Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Wednesday, February 2, 2022. Tune in to the news afternoon report provided by Tennis House.
After winning the second Australian Open title, achieving a double grand slam and the 21st grand slam title of his career, Spain's god of war Nadal and his team left Australia last night to fly back to Spain. After a period of rest, Nadal will discuss the next schedule with the team.
According to the latest news, Nadal has a general principle for the annual schedule, that is, the number of entries will not be less than in the past two years. However, which event to participate in depends on the physical condition at that time. In terms of recent participation plans, Nadal is very much looking forward to playing in the ATP 1000 Indian Wells Masters from March 10 to 20. For the ATP500 Mexico Acapulco station originally scheduled to be held from February 21 to 27, it is necessary to make a final decision depending on the recovery of your body.
Let's turn our eyes back to the field. Last night, Beijing time, this week's three ATP250 matches continued to compete in the first round of singles. At ATP250 Córdoba, Argentine youngster Baas narrowly defeated the returning Spanish veteran Vodasco 7-6, 7-5. Another Argentine rising star, Cerundoro, lost 4-6, 1-6 to Chilean Tabilo. Other winners included Spanish veteran Ramos, nova Baena, Colombian Garland and Argentine Etcheveli.
At the ATP250 Puna station, the Italian Travaglia defeated the Indian Ramanatan 7-6, 4-6, 6-3, and the Finnish one Rusuwori beat the Belarusian Gerasimov 6-0, 7-6. Other winners were Australian Vudic, Swede Imel, Pole Mazarzak and Portuguese Sousa.
ATP250 Montpellier Station. Local veteran Tsonga, who competed with the protection of the rankings, played well, winning his first win of the season with two 6-4 wins over qualifier Juke. Another French veteran, Simon, made his debut by beating compatriot Pouille 7-6, 5-7, 6-4. South Korea's rising star Kwon Pure Rain was in hot form, sweeping Frenchman Gaston 6-2, 6-1 to advance to the second round. Other winners were Frenchman Herbert, Bosnian De Zuch and Serbian Krajinovic.
On the women's side, there is no WTA Tour this week, and several women in China will participate in low-level events organized by the ITF. From the 21st of this month, the two WTA 250 class races will be held in Mexico. Four chinese players were selected for the Women's Singles Tournament in Guadalajara. They are Zheng Saisai, Wang Xinyu, Wang Qiang and Zheng Qinwen. I wish the sisters well.
Finally, let's guess and recognize. The image below shows a player interacting with fans as he leaves the field after losing. Can you recognize who he is?
In the last issue of guessing, there are many golfers who gave the correct answer. That's right, the person in the picture is the Russian star Medvedev who lost to Spain's god of war Nadal in five sets in the Australian Open men's singles final. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Maverick)
