In the fourth round of the Australian Open, Koone withstood a strong counterattack from Romanian star Halep and finally managed to advance to the quarterfinals in her 63rd Grand Slam regular tournament trip. After the victory, the French sister couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry with joy, after which she and the host Dockerc joined forces to contribute the most touching and inspirational interview of the Australian Open, starting with a hug and ending with a hug.
"I know what this game means to you and that's why I'm going to hug you first. In 2009, you played the fourth round here, which was 13 years ago, and I was waiting for the outcome of this game because you or Safina would be my opponent in the quarterfinals. You got several match points and I know what that means to you. ”
The 19-year-old Wasted by Safina with two match points in his hand, "I wanted to play against you at that time, but I couldn't do it, it was really painful. Now, 13 years later, I'm still here, and you're still here. ”
Today she fought hard in the heat, beating former tournament runners-up Halep. After the game, she admitted that she began to be exhausted after 30 minutes of the game, her vision was blurred and she couldn't see the ball clearly, and her hands were shaking, but she knew that the fighters on the other side were also experiencing all this with her, so the 32-year-old French veteran gritted his teeth and carried it hard, and laughed to the end.
"Try again, it's never too late. That's why I keep playing tennis. It is for this moment that I can share all my emotions with all of you on the field. The journey continues and I still can't believe it. ”
On Saturday's birthday, Coney had already received cheesecake, a bouquet of flowers and a victory in the third round of the tournament, but there was no better gift than reaching the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam.
At the 2005 French Open, at the age of 15, Conet made his first Grand Slam appearance and reached the second round, losing to Maurice Mo. At that time, the French Little Lily had the aura of a talented girl, but unfortunately it was tepid later, and it was always "Card Eight" in the Grand Slam arena, and the most impressive thing before that was to defeat Serena Williams three times in a year and hold 6 WTA Tour championships in his career.
She played in the Australian Open for the 17th time and the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam for the sixth time, and finally won the ticket to the quarterfinals, and is the first French player to reach the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 13 years after Bartoli in 2009.
Her experience is reminiscent of Zhang Shuai, who in 2016 not only broke the spell of 14 Grand Slam matches, but also drove straight into the australian open women's singles quarterfinals. The "nobles" they met were all kind and atmospheric Halep.
A reporter for the "Team Newspaper" who had been following her commented on the then 23-year-old Kone, "Her most important weapon is her mental strength." From the age of 10, she dreamed of being the number one in the world, and she believed she could do it, but she knew how to balance herself. ”
Corne likes to speak out, and the year before Barty benefited from the principle of epidemic point protection to win the year-end world number one, even if she hung up the free card after the restart of the season. At that time, Koone dared to question on social platforms, but I believe that Barty's strong and steady performance last year should make Koone convinced now.
When djokovic, the world number one in the men's singles world, was deported twice by the cancellation of his visa, it was also Kony who expressed solidarity on social platforms: "I know very little about this matter so I can't judge the situation, I know that Djokovic is always the first to stand up for the players, and none of us stand up for him, to be strong." 」 "
After experiencing the ups and downs of her career, now the French Lily is finally in full bloom at Melbourne Park, wishing her good luck in the quarter-finals.
Yesterday we also witnessed the 115th-ranked Kanepi xiake reverse the world's second place in the top ten, adding the last piece of the Australian Open puzzle, and the 36-year-old Estonian veteran also joined the four Grand Slam all-eight clubs, and this achievement was achieved by the star-studded great players such as Big Wei. Both she and Corner brilliantly explain the meaning of the dreamer's efforts to persevere.
Old and strong, do not fall into the ambition of the clouds, those who have the ambition to achieve things.
