Zhang Shuai won! In the final of the WTA 250 class Lyon Open, she achieved a big comeback in the dilemma of losing 3-6 in the first set and falling behind 2-4 in the decider, and won her third WTA singles title of her career. However, this third crown came so hard, the physical decline brought about by the 33-year-old age, the number of opponents, the audience cheering, the referee's misjudgment all came - she seemed to have defeated the world and herself.
1, the fifth game of the week, the 33-year-old is already very tired.
Zhang Shuai's physical fitness is superior among Chinese players, but after all, he is 33 years old and plays 5 consecutive games in a week, which is still quite tired. In the first set, Zhang Shuai's pace was a little heavy, resulting in him being passive all the time, losing the game 3-6. After the start of the decider, she was more like she came to the limit of her physical strength, and soon fell behind 2-4, but fortunately, through a different kind of venting, she survived this difficult period and completed the reversal.
2. The audience supported the opponent as always, and Zhang Shuai returned the angry finger.
In the semi-finals, the audience sidedly supported Zhang Shuai's opponent, but the opponent was Garcia in France at the time, so it did not make people feel particularly angry. But in this final, the opponent is Ukrainian, and the audience still only cheers for the opponent and cheers at Zhang Shuai, which is too impolite. However, this move actually stimulated Zhang Shuai's fighting spirit, and after Zhang Shuai returned the audience's angry finger in the decider, he won 4 consecutive sets and took away the game.
3, the opponent's field is too full, fortunately Zhang Shuai has not been greatly affected.
The opponent in the final, Jastremska, has a very average performance, but there are many scenes on the court, and in unfavorable situations, he often interferes with the rhythm of his opponents through various small actions. In the face of Zhang Shuai's counterattack, she also dedicated a lot of drama, including untying and re-tying the shoelaces, sitting on the advertising board "innocently and stupidly", and sending impatient expressions. Fortunately, Zhang Shuai has been in the battlefield for a long time, has not been interfered with too much, and after winning the difficult victory, let the opponent completely black face when awarding the award.
4. The referee's misjudgment appeared on Zhang Shuai, causing Zhang Shuai's mood to be bad for a while.
The referee's overall penalty in this game was not much of a problem, but there was also a more controversial penalty in the first set, and Zhang Shuai was the one who was damaged in the misjudgment. In the second set, Zhang Shuai expressed dissatisfaction with a penalty from the referee, although she saved the serve, but her face was not good, and it could be seen that her emotions were somewhat affected.
Fortunately, Zhang Shuai overcame all the unfavorable factors and bravely won the championship! Congratulations to Shuai Zhang! After winning the championship, her instant world ranking jumped 23 places to 41st, and the instant championship ranking was even higher than 21st.
