Reborn Almighty Life

The women's singles semi-finals will begin first. Starting this year, the four Grand Slams will implement equal pay for equal work. The women's singles bonus will be the same as the men's singles. The women's singles champion will receive a championship bonus of US$1.2 million, and the runner-up's bonus will also be as high as US$800,000.

!

This number may seem small, but for ordinary athletes, it is already an astronomical number that is out of reach. It is impossible for many tennis players to reach this number in total career bonuses.

In the professional tennis world, only a handful of athletes at the top of the pyramid can earn huge incomes. The vast majority of athletes are competing desperately to obtain appearance fees and bonuses to maintain their huge expenses.

For professional athletes, the training team, management team and even flying around the world account for the vast majority of career expenses. If you want to win a better life foundation after retirement, you have to work hard.

Model workers like Davydenko are not uncommon in professional tennis, but he is the most outstanding player.

There has been a lot of talk about equal prize money for men and women in the four Grand Slam tournaments, and feminists in Europe and the United States have been waving flags in the media from time to time, calling for equality between men and women.

After years of debate, starting from the 2007 Australian Open, gender equality seems to have been truly implemented in the Grand Slam tournaments, which has made many people cheer in the media.

However, Gu Fei didn't take this seriously. The natural differences between male and female players would not mean that men's and women's sports would receive completely fair treatment just because the bonuses were equal.

Take today's French Open as an example. Although the difference in prize money between male and female athletes has disappeared, TV viewers will still choose the men's event with more intense competition and better scenes, and sponsors will also invest more advertising dollars in the men's event.

superior.

The Chinese Golden Flower Derby between Zheng Jie and Li Na kicked off first. Roland Garros Stadium No. 2 was packed with seats. Among the nearly 10,000 spectators, there were more than 2,000 Chinese fans, sitting on the sidelines in an unusually neat manner.

Although Zheng Jiegui is the top seed and the defending champion of the tournament, his popularity in Europe cannot be compared with the combination of Haining and Sharapova. The Philippe Chartier Stadium will be reserved for the semi-finals of the second and third seeds.

Among the semi-finals, Li Na's star is a little dimmer. First of all, Li Na has never won a Grand Slam championship, which makes her status in women's tennis slightly insufficient; in addition, Li Na looks different from the other three champions.

There is not much comparability, and it is not favored by sponsors.

Therefore, the tournament organizing committee arranged for the match between Zheng Jie and Li Na to be played on Court No. 2 entirely out of economic considerations.

As teammates of the national team, Zheng Jie and Li Na usually spend most of their domestic training at the Gu Fei Tennis School in Binhai. Naturally, they know the basics and there is no trial in the first place.

For Zheng Jie, this game will be the biggest obstacle to her defense. Compared with other opponents, Li Na understands herself better and poses a greater threat to herself.

Therefore, Zheng Jie appeared to be very proactive at the beginning of the game, frequently mobilizing Li Na, using her return skills to repeatedly hit wonderful through balls, showing the style of the defending champion!

Li Na, who is passive in the situation, is gritting her teeth and persisting. She knows that this game will be a crucial battle that determines whether she can become one of the top players in the world. She must hold on!

When Li Na had conflicts with the China Tennis Association for various reasons and tried to retire, Zheng Jie broke into the semi-finals at the French Open, creating the best result for a Chinese female player in a Grand Slam event and becoming the first sister of Chinese women's tennis in one fell swoop.

.

Subsequently, Zheng Jie won four consecutive Grand Slam championships, and together with her women's doubles Olympic championship, she achieved an alternative Golden Slam, which made her write a mark in the history of women's tennis.

With the help of the Gu Fei Foundation, Li Na resumed training and returned to tennis, but she had to start from scratch. After nearly two years, she finally reached her dream position.

Li Na is not an athlete who dares to be mediocre. Her hard work and tenacity have always been praised by the outside world. She hopes to defeat Zheng Jie in a head-to-head duel and become the number one Chinese women's tennis player.

The two players who knew each other well had a very exciting match. Although Zheng Jie was very skilled, Li Na was not far behind. The two of them competed for almost every ball, and they were able to play some amazing and exciting rounds.

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV gave the two Chinese Golden Flowers their warmest applause. Their fierce confrontation on the court eliminated many people's inherent impression of Chinese athletes.

In some international competitions, in many sports that are monopolized by Chinese athletes, although the Chinese athletes' habit of "giving the ball" has never been confirmed or recognized, it does exist.

It is precisely because of this that many Waiguoren do not have a very good impression of Chinese athletes, but the real-life showdown between Zheng Jie and Li Na in the French Open semi-finals was quite shocking!

In the first set, Zheng Jie relied on her small technical advantages to grasp some small details better. She caught Li Na's negligence in the key ball and won the game 6:4. The outcome of the whole game was decided by

In one thought.

Li Na seemed a little frustrated after losing the first set, but she recovered quickly during the break.

Of course, the shouts from her husband and coach Zhang Shan on the sidelines gave her enough motivation. As for whether Zhang Shan would be warned by the organizing committee, Li Na no longer considered it.

"As the defending champion, Zheng Jie is used to seeing big scenes. She is obviously better at grasping key balls than Li Na. Teacher Han, will this be a turning point in the game?!" Before the start of the second set, Xin Ning

asked Teacher Han.

Regarding this game, the two commentators on China TV's fifth set had a firm stance, and that was to applaud the performance of the two China Golden Flowers.

As for who wins and who loses, it means that the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Whoever wins is the victory of China Tennis.

"I have to say that the short Zheng Jie has shown perseverance and great energy in the women's tennis world in the past two years!" Teacher Han was full of praise for Zheng Jie's performance and said with a smile: "I have to say, Zheng Jie

As a Golden Slam winner, her psychological quality is obviously stronger, and her grasp of details is truly amazing!"

"However, Li Na's willpower is quite outstanding. Many players may have given up when the ball was replaced by other players, but she used her unremitting running to snatch the opportunity back." Teacher Han said about the two players.

The all-round performance of China Golden Flower is extremely satisfying because they have shown a positive image of Chinese women in the new era, for which every Chinese person is proud.

"The outcome of this game is only on a thin line. No matter who wins, it is normal. They will represent China to launch the most powerful impact on the French Open championship!" Xin Ning said with a strong sense of pride in her plain words.

: "The performance of the two Chinese Golden Flowers is the epitome of the rise of China as a great power. Our Huaxia Sports is becoming one of the business cards showing the country's image."

After the start of the second set, the battle on the court became more intense, because both players knew that this set was the most critical and there was no room for failure!

After establishing an advantage, Zheng Jie was even more aggressive in the second set. She was short, but her forehand returns were quite powerful.

Zheng Jie knew very well that if she was dragged to the third set by Li Na, she would not be able to defeat Li Na with her own physical strength, so she could only strive for a quick victory.

Li Na also knows what good friends think. After all, the two of them get along day and night at the training base, and they know each other's technical characteristics well.

In order to drag the game to the third set, Li Na chose a relatively conservative style of play, increasing the number of rounds for each ball as much as possible in an attempt to consume more of her opponent's physical energy.

It can be said that for this game, both sides have made various plans in the past few days to deal with various situations that may arise during the game.

However, as the game progressed, Li Na suddenly discovered that her delaying tactics did not work, because Zheng Jie broke serve again in the sixth game of the second set, leading 4:2 and pushing Li Na to the edge of the cliff.

!

In the next crucial seventh game, Zheng Jie successfully maintained her serve and expanded the score to 5:2, taking the initiative in the game.

Although Li Na kept her serve and rewritten the game to 3:5, the game inevitably entered the game where Zheng Jie's serve won the game.

Without too much trouble, Zheng Jie showed no mercy at the critical moment. She won the love game with four straight goals and won her second French Open semifinal with a score of 2:0, breaking into the French Open again.

The final at Roland Garros!

At the end of the game, the 10,000 spectators stood up and applauded the two Chinese Golden Flowers. It was a wonderful showdown. Zheng Jie, who won the game, certainly showed her style as the defending champion, but Li Na's tenacity, hard work and strength were not enough.

It is obvious to all.

Although Li Na failed in the French Open final this time, everyone knows that she will have a place in the future of women's tennis!

The two Huaxia Golden Flowers hugged across the net in the center of the field. The Huaxia fans at the scene and in front of the TV were very proud.

In the past, Chinese fans could only watch players from other countries on TV with great envy, but now they can also see more Chinese players standing at the top of world tennis.

On the sidelines, Gu Fei, Liu Yuyang and Dayao stood up and applauded the two players. The live director's camera switched from time to time. The three Chinese superstars have always been the highlight of this French Open.

At this French Open, because Liu Yuyang stayed in Paris to watch Zheng Jie's match, Dayao also stayed here to keep company with Gu Fei, and they became the most eye-catching spectators.

The relationship between Liu Yuyang and Zheng Jie has been exposed by the media for a long time, and the parties involved have openly admitted it, and it has not affected their respective achievements.

Today, Liu Yuyang is a Grand Slam player who combines world championships, Olympic gold medals and world records. Like Gu Fei, he has become the pride of the yellow race.

And Zheng Jie is no less generous. The honor of being a Golden Slam winner has given her a very high status in the world of sports, and she has become a vague representative of Chinese female athletes.

The relationship between Liu Yuyang and Zheng Jie has been recognized by the global media as the most romantic golden couple in the world of sports. Even the European and American media that are hostile to China have given all kinds of blessings to these two.

At this French Open, Liu Yuyang did not miss any of Zheng Jie's matches. The various interactions between the two on and off the court also made many people feel fed up with dog food.

It is rumored that the two superstars intend to get married after the 2008 Yanjing Olympic Games. They both want to use the Olympic gold medal as a wedding gift. This romantic statement also makes countless people bitter!

After the game, countless media tried to interview Gu Fei and others, but unfortunately the security personnel responded quickly. The reporters could only watch the three superstars get into the Maybach team and drive away.

…………

Compared with the shock of Court No. 2, the game at Court Philippe-Chatier seemed a bit calm. Although Henin and Sharapova have been famous for a long time, the game between the two seemed quite satisfactory and lacked enthusiasm.

If it weren't for Sharapova's occasional roars to cheer them up, many in the audience would have fallen asleep.

Obviously, reaching the semi-finals has caused some crisis in Henin's physical fitness. Facing Sharapova's powerful offensive, she seemed a little helpless and fell into a passive position from the beginning of the game.

Sharapova only needed an hour and a half to easily defeat Henin with two scores of 6:4, and had the last laugh in the confrontation between the two queens.

Even though the score difference was not big, Sharapova firmly controlled the rhythm and trend of the game. Haining's occasional counterattacks could not affect the overall situation.

In the past two years, Sharapova has grown rapidly. She is no longer just the talented girl who won the Wimbledon championship with her momentum in the past two years. The accumulation of skills, experience and championship aura have all made the Russian beauty

The girl has the momentum of a tennis queen, and this showdown with Haining is the best embodiment of it.

Although Zheng Jie has achieved the glory of the Golden Slam in the past two years, the player with the highest commercial value in women's tennis and the most attention is Sharapova. She is even praised by many media as the one who can combine championship honors and commercial value in the world of sports.

The most perfect combination of female athletes, even Graf, who has more championships, cannot compare to this.

Now, Sharapova has entered the French Open final for the first time. Her opponent is the defending French Open champion Zheng Jie, who has huge popularity in China. This game is even a dream match that many sponsors dream of.

Only in this kind of competition, where the competitive level, commercial value and confrontational topics have reached their peak, can the value of the Grand Slam final be fully reflected.

When the two final opponents were announced, a huge publicity machine was immediately activated. Although the women's event did not receive as much attention as the men's event, the two Grand Slam winners with huge influence met in the French Open decisive battle.

It is a fascinating topic in itself.

Of course, while the media and fans are paying attention to the women's competition, they will not forget the men's singles competition, because the semi-finals are about to begin!
