Based on the above requirements, Coach Smith remade the competition and training plan.

The two Crown tournaments in the United States are mandatory events, and because the schedule of the two Crown tournaments is too intensive, according to convention, the players will choose any one of them to participate. What Coach Smith means is that An Yuexi can just go to Indian Wells.

(Miami Crown Tournament has always been disliked by female players). After winning the championship, he returned to Jincheng to prepare for the clay court French Open. By the way, he participated in the challenge match of the Fanyin Club.

Coach Smith sent the adjusted itinerary to Anxu and his wife. The couple only asked them to pay attention to safety. There is a lot of trouble in the United States now, and people are dying every day.

After training in China for half a month, the group flew to Indian Wells, a small town in California, the United States.

As soon as I came out of the airport, I saw the streets full of banners, dirty water, gunpowder smoke and iron railings. From time to time, I could hear the sound of shotguns. Many armed demonstrators and police wearing body armor were shouting loudly, as if they were crazy.

This open tournament is of a very high level, and high-ranking male and female players will participate. Therefore, you can see several tennis stars carrying golf bags at the airport.

But everyone was frightened by the current situation in the United States. It was like arriving in Syria, Iraq and other small countries where wars were ongoing. They quickly got in the car and left for fear of being affected by stray bullets.

An Yuexi sat in the car and took one last look at the chaos behind her. She felt that a small town could be so chaotic. The United States was really chaotic, extremely dangerous, and extremely unsuitable for survival.

The Indian Wells Crown (Masters), also called the BNP Paribas Open because of its investors, has been the highest-level professional event in the past three months, with top players arriving one after another.

The tournament is divided into men's and women's singles and doubles, with 96 singles and 32 doubles pairs respectively, and will last for a week and a half.

The top 32 seeded singles players will receive first-round byes, which means that including qualifying and wild card players, a total of 64 players will participate in the main draw.

In the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, the qualifying round ended the day before the main draw, and a total of eight qualifying main draw players were decided.

The next day, the main match begins.

The racial struggle and demonstrations of beating, smashing, looting and burning in the United States have been protracted and will not end for a long time. All games are still arranged during the day to ensure that spectators watching the game will not be frightened or have their lives threatened.

Indian Wells is not a Grand Slam level tournament and there is no mixed doubles competition. An Yuexi and Xiao Yichuan can only play singles. A certain girl felt that time passed too slowly.

Therefore, as the second seed in the tournament, An Yuexi received a bye in the first round and advanced directly to the second round. She swept all the way and even bloodbathed her opponents until the top 16 in the third round.

On the eve of the third round of the men's and women's singles, this long-standing event, which had only a small number of spectators, encountered strong resistance and bomb threats from demonstrators and was forced to suspend it.

Not only tennis, but also the three major ball sports in the United States have been restricted by extremely bad incidents. With the help of the tournament organizing committee, all participating players had to quickly leave the United States, where regional wars broke out, and go to other countries to compete or take a break.

.

Everyone came to compete in a hurry and left in a hurry before finishing two rounds.

Some players asked on the website how points and bonuses are calculated. You know, except for top players who are not short of money, many players rely on the bonuses from this game to cover travel expenses and hotels.

The tournament organizing committee did not respond immediately. After two days of silence, it made a promise that points would be calculated based on the round entered, and the overall prize money would be reduced to 30%. This was still calculated based on the round entered a few days ago.

The statement from the Indian Wells Organizing Committee and even the US Tennis Association has been indignant and opposed by the players. Forget the points, why should we only give a small amount of the bonuses we deserve? Who should we give away?

This farce scandal was not only treated in the tennis world, but also in basketball, baseball, football and other professional sports. It caused an uproar in the sports world. Financial and economists from various countries also took advantage of the heat and used various arguments to predict that there was a serious problem in the U.S. economy.

The problem is rotten at its roots...

An Yuexi and Uncle Xiao returned to China together, and they both said that going abroad to compete this time was a risk with their lives, and they would never do it again. Fortunately, there was no danger.

Several events in the United States have been suspended, but there is still one month left before the European clay court season. What should we do?

The players went through all the event schedules of this year's ITF, ATP and WTA and found that several clay court challenges in China were about to start. Obviously, the prize money of the challenge is more than that of many tours. It is not too late to register now.

It just so happens that we can't play the double match in the sun, so it's better to switch to the clay court season as soon as possible.

With this idea in mind, most players have signed up for three consecutive clay court challenges held in China, not only for points but also for generous bonuses.

The first stop is the Jincheng Tennis Challenge, which starts on March 16. It is divided into men's and women's singles and doubles. The total prize money exceeds 2 million US dollars, which is close to the level of the Super Five. This is great for many of the top 100 players in the world.

Money temptation.

Therefore, the top 100 players in the world who signed up to participate directly filled up all the main draw and qualifying spots, making the outside world dumbfounded.

It's like a dream to have so many big-name players participating in a small challenge.

As the largest shareholders of Fanyin Tennis Club, Anxu and his wife are not lenient in spending money. Not only did they upgrade the hotel where the players stay to a five-star hotel, but even the volunteers responsible for event services were carefully selected.

Describe the level of the referees who come to judge.

Of course, it is impossible for gold and silver medal level referees to come to referee the challenge, but several bronze medal level referees are still invited.

The level of the Jincheng Tennis Challenge is not low, with 128 points being the highest in the challenge. However, there are only 32 lottery slots for the main draw and 64 for the qualifying round.

After the top 50 players in the world saw the lottery of this magnitude, many big-name players felt that it was insulting to participate in the qualifying round. They announced their withdrawal not long after registering. The remaining players were mostly top 150 players in the world.

, they need bonuses to maintain their lives.

It has been two days since the Indian Wells tournament was suspended, and there are still three days to prepare for the tournament. Players who want to compete have flown to Asia.

Because there are more than just Jincheng challenges in China, the clay court challenges in Anning and Zhuhai in a few days will be the choice of more players, and the bonuses are also generous.

The China Tennis Association, Fanyin Tennis Club shareholders and ITF leaders held a meeting at the Jincheng Tennis Association Pavilion.

The person in charge of the itf originally thought that the Jincheng Challenge would have so much prize money to attract players with a minimum of 200 yuan to participate. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. The Indian Wells Crown and the Masters could no longer go ahead, which brought great challenges to this challenge.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
