When the Chinese team advanced to the top 20 of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, and the new and old players of Atletico Madrid were preparing for the new season under the leadership of Simeone, Zhang Huasong and Shu Yufei flew to Montreal, Canada, to prepare for the Montreal Masters.

In the two seasons of 2009 and 2010, Zhang Huasong did not participate in the Montreal Masters and the Cincinnati Masters for two consecutive years because of the World Championships and marriage, so that Zhang Huasong's nine Masters titles were always inferior to these two.

If Zhang Huasong can win these two Masters championships this year, he will be able to complete his career gold master achievement.

After winning this year's Shanghai Masters and Paris Masters, you will complete the more difficult annual gold master achievement.

Before Zhang Huasong and his wife arrived in Canada, the media began to hype up the topic.

Although the Masters level is lower than the Grand Slam, Master Kim's achievements are not lower than the Grand Slam at all.

The Grand Slam only needs to win four Grand Slam tournaments, and although the level is high, it is not too difficult, and there are nearly 20 male and female athletes in history who have completed career Grand Slam achievements.

Even with the difficult annual Grand Slam, six people, including Zhang Huasong, have already achieved it.

However, no one has completed Master Jin's achievements so far.

Although the number of Masters tournaments varies from one historical period to another, and the specific tournaments are different, no tennis player has ever achieved a gold master in his own era.

Compared to the achievement of completing the Grand Slam with four Grand Slams, the achievement of Master Kim, who won nine Masters titles, is hellish in difficulty.

For every additional event that needs to be won, the difficulty and variability increase exponentially.

Just like the league championship in football every year, the double is quite rare, and as for the treble, it is an absolutely dominant performance.

At present, Zhang Huasong is likely to accomplish this unprecedented achievement.

Moreover, not only the career gold master, Zhang Huasong may even complete the annual gold master.

Therefore, when it was confirmed that Zhang Huasong would participate in this year's Montreal and Cincinnati Masters, the term "Master Jin" began to appear frequently in media reports, and many readers only knew the difficulty of this term and its corresponding difficulty for the first time.

As a result, the Montreal Masters has achieved the largest media coverage and audience ratings for the Masters, even better than the previous French Open and Wimbledon Grand Slams.

If Zhang Huasong can win the Montreal Masters, when he plays in the Cincinnati Masters, the attention will even exceed that of the Grand Slam tournament.

Because this is an opportunity for everyone to witness history.

Perhaps, except for Zhang Huasong, no one will be able to complete this achievement in the future.

Someone may be able to complete the Career Gold Master, but it is probably impossible for anyone to win all nine Masters in one year and complete the Gold Master of the Year achievement.

From August 8th to August 14th, in the attention of countless media and fans around the world, Zhang Huasong continued to break into the final with a score of 2-0 throughout the whole process, and faced Djokovic in the final on August 14.

Then, after just over one hour of fighting, Zhang Huasong easily defeated Djokovic with a score of 2-0 in the final and won the Montreal Masters for the first time.

When the game ended, Zhang Huasong's fans in the stands jumped up and chanted Zhang Huasong's name to celebrate him. Other spectators and fans also applauded warmly and congratulated Zhang Huasong on his victory.

Because this is Zhang Huasong's first time winning the Montreal Masters, it is also Zhang Huasong's eighth Masters championship.

In today's nine-ATP1000 Masters in tennis, Zhang Huasong has won eight tournaments, and he is only one Cincinnati Masters champion left from his career master.

TV commentators from various countries excitedly commented: "The eighth Masters champion, Zhang Huasong has won the eighth Masters championship. With only one Cincinnati Masters champion away, Zhang Huasong is about to complete the unprecedented achievement of Master Jin in the tennis world. Before Zhang, no one in the 100-year history of tennis had ever achieved the achievement of collecting all the Masters trophies, and Zhang Huasong was the first athlete to possibly do so. The next Cincinnati Masters is the time for us to witness the miracle of tennis. ”

As these commentators said, because Zhang Huasong won the Montreal Masters, Zhang Huasong completed the Cincinnati Masters, the last stop of the Golden Master's achievement, and became the focus of the world's attention.

After a period of vigorous publicity by the global media, the title of "Master Jin", an unprecedented tennis achievement, has also become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and known all over the world.

Everyone knows that Zhang Huasong has the potential to become the first great player in the history of tennis to collect all the Masters titles of the present generation.

Because of this, the Cincinnati Masters has the largest number of global television broadcasts and live coverage of the Masters, more than the first three majors of the year.

As for the audience tickets, they were naturally sold out early. Some spectators waited for Zhang Huasong to win the Montreal Masters before grabbing tickets to the Cincinnati Masters, only to find that they could not buy them.

The official window has announced that the tickets are sold out, and there is not a single one left, and everyone can only buy high-priced tickets from the scalpers.

If you are reluctant to pay for it, you can only watch the live broadcast in the square outside, and you can't watch Zhang Huasong's performance live in the stadium.

Even if you are willing to pay, you may not be able to buy tickets, because scalpers have almost snatched up tickets.

The 2011 season of the Cincinnati Masters is destined to be the most watched Masters in the history of tennis in the world.

The Montreal Masters and the Cincinnati Masters are next to each other, with the final of the Montreal Masters ending on August 14 and the Cincinnati Masters kicking off on August 15.

Fortunately, the Cincinnati Masters and Montreal Masters have the same number of draws, with a total of 56 draws. Zhang Huasong, as the top eight seeded players, had a bye in the first round and will not play until August 17 from the second round.

Therefore, even if the final of the Montreal Masters is only played on August 14, Zhang Huasong has plenty of time to make it to Cincinnati.

However, the person who travels a hundred miles is half ninety, and Cincinnati is Zhang Huasong's last stop, and he must not be careless.

Therefore, after attending the award ceremony in Montreal on August 14 and resting for a night, Zhang Huasong and Shu Yufei rushed to Cincinnati City, Ohio, in the central part of the Stars and Stripes on August 15, to rest and prepare for the Cincinnati Masters.

After the first round of the main event, 24 first-round winners and 8 seeded players including Zhang Huasong entered the second round to start the second round of competition.

On the morning of August 17, the No. 1 arena of the Cincinnati Masters, the Mason Tennis Center, which can accommodate more than 10,000 spectators, was full, and all the spectators were waiting for Zhang Huasong to enter.

Approaching 9 o'clock, in the loud introduction of the on-site commentator, Zhang Huasong walked into the court from the athletes' passage and received warm applause from the audience.

Even if Zhang Huasong's opponent in this game was a player from the Stars and Stripes, the Stars and Stripes spectators in the stands were enthusiastically applauding and cheering for Zhang Huasong.

Even if they are as arrogant as the Stars and Stripes, few people think that the Stars and Stripes players who participated in this game with wild cards can defeat Zhang Huasong and stop Zhang Huasong's journey as a gold master.

Even if someone can stop Zhang Huasong, I am afraid that it will be those top players in the semifinals and finals, and it will never be the stars and stripes players in this game.

What's more, many viewers in the Stars and Stripes Kingdom came to watch the game with the mentality of witnessing history and legends, and naturally hoped that Zhang Huasong would complete the unprecedented achievement of Master Jin.

It can be said that on the land of the Stars and Stripes, facing the competition of the players of the Stars and Stripes Country, Zhang Huasong is also enjoying the home treatment of the audience cheering for him.

In this round, Zhang Huasong's opponent is ATP world No. 76 Harrison of the Stars and Stripes who entered the tournament as a wild card, and Harrison defeated Argentina's Chela with two 6-3 and 2-0 aggregate scores in the first round to advance to the second round.

However, after meeting Zhang Huasong in the second round, Harrison knew that his path to the Cincinnati Masters was over.

However, knowing that he would lose, the audience also decided that Harrison would lose, and Harrison would not give up. Because this is his home stadium, and more than 80% of the spectators in the stands are Stars and Stripes, Harrison must not take the initiative to admit defeat and must fight not to be shaved head.

After the start of the game, the difference in strength between the two sides made the process of the game not unexpected by the audience, and it seemed that Harrison could really be shaved by Zhang Huasong.

In the first set, Harrison was beaten 6-0 by Zhang Huasong and did not win a game.

In the second set, after the first 4 games, Zhang Huasong has a 4-0 lead, Harrison still hasn't won a game, and it looks like Harrison may be shaved by Zhang Huasong again in the second set.

However, Harrison has not given up yet, and it was his 5th turn to serve.

As a result, this time Harrison played extraordinarily, directly sent out three ace balls, and defeated Zhang Huasong with a three-round balloon to win the fifth game, and finally did not shave his head.

At this moment, the applause of the audience in the Stars and Stripes was greater than the applause of Zhang Huasong when he won.

After all, Harrison is a Stars and Stripes athlete after all. Although he knew that Harrison could not defeat Zhang Huasong, when Harrison won a game against Zhang Huasong, the Stars and Stripes audience in the stands still gave him the warmest applause to encourage him.

In the end, Harrison won this game, losing to Zhang Huasong in two sets 6-0, 6-1, avoiding the result of being shaved head.

After beating Harrison to advance to the round of 16, Zhang Huasong will face ATP world No. 27 Stepanek of the Czech Republic in the third round on August 18.

Although Stepanek is much stronger than Harrison, he does not have Harrison's fighting spirit.

After losing 6-0 in the first set, Stepanek basically gave up resistance in the second set, and continued to be beaten 6-0 by Zhang Huasong without any suspense, and did not win a game in both sets.

Zhang Huasong continued to advance to the next round with an aggregate score of 2-0 and entered the quarterfinals.

On August 19, in the quarterfinals, Zhang Huasong's opponent was the French player Monfils, who is currently ranked 7th in the world in the ATP.

It was only when Zhang's opponent became a top-10 player that the match began to get exciting, unlike the first two rounds of Zhang's opponent who was almost defenseless.

Although the media and viewers around the world are looking forward to Zhang Huasong's achievements as a master of gold, Zhang Huasong's achievement as a master of gold is undoubtedly a sad sign for other players of his generation.

So, if possible, other players will definitely go out of their way to prevent Zhang Huasong from winning the Cincinnati Masters, and Monfils is no exception.

In this 1/4 finals, Monfils played quite hard and played at a higher level than usual.

Because in the third round the day before, Monfils's opponent withdrew, and Monfils automatically advanced, and he was given an extra day of rest.

Coupled with the idea of wanting to prevent Zhang Huasong from winning the championship, Monfils played very well in this game, and even won Zhang Huasong 5 games in the first set, almost dragging the game into a tie-break.

Fortunately, Zhang Huasong was very focused from the beginning and was not careless.

In the end, he still won the first set with a score of 7-5, and was not dragged into the tie-break by Monfils.

In the second set, although Monfils fought hard, Zhang Huasong's performance was too good and stable, and he hardly made any mistakes.

As a result, Zhang Huasong won the second set with a score of 6-4. Despite his extraordinary performance, Monfils still failed to win even a set, only winning a few games against Zhang Huasong in the process.

With his super strength and serious attitude, Zhang Huasong broke into the semifinals of the 2011 Cincinnati Masters.

On August 20, in the semifinals, Zhang Huasong faced the old king Federer.

Although the tragic old king tried his best, he still fell on Zhang Huasong's way to the final without any suspense, and was defeated by Zhang Huasong with a score of 6-3 and 6-4 in two sets, failing to stop Zhang Huasong's way to promotion.

Moreover, since the start of the 2011 season, Federer has never reached the final in all Grand Slam and Masters tournaments.

On the way to the promotion, he was either defeated by Zhang Huasong, or Nadal and Djokovic, and he never entered a final anyway.

In such a situation, people have to sigh that the years are really a pig-killing knife, and the tennis king Federer, who has dominated the ATP world No. 1 for more than two consecutive years and won the Laureus Athlete of the Year for 4 consecutive years, is also old and can't even enter the final.

Of course, Federer's defeat was expected by most.

Compared with Zhang Huasong, Nadal, and Djokovic, Federer is indeed the oldest, and it is reasonable that his strength has declined.

In the face of Zhang Huasong, who is deviant in strength, serious in attitude, and full of ambition to reach the finals and win the championship to complete the achievements of Master Jin, Federer's sniper failure is not a strange thing.
