Chapter 171 Opening the Chinese Season
An Yuexi and Abella returned to Florida immediately after the men's singles finals, and invited their friends from img, as well as domestic young players who had just come to the academy to train last month, to start the game at An's villa.
A barbecue party was held, and the guests and hosts had a great time.
Other friends who are gradually becoming famous are still being slowly eroded by fame and money in New York. They are overwhelmed with various parties, invitations, and interviews, and are even busier than when they are playing games.
After all the entertainment, IMG College held a grand celebration banquet for the new champions and runners-up of the US Open, and the whole school rejoiced.
At the banquet, everyone lamented how quickly time passed. They were almost adults, and their life circumstances had also changed greatly.
Some people become famous and some people stay where they are. They are obviously about the same age.
But no one feels that their whole life is like this. Youth, dreams, and tennis are just the beginning of their lives. Accumulation, overtaking in corners, is definitely not a fantasy!
September is about to pass half way, and An Yuexi’s appointment with Adelaide three years ago is coming soon. Originally, An Yuexi wanted to measure the gap between her and Adelaide before returning to China, but Smith and his img academy have different opinions.
After discussion with the experienced coaches, they decided not to support it.
Because An Yuexi is too young and her bones are in the stage of accelerating growth, the result of eagerness for success is likely to destroy her. What's more, this is the first hard court Grand Slam, and there are two other courses to test whether she is really good.
She has the absolute strength to compete with male players. Perhaps her appointment with Adelaide will come true after she passes the test on clay and grass.
The more important reason is that tennis competition is a competition of the heart. An Yuexi has reached the top of tennis since her debut at a young age. Her mentality and psychology will be violently impacted by adult professional competitions. Will she be like a shooting star, shining for a moment and then accelerating?
come down?
There are too many such examples in the tennis world. Countless talented players quickly became famous and then disappeared from the public. In short, An Yuexi still needs to withstand the test of time.
In particular, her target is the masters of men's tennis. It is not easy to create a miracle in tennis.
However, An Yuexi's victory at the US Open has made the IMG Academy Board of Directors decide to fully support her career and step up cooperation with China Tennis in the coming days. After all, the ambitions proposed by An Yuexi's parents made the IMG Board of Directors unable to avoid being moved.
After a brief gathering with the friends from IMG Academy, Nan Huaijin, Lisa, Lilin, Amy, etc. also flew to Asia to compete with An Yuexi and others.
However, the friends are still playing in the arduous hope competition, and they don’t know when they will be able to upgrade to the challenge arena, and participating in a higher-level professional tour is even further away.
Adelaide failed to win this year's US Open championship as he wished, and was unable to become one of the Academy's directors, but his goal was closer than ever.
In view of Adelaide's excellent performance and potential at the US Open, the Academy has approved his participation in some daily board affairs.
Winning the runner-up at the US Open, Adelaide entered the top 20 in the world rankings. He set his goal in the last few months of this year to reach the year-end finals, which is the first time that the world rankings entered the top eight in the world!
This is an extremely difficult goal to achieve. The level of men's tennis is much higher than that of women's tennis. An Yuexi can be among the top in the world with one or two championships, and even easily reach the top of the world, but she has already entered the top of the world.
It is not easy for Adelaide to enter the top ten. What stands in front of him are mountains that are difficult to climb.
Therefore, after the US Open, the Adelaide team, which was strongly supported by the German National Tennis Association, acted like model workers and efficiently formulated the Asian season competition schedule the next day, and intensified discussions on training plans and tactics.
After the US Open season, everyone has gained a lot of points and climbed up several world rankings. However, if An Yuexi wants to participate in the year-end finals, which only the top eight players can participate, she still needs to achieve good results in the Asian season. OK.
Let’s talk about the points and world rankings of domestic players:
An Yuexi won the US Open and gained a huge 2,000 points. The world ranking suddenly jumped from more than 100 to 18th. She surpassed the former Jinhua No. 1 sister Tang Ruo by 750 points and left Tang Ruo with a mark that she could not catch up to. She became the new leader of Chinese women's tennis.
Tang Ruo, originally the first sister of Jinhua, did not perform well at the US Open this year. She only reached the second round, gained 70 points, and ranked 29th in the world.
Shen Qingqing reached the top 32, gained 130 points, and ranked 45th in the world.

Feng Xiao failed to break through the qualifying rounds and was ranked 173rd in the world.

Next, let’s talk about the rankings of An Yue’s foreign friends:

Japanese player Sakura Fujiwara, at the age of 15, is still fighting in the Hope Race and is ranked 242nd in the world.
Adelaide, 17 years and five months old, reached the US Open final and rose to 12th in the world rankings.
Hollis Martin, 18 years and 3 months old, reached the quarterfinals of the US Open and rose to 18th in the world rankings.
All tennis players are aiming for the last important season of this year and continue to fight for world rankings and huge prizes.
BSP; Ru An Xunxi, Hannah and other top 100 players in the world participated in the international tour held by Guangzhou, Seoul, Seoul, South Korea, and Tokyo, Japan on the 21st this month. Warm-up for Wuhan Super Five and China Open Crown Tournament.
The first three stops are international tour events with less points and are only regarded as warm-up matches. The last two are the most important. If An Yuexi and Hannah want to compete in the year-end finals, then in addition to these events, no one will be left behind. In addition to achieving good results, he also has to intensively choose to participate in the two tournaments after the China Open, including Hong Kong and Tianjin.
