Chapter 361: Wimbledon grass wins the championship
In the first episode of "Huaguo Talent", Liang Zijia came to the stage as a standard little girl, and she spoke with a normal female voice.
But when she sang, it was a man's voice, which startled both the judges and the audience, and the audience in front of the TV was dumbfounded.
It's not that there are no girls singing in this world, but after all, they are a minority, and most ordinary people have really never seen them.
Therefore, when you see and hear it, it is a completely different experience.
As a girl, Liang Zijia sang a male song perfectly, which attracted a standing ovation from the judges and the audience, and the audience in front of the TV was also excited.
In the end, Liang Zijia's promotion was simply expected by everyone, and there was no objection.
After the first episode of the program was broadcast, Liang Zijia became an instant hit, attracted national attention and heated discussions, and entered the popularity list of Chinese stars, which quickly attracted the attention of the brokerage company, and the signing conditions given were very favorable.
After all, Liang Zijia is no longer a pure newcomer, she has already gained a lot of popularity with her excellent performance in the first episode of the show, entered the celebrity popularity list, and ranks not low among public figures.
If the follow-up is stable, it can make more money than those pure newcomers who have not yet debuted and have an uncertain future!
Therefore, the conditions given by the brokerage company are good, Liang Zijia only needs to consider which one to join!
Liang Zijia's road to stardom has begun!
After "The Masked Singer", Zhang Huasong's program planning ability once again made the industry look sideways!
The fire of "Huaguo Talent" proves that the "Masked Singer" planned by Zhang Huasong is not a fluke, but that he really has that ability.
In the hearts of the industry and the audience, Zhang Huasong has also become synonymous with gold medal program planners!
If Zhang Huasong plans a new program in the future, it will definitely cause many TV stations to compete, and it will attract countless viewers before it starts broadcasting!
"Huaguo's Got Talent" is broadcast once a week, and in addition to those stunned talents, there are also pleasing art programs and funny performances that make people laugh.
Talents from all walks of life and fields compete to perform, so that the people of the whole country can feast their eyes. At the same time, Zhang Huasong, as a planner, has also confirmed his reputation as an all-round genius.
And Zhang Huasong's third Grand Slam match has also attracted more attention at home and even around the world.
In Europe, London, the capital of the United States, has entered the rainy season in June, and the occasional rainstorm has made fans a little worried about whether Wimbledon can be held as scheduled.
In fact, there have been countless matches in Wimbledon history that have been played in the rain. There were even cases where heavy rain prevented the game from going on, and had to be interrupted or even delayed for several days.
Wimbledon, which lasted for two weeks, and a few rains in the match were too normal. It would be strange if it didn't rain at Wimbledon any year.
In addition to the rain, Wimbledon is often disturbed by the animals. Squirrels, pigeons, mice, sparrows, bees, and so on, and in severe cases, even interrupt the game.
Wimbledon is also the only Grand Slam tournament among the four Grand Slams that does not have a country name.
Several other Grand Slams are named after the country in which they are located, with only Wimbledon being the name of a small city, not even London.
This is a testament to Wimbledon's long history and its place in professional tennis.
Moreover, among the four Grand Slams, Wimbledon is also the only Grand Slam tournament without an advertisement, which is very different from the overwhelming advertising of the French Open and the US Open.
In addition to the sponsor title, there were no dazzling billboards around the stadium during the tournament, maintaining the pure playing environment of Wimbledon for more than 100 years.
Of course, these are the little things. The biggest difference is the seeding from Wimbledon.
Wimbledon seeded players are not based solely on the ATP World Rankings, but on the ATP World Rankings combined with the points they have played on grass courts over the past year.
Because Zhang Huasong has never participated in any grass-court events, and the weight of ATP points in Wimbledon is not very high.
As a result, Zhang Huasong, who is ranked fifth in the ATP world, was not one of the top 32 seeded players in the Wimbledon draw in 2009.
This made the top 32 seeded players quite nervous.
Because, if it were 32 seeded players, they wouldn't have met each other before the third round.
Now because Zhang Huasong is not a top 32 seeded player, it is possible that someone will meet Zhang Huasong in the first and second rounds.
Although Zhang Huasong has never played grass, looking at his performance in his first clay tournament at the Monte Carlo Masters, and the fact that people have already trained and prepared for grass in advance in London, everyone knows that whoever meets Zhang Huasong will be unlucky.
Just when the seeded players were expecting not to meet Zhang Huasong in the first round, the 128 men's singles spots at Wimbledon were released.
Unfortunately, the 23rd-ranked seeded player from the Czech Republic, Stepanek, was scheduled to play Zhang Huasong in the first round.
Suddenly, there was a wail in the Czech Republic!
Not to mention the media and fans in other countries, even the Czech Republic itself does not believe that Stepanek can beat Zhang Huasong to advance.
Although this was Zhang's first grass-court tournament, Zhang's reputation as an all-around talent and early preparation meant that Zhang's performance would be very different from his first clay match at the Monte Carlo Masters.
On June 22, the 2009 Wimbledon tennis tournament kicked off.
The weather was fine in the morning, there was no rain, which made the morning race go smoothly.
Zhang Huasong and Stepanek played in the evening.
As a result, before the start of the game, there was a sudden shower of rain that fell for more than 20 minutes, which delayed the start of the match between Zhang Huasong and Stepanek by half an hour.
Although the modern stadium has a drainage system, after all, it is grass, and there is still a lot of water, which has caused a lot of damage to both sides of the game, and mistakes are frequent.
However, Zhang Huasong is the world's No. 1 after all, and with special training to adapt to the grass game, it is completely different from the Monte Carlo Masters.
In a fair situation where both sides made frequent mistakes, Zhang Huasong naturally defeated Stepanek very easily.
Although he won a few games, Zhang Huasong still defeated Stepanek with an overall score of 3-0 to advance, 6-2, 6-1, 6-1 in three sets.
If it weren't for the rain and water that produced a lot of mistakes, Zhang Huasong estimated that he might have been able to shave Stepanek's head.
Zhang Huasong's victory over Stepanek to advance was too normal, there was no news, and there was not much post-match coverage.
Even though this was Zhang's first grass-court event, everyone knew that Zhang Huasong would not be as unfamiliar with clay courts as he was at the Monte Carlo Masters.
The most reported after the tournament was an Argentine player ranked more than 130 in the world who made it from the qualifiers to the main draw, beating the seeded player who was ranked 18th in the tournament to advance to the next round.
This is the first big upset and big dark horse at this Wimbledon.
Wimbledon has always been a hotbed of popularity due to the nature of the grass and the rainy season. Agassi, Federer and others capsized at Wimbledon and were beaten by dozens of players who were ranked dozens lower than them.
Therefore, every year at Wimbledon, in addition to the championship competition, the most talked about by fans are those unpopular games.
In the first round of this year, the world's No. 130 player defeated the No. 18 seed to advance, and it did not disappoint fans around the world.
In the second round, Zhang Huasong also easily defeated his opponent 3-0.
In the second round, there were several upsets, all of which were won by players ranked 50 or higher than the top 20 to advance to the next round, which was quite enjoyable for neutral fans.
Because Zhang Huasong is not a seeded player, he can meet both the seeded player in the first round and Djokovic in the third round.
This match can be called the heaviest match in the third round of Wimbledon this year.
In the past Wimbledon, this would never have happened! No player would have come to Wimbledon without any points on grass like Zhang Huasong.
Therefore, according to the seeding rules, it is difficult for the top players in the world to meet before the quarter-finals.
And the format caused Djokovic to bump into Zhang Huasong in the third round, which can only be regarded as his bad luck.
After Djokovic was at the Australian Open, he really changed his temperament, put most of his energy into the court, and his strength improved quickly.
In this third-round Wimbledon matchup, Djokovic showed a very different strength and spirit from the Australian Open, not only winning many games against Zhang Huasong, but also winning one set against Zhang Huasong.
However, in terms of the total score, Zhang Huasong's strength is still enough to crush Djokovic. Djokovic could only win a few games with occasional outbursts and good shots, but in terms of aggregate scores, he couldn't beat Zhang Huasong.
The final result was Zhang Huasong 3-1 Djokovic, the scores of the four sets were 6-3, 7-5, 6-7, 6-4, Djokovic won the first set by dragging the third set into a tie-break, but finally lost the overall score and stopped in the third round.
ATP world No. 3 Novak Djokovic stopped in the third round and became the biggest news in the third round of Wimbledon. Even if there are other upsets, how can they compare to the duel between Zhang Huasong and Djokovic?
The media reported one after another, and naturally mentioned that Zhang Huasong was in a completely different state from the Monte Carlo Masters.
In the third round of the Wimbledon men's singles that just ended today, Zhang Huasong easily defeated the world's No. 3 Djokovic with an aggregate score of 3-1 to advance. ”
Unlike the Monte Carlo Masters, before Wimbledon, Zhang Huasong pushed away all low-level events, commercial activities, and media interviews, and rented a grass court at Wimbledon for pre-match adaptation training. Now, Zhang's training is showing results, and even world No. 3 Novak Djokovic has been easily defeated by him. ”
"Zhang Huasong's first grass-court event is not the same as the stumble he had at the Monte Carlo Masters on clay for the first time. The state was very hot, and the world No. 3 Djokovic lost to Zhang Huasong without even being able to drag it into the deciding set. Perhaps, at Wimbledon this year, Zhang Huasong will win the championship. ”
After beating Djokovic to advance to the fourth round, Zhang Huasong faced the tournament's No. 8 seed, but only No. 37 in the ATP world rankings. It proves that this athlete has a lot of points in grass events, and the grass is very strong.
However, against Zhang Huasong, who had been prepared for a long time, the No. 8 seed, like Djokovic, was defeated by Zhang Huasong with a score of 3-1, and failed to cause Zhang Huasong any problems.
In the quarterfinals, he encountered a weaker opponent than the fourth round, and Zhang Huasong won more easily, entering the semifinals with a score of 3-0.
In the semifinals, Zhang Huasong's test came: defending champion Nadal.
Although Zhang Huasong trained for half a month before Wimbledon, after all, this is a grass, and it is still questionable whether Zhang Huasong's half-month special training can erase the gap with Nadal.
After all, the last Wimbledon champion was Nadal, Nadal is the defending champion, and his strength at Wimbledon is also obvious to all.
Although Zhang Huasong has just defeated Nadal on the French Internet clay court, after all, Zhang Huasong has already gone through three clay Masters tournaments when he participated in the French Open.
But in this Wimbledon, Zhang Huasong played a full game and trained for more than ten days before the game, adapted to the grass, and whether he can defeat Nadal is still full of highlights and questions.
Having just lost to Zhang Huasong at the French Open, Nadal is absolutely full of fighting spirit and wants to defeat Zhang Huasong for revenge.
Although Zhang Huasong carried out adaptive training before the game, after all, there was too little time. After two matches at the clay Masters, he lost to Nadal in Madrid, proving that when Nadal is in good form, Zhang Huasong will also lose.
But this Wimbledon semi-final is not Nadal's native Spain, and Nadal's form has not been as explosive as the Madrid Masters.
Therefore, the process of the game was exciting, but the result was that Zhang Huasong won!
Nadal won two sets, but still lost to Zhang Huasong with an aggregate score of 3-2, and the defending champions stopped in the semifinals.
Zhang Huasong has reached the final and will face Federer for the 2009 Wimbledon title.
This is the first time Zhang Huasong has met Federer in the final, and the two world-class superstars will meet in the final, which naturally attracts the attention of the world.
Federer is stronger than Nadal on grass at Wimbledon, and from 2003 to 2007, Federer won Wimbledon for five consecutive years, making it five consecutive titles.
Therefore, in front of hundreds of millions of viewers in more than 100 countries around the world, Zhang Huasong and Federer's final was quite anxious.
Although it couldn't catch up with the epic duel between Zhang Huasong and Nadal in the Australian Open final, it took a lot of time.
The two started at 9 a.m., had a few minutes of rain showers in the middle, and the game was stopped for a while, and then the two continued to play until after 2 p.m., a total of more than five hours.
The score of the final set was 18-16, and Zhang Huasong was able to narrowly defeat Federer.
In the end, Zhang Huasong won the 2009 Wimbledon Grand Slam championship with an aggregate score of 3-2.
The first time he participated in a grass court event, he won the Wimbledon Grand Slam, and Zhang Huasong's all-round ability amazed the media and fans around the world again.
