On social media, many netizens are full of anticipation and discussion about this upcoming match. A netizen wrote on the forum: "Shang Juncheng's opponent Purcell this time is not to be underestimated. However, seeing how well Shang has played in the previous fights, I believe he can find a way to deal with Purcell's challenge. Another netizen commented: "It's a huge test for Shang Juncheng, but I think he's been in very good form lately." The win over Shelton has proven what he's capable of, and now it's up to him to see if he can continue that way. ”
On Twitter, some fans also expressed their opinions. One Twitter user posted: "Shang Juncheng's state is really a surprise, I hope he can continue to maintain it!" Although Purcell is strong, Shang Juncheng's performance is also very stable, and this game is worth looking forward to! Another fan left a message: "I think Shang Juncheng may be upset in this game." He has shown strong mental qualities in his previous matches and may have an unexpected performance against Purcell. ”
Shang Juncheng himself also talked about his views on the upcoming 1/4 finals in a post-match interview. "Purcell is a very strong opponent and I've done a lot of research on his style of play," he said. We'll make adjustments to some of his characteristics in training. It's going to be tough, but I'm going to do my best to play every game. ”
In the next quarter-finals, Shang Juncheng will face No. 8 seed Purcell, and netizens have a heated discussion about Purcell's technical characteristics and style of play.
A netizen analyzed on the tennis forum: "Purcell's serve is very threatening, especially his second serve can often cause a lot of trouble. His serve is fluid and angled, and Shang Juncheng has to deal with it. Purcell's downspin ball, in particular, can make it difficult for opponents to find the right point of impact. ”
Another fan commented on social media: "Pusher's forehand shot is very powerful, and he was able to quickly change the situation with a powerful forehand attack during the match. While his backhand is relatively weak, he often covers up his shortcomings with a strong forehand. Shang Juncheng should pay special attention to Pussell's forehand side, and make good use of his flexible movement and accurate return to control the pace of the game. ”
On Twitter, a veteran fan shared his opinion: "Purcell is very solid defensively, he has a quick foot, and he can quickly adjust his position. His baseline defense and transition ability are strong, which means Shang Juncheng needs to be more patient when attacking and can't be easily slowed down by Purcell's defense. ”
It was also mentioned that "Purcell is also very psychologically strong. His performance in key points is always impressive. In tournaments, he is often able to handle stressful situations calmly. Shang Juncheng must remain calm in the game and not be affected by Purcell's aura and stable performance. ”
ATP 250 Atlanta is a major tournament on the professional tennis circuit, attracting many world-class players. Shang Juncheng, China's rising star, defeated Shelton this time to prove his progress and strength on the international stage. He will face even more challenges in the next races, but this victory has undoubtedly accumulated valuable experience and confidence for him.
