The U.S. Open enters its final sprint.
In the singles field, the men's and women's singles final four seats have been settled, and they are preparing for a new round of preparations for their respective roads to the top.
This year's US Open, a total of 9 Chinese players went to Flushing to compete, and after passing the qualification round screening, plus the players who directly locked the main seat, it reached 7. Among them, there are 2 men's singles and 5 women's singles.
What makes domestic fans even happier is that Chinese players have created a new record in this US Open, with 5 players reaching the top 32 together, the highest grand slam achievement in Chinese tennis.
However, due to the strength problem, all Chinese players have finished their US Open trip, and they either return to China to rest or arrange their own activities.
According to the latest news, Zheng Qinwen, a 19-year-old star of hope in China, donated 100,000 yuan to the China Children and Teenagers Foundation on September 7 to purchase food, clothing and other daily necessities for children and families in the sichuan disaster area.
Zheng Qinwen's generosity has been unanimously praised by many netizens.
As we all know, tennis is a very popular sport on a global scale.
Mature market mechanism can bring good bonus returns to excellent players.
But before the results are achieved, it is also recognized as a "money-burning" sport, even if a player has tennis talent, it still needs a lot of capital investment to maintain various expenses: training, equipment, coaches, teams, etc., each link must first "spend money".
The player's current self-financing model must have achievements to be able to have bonuses or endorsement fees to maintain the needs of the game.
There was once a statistic that a player's world ranking is only guaranteed to be within at least the top 250 to achieve profitability.
Many players are struggling to pursue their tennis dreams in a state of not being able to make ends meet.
For example, Xiaohua Yuan Yue, who reached the top 32 in the US Open, because of the low world ranking and even no clothing sponsors, her costumes for the US Open competition were provided by teammate Wang Qiang.
As a 19-year-old Zheng Qinwen, although she has achieved brilliant results in all four Grand Slams this season, this is only her first year in the adult season.
In terms of time, this year is a year in which Zheng Qinwen's world ranking has greatly improved, and it is also a year in which she has begun to really get more competition prize money.
For Xiao Zheng, who has been learning to play tennis since he was 6 years old, the investment spent on tennis training for more than ten years is already a big number.
It's really rare to be able to dedicate your love in the first season of the adult competition.
In addition, many netizens mentioned that Zheng Qinwen, who broke into the top 32 in the US Open, can get up to 1.28 million yuan in game prize money, and donating 100,000 yuan is not high.
Here, I need to explain that although the US Open has a generous competition reward, the athletes actually get their hands on it, far from reaching this figure: once the taxes and team expenses are thrown away, it is good to have half left.
And all this is Xiao Zheng in the arena to do their best to get, can not forget the original heart, with goodwill, should be praised.
One more point has to be mentioned.
As early as 2020, Zheng Qinwen, who was less than 17 years old at the time, donated 10,000 yuan to the Shiyan Charity Federation to fight against YQ.
And this ten thousand yuan is the prize money she received when she participated in the Wuhan Tennis Qualifier in 2019. At that time, Zheng Qinwen's total career bonus was only about 13,000 US dollars.
Since then, Zheng Qinwen has had a love to give back to the society, and now, with her more stable and outstanding grades, she can have the ability to provide more help to the people in need.
Such a kind act of kindness, compared with other athletes, as soon as they get a high prize money, begin to waste extravagantly, and even spend a lot of money to buy various game equipment.
Of course, all acts of charity must be voluntary by the player, no one can morally kidnap, and the bonus that the player obtains through hard work has the right to dispose of himself.
Thank you again for the generosity of Zheng Qinwen and wish the future of tennis, the prospects are getting brighter and brighter.
