Focus on tennis events and pay attention to China's golden flowers.
The 2024 season of professional tennis is almost over, and most players are currently on vacation or in winter training.
At the end of the year, various awards emerged one after another.
On December 18, a piece of good news about Zheng Qinwen, the Chinese golden flower, came:
The world-renowned tennis media TENNIS selected the "most patriotic performance of 2024" (most patriotic performance of 2024) this season, and Zheng Qinwen, the first sister of China's golden flower, and Serbian king Djokovic, successfully won this honor with their performance in winning gold at the Paris Olympics.
This is an Olympic year, so it is understandable that the "Most Patriotic Performance Award" is selected from the athletes who have represented their countries at the Paris Olympics and achieved good results.
At the Paris Olympics, Deyo, who participated in the Olympic competition for the fifth time, finally realized his dream of the Golden Slam, and the Serbian day successfully won the championship with two tie-breaks in the final, and won a valuable men's singles gold medal for the Serbian masterpiece;
Deyo, who won the gold medal, was overjoyed and moved, kneeling directly on the court to celebrate the hard-won championship, and after leaving the Paris Olympics, Deyo's Olympic gold medal did not leave his body, and he wore it on his chest many times to show how much he attached importance to this gold medal.
Compared with Deyo's illustrious career, Zheng Qinwen's ability to win the women's singles gold medal is even more magical.
There is no doubt that because of Swiatek's participation, many media before the tournament believed that the women's singles gold medal was the only one for Poland, because Swiatek had won three consecutive championships at Roland Garros and was amazingly dominant.
China's first sister Zheng Qinwen faced the top favorite in the semifinals, and in an almost one-sided situation, she broke a shocking upset against Clay Queen Swiatek, ending a six-game losing streak against the opponent, and at the same time, Swiatek burst into tears on the court, shattering the dream of an Olympic champion, and Zheng Qinwen also played the greatest fight of his career so far.
Zheng Qinwen, who successfully advanced to the final, lived up to expectations and defeated Vekic in the title match, helping the Chinese delegation win the women's singles gold medal for the first time in history.
It can be said that Deyo and Zheng Qinwen deserve this great honor.
The tennis media explained the two winners:
"The Olympics are competitions without points and prize money, and the competitors mainly fight for national pride and honor, and both Zheng Qinwen and Djokovic have shown their strong motivation to fight for their respective countries!"
In the 2024 season, Zheng Qinwen will reach the fifth place in his career at the end of the year, winning the Olympic gold medal, the Australian Open runner-up, the Tokyo and Palermo championships and other important honors.
Previously, Zheng Qinwen has won 3 awards such as "Top 5 Underdog Matches of the Season", "Best Hit of the Season" and "Best Ace of the Season", plus the above awards, this year's Chinese first sister has won 4 international tennis awards in a row, refreshing various records in Chinese tennis.
It is worth mentioning that this is not counting the series of awards won by Zheng Qinwen in China, if all of them are counted, it is not an exaggeration to use the sentence "Winning awards and getting soft hands".
Let's congratulate Zheng Qinwen again on winning the award!
