History is being rewritten.
To be precise, the moment when Gao Wen reached the summit of Flushing, the track of history had already changed. The world split into two roads at a fork and entered another parallel time and space.
But now, the changes are becoming more and more obvious.
Standing in the long river of history that Gao Wen was familiar with, Zhang Ze had indeed created history.
In February 2017, in San Francisco, Zhang Ze won a challenge championship. This is also the first challenge championship trophy in the Chinese men's tennis singles field.
However, it was a challenge match, not even counted as an ATP official level challenge match, and compared with the Grand Slam, the two stages are very different.
According to the original historical trajectory, it was the peak of Zhang Ze's career. He was already 27 years old when he won the championship for the first time, and the ceiling gradually became prominent. The influence of age and injuries also made Zhang Ze's career intermittent. Even the challenges are a bit difficult.
Later, Zhang Ze also left the international arena, and mainly competed in the Challenge and Hope matches held in China to continue his career.
Ranked 154th in the world, and played in the first round of the Australian Open twice in a row in 2014 and 2015, all of that is the "glory" left in the past, like a dream that is too good to be true, but it can never go back.
The Australian Open in 2015 was the last time Zhang Ze participated in the Grand Slam. Although after that, he still participated in the qualifying rounds, but he still failed to break through; and the wild card competition gradually ushered in younger players The shock, that is another scene.
Unfortunately, until the end of the history that Gao Wen knew well, in the parallel world, Chinese men's players were always hard to find a victory in the Grand Slam singles arena.
From Wu Yibing to Shang Juncheng, these younger generation players shoulder the important task of breakthrough.
but!
In the parallel time and space, a tiny butterfly flapped its wings, and then caused a storm at the other end of the earth.
Breakthrough, here it comes.
From 2012 to 2014, from breaking three hurdles in a row in the qualifying round to reversing the first round of the five-set battle, Zhang Ze struggled and faltered all the way, but finally seized his own opportunity and bloomed proudly!
Zhang Ze finally ushered in his own shining moment.
Match point.
When Hewitt returned the ball to the net for the last time, Zhang Ze couldn't believe that everything really happened. The hard work and tension of more than three hours made his knees weak for a while, and he couldn't control his strength, so he fell to his knees On the ground, he buried his head deeply in the palm of his hand and curled up into a ball.
For a brief, very, very brief moment, hot tears blurred vision.
Perhaps, for top professional players, the first round of a Grand Slam is nothing at all. It is as simple as drinking water and eating, and there is nothing to celebrate.
However, for Zhang Ze, it was a full three years of expectations and dreams. He doubted, hesitated, worried, even regretted, hated, and sad. On the other hand, emotions cannot be controlled at all.
A man doesn't flick his tears easily, but he doesn't reach the sad point.
These are tears of happiness.
Zhang Ze curled up into a ball like a hedgehog, hugging his knees, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
At the Rod Laver Stadium, only a sparse crowd was cheering for him. Most of the Australian fans turned and went to the bathroom or even left the stadium directly, refusing the sad scene in front of them. In the ears of the choice, it is the most beautiful symphony in the world.
And it's not just Zhang Ze?
In the CCTV live broadcast room, Zhang Sheng, who arrived in Melbourne Park this year to be in charge of live commentary, was also full of emotions at this time, and his voice was slightly more choked.
"But only when you are really in competitive sports do you know that the layer of window paper looks simple, but in fact it takes two or even three generations of people to pierce it. Sometimes it is even the ceiling, blocking thousands of players. , can never be broken through.”
"For Zhang Ze, it took him three years."
"As for Huaxia Men's Tennis, it took us seventeen years, or even longer."
Last time in Flushing, Gao Wen's breakthrough was so sudden that he jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, so that Zhan Jun and Hu Litao were a little at a loss and couldn't react for a while.
But this time in Melbourne Park, the sense of reality hit the bridge of the nose hard, and even Zhang Sheng, who is usually calm and rational, was inevitably moved.
"Now, from Gao Wen to Zhang Ze, it took us just six months to usher in another breakthrough."
"Tonight, here at Rod Laver Stadium, we're witnessing history together."
Smile, bloom in tears.
Then, Zhang Ze could feel someone patting him on the shoulder.
Raising his head suddenly, Zhang Ze saw Hewitt's outstretched right hand at a glance.
At some point, Hewitt came to this side of the field and extended an olive branch to Zhang Ze.
Looking at Hewitt who was getting old in front of him, Zhang Ze thought of Gao Wen, because Hewitt and Gao Wen are the same, they are both silly dreamers, they still believe in dreams and miracles, and they still live in the dream. Running purely and simply, just because of love.
"You are not alone."
Zhang Ze thought of this sentence again, then held Hewitt's right hand, stood up, and gave the great opponent in front of him a big hug.
In my mind, my heart was surging and turbulent, and a wave of ambition was ignited like this, and finally evolved into a smile on the corner of my mouth, just like this blooming.
The east corner is lost, and the mulberry elm is harvested.
No one expected that this year, China's women's singles field suffered frequent defeats and a downturn, creating the worst record in recent years, but it ushered in frequent successes in the men's singles field!
boom!
Boom boom boom!
The Chinese media and tennis fans immediately swept away the gloom, cheers and shouts showed a blowout trend, the noise and sensation of fireworks celebrations on the social network, and the rolling heat wave spread out in an unstoppable manner.
From the US Open to the Australian Open, the second breakthrough in men's singles came so quickly!
