Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Monday, January 10, 2022, welcome to listen to the news afternoon report provided by Tennis House.
At about 7 o'clock this morning Beijing time, the local court in Australia held a second hearing on the case of the world's first and Serbian king Djokovic was denied entry to Australia and his visa was cancelled. Because the local court announced in advance that the hearing would be broadcast live to the public, a large number of fans flocked to the site, resulting in a collapse of the web server of the live broadcast website, and many fans could not enter the live broadcast room.
Judging from the information currently circulating, in court, Djokovic and the Australian federal government's legal team have cross-examined the focus of the dispute between the two sides. After more than four hours of debate and trial, the court adjourned. Beijing time continued this afternoon, if all goes well, it is expected to have a final result around 14-15 o'clock.
Let's look at the news of the ATP Cup tennis team match. Beijing time last night, the ATP Cup ended the championship battle.

Among them, Shapovalov 6-4/6-3 Busta; Aliassim 7-6(3)/6-3 Agut. With three singles wins in the ATP Cup, 21-year-old Aliassim will move up to 9th in this week's world table.

It was Nadal's 19th consecutive season since 2004 to win at least one Tour singles title, topping the men's player list.
After the game, Nadal did not forget to encourage the runner-up American Cressy, believing that his serve and net play would eventually make a difference. The 24-year-old Cracy also said that he would inherit the retro style of playing on the internet and carry it forward.
