On December 15, Beijing time, the International Tennis Federation officially announced that the 16-year-old Shang Juncheng became the first Chinese mainland player to win the ITF International Tennis Federation Junior Men's Singles World Championship.
After becoming the ITF International Tennis Federation Junior Men's Singles World Champion, Shang Said: "I am delighted to end the season with a Junior World No. 1 ranking. 2021 has been a very special year for me, not just the results, but also the growth in the Junior Grand Slam. I learned a lot of valuable things this year. Keep up the good work next year! Opening the junior men's singles world championship list since 1978, it has a name that is familiar to fans such as Lendl, Federer, Roddick, Zverev and so on. It can be said that the first in the world at the end of the youth year, after switching to the professional arena, the success rate is quite high, which also makes fans have a little more expectations for shang juncheng.
Especially considering that Shang Juncheng is only 16 years old now (the deadline for registration for the International Tennis Federation Youth Tournament is 18 years old), and after the 2021 US Open, he has not focused on the youth field, and his year-end world number one is even more full of gold. In fact, before the completion of the business, no player in the Chinese mainland could win the youth year-end world number one honor, whether it was a men's player or a women's player. This also means that Shang Juncheng has become the first tennis youth year-end number one in Chinese mainland. Li Na won the first Grand Slam singles championship trophy in China and even In Asia at the 2011 French Open, and after that decade, Chinese tennis finally ushered in another super genius who made history, and the future is worth looking forward to.
