Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans, today is Sunday, March 6, 2022. Tune in to the news afternoon report provided by Tennis House.
Beijing time last night, from foreign media news, Swiss king Federer recently revealed in an interview with the media that he is unlikely to catch up with this year's Wimbledon tennis open, and his return to the court may not wait until after August. "There's definitely going to be a time when [the comeback] comes in late summer and early autumn, and my goal is to get back on the field during that time."
In the interview, Fei Tianwang revealed that his recovery was good. "Rehabilitation is mainly divided into three steps, the first is the recovery process, I need to get back on my feet, then learn to walk, and finally the strength exercise of the body as a whole. Now I'm at a stage where I can start thinking about a comeback. A few weeks ago, I had an MRI and the results were very good. Despite being stranded for months from the pitch with a knee injury, Federer is confident about coming back. If all goes well in training, he is expected to participate in the U.S. Open, which starts at the end of August. At that time, Fei Tianwang will turn 41 years old.
Let's take another look at the event news. Last night Beijing time, the North American "Sunshine Doubles" officially confirmed that the Australian bad boy Kyrgios issued the ATP1000 Indian Wells Masters and Miami Masters singles wild cards. Due to long absences from the Tour and the poor performance of a few few entries, Kyrgios has fallen to 130 places in the world rankings. Bad boys who don't care about playing qualifying can only compete with wild cards for now. If he can't seize the opportunity to get decent results as soon as possible, I am afraid that in the future, it will be difficult for the tournament organizing committee to issue him wild cards.
Let's follow the Davis Cup team game again. In a Davis Cup World Group qualifier that ended last night beijing time, the South Korean team led by the new star Kwon Junyu played well, beating The Austrian team led by Novak 3-1 to qualify for the Davis Cup final for the first time.
Let's turn our eyes back to the field. Beijing time last night, WTA250 Lyon station began the singles semifinals. Chinese veteran Zhang Shuai, who made the debut, played well, beating France's Garcia 6-2 7-5 to advance to the WTA Tour singles final for the fifth time in his career. In another semi-final, Ukrainian rising star Jastremska narrowly defeated Romanian Kostia 7-6 (5) 4-6 6-4 to compete with Zhang Shuai for the final title.
WTA250 Monterrey Station, in a quarter-final battle yesterday afternoon Beijing time, China's wang Qiang lost 6-7 (4) 4-6 to defending champion and Canadian rising star Fernandez, missing the final four.
In the first semi-final play this morning, Colombian youngster Serrano played well, beating Espanyol Diaz 6-4 with two to advance to the final first. Canada's rising star Fernandez and Brazilian Maya's second semi-final, as of press time, have not yet been won or lost. In the first set, Fernandez won 6-1.
In the women's doubles, the cross-border combination of Chinese players Han Xinyun and Xizikova is in hot form, winning two 6-3 victories over Piter/Ka-Bondalenko to advance to the final and will compete with the American combination Harrison/Santa Maria for the championship trophy.
Finally, let's guess and recognize. The picture below is of a player wiping sweat during a game break. Without prompting, can you recognize who he is?
Guess in the last issue, some golfers gave the correct answer. That's right, the person in the picture is the famous Greek Tsitsipas. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Maverick)
