This year's Australian Open tennis tournament is getting closer and closer, and the Australian Open qualifying tournament is also coming to an end, with the 16 qualifying places officially confirmed, the Australian Open organizing committee announced the list of all 128 players in the men's division of this year's Australian Open.

There are many familiar names in the list, such as No. 1 seed Federer, No. 2 seed Nadal, No. 3 seed Davydenko, No. 4 seed Ljubicic, etc., these are all old and strong players, and they have long been familiar to the audience; There are also some young players who have just emerged in recent years, such as 14th seed Novak Djokovic and 15th seed Murray, both of whom are under the age of 20 but have become the top 20 players in the world rankings, so they are also in the spotlight.

Other players who are ranked higher in the world will more or less attract the attention of many media and audiences, as for those players who are relatively low in the world rankings, qualifiers and wild card players, not many people care about them, except for professional tennis people, ordinary viewers don't know them at all, and they haven't even heard of their names.

But in the list announced by the organizers of this year's Australian Open, there is a name that is extremely familiar to audiences around the world - Zhang Guan!

"The list of Australian Open tennis players is announced, and the king of track and field, Zhang Guan, is impressively listed! 》

This news was like a bomb, which instantly detonated the focus of media attention, especially the online media with the fastest response, which published the relevant news as soon as possible.

The news is accompanied by an official screenshot of the Australian Open Organizing Committee, showing that Zhang Guan appeared in the 128-man squad, at first some people thought it was PS, but after entering the official website of the Australian Open, it was confirmed that it was true.

Immediately after, a commentary-based report appeared on the Internet.

"Zhang Guan appeared on the list of Australian Open players, transformation? Play Ticket? Organizer oolong? Or is it an advertising campaign? 》

This article was written by a veteran journalist in the world of tennis, and he raised all kinds of possibilities. In the article he wrote:

"Zhang Guan wants to transform into tennis? This possibility should be the first to be ruled out, from one sport to another, the difficulty can be imagined, not to mention that tennis is a sport that considers the comprehensive ability of athletes, physical fitness, technology, talent, experience, psychology, without seven or eight years of practice can not produce results, which is completely different from track and field, which is completely different from track and field. So the possibility of Zhang Guan's transformation into tennis is zero. ”

"Play tickets? It's not too likely. There are always some athletes who will enter other fields because of the novelty, but if you simply play tickets, Zhang Guan does not need to go to the Grand Slam stage of the Australian Open. I think Zhang Guan only needs to play two matches against his Grand Slam girlfriend to satisfy his novelty in tennis! Speaking of which, maybe Zhang Guan really can't beat Sharapova, don't think it's a joke, there are not many male players in the world who can beat Sharapova. ”

"When I first saw the news, I thought it was an oolong made by the organizers of the Australian Open, but now more than two hours have passed since the announcement of the Australian Open entry list, and the list has still not been replaced, it looks like this is not an oolong!"

The author thinks. It's just an advertising campaign, so Zhang Guan's fans may be disappointed, and I'm afraid he won't actually appear at the Australian Open! ”

For journalists, the only information they have at their disposal is the list of participants announced by the Australian Open organizing committee. So now we can only "make a bold guess", but in a few hours, the answer will be revealed, and the regular press conference of the Australian Open organizing committee will be held in the afternoon.

Every year at a Grand Slam tournament, there are always players who retire for various reasons. Therefore, after the list of players is announced, a regular press conference is essential, and the Australian Open organizing committee also needs the media and the public to explain.

Today's press conference was particularly lively. The scene was crowded with reporters, apparently all for Zhang Guan.

The chairman of the Australian Open organizing committee, Telly, looked at the reporters crowded like sardines below, and then looked at the various recording equipment piled up in front of the spokesman as high as a hill, and his face couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction.

"The news of Zhang Guan's participation in the Australian Open is really gimmicky enough, attracting so many reporters at once, and tomorrow this news will definitely be the world's sports headlines! It looks like this wild card is worth it. Terry thought with relief.

At this time, the spokesperson of the Australian Open also introduced the relevant situation, and it was time for reporters to ask questions.

"Does Zhang Guan really want to participate in this year's Australian Open?" The first reporter asked the most relevant question.

The spokesman immediately said, "Yes." Zhang Guan is confirmed to participate in this year's Australian Open. ”

There was a commotion in the group of reporters below.

However, after a brief commotion, a second reporter stood up and asked, "Zhang Guan is a track and field athlete, is he eligible to participate in a tennis Grand Slam?" ”

"Zhang Guan participated in the competition with a wild card, which is in line with the rules of the competition. Another thing I would like to correct is that Zhang Guan is not just a track and field athlete, he is also a professional tennis player, and he has a professional tennis player certificate issued by the Professional Tennis Federation (ATP). Therefore, the Organizing Committee believes that there is nothing wrong with a professional tennis player from the Professional Tennis Federation participating in the Australian Open with a wild card. The spokesman smiled.

Another reporter asked: "As far as I know, at the end of last month, Zhang Guan was already banned, so is it a violation for him to participate in the Australian Open." ”

"No, no, no, no violation at all!" The spokesman shook his head, and then said: "Zhang Guan is banned from the relevant institutions that manage track and field, and Zhang Guan is now participating in tennis competitions, I think the relevant institutions that manage track and field should not have the right to interfere with a tennis player's participation in tennis competitions!" ”

The press conference continued, and no one noticed that in the corner, a reporter was whispering on the phone.

"Chris Goochioni, is that the Men's Doubles player? He's going to break the news? What the? The right to participate in this wild card event was supposed to belong to Gocchioni? Zhang Guan's wild card was bought with money? The reporter felt that he had caught a big fish, and he then asked: "Does that Gucioni have any proof?" There's no evidence, it's just speculation......"

Hearing that it was just a guess, the reporter sighed in disappointment, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Okay, I'll go to this Gucioni for an interview, but I will state in advance that I will not be legally responsible for what he said whether it is true or not." (To be continued.) )
