Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Thursday, January 27, 2022, welcome to listen to the news noonday news provided by Tennis House.
Beijing time last night, the 2022 Australian Open ended two quarterfinals in the second half of the men's singles. The Greek star Tsitsipas, who came first, was in a surprisingly good state, with a fierce front-back attack, no break point in the whole game, and fell straight to Italian rising star Sina in three sets of 6-3, 6-4, 6-2, and easily advanced to the final four.
In the final eight of the night games, Russian star Medvedev was blocked by Canadian rising star Aliassim, losing the first two sets 6-7 (4)/3-6 respectively. In the third and fourth sets, the two were still glued, neither of them ended the battle in the first 10 sets, and Mei always dared to shoot at the key points, pulling two sets in a row 7-6 (2)/7-5, and once saved the match point in the fourth set, dragging the game into the decider.
In the decider, Mei Zong further improved his form, took the lead in breaking the hand, and maintained this advantage until the end of the set, and finally achieved a super reversal of 6-7 (4)/3-6/7-6(2)/7-5/6-4, reaching the final four for the second consecutive year, and the whole game took 4 hours and 42 minutes. So far, the four seats in this year's Australian Open men's singles semifinals have their own. In the top half, Nadal vs. Berrettini; in the bottom half, Medvedev vs Tsitsipas.
In the women's singles, Polish rising star Swatayk, who played in the second game of the day, stubbornly counterattacked after losing the first set 4-6, 7-6 (2)/6-3 in two consecutive sets, reversing Estonian veteran Kanepi and advancing to the australian open final four for the first time in his career. In the semifinals, she will play against American Collins, who advanced earlier.
In a mixed doubles semi-final on the same day, no. 2 seed Zhang Shuai/Pierce wasted a good set in hand, grabbed all ten in the decider, and finally reversed by Mladenovic/Dodig 6-1, 5-7, 2-10, missing the final.
At 8:00 a.m. Beijing time this morning, the eleventh matchday of the Australian Open began. The women's doubles semifinals will be played first, and the two semi-finals of the women's singles will also be played today. The opening match was played by world number one Barty against American Case, and the kick-off time was around 4:30 p.m. Beijing time. The second semi-final, played around 6:00 p.m., was played by Polish rising star Swatek against American Collins.
In the men's field, since the two semi-finals of the men's singles are scheduled to be held on Friday, there is only a men's doubles match today. Among them, the match between Australian local players Kokinakis and Kyrgios has attracted much attention. The duo will face the multinational duo of Granoles/Zebalos at around 12:00 p.m. Beijing time for a final spot.
Let's focus on Nadal again. After narrowly defeating Canadian rising star Shapovalov in the first quarter-final five sets, Nadal's coach Moya revealed in an interview that Nadal, who had suffered from heat stroke at the time, was once very difficult, and he gritted his teeth to create a miracle in the fifth set. After the game, Nadal's weight plummeted by four kilograms, which was caused by severe dehydration. Moya also firmly stated that the number of Nadal Grand Slam titles will not be frozen at 20, and he and the team will continue to work hard.
Finally, let's guess and recognize. The image below shows a player who hides his face with his hands after winning. Can you recognize who she is?
In the last issue of guessing, many golfers gave the correct answer. That's right, the person in the picture is the Romanian star Halep. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Maverick)
