Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Sunday, July 10, 2022, welcome to listen to the news noon news provided by Tennis House.
Beijing time last night, the 2022 Wimbledon Tennis Championships ended the women's singles championship battle. The No. 17 seed, Kazakh Lebakina, came behind, and 3-6 6-2 6-2 reversed the No. 3 seed, Tunisian sister Jabbar, and held up the rose dew water tray. It was the first Grand Slam singles title of a Kazakh girl's career and the first time a player from Asia had won a singles title at Wimbledon. The 23-year-old also became the youngest Wimbledon women's singles champion since Czech crofter Kvitova in 2011. Congratulations to Elena!
After the game, the Kazakh said it was all unbelievable. "I didn't know what to say, I was nervous before and during the game and I never felt that way. I want to thank all of you for your support, it's all incredible. To be honest, I didn't expect to make it to my second week before, and now I'm a Grand Slam champion, which is really incredible. ”
Born in Moscow, the capital of Russia, Lebakina was Russian until the age of 19. In 2018, in order to obtain better training conditions, she chose to become a Kazakh citizen and represent Kazakhstan. However, she and her parents still live in Moscow. Since Wimbledon banned players from Russia and Belarus this year, at the post-match press conference, some media reporters grabbed Lebakina's special Russian identity and repeatedly asked her to make her position on the Russo-Ukrainian war. With no intention of getting involved in politics, Lebakina chose to avoid answering. It can be seen that she has a premonition about such questions and has made some preparations.
Nevertheless, in the context of the all-British grass club ban of Russian and Belarusian players, a player born in Russia, raised in Moscow, and still living in Moscow, stood on the women's singles championship podium, which undoubtedly has a strong irony.
After seeing Lebakina win the championship, many Chinese fans did not forget to ridicule: our Chinese Zheng Qinwen has become the second time to become the honorary runner-up of the Grand Slam! In the fourth round of this year's French Open, the young player Zheng Qinwen fought with the world number one and Polish star Svatek in three sets, and finally lost due to physical discomfort during the menstrual period, and the winning Svatek finally became the French Open champion. And Zheng Qinwen was the only one to snatch a set from the French Open champion.
Coming to the third round of Wimbledon, Zheng Qinwen and Laibakina met, the two fiercely fought in two sets, the plate saw seven, Xiao Zheng lost 6-7 5-7, and the winning Laibakina finally became the champion. Zheng Qinwen grabbed 11 sets, which also became one of the two matches with the most losses at Lebakina's Wimbledon this year. From this point of view, the view of Zheng Qinwen as the runner-up of the Grand Slam honor is not entirely a joke, indicating that the Chinese young general is indeed extraordinary. I hope that Xiao Zheng will continue to work hard and achieve success in the Grand Slam arena as soon as possible!
In the men's doubles final, this year's Australian Open runner-up, Australian duo Ebden / Pussell 7-6 (5) 6-7 (3) 4-6 6-4 7-6 (2) narrowly defeated the defending champion, Croatian duo Pavic / Mektic, lifted the championship trophy for the first time.
Today, Wimbledon enters its closing day. The men's singles showdown will kick off around 9pm Beijing time, with defending champion Djokovic facing Australian Kyrgios. Before the match, Kyrgios posted on social platforms to show his overtures to Djokovic. "Are we friends now?" Djokovic received it and retweeted it and responded, "If you invite me for a drink or dinner, then I will say yes." But tomorrow's winners will be entertained! Kyrgios quickly replied: "One word is enough, let's go to the nightclub together, and get drunk!" Who is going to pay for this dinner?
Finally, let's guess and recognize. The picture below shows a player sitting in a chair contemplating while falling behind. Hide his eyes, can you recognize who he is?
Guess last time, the golfer gave the correct answer. That's right, the person in the picture is The Australian Kyrgios, who is about to play in the Wimbledon men's singles final.
