Focus on tennis events and pay attention to the performance of Chinese players.
On September 22, Beijing time, it is definitely a historic moment worth remembering for the Chinese men's tennis team.
ATP 250 Chengdu Station, with the 19-year-old Shang Juncheng losing straight sets to the No. 2 seed and Asian "first brother" Bublik, the Chinese men's tennis has eight semi-final tickets for the two tournaments in the Chinese season, and has already locked a final place in advance.
For the first time in history, three Chinese men's players reached the semi-finals on the tour, which is worth celebrating.
Below, let's take a brief look at the results of the trio wins.
(1), 22-year-old Buyun Chaoket started the "first cannon" of the Chinese men's tennis and took the lead in the top four
Buyun Chaokert, who participated in the tournament with a wild card, played a wonderful tennis game in Hangzhou.
In the last round against the tournament's No.2 seed and former Paris Masters champion Kacharov, Buyun won in three sets to cause a big upset and advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament for the first time.
In the quarter-finals against Kazakhstan veteran Kukushkin, Buyunchaokt had a clear advantage and won 6-4/6-2.
In terms of technical statistics after the game, Buyun Chaoket led his opponent in terms of the number of aces, the scoring rate of one and two serves, and the victory was well deserved.
Buyun Chaokert, who advanced to the semifinals of the tour for the first time, will compete with Zhang Zhizhen, the "first brother" of the Chinese men's tennis, for a ticket to the final.
(2) China's "first brother" overcame the injury trouble, and Fudi won again and successfully staged the Chinese derby
Like Buyun Chaokert, Zhang Zhizhen shook off his poor form in the first round against Italy's Bellucci and played one of the sharpest games of the season against the Chinese brother, who was getting better.
Especially from the second half of the first set, he once won 9 games in a row, not only winning in straight sets but also giving away a big victory.
This match with Spain's Baena is definitely a test for Zhang Zhizhen.
As a result, the match was not as anxious as expected, and Zhang Zhizhen won a complete 6-3, 6-3 victory.
Especially in the second set, although Zhang Zhizhen took the lead in breaking serve, his physical condition was once worrying, and the request for a medical timeout made the home audience sweat.
Fortunately, after some checking, there was no big problem, and Zhang Zhizhen, who returned to the court, firmly held on to his advantage and finally won, meeting compatriot Buyun Chaoket in the semifinals and securing a place in the final for the Chinese men's tennis team in advance.
(3), 19-year-old Shang Juncheng exploded the Asian "first brother" and advanced to the semifinals of Chengdu Station
Compared with Zhang Zhizhen and Buyun Chaoket, Shang Juncheng's opponent is the most powerful, and the opponent is not only the No. 2 seed in this competition, but also the "first brother" of Asian tennis, and his comprehensive strength is very strong.
In the face of such a master, Shang Juncheng played very calmly, and even withstood the opponent's 18 aces from the whole court, and also saved a handicap crisis in the second set tie-break, and finally successfully won the game on his fourth match point, becoming the third Chinese men's tennis player to advance to the semifinals that night.
Congratulations again to the three winning Chinese players, Buyun Chaoket, Zhang Zhizhen and Shang Juncheng, who have teamed up to make the Chinese men's tennis team achieve such a comprehensive blossoming result for the first time, which is worth celebrating.
Let's stay tuned to see who can achieve their first individual tour title.
