After 4 p.m. on February 1, the final finale of the 2009 Australian Open, the men's singles final between Zhang Huasong and Rafael Nadal, was finally decided after more than seven hours of fierce battle, and Zhang Huasong won the epic super long final with an aggregate score of 3-2.

The scores in the final five sets were 7-6, 6-7, 6-4, 5-7, 21-19, and the two sides fought for a total of 7 hours and 18 minutes, surpassing the record of 6 hours and 33 minutes for a Grand Slam in 2004 and becoming the longest match since the four Grand Slams entered the Open era.

The pair played a total of 88 games, hitting more than 100 aces combined, and Zhang Huasong's top ball speed of 243.7 km/h was close to the tennis record of 246.2 km/h set by Ann Roddick of the Stars and Stripes in 2004.

The longest set was the deciding set, where the two played for more than three hours with a score of 21-19.

In the longest game, the two repeatedly fought for the AD winning point, and it took 18 balls to decide the winner.

The longest ball was played by the two for more than 20 rounds before Zhang Huasong's victory ended.

In this epic super long final, there are too many classic pictures! There are too many records to set!

Zhang Huasong became the first talent in the history of tennis to win a Grand Slam championship after only studying tennis for 3 months, and also became the first Grand Slam champion in China and even in Asia.

It is even greater than the 100-meter dash in 2007, when he won the world championship and broke the world record in just over two months after entering the industry.

After all, tennis is more technical than just sprinting.

The 100-meter dash is more physically talented, while tennis is much more demanding in all aspects. It is really shocking that Zhang Huasong can still achieve such results in a short period of time.

This time, Zhang Huasong has completely confirmed his name as an all-round genius, and many people are already speculating about Zhang Huasong's next project.

According to the speed at which Zhang Huasong won the Grand Slam in 3 months, it is estimated that it will not be long before Zhang Huasong will rank first in the world, and the Grand Slam and Masters championships will be soft.

Then, it was time for Zhang Huasong to enter a new field.

According to Zhang Huasong's speed, physical fitness, and strength in the field of track and field, as well as Zhang Huasong's own learning ability, it seems that Zhang Huasong has room to play in many events.

To what extent Zhang Huasong can be all-round, many people are looking forward to it!

In terms of ratings, in China alone, CCTV had more than 4% of the ratings at the beginning of the live broadcast finals.

As the final progressed, after Zhang Huasong and Nadal entered the decisive set for more than an hour and failed to distinguish the winner for a long time, countless viewers who turned on the TV after hearing the news raised the CCTV ratings to more than 8%.

This is already on par with the ratings of Zhang Huasong who won the 100-meter trapeze battle at the Peking Olympics, and it is not far from the ratings of his ninth gold.

The number of viewers in China has reached about 100 million, and most of them are people who never watch tennis, or even sports games, and at most they watched the Olympics during the National Olympics.

It can be seen that the attraction of this classic battle to passers-by and audiences is not trivial.

And all over the world, tennis in Europe, the United States and Western countries is more developed and has a larger audience base, and most countries have set the record for the highest ratings of live tennis matches.

The final, which coincided with Sunday, was watched by around 500 million people worldwide, with almost 1 in 10 people watching the game live.

At the medal ceremony, Nadal received the runner-up medal and was quite disappointed.

Because he has already won the Olympic championship that is not high in gold content, but it is not easy, and it takes four years to win the Olympic championship, and he has the opportunity to hit the golden slam!

In the Grand Slam, Nadal has already won the French Open and Wimbledon, just short of the Australian Open and the US Open.

He was in much better form than Federer at the Australian Open, thinking he could win the Australian Open, win his first hard-court title, and then be just one US Open away from the Golden Slam.

As a result, I didn't expect it to be Zhang Huasong who would meet him in the final. Moreover, Zhang Huasong only learned tennis for 3 months before beating him to win the championship, and he continued to have no record of a hard court championship, and the embarrassing nickname of the king of clay continued to be firmly worn on his head.

Now, with the addition of Zhang Huasong in the tennis world, coupled with the competition between Federer and Djokovic, Nadal's road to the Golden Slam looks even more distant!

Nadal received the runner-up medal to the cheers of the crowd and walked off the podium, then watched Zhang Huasong accept the award.

When Zhang Huasong stood on the podium, the audience erupted in warm applause, cheers and screams.

Through this match, many of Zhang's athletics and music fans have become tennis fans, many ordinary fans have become die-hard fans, and countless Australians have turned from passers-by to supporters of Zhang Huasong.

Rod Laver, the only Australian who has won the Grand Slam of the Year twice in one year and is known as the greatest player in tennis, presented Zhang Huasong with the championship trophy and praised Zhang Huasong and Nadal for teaming up to deliver an epic final to audiences around the world, and also made a huge contribution to the promotion of the Australian Open and professional tennis.

As an Australian, the Australian Open in his hometown has produced such an epic Grand Slam final, which is bound to give the Australian Open a greater advantage in terms of competition for sponsorship, television broadcasting, audience ratings, advertising and other aspects of the Australian Open.

Therefore, Rod Laver appeared very happy! The Australians in the audience also applauded and cheered!

Whether you like Huaguo or not, but for Zhang Huasong's personal strength and performance in this final, the vast majority of Australians are convinced!

After the awards, Zhang Huasong and Nadal took a group photo with the 2 million Australian dollars and 1 million Australian dollars respectively for the championship and runner-up prizes.

In addition to the bonus several times higher than the gold medal that can only be won by the whole body in one season of the Athletics Golden League, this game obviously has more gains in popularity.

Although Nadal lost the game, it also made his fans see his perseverance and hard work with Zhang Huasong to the end, at least better than Djokovic always withdrawing halfway, making his fans more loyal.

Just like Robert Baggio in football, even if he misses a penalty in the World Cup, he can attract countless fans.

And Zhang Huasong naturally gained more, countless fans who only watched tennis and never watched track and field met Zhang Huasong through this final and became his fans.

After the match, the world's media also frantically reported on the match, letting more people know about the epic Australian Open men's singles summit showdown and Zhang Huasong's first professional appearance to win the supreme Grand Slam title.
