Yesterday, Cornett and Canepi eliminated Halep and Sabalenka to reach the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, creating their best records at the Australian Open, which made me feel like I was in a trance.
Born in 1985, Carnepi moved into the profession in 1999; Cornett was born in 1990 and played in the French Open in 2005 at the age of 15. In this era when the post-00s have emerged, they are already veterans who have been fighting for nearly 20 years.
These two names, which have been marginalized in today's tennis world, have returned to our vision, awakened many of our memories, and made many tennis groups boil. We think of the blossoming era of the WTA more than a decade ago, those classic battles, interesting stories, and special image nicknames; we think of the golden age of the Chinese women's network, they have gone far one by one, and these former opponents are still there, but how long will they persist?
Cornett, every fan who follows women's tennis will be familiar with her name, but doesn't seem to have projected much affection on her. She was silently behind those shining stars for 17 seasons.
Even Cornett has left a feat of three wins over Serena, but looking at her resume, she has only reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam five times in seventeen years, of course, and it has stopped here.
Compared with those familiar superstars, this report card is very good, if you know that Cornett was also a talented girl, she reached the australian open round of 16 in the third year after transferring to the profession, and the world ranking then came to 11. But it all came to an abrupt end, and who would have thought that that would have been almost the crowning moment of her entire career?
When I first entered the tennis world, I also had Ling Yunzhi, and I also had a few flashes of expectation for life, but I slowly accepted my ordinariness in the grinding of reality, which seems to reflect most of our lives.
But the professional tennis world has never lacked the "chicken soup" that is amazing, and Cornett is so sweet and late that he finally got what he wanted. In an interview after winning, she said: "it's never late to try again!" It's never too late to do it again!
I'm happy to make this bowl of chicken soup, but with my years of experience being rubbed underground by life, I want to "jump" to the end of the poisonous chicken soup
Accustomed to the ups and downs of the tennis world, how lucky Is Cornett! She has never been absent from 60 consecutive Grand Slams since the 2007 Australian Open, which also means that she has maintained a relatively healthy and stable state for so many years, and can rely on tennis to maintain a stable life, so that she can still achieve a breakthrough at the end of her career. More players may not be able to survive to the day when their dreams are realized in the face of reality.
Chicken soup and poisonous chicken soup, many people feel that one is positive and one is reversed, how to say it is right. But in fact, this is not a contradiction, chicken soup is encouraging us to exert subjective initiative, poisonous chicken soup is reminding us of the barriers and constraints of the objective world. In the meantime, I prefer to restore the state of mind behind Cornett's ordinary career of more than a decade:
She gradually understood that in this highly competitive professional tennis world, she may have some talent, but there are too many talented people, and she is obviously not the chosen son. But I will also be grateful for my talent and hard work to forge a body of skills, so that I can stand on a flat but stable footing.
Day after day, year after year, it is unlikely that life will fly up the branches at once, but it will not be hysterical to grit your teeth to persevere. Perseverance will produce love, and love will make you willing to insist. You don't have to talk about your dreams all day and become rulers and shackles. Tired also lie down to rest, but don't lie flat, the dream is still to have, that is the light of life, what if it is realized?
Replacing this imaginary her with ourselves is the best state I can think of as an ordinary ordinary person, life.
