Chapter 82 is ranked tenth in the world

Although the Australian Open match is over, Zhang Guan did not leave Melbourne immediately, and he still has some follow-up matters to do, such as holding a special press conference, accepting some media interviews, participating in the official post-match publicity activities held by the Australian Open, and sponsor Qiya has also prepared a brand promotion event for Zhang Guan to participate.

The next morning, Zhang Guan held a special press conference, and then hurried to a university in Melbourne to attend the inauguration of a Confucius Institute. In addition to Zhang Guan, Sister Na also participated in this ceremony.

"Zhang Guan, I haven't had time to congratulate you, our country's first singles Grand Slam champion, you can have a treat when you go back!" Sister Na said with a smile.

"Why wait to go back, please do it here!" Zhang Guan also responded with a smile.

"Here? It was too late, booked a plane for tomorrow night. As you know, the center's funds are relatively tight, and the other team members have already gone back, if I hadn't made it to the top 16, I'm afraid I would have gone back a long time ago. Sister Na's voice changed, and then she said: "When you return to China this time, you will definitely receive all kinds of commendations, and you will definitely be received by the leaders of the Internet Association at that time, why don't you do me a favor." ”

Zhang Guan knew that Sister Na was a straightforward character, so he said: "Sister Na just say it directly, you're welcome." ”

"I'd like you to help us mention the 'solo' thing." Sister Na spoke.

"So that's it." Zhang Guan immediately nodded and agreed: "No problem!" But next year is the Olympic Games, if you really want to fly solo, I'm afraid it will be after the Olympics! ”

"If this can happen after the Olympics, then I'm thankful! I've been waiting for so many years, and it's not too late! Sister Na continued: "You are not cultivated in the tennis system, and there are some things that you must not know. At the 2002 Asian Games in Busan. Our tennis project collapsed across the board, and a lot of problems were exposed at that time. At that time, in Southeast Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea and even Thailand, tennis was already professional, and we were still working behind closed doors, and I remember that at that time, I couldn't play 10 tournaments a year. ”

"It's only 10 stops, so few?" Zhang Guan frowned. The 10 tournaments are really pitiful in tennis. For example, athletes of Federer's or Nadal's level participate in about 15 to 20 tournaments a year, which is a relatively normal number, while "model worker" Davydenko can play more than 30 tournaments a year.

I only heard Sister Na continue: "At that time, I retired in a fit of anger. As you know, tennis is a highly professional sport, and if you want to improve your level, you can only participate in more competitions, but with this management model, we can't participate in a few games a year, so how can we improve our level. ”

Zhang Guan nodded yes. Professional tennis is a very expensive sport, and the cost of transportation alone is a huge expense.

"By the way, your situation is different from ours, do you want to hand over the bonus this time?" Sister Na's voice changed and then asked.

Zhang Guan thought for a moment and said, "I'm still ready to turn it in." I'm not an athlete trained in the system, but I have to contribute to the development of tennis. ”

"Then I'm afraid you'll have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars." Sister Na continued: "We have to hand over 65% of our words. 30% is the Sports Development Fund of the Tennis Association; 10% to the guarantee fund of China All-Trust Sports Foundation; 25% is for coaches. Speaking of which, I make more money, and my coach is your brother Jiang. Every miller draws water to his own mill! ”

"That's a lot! If you fly solo in the future, you will definitely lose money if you pay so much. Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"It would be best if I didn't pay it!" Sister Na continued angrily: "But if you can really fly solo." I can accept it if I pay about 10% every year. ”

Zhang Guan thought about it carefully, after Jinhua flew solo in the future, the bonus would be paid at a rate of 8%, but the commercial development income, that is, the advertising endorsement income, would need to be paid at 12%.

"Sister Na's future worth. Millions of bonuses are nothing, and hundreds of millions of advertising endorsements every year are the big ones. 8% of millions and 12% of hundreds of millions are incomparable, so the tennis center is also shrewd enough. Zhang Guan thought with a smile.

It was also on this day that the ATP officially announced the new edition of the world rankings. The top two remain Federer and Nadal. Roddick rose to third place with his impressive performance at the Australian Open, while Davydenko dropped to fourth. It was followed by Blake, Robredo, Gonzalez, Ljubicic and Ancic, with Zhang Guan in 10th place with 2,000 points.

At the same time, the three major clubs also commented on the final of the Australian Open.

Reuters: Zhang Guan won his first Grand Slam prize with a brilliant victory over defending champion Roger Federer, 6-4, 7-6, 6-3, and it is worth mentioning that Zhang Guan did not drop a set at the Australian Open, becoming the first player to win a Grand Slam title without dropping a set since the 1980 French Open. At the same time, Zhang Guan also ranked 10th in the ATP world ranking with 2000 points from the Australian Open championship, and he is also the first tennis player in the world to enter the top 10 in the world for the first time with a world ranking.

However, Federer equalled Crawford's record of seven consecutive Grand Slam finals, with Federer's current Grand Slam final record at 9-2, and his second defeat in a Grand Slam final other than last year's French Open final defeat to Nadal. Federer's opponent Zhang Guan also became the fourth player in history to win a Grand Slam without losing a set, the last time was at the 1980 French Open. And to achieve such a feat at the Australian Open, it can be traced back to Roswell 36 years ago.

AP: Zhang won his first Grand Slam trophy without dropping a set, beating Federer 3-0 in the final, ending Federer's streak of three Grand Slam titles. Zhang Guan also became the first Asian Grand Slam champion, and the world ranking of 10th will also set a new benchmark for Asian men's tennis. At the same time, a U.S. Open championship also marks Zhang Guan's successful transition from track and field to tennis, and he can achieve the top achievements in two different major events, which also means that Zhang Guan has become a real "crossover" athlete.
