(sabasports sport) On the morning of September 30, the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou opened the men’s singles final competition. Zhang Zhizhen, the number one player of Chinese men’s singles, took on Yosuke Mikan of Japan. Zhang Zhizhen defeated Yosuke Mikan 6-4, 7-6 to win the Asian Games trophy. Since 1990 and 1994, Chinese men’s tennis players have stood at the top of the Asian Games for the first time in 29 years.
In the history of the Chinese men’s network, Pan Bing has won the Asian Games men’s singles gold medal twice in 1990 and 1994, while China also won the men’s doubles and men’s team gold MEDALS in the 1990 Asian Games. But since 1994, no Chinese male athlete has stood on the top podium of the Asian Games. Zhang Zhizhen this time is to attack a 29 years without a crown of magic.
From the first set was broken, to the second set deadlock, this is Zhang Zhizhen nearly two years since the professional tennis world, once again faced the test of the heart. Previously, Zhang Zhizhen often lost five sets at Grand Slam tournaments, so that he was labeled as a “glass heart.” Fortunately, Zhang Zhizhen has matured a lot after more than half a year of grinding, and has also found the way to deal with difficult times. “I actually want to say that only after those regrettable losses in the past will you know how to deal with difficult situations, adjust your mental state better, and strive for better results.” Zhang Zhizhen said.
