin is only a qualifier, he is the top 8 players in the event in 2022, and his strength should not be underestimated. At ATP 250 Eastbourne this week, Xiao Shang reached the quarterfinals of his first career grass court tournament, and his agile and versatile style of play is more similar to Garin's.
First set:
In the 2nd game, Xiao Shang received a double fault after a straight shot, although it was grass, but Garin still played the game out of the feeling of a hard court, or through the bottom line to score, in the game, although Garin forced a break point, but Xiao Shang Ace resolved, and then a challenge of only one meter of the line was successful, helping him to come back to life, difficult to hold, 1-1;
In the 10th game, the two sides played a super long multi-shot round, and no one had a stronger crushing strength than the opponent. Although Garin did not get a break point, Shang Juncheng spent 5 game points before finally holding serve with the opponent's return error, 4-4.
In the 11th game, Shang Juncheng pressed the line well, 40-15 got 2 break points, although he missed 1, but then, in the face of Garin's shallow ball to wipe the net, Shang Juncheng quickly shot back a beautiful small slash, Garin fell down to save the ball, 6-5, fatal break at the end of the set; In the 12th game, Shang Juncheng's volleys on the two big corners were very decisive, and he lost 4 points in straight to hold serve, 7-5, and took the next set first.
Second set:
As soon as he came up, Shang Juncheng still insisted on his style of playing today, and the two big slashes were fierce and ruthless, not only with large angles, but also with sufficient strength, which made Garin tired on the bottom line, and could not match the fast pace of small business, even broke and broken, and Shang Juncheng got a perfect start of 2-0.
In the 7th game, Xiao Shang got 2 break points again 40-15, but unfortunately, he was pushed back by Garin's tenacious serve, 4-3, Xiao Shang still leads.
In the 10th game, Shang Juncheng did not give his opponent any chance, and easily won his own serve to win the set, 6-4, and won two sets in a row. In this set, Xiao Shang did not let the opponent get any break chance, which was very stable.
Third set:
Driven to the cliff, although Garin strengthened the aggression of the serve and the aggressiveness of the return, a tennis ball smashed the ball directly out of the baffle, which was a bad breath. However, the game is not won by anyone with great strength, as far as this game is concerned, except for the Ace, which is not dominant, we are in an absolute advantage in all other technical statistics.
In the 7th game, Shang Juncheng's volley in front of the net and the opponent's bottom line out of bounds, successively forced out 2 break opportunities, on the second break point, Shang Juncheng's pull-style big slash scheduling once again worked wonders, Garin, who was running back and forth left and right, was tired and panting, returned the ball out of bounds to give a big gift, broke serve, 4-3; In the 8th game, after Shang Juncheng successfully held serve, 5-3, came to the commanding heights of the game!
In the 9th game, Shang Juncheng pressed step by step, 40-30 to get a match point, but unfortunately the opponent volleyed and resolved, 5-4; in the 10th game, Garin once got 5 break points, but Shang Juncheng's good serve continued to save lives, and at the last moment, Shang Juncheng Ace took the match point again, and a straight shot won 6-4 to keep his serve game, advanced to the second round of Wimbledon, and became the first person in Chinese mainland men's tennis!
In the next round, Shang Juncheng's opponent will be the winner between No. 10 seeds Dimitrov (No. 10) and Lajovic (No. 56).
With these two people, small businessmen have not yet fought each other. The head-to-head record against the top 10 is 0 wins and 3 losses:
