#奥运观赛团#
On July 17, Beijing time, 9 days before the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, 5 Chinese tennis players participated in the Olympic singles competition, men's singles Miao Zhang Zhizhen, women's singles Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xinyu, Yuan Yue, and Wang Xiyu participated. In China, tennis has its independence, in most of the events entered the training camp early, some have even rushed to Paris, Chinese tennis players are still in the arena Nuggets, training is their main theme.
At the end of Wimbledon, Alcaraz, a post-00 generation, won the fourth Grand Slam title of his career, but the overall performance of Chinese players was unsatisfactory, and only one advanced to the round of 16. In terms of numbers, as many as 11 people competed at Wimbledon, ranking second among all countries behind United States. There is thickness but no height, and the first echelon lacks competitiveness above the semifinals, which is also the status quo of Chinese tennis. However, in the past two years, Chinese tennis led by Zheng Qinwen is writing a new era, and in the future, there may be a figure who surpasses Li Na! Moreover, the men's singles ushered in the best time, and Zhang Zhizhen's every step forward is refreshing history.
So far in the 2024 season, as many as 7 Chinese tennis players have won more than $500,000, 14 have won more than $100,000, and 20 have earned more than $50,000, which has increased significantly compared with last year.
Zheng Qinwen was the first with 1.88 million US dollars, equivalent to about 13 million yuan
Today, at the WTA 250 Palermo station, the defending champion and top seed Zheng Qinwen defeated the local star Errani 6-3 6-2, defeated the opponent in this station for the second consecutive year, advanced to the round of 16, scored 30 points, and won 3,512 euros, and immediately dropped one place to 8th (the defending champion was deducted points).
$1.88 million is only as of the end of Wimbledon (the same below), of which the Australian Open runner-up prize money accounts for the majority, but in the French Open, Wimbledon performance is average, how to maintain a more stable performance, is where Zheng Qinwen needs to continue to improve after 00.
Zhang Zhizhen is 1.11 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 8 million yuan
Zhang Zhizhen's advance to the round of 32 at the Australian Open is the best result of a Grand Slam, and he also reached the quarterfinals of 1000 in Rome, the semifinals of 500 in Halle, and the quarterfinals of 250 in Marseille. Regardless of the Grand Slam, he is the best Chinese player on the tour.
Yesterday, ATP 500 Hamburg, men's singles first round, No. 8 seed and Chinese player Zhang Zhizhen fell in straight sets, 7-6 (6), 6-0 against Brazil's Wilder, won the opener, scored 50 points, and won 27,670 euros, and immediately rose two places to No. 32, continuing his career as the best ranking in the history of Chinese tennis men's singles. It was Zhang's 19th win of the season, which has surpassed the tally of last season's wins. The second round will be against Koboli. Previous meetings were 1-1 (Zhang Zhizhen won 2-1 in the 2021 Clay Challenger, and Koboli avenged 2-0 in the 2022 Fiorentina 250 qualifier).
In the post-match interview, Zhang Zhizhen said, "Sometimes, I played the first set tightly, and today it was the same, the opponent played well in the first set, and in the second set, I found his problem and seized the opportunity." I didn't pay attention to this number, but I'm glad I reached it. Last year was my first year on the tour, and this year I'm a little bit more relaxed than last year and hopefully get more wins. ”

Yuan Yue 610,000
Yuan Yue suffered a round of all three Grand Slams this season, but won the first championship of her career tour at the Austin 250, but unfortunately her fate with the "interim coach" did not last long, and now she is fighting alone again and entering the dilemma of repeated defeats! This also reflects that Chinese tennis has fewer good coaches than good players.
Zhu Lin 540,000
Zhu Lin's best result of the season was runner-up in Hua Hin 250, but a win on clay was hard to come by, which was the key to her world ranking being overtaken by Wang Xiyu and missing out on the Paris Olympics, after all, the Olympics are also clay battles.
