In the eyes of many fans, the China Tennis Tour (hereinafter referred to as the Central Tour) is really a chicken rib, and it is difficult to mention! However, the Central Tour, which was born in the difficult period of the epidemic, has indeed successfully renewed the life of Chinese tennis, especially Chinese men's tennis in a difficult period of learning. Otherwise, male tennis players have neither an income to make ends meet nor games to learn to improve. I am afraid that I have already switched careers to work or go to school. The Chinese men's network may have been dissolved.
The China Tennis Tour, which has been held for two years, is at the end of next month in Kunming anning and will start a new season for 2022. This year, in addition to the old sub-races such as anning station, there are also newly added sub-races such as Shijiazhuang CTA1000. However, the participants in this year's mid-tour may not be able to have elite soldiers. Athletes with strength and conditions have overcome various difficulties such as epidemic funding from around November 2021, and have gone abroad to participate in international competitions, looking forward to realizing their tennis ambitions in the professional tennis arena!
Some of the athletes who went abroad this time were regulars in the Central Tour and even achieved good results in the Central Tour. We just had the opportunity to borrow the ruler of international competitions to measure the fierce competition of the Central Tour and the quality of the players' performance! Below we can glimpse one or two of them through the results of several athletes competing abroad.
CR Hao has participated in the Central Tour many times, and the best result is the singles and doubles doubles champion of the CTA1000 Anning Station. After China Resources Hao went abroad this year, he has participated in many competitions such as Spain and Thailand. Venue types range from clay to hardfield, with event levels ranging from 25K to a minimum of 15K. Although I tried my best, I still won 0 in the main tournament, and I couldn't get a single point, which was unexpected!
Huang Haoyuan is only 170+ tall, and his strength conditions are not outstanding. However, with a clever mind, flexible and fast steps and the hard work of not giving up, he once won the second place in the 2021 Central Tour Changzhou Station CTA800. Last year, he frequently participated in many competitions abroad, only to win two consecutive rounds of the Sharm El Sheikh tournament in Egypt and score two points. Many other stops can break through from the qualifiers, but it is difficult to win the main game than to climb the sky!
Liu Hanyi of the Shanghai team was very young and carried his luggage alone, and he went through the security check alone to study tennis abroad. His best time on the Tour was last year's final four in Changzhou. He has been participating abroad since the end of last year to the present, playing for four or five months, traveling to various European countries, but only getting two points! Many times even in the qualifying round trip.
I don't mean to blame athletes for their poor performance here, on the contrary, I think they have paid so much energy and expense, overcome the epidemic, jet lag, visas and other difficulties, they should be rewarded! But competitive sports are bloody brutal fights. The Central Tour does survive for Chinese tennis, but this is only a continuation, if players want to live well, they still have to go abroad to improve themselves! Because the confrontation in the Central Tour is limited, the playing style is relatively single. And when it comes to international competitions like Tunisia and Turkey, where wolves look around, athletes and coaches come from different countries and play in a variety of ways. More importantly, the hunger that will starve to death if you don't prey, the wolf nature, which cannot be experienced in the Middle Tour! Finally, I look forward to the day when the Chinese athletes who are still fighting in foreign competitions will finally keep the clouds open and see the moon!
