At Wimbledon this year, Zhang Zhizhen lost 1-3 to the German cannon Struff and stopped in the second round; Mahachi also lost to Safiulin by the same big score and failed to break into the round of 32. Instead of being distracted by the two-front battle, the only task of the "Amazing Treasure" combination is to try to score as many deep rounds as possible in the doubles to hit the year-end threshold.
In the 1/8 finals of this year's French Open, the "Rare Treasure" combination defeated the Argentine opponent in two sets 6-3 and 7-5.
First set
The two sides played quite simply, that is, the hair-extension, which was already drawn at the bottom line, and there were hardly too many exquisite points played by the front and back courts. In the 4th game, the Argentine combination volleyed out of bounds in the front court, Zhang Zhizhen/Mahach got 2 break opportunities at 40-15, but unfortunately, the opponent suddenly improved his service status and held serve, 2-2;
After the game restarted, the two sides still tacitly guaranteed each other, and they were dragged into a tiebreaker!
Tie-break: 1st point, Zhang Zhizhen volleyed out of bounds in front of the net, suffered a mini break, 0-1; 3rd point, Zhang Zhizhen accidentally fell down in front of the small ball in front of the net, 0-3; In the subsequent game, neither side could find a break opportunity, 4-7, lose a set first!
Second Handicap:
Heavy rain interrupted the game again when the game reached 2-2, and after the game resumed, the two sides fought all the way to 4-4. At the critical moment, the opponent's experience is still richer, and the cooperation is more tacit. In the 10th game, Zhang Zhizhen/Mahach lost their unavoidable serve, lost another set 4-6, and missed the promotion!
In this way, Zhang Zhizhen's all matches at Wimbledon this year are over. The singles, doubles and singles all stopped in the second round, which is hardly an excellent result. But with the first victory in the grass court Grand Slam, Zhang Zhizhen can be regarded as a complete merit.
Next, Zhang Zhizhen's focus will be on the Paris Olympics!
