Two days ago, I wrote a piece of "A Little Light in the Darkness, He Led the Chinese Men's Network to the World", and many people read it. Some readers mentioned the names of Zhang Xuan and Wu Yiyu in the message, today, this article lets the author tell you the story of Zhang Xuan, I hope that friends who read can like more and more points in watching. In the future, I will definitely write more and better articles to give back to everyone.
To say that in the Grand Slam arena, who helped the Chinese men's tennis take the first step into the main competition, that person must be Wu Di. But when it comes to making historical breakthroughs in the Tour, world rankings, and Grand Slams, that person is undoubtedly Zhang Xuan.
On August 6, 2012, Zhang Xuan's world ranking came to 173. With this ranking, he broke the record that Pan Bing held for 17 years. This year, he participated in the French Open and Wimbledon qualifying tournaments, and won both, although in the end they failed to qualify, but these victories undoubtedly brought a great degree of improvement to Zhang Xuan's confidence.
In October, the China Open opened, and Zhang Xuan, who played with a wild card, eliminated Wu Di in a Chinese German competition and successfully reached the second round. In the second round, he defeated france's No. 5 seed and France's Gasquet in three sets to advance to the quarterfinals. This is the best result achieved by Chinese mainland male players in the China Open since the Open. At present, this record is still unbroken.
In 2012 and 2013, in the Australian Open Asian region wild card battle, Zhang Xuan was twice eliminated by Wu Di. Zhang Xuan, who was in pain, polished himself through more hard training. At the 2014 Australian Open qualifiers, Zhang Xuan broke through three consecutive levels and successfully won the main event. On the men's list of the 2014 Australian Open, the names of Zhang Xuan and Wu Di appeared at the same time, and the names of two Chinese appeared, which was the first time that two players of the Chinese men's tennis team in the Open era had entered the Grand Slam main tournament.
After the 2014 Australian Open was hung by Wu Di after losing three sets in a row, Zhang Xuan once gave hope to many tennis fans. He took the lead in the first set against Vodasco. This is the first time in a Grand Slam where The Chinese men's tennis players have led 1-0 in the match.
However, in the next three sets, Vodasco adapted to Zhang Xuan's rhythm of the game, frequently launched counterattacks, and finally won three consecutive sets. Zhang Xuan, on the other hand, could only wave goodbye to the Australian Open.
In 2015, in the competition for the Australian Open Asia-Pacific Wild Card Tournament, in the case of Wu Di's early exit, Zhang Xuan passed the hurdle and finally won this wild card and won the 2015 Australian Open regular tournament. At the same time, he also qualified for the men's doubles with his partner, which was the first time that Chinese mainland player appeared in the men's doubles of a Grand Slam.
At the 2015 Australian Open, facing Grand Slam champion Hewitt, Zhang Xuan stubbornly equalized the score after losing a set first. However, he then lost 9 consecutive sets, although at the end of the fourth set, Zhang Xuan tenaciously resolved four match points, and in the end he regrettably lost and stopped in the first round.
Although he stopped in the first round of the men's singles, in the first round of mixed doubles, Zhang Xuan and his partner won the victory after a fierce battle of ten grabs. This is the first victory won by Chinese mainland male players in the Grand Slam main tournament in the open era, and Zhang Xuan created the history of the Chinese men's tennis.
In October of that year, still in Beijing, or in the Chinese Open, back to the Chinese Open arena, which had broken into the quarterfinals, Zhang Xuan defeated Istomin in the first round to reach the second round. In the second round, he met Djokovic, one of the Big Three. This is the first time that the Chinese men's tennis team has had a player challenge the world's first. Whatever the outcome, the scene is worth looking forward to.
Luck can take care of you for a while, but what can really make you successful depends on strength. In this game, Zhang Xuan lost early and regrettably went out. However, the author believes that Zhang Xuan has not failed, and the Chinese men's network has not failed. If there are more opportunities to pass with the masters, then the future of the Chinese men's tennis will certainly be promising.
In 2017, after Wu Di, Zhang Xuan won the San Francisco Challenge, which was the highest level championship won by a Chinese men's tennis player at that time. At the 2019 Australian Open, he and his partner Lectra cross-country duo Krizan/Matkowski reached the second round for the first time, which was the first victory of the Chinese men's doubles grand slam in the Open era.
Today' Zhang Xuan has gradually aged, but he has made history for the Chinese men's tennis team in the tour and grand slams. China Men's Network will not forget this name, and his name will be engraved in the annals of The History of China Men's Net in the future.
Faltering, but never giving up. Although the road ahead is a little difficult, it is still full of hope, this is our Chinese men's net. Here, allow me to cheer him on behalf of all tennis enthusiasts, encourage him, and cheer him on. I believe that in the days to come, the Chinese men's network will be able to create its own glory.
