刚刚获得奥运会冠军的郑钦文开始了连续四场比赛的艰苦征程,并于本月早些时候在她的家乡武汉公开赛上获得亚军。
由于疲劳和左腿轻微的肌肉拉伤,“文女王”做出了艰难的决定,退出了上周的宁波公开赛,正式结束了她本赛季的中国赛程。
但22岁的郑钦文出色的表现——在中国网球公开赛上进入半决赛,并进入武汉网球公开赛决赛——足以确保她第一次获得下个月著名的WTA总决赛的资格。
在一个平行的故事情节中,同样来自湖北武汉的11岁女孩李梦晓正在追逐自己的网球梦。梦晓在中国网球协会U12女单排名第41位,距离年终冠军的资格还有1300多分的差距。但这位充满希望的年轻人计划再参加几场比赛,并决心缩小差距。

武汉网球公开赛是连接两代中国网球运动员的盛会。当郑钦文在球场上拼搏时,梦晓就在她身边——每场比赛都是她的球童,近距离地看着她家乡的英雄在她的职业生涯中创造了又一个里程碑。
今年早些时候,梦晓观看了郑钦文在澳网女单决赛中对阵萨巴伦卡的比赛。在武汉公开赛上,两人再次交锋,她有机会更近距离地观察郑。
“我学到了很多关于顶级球员在比赛中如何调整的知识,尤其是当他们不在最佳状态的时候。例如,郑会在回到球场前给自己打气,而萨巴伦卡在输掉一局后会休息一下换衣服。”
萨巴伦卡最终以6-3、5-7、6-3的比分险胜郑钦文,连续第三次夺得武汉女子冠军。

继郑钦文在奥运会上夺冠后,网球热席卷了中国,尤其是武汉和湖北,引发了人们对网球的兴趣激增。网球训练中心已经被咨询淹没,设备销售飙升,武汉公开赛的兴奋达到了新的高度。
作为本赛季的最后一项WTA 1000赛事,刚刚结束的武汉公开赛打破了单日门票和总门票销售的记录。收入超过2500万元(352万美元),与2019年相比增长了4.88倍,超过18万观众参加了比赛,比五年前增长了80%以上。
比赛还通过球员访问学校和招募球童和球女来激发当地年轻人的兴趣。
打了五年多网球的梦晓被选为球童。作为一名观众,她曾观看过澳大利亚网球公开赛和中国网球公开赛,她一直很欣赏球童在球场上的犀利和泰然自若。
因此,当她的家乡锦标赛开始招募时,她毫不犹豫地让父母帮她报名。

经过两轮严格的选拔过程和8天的集中训练,梦潇在86名官方球童中获得了一席之地。离开父母10多天的经历给她留下了深刻的印象。
除了观察顶级选手如何在比赛中调整策略外,梦晓还加深了对网球规则的理解,结交了许多和她一样热爱这项运动的新朋友。“有些球童是我在过去的比赛中遇到的对手。在场上,我们是对手,但在场外,我们是朋友,”她说。
梦晓和郑还有一个共同点:她们都在同一个教练手下训练。梦晓已经跟随余丽桥训练了四年多。余是1983年五运会女单冠军,退役后一直在湖北执教,曾执教过多次大满贯得主李娜和郑钦文。
