The epidemic has not yet passed, but the ATP and WTA have resumed some events one after another, in addition to the ongoing Lexington Race, Kis buchsay, Cincinnati and so on will continue to play.
Although the tennis season was officially announced early in China, the first stop of the China Tennis Tour (Anning), which was successfully held last week, still let everyone see the long-lost live broadcast of the game.
However, in the women's singles, the women's singles final four list composed of Yang Ziyi (22 years old, currently ranked 1047 in the world), Wang Meiling (20 years old, currently ranked 513 in the world), Lu Jiaqian (22 years old, currently ranked 613 in the world), and Cao Siqi (21 years old, now ranked 728 in the world) still makes some fans feel a little strange.
The surprising golden flower era, the pictures of those years of tears for the golden flowers, seem to be fading from your and my memories little by little with the passage of time.
Let's review the tragic moments of the Golden Flowers in those years!
#彭帅 · U.S. Open semi-final cramps withdrew
"The opportunity that waited for many years ended like this"
Among the Chinese athletes who are generally late in life, Peng Shuai began to compete in professional events at the age of 14 and became a Chinese sister at the age of 19, and Peng Shuai is one of the few players with the reputation of "genius girl".
But it wasn't until the 2014 US Open that she reached the semifinals of the Women's Singles for the first time at a Grand Slam, facing former world number one Wozniacki in the semifinals, and her tight defense and abundant physique made Peng Shuai very difficult.
At the critical moment, the severe cramps of her body made her kneel continuously, and Peng Shuai, who had to retire from the competition, hid her face and cried bitterly, not expecting that the opportunity she had waited for for many years was missed like this, and the commentator Tong Kexin also choked up several times.
#郑洁 · Incheon Asian Games women's group Zaikuya
"Do you have to ask this question?"
The 2014 Incheon Asian Games women's team final was played in China and Chinese Taipei, and although they grabbed a point in individual singles, the loss of doubles partner Zhang Shuai and the previous duan Yingying's singles loss finally made the Chinese team lose.
After the game, Zheng Jie, who has been looking forward to the asian games women's team championship, finally could not control her emotions when asked by reporters that her dream might never come true.
"Do you have to ask this question?" Turning her back to the camera, Zheng Jie sobbed for a full half minute, and the people at the scene were all unmoved.
#李娜 · China Net held a retirement ceremony
"The fans have done more for me than I have done for you"
When the Diamond Stadium remembered "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", Li Na, the undisputed first person in Chinese tennis, was saying goodbye to the fans and even all those who followed the retirement ceremony.
Circle around, tears in your eyes, wave your hands, cover your face, say goodbye... It is hard to imagine that Li Na, who was still in Melbourne at the beginning of the year, would turn around and leave when Chinese tennis reached a new boiling point.
An incurable knee injury was the main reason for her to choose to retire, and for many years, the black tape on her right leg knee followed Li like a tattoo.
