#Zhang Zhizhen broke into the Wimbledon men's singles match # As soon as the news came out, a stone stirred up thousands of waves, and countless fans asked Wu Yiyu? Zhang Zhizhen and Wu Yifu were once the "twin stars" of china's men's network with high hopes, and now one achievement has made waves, what about the other?
Wu Yiyu, born in 1999 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, is 183cm tall, his father is a boxer, Wu Yiyu inherited good physical fitness and explosive power. Since childhood, he has achieved outstanding results, and was selected for the Zhejiang Provincial Team at the age of 8, and turned into a professional at the end of 2017, and has always been a key player supported by Zhejiang Province.
On September 11, 2017, Wu Yixun won the junior singles and doubles doubles championships at the US Open, and then landed in Shanghai to participate in the "Road to the Rolex Masters" International Tennis Challenge Shanghai Station, taking advantage of the hot hand to win the championship, won the first challenge championship, and successfully won a Shanghai Masters wild card.
In June 2018, 18-year-old Wu Yiyu signed with the internationally renowned brokerage company IMG (Li Na's agency), and the Dutchman Groneveld, the former coach of Sharapova and Ivanovic, officially became Wu Yihao's coach.
Wu Yiyu in the final of the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games
Wu Yiyu's brightest moment was reaching the final of the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta. The 18-year-old Wu Yiyu reached the final for the first time in the Asian Games and won a silver medal, which was the second time the Chinese men's tennis team entered the final of the Asian Games after 24 years. As soon as the news came out, the major media rushed to report, and then Wu Yiyu basically got the wild card for all the high-level events of the Chinese season, although he failed to pass the first round in the China Open and the Chengdu Open, but defeated the veteran Li Zhe at the ATP1000 Shanghai Masters to win the first open tournament and the only open victory.
After that, Wu Yiyu's competitive status began to decline due to frequent competitions and the accumulation of injuries. In January 2019, Wu Yiyu and groneveld, a coach who had worked with him for more than 8 months, announced their breakup. Groenveld's phrase "he has the right to find a coach who is more in line with his mother" seems to smell the source of contradictions, and there is a lot of controversy on the Internet.
In September 2019, Wu Yiyu announced on his social media that he had completed surgery on his right elbow
After being injured in the first round of the Zhangjiagang Challenge in March 2019, Wu Yiyu basically faded from everyone's vision. After that, he has been following the new coach Lu Yanxun to make cultivation adjustments in China.
In September 2019, he had to undergo minimally invasive surgery due to a right elbow injury that severely affected the shot. He also posted Murray's bed photos on his social media. After that, a long recovery period was entered.
In more than a year, I have experienced injuries, coaching storms, public opinion pressure, and many troubles for teenagers to change careers.
2020 CTA Rizhao Station Wu Yiyu played in doubles
In September 2020, Wu Yiyu returned from injury at the domestic event CTA1000 Changsha Wangcheng Station, a year and a half after he last participated in the competition. Although it is a domestic event, but Wu Yihao's strength is still unexpected, a wave of 23 consecutive wins, the top players in the domestic ranking have won again, including Zhang Zhizhen, Wu Di, Zhang Xuan, Li Zhe, China Resources Hao, but everyone you feel that the name is a little familiar are in the list, won the championship of all the participating events, and also won a doubles championship with Wu Di, interpreting the return of a wave of kings.
At present, the comeback Wu Yiyu's forehand power has increased unabated, the serve has improved, the batting rhythm is still fast, the aggression is stronger, and other players in China should be said not to be in the same order of magnitude.
Coach Wu Yixun - Lu Yanxun
Born in 1983 in Taipei, China, Lu Yanxun achieved outstanding results as a teenager and bore similarities with Wu Yixun. What is even more coincidental is that Wu Yiyu won the first challenge championship in his career, and the opponent in the final was Lu Yanxun. In May 2004, the under-21-year-old Lu Yanxun ranked in the top 100, the first Chinese to rank in the top 100. His highest ranking reached N0.33 in 2010, with a personal best of the Wimbledon Quarterfinals. Lo Yan-hoon has had many experiences in senior events in his career, including two of the most famous upset battles.
(1) Once, at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, after a bitter battle, Lu Yanxun, who was ranked 76th at the time, beat and defeated and at least British brother Andy Murray, who ranked 6th in the ATP, which was also the first victory of the Chinese in the Olympic men's singles field.
(2) Another time is that in 2010 Wimbledon, Lu Yanxun, ranked 82nd, won the long game to win 3:2 to eliminate the last Wimbledon runner-up Roddick, becoming the only dark horse in the Wimbledon top 8 that year.
2021 Miami Masters Lu Yanxun 0:2 Medvedev
The 38-year-old Lu Yanxun has not yet retired, announced the use of ranking protection after withdrawing from the French Open due to shoulder injury in 2018, did not participate in the whole year of 2019, and returned from Wimbledon in 2020, the first round was out; after the outbreak of the epidemic, he could not participate, he used ranking protection again, this year, mainly participated in high-level events, has participated in the Australian Open, Miami Masters, French Open, ATP500 London, Wimbledon. This year's #Wimbledon first round against qualifier Polmans, tonight at 21:00, at Court 15, interested can take a look.
It is clear that he is using his ranking protection to compete in more high-level events before retiring, so that the ranking can play the most role, which is also a reasonable use of the rules. One of the reasons why Lu Yanxun has delayed retiring from the army may be that he wants to represent Chinese Taipei in the Olympic Games. It is estimated that after the end of the Olympic Games or the lapse of ranking protection, he should officially retire.
Looking at Lu Yanxun's entire career, his results have been stable all year round, 70-80 people have hovered up and down, and he can stand firm at the tour level, which is a typical "middle student" in the class. So, his strategy is different: through various challenges, he always ranks in the top 100. As a result, he has 29 Challenge singles titles and is known as the "King of Challenges".
In fact, Lu Yanxun also shoulders the expectations of Taiwanese tennis, and in Taiwan, Lu Yanxun's three words are basically equivalent to tennis. As an Asian, he has gained a firm foothold in the more advantageous projects in Europe and the United States for many years, quite a taste of going into the tiger's den alone, many things are experimental or self-made, and his understanding of the tennis world and the understanding of the rules should be deeply understood.
Wu Yiyu - under the arena
Wu Yiyu has a maturity that is inconsistent with his age, and from time to time he shares videos of himself playing basketball, chasing stars, and bare arms training on his social media, and is also a bit childish, and loves to listen to songs and sing. I remember singing at the Chengdu Open and this year's Rizhao Station Competition, and I was a loyal fan of Jay Chou. He's also a basketball fan and loves Kobe.
At the end of 2020, the CTA Finals Wu Yifu was 2:0 Zhang Zhizhen
Wu Yiyu is very talkative, sometimes self-black, and speaks more directly. In May this year, at the CTA800 Rizhao station, there were two interviews, very interesting, to share.
1, because before the Internet exposed his small belly photos, a reporter asked "abdominals to take out", Wu Yiyu said: "I have not been ah." I'm quite satisfied, because I haven't said that when it comes to practicing shapes, I don't know if I can practice 6 or 8 blocks, maybe maybe I can or may not, but there is no need to do this thing. I can also be very thin, but it is not necessary, which seriously affects the level of competition. If you want to go to the gym or bodybuilding, if you think girls like it or gay like it... but there is no need. But the one before was a bit fat, but I didn't pay special attention to this thing because I particularly liked to eat rice, and I took too much carb intake, and I could eat a 3-4 bowl because it was the time of the long body. I don't know how to eat it, but it's fine now, in a relatively healthy state of health. ”
Yes, you heard it right, he said "gay like", Geng Zhi boy.
2, how to evaluate themselves: Wu Yiyu: "I can say, quite can talk, in fact, a little girl, the mind is more delicate, there is a little girl feeling, I am embarrassed to admit ... I'm pretty easygoing, others slightly overshoot my bottom line, I think it's ok, it's okay. I'm good at it, it's good at it. ”
The reporter casually said: "But you look very bad", Wu Yiyu explained: "Probably because of the hairstyle, there is no time to cut." I feel that I have to have that kind of look, to have an aura, to have charm, if it is very sloppy, hunchbacked, your whole mental state is very bad, I hope to give people a positive feeling. I have no baggage, and whatever you want to make of me, I'm fine. But you have to give people the feeling of aura."
Rizhao Station Wu Yiyu sang "Confession Balloon" on the spot
Wu Yiyu is really quite capable, not afraid of the stage, Chinese and English expressions are good, but also with a little humor, obsessed with the aura, full of youth and vitality.
Because of injuries, Wu Yiyu is now ranked very low in the world and can only play CTA in China, which is also a helpless thing. Coupled with the epidemic situation and the task of the National Games in September this year, it will take time to go abroad to compete, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to go out this year. However, the good state shown by Wu Yiyu makes us look forward to it. I hope that more athletes in the Chinese men's tennis team will stand up, go out to play more games, and compete with world-class players.
