What's going on? In the mixed interview area after Zheng Qinwen's victory, the runner-up Vekic and the "Queen of Clay" Swiatek both refused to be interviewed by Chinese media!
This scene was witnessed by CCTV host Shao Shengyi, which was amazing. You know, on the tennis court, this is quite a rare situation! As losers, it's understandable that Vekic and Swiatek will be in a bad mood, but it's not so bad that they won't even take the interview, right? What's more, they are deliberately targeting the Chinese media! It's not easy......
Let's start with Wikich.
As the runner-up of this tournament, Vekic should have been interviewed as a Grand Slam runner-up and enjoyed his own moment of glory. But she avoided the Chinese media, she simply said goodbye to her face and left without saying anything.
This noble shelf is really "noble and cold"! With this attitude, where is it like a runner-up, but like a "princess" who can't afford to lose. If you lose the game, you lose, and you are embarrassed, this is too unsportsmanlike, right?
Then look at the "Queen of Clay" Swiatek, who lost to Zheng Qinwen in the semi-finals and finished third.
This Grand Slam champion looks like he is on top of his face when he is interviewed on weekdays, and he ignores Chinese players. Now that he has been defeated by Zheng Qinwen, it is estimated that he is disgraced, and even the Chinese media disdain to deal with it. Isn't it just a loss, as for holding a grudge like this? doesn't know how to admit defeat at all, and I'm really ashamed of her fans.
In fact, Chinese tennis is rising rapidly, and Zheng Qinwen's victory is the best proof of this.
In the international arena, Chinese players are no longer a little transparent to accompany the runner, but a strong man who really has the strength to compete for the championship. However, in the face of China's rising power, some foreign players have shown obvious discomfort and even hostility. The national chauvinist sentiment that cannot afford to lose and is not accustomed to China's rise is secretly surging.
At the end of the day, sports are all about fairness and respect.
Winning or losing is a common thing in soldiers, and if you lose, you must accept defeat, which is the basic requirement of sportsmanship. But Vikic and Swiatek "pretended to be stupid" and avoided the Chinese media, isn't it that they can't afford to lose, what is it? After an interview, they put up a noble and glamorous shelf, making it clear that they looked down on China. Where is this sportsmanship? It is clearly ethnic discrimination!
As public figures, Vekic and Swiatek should play an exemplary role and take practical actions to promote sports exchanges between China and foreign countries and promote people-to-people bonds. However, instead of fulfilling their responsibilities, they have shown unfriendly feelings toward China and smeared their own country and nation. No wonder netizens complained that they were "the princess was sick" and "the cold shelf of the queen of red soil......
It seems that this refusal to interview China is not only a sports issue, but also reflects a deeper national contradiction. On the one hand, China's power is constantly rising on the international stage, and on the other hand, some people in the West are deeply prejudiced against China and feel uncomfortable and unconvinced by the growth of China's strength. The sportsmanship of "respect" and "tolerance" has become an empty slogan for them.
But I believe that any anachronistic antagonism will eventually collapse in the course of history. The future of Chinese sports must be brilliant in equality, mutual trust and win-win. The so-called prejudice and discrimination are just a flash in the pan, and they cannot stop China's progress at all. Although we are neither humble nor arrogant, we face it calmly, but we also have to give those villains a resounding slap in the face for their troublemaking behavior!
So in the end, the editor would like to ask: For the runners-up and runners-up who refuse to take Chinese media so much, do you have a good impression of them in your heart that instantly reached the freezing point? Don't think that you can win a few games occasionally on the field to be noble and cold, your eyes are above the top, and you can't tolerate any prejudice and arrogance in the face of national righteousness! In the face of the strong rise of Chinese tennis, it is time for them to reflect. What do you think?
