[0152] Breaking into the race
Gu Fei's opponent in the second round of qualifying is Carter from the United States. As one of the countries with the best tennis development in the world, the United States has a huge tennis population and a large number of competitions, which also makes American players ranked in the ATP rankings.
occupies a higher proportion.
Gu Fei's opponent Carter is ranked 178th in the ATP rankings, and his points are much higher than Gu Fei's 15 points. According to the information obtained by Gu Fei, he is a serve-and-net player. (Due to the ATP point system after 2009,
Huge changes have taken place, and the conversions are based on proportions. You don’t want to delve into the specific details.)
At the beginning of the match, Carter tried to use his powerful serve to defeat Gu Fei's resistance. After all, there was a huge difference in body shape between the two men.
Gu Fei is 183cm tall and weighed 75kg before the game. He is slender and even a little thin. Carter, who is opposite the net, is 190cm tall and weighs over 88kg. He is tall and muscular.
Therefore, when Carter served with a speed exceeding 200km/h, the Chinese reporters at the scene were worried that Gu Fei would not be able to catch it.
However, Gu Fei, who has long been accustomed to the speed of the ball machine above 230km/h, responded to such a serve calmly, made a smooth transition, and then locked horns with his opponent on the baseline.
Gu Fei already has considerable experience with players who serve quickly but have rough skills.
Ever since Sampras became the king of golf by relying on his serve and net style, many caddies around the world have been trying their best to learn Sampras' style of play.
However, not everyone can learn how to simply serve and hit the net!
Like Carter, his technique was not delicate enough and his serve lacked stability. In just four games, Gu Fei broke and secured, rewriting the score to 4:0.
The Chinese reporters watching the match were dumbfounded and almost thought they were in a match where professional players brutally tortured amateur players.
Gu Fei's serving speed, baseline stalemate skills and even delicate volleys in front of the net are all eye-catching. Many people even have the illusion that Gu Fei is a combination of Sampras and Agassi!
In the subsequent games, although Carter fought back, the difference in strength was too great. In the fifth game, he successfully held serve and was defeated by Gu Fei 6:1, avoiding the embarrassment of having his head shaved.
The first set set the tone for the entire game. Carter's shortcomings in various aspects were fully reflected in Gu Fei's all-around performance.
As soon as the second set started, Gu Fei, who served first, gave Carter enough psychological blow with 4 aes.
The speed of Gu Fei's serve was not very fast, around 200km/h, but the landing point was extremely tricky. The changes in the outer and inner corners left Carter at a loss as to what to do.
In the subsequent games, Carter's mentality was affected and he became more and more impatient. Although he was 5 years older than Gu Fei and had been in the professional tennis world for several years, he made various unforced errors in an endless stream, making it easier for Gu Fei to win.
6:2, 6:1, Gu Fei only allowed the opponent to get 4 of his serve games in total, and there was not even a break point. It was a crushing victory!
When Gu Fei finally won the game with an ACE ball, the Chinese reporters and a few overseas Chinese at the scene cheered. Many Australian spectators, who were conquered by Gu Fei's chic style, also applauded Gu Fei.
After all, the players Gu Fei eliminated today were not Australian players.
Gu Fei shook hands with Carter and the referee, signed the confirmation form, packed his bag and walked out of the court.
The three qualifying rounds are held once a day, and tomorrow is January 10th. Gu Fei still needs to win one more round to qualify for the main draw. The main draw officially starts on January 13th!
Sports reporters from the three major portals and reporters from Sports Weekly blocked Gu Fei at the exit of Court No. 4 and began the first joint media interview in Gu Fei's career.
"Gu Fei, how do you feel now?" This was asked by an intern reporter from Sina Sports, and it had no technical content.
"Gu Fei, I heard that your head coach is former world No. 1 Becker. What kind of coincidence led you to work together?" The reporter from NetEase was quite professional and asked a question about Becker.
"What is your goal at the Australian Open?" Sohu's reporter also faced Gu Fei for the first time, and asked quite satisfactory questions.
"As the first Chinese player to reach the third round of the Australian Open qualifying round, Gu Fei, do you have anything to say to the readers in China?" The reporters of "Sports Weekly" are also very professional and did not let the scene go cold.
Gu Fei answered the reporters' questions one by one. For a person who has worked in the pharmaceutical marketing industry, the official answers were easy to come by and not awkward at all.
Although Gu Fei's goal is to compete for the Australian Open championship, under such circumstances, he will naturally not make a big announcement and just prepare quietly.
The reporters were not able to delay Gu Fei for too long. Brothers Li Zhengyong, Deisler, and Johansson helped Gu Fei get rid of the reporters' entanglements, allowing Gu Fei to board the Mercedes-Benz motorcade and drive away.
However, even a short interview and photos were enough for reporters to compile various news reports about Gu Fei. After all, Gu Fei's historic achievements, background and appearance all gave him enough news
value.
When the news reports about Gu Fei had just been published in large quantities on the three major portal websites and "Sports Weekly" and the domestic readers had not fully digested it, Gu Fei won again in the third round of the Australian Open qualifying tournament and successfully entered the Australian Open.
In the main match of the Open, he became the first Chinese face in the 98-year history of the Australian Open!
In the three rounds of qualifying, Gu Fei, a little-known unknown player, swept three professional players who were all in the top 200 in the ATP rankings with a huge disparity, which surprised the media reporters covering the Australian Open.
However, as the news that Becker is Gu Fei's head coach spreads, some reporters who are familiar with the international tennis world think it is normal. After all, Becker is also a two-time Australian Open men's singles champion and has trained an Australian Open regular.
As a player, it is not a difficult thing.
When he got the invitation letter for the Australian Open main event, Gu Fei's anxious heart was finally relieved.
After all, Gu Fei, who is just starting out, is very unfamiliar with the professional tennis world. It will be his first time to participate in the competition. If he fails in the qualifying round, he will be depressed.
On the afternoon of January 10, 2003, local time in Melbourne, all players participating in the Australian Open main draw have been determined. 104 main draw players plus 8 wild card players and 16 qualifying players make up 128 men and women.
Contestant!
The Australian Open Organizing Committee officially held a press conference to announce the Australian Open singles, doubles seed players and divisional draw results. The Australian Open is ready and ready to go!
When the draw for the Australian Open men's singles match was sent back to China by media reporters, fans who care about tennis were surprised.
After all, the bright five-star red flag appears in the nationality column of a player, which means that the first main draw player from China in the history of the Australian Open was born!
This is not only the Australian Open, but also the first of the four Grand Slam tournaments.
In a sense, no matter what the future performance of this player named 'Gu Fei' is, when talking about the development of Chinese tennis, he will never be bypassed!
