At 20:30 on the evening of October 10, the (ATP1000 level) Shanghai Tennis Masters staged a wonderful battle of the quarterfinals, by China's brother Zhang Zhizhen challenged Poland's Hurkacz to compete for a place in the top 8, and Zhang Zhizhen lost 1:2 to his opponent and missed the top 8, of which the first and third sets were played to tie seven to determine the winner, and Zhang Zhizhen lost to Hurkacz in the round of 16 in two sets, and the score of 3 sets was 6:7, 6:4, 6:7!
It's a pity, it can only be said that the opponent is experienced, the serve is too strong, and Zhang Zhizhen is just a little bit of bad luck, although he failed to win, but Zhang Zhizhen's performance has been recognized by the fans, and the fans have also praised Zhang Zhizhen, in the face of a strong opponent, Zhang Zhizhen did not fall behind, no timidity, which allows us to see the hope and progress of Chinese men's tennis, we have reason to believe that Chinese men's tennis will be better and stronger, let's look forward to it together
It's a pity to lose today, in fact, there are still some opportunities in the process of the game, but I didn't grasp it, the first set hit to grab seven, Zhang Zhizhen started to lead 2:0, and then Zhang Zhizhen made consecutive mistakes to send points, so that Hurkacz scored 4 consecutive points to lead 4:2, and after Zhang Zhizhen's serve scored, it was Hurkacz's two serve points, fortunately, the two made a mistake each, the score came to 4:5 Zhang Zhizhen behind, it was Zhang Zhizhen's turn, and the result was another mistake, Hurkaz 6:4 has already got two sets, Although Zhang Zhizhen saved two sets, there was a mistake in the third set of his opponent, and he directly lost the set 6:8, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Zhizhen himself sent this set, and Zhang Zhizhen sent 7 points out of the 8 points obtained by the opponent
In the second set, Zhang Zhizhen served first, came up to break the 3:0 lead, Ben Zilai thought that this game was stable, but was returned by Hurkacz a 3:0, the two tied again, the game came to the seventh game, Zhang Zhizhen did not receive an impact, or strong serve stabilized the situation, and then broke the opponent's serve 5:3 to his own serve to win the set, but was still broken by the opponent, fortunately Hurkacz also failed to save his serve later, Zhang Zhizhen won a set 6:4, The big score was tied at 1:1
When the match came to the final, neither side had a chance to break serve, and Zhang Zhizhen called a medical timeout when he led 4-3, and the timeout was to massage his waist, but the timeout did not affect anything, it should be no big deal
In the end, the game was dragged to grab seven to determine the final victory, this set to tie seven, Hurkacz performed very well, and did not make mistakes in the process, and Zhang Zhizhen made the first mistake at 3:4, was seized by Hurkacz and broke one of Zhang Zhizhen's serves to lead 5:4, came to Hurkacz's two serve points, as long as he kept these two serve points, he could win the game, and finally Hurkacz took the game away through two strong serves,
And Zhang Zhizhen stopped in the round of 16 at the same time, but also has no chance to further create the history of Chinese men's tennis, but we have also seen Zhang Zhizhen's progress, now no matter what level of opponent the opponent, Zhang Zhizhen has the possibility of a fight, not anyone can casually take the game from his hands, even if he loses, he can pull off a layer of skin from the opponent, and finally cheer for ZZZ, although he lost, we still like you, well, next time win him back, we believe you can do it
