Chapter 356: Enticement of full slam
Regarding Zhang Guan's victory in the French Open, a certain media reported this way,
The French Open, one of the four Grand Slams, entered the most exciting finale stage in Paris. The world's second-ranked Nadal and the world's 15th-ranked Zhang Guan met at Philippe Chatie Stadium. After three hours of fierce battle, Zhang Guan scored 7-5/6-4/6-4. He defeated Nadal and broke Nadal's monopoly on the French Open. Nadal also regretted that he lost the chance of three consecutive French Open titles.
The 15th-ranked player in the world who won the Grand Slam may be considered a dark horse, but after watching yesterday's game, I believe no one thinks that Zhang Guan is a dark horseplayer. In the Australian Open final at the beginning of this year, Zhang Guan defeated Federer and won the Australian Open title, while in the French Open semi-final, Zhang Guan defeated Federer again. He defeated Federer twice and Nadal in the final. Zhang Guan told the world with his strength that he was not a dark horse.
Zhang Guan's ranking in the world was not because of his poor strength, but because he participated in too few games. So far he has only participated in two ATP events, namely the Australian Open and the French Open. The champions of these two events also brought Zhang Guan 4000 points, which is enough to make Zhang Guan rank third in the world.
However, after the game, Zhang Guan made another amazing move, he claimed to get a full slam this year!
Seeing this news, the author was instantly relieved, and the author had to say that the Zhang Guan, who we are familiar with, was back. Always set yourself with an impossible goal, and then walk step by step to success, Zhang Guan has always been like this. The 100-meter champion of the Athens Olympic Games, the six-game winning streak of the two events of the Golden League, and the seven gold medals at the Asian Games... Maybe we can expect that on the September 9th US Open final, Zhang Guan can get tennis Full Slam!
...
The news media the next day was filled with news of the French Open finals. The foreign media is also a sports headline, while the domestic media had the same headline.
On Monday morning, as soon as he went to work, Director Liu hurried to the General Administration of Sports. He held a thick stack of A4 paper in his hand, which was the written report of the French Open game.
"Director Liu, came early in the morning?"
"Director Liu came early today!"
"Director Liu, have you eaten breakfast?"
Along the way, Director Liu will always meet some familiar people and greet him, and Director Liu in a very good mood is also a cheerful look. When he sees everyone, he can't wait to say a few words, and then tell everyone that Zhang Guan won the championship.
"This is not the job of reporting to the director. Zhang Guan won the French Open last night!"
"Zhang Guan won the Grand Slam championship? No, no, not the last one, the last one was the Australian Open, this time it was the French Open."
"Yes, yes, the live broadcast on the sports channel. What? Did you not watch the game last night?"
"Yes, the national flag was raised last night. I will tell you, once the national flag is raised. It will always be there!"
Director Liu told the good news to everyone he knew.
Some young people don't know Director Liu, and they can't help but start to sound.
"Who is this person? Is it ours? Why haven't I seen him before?" a young man asked.
"He is not ours. He is Director Liu of the Tennis Center. Last night, Zhang Guan seemed to win the French Open, so he came to report early in the morning. Nominally, it's reporting, but you know he here to show merit." The man went on to say, "Let's talk about Director Liu's luck this year. He picked a king who has won two Grand Slam titles. It is estimated that after the Olympics next year, he's sure to be promoted, it is not impossible to transfer to our headquarters at that time."
The young man nodded, and then said, "I heard, however, that the Tian Xie Center who let go of Zhang Guan, and didn't allow him to go to the track and field competition..."
"Participate in track and field competitions? Hang on! Look at Director Liu's posture, how willing he is to let Zhang Guan participate in track and field competitions! It is estimated that now is the enthusiasm of this French Open champion to do work for the director." And then said, "But after all, Zhang Guan played tennis, which was a big loss to the Athletics Center. Maybe Zhang Guan might not participate in this year's Athletics Golden League, and this year's Athletics World Championships and the end of September if we don't even participate in the Golden Championship of Track and Field held in our country, we will have to rely on Liu Feiren to support the scene.
...
Soon after, Director Liu saw the deputy director again.
The Secretary looked through the report material of this year's French Open and nodded from time to time. He was very satisfied.
After a long time, after reading the materials, the director raised his head and asked, "Director Liu, is Zhang Guan the second grand slam he got? Is it two miles from the last slam you said last time?"
"Yes, there is still a Wimbledon champion and a US Open champion." Director Liu immediately replied.
"When will the Wimbledon and the US Open start?" the Secretary then asked.
"Wimbledon starts at the end of this month, and ends in early July; the US Open starts at the end of August and ends in early September." Director Liu replied.
"That said, it's only three months, this is soon..." The Secretary said while weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Wimbledon and the US Open both have conflicts with the Athletics Golden League in-game time. If you want to get a slam, you have to give up the final millionaires in the Athletics Golden League; if you want the millionth prize in the Golden League, it is necessary to give up the subsequent Wimbledon and US Open games.
"You can't have both fish and bear paws! You can only fish or bear paws." The secretary sighed.
Which of the million prizes in the Grand Slam and Athletics Golden League are fish or bear paws? The answer is obvious.
What's more, Zhang Guan has already won two million prizes in the Athletics Golden League, but Zhang Guan has never won a Grand Slam, so a million prizes in the Athletics Golden League can only be regarded as the same as the original. The results of tennis, and the slam of tennis, can be regarded as creating history for the country's sports career. The choice between "maintaining the lead" and "filling the gap" is undoubtedly the latter.
If there is no French Open champion, the deputy director may still have some hesitation when choosing. After all, it is still a little far away to take only one Australian Open champion from the Grand Slam, but now Zhang Guan has two Grand Slam championship, he has succeeded in half of the full slam, plus the domestic media's unanimous praise, so even the deputy director feels that Zhang Guan is very hopeful that he can get a tennis Full Slam.
The deputy director said, "I will ask the secretary's office to draft notice for a while. You take it back and tell Zhang Guan to participate in the next tennis game with peace of mind, striving for a full slam and winning glory for the country! As for the track and field events, if he doesn't want to participate, please don't."
Director Liu nodded and said, "Okay, it's just over the Tian Xie Center..."
"After a while, I will ask the office to send the notice to the field management center." The deputy director said.
