Djokovic defeated Alcaraz and advanced to the Australian Open semi-finals, where his opponent will be Zverev, ranked second in the world. The match will take place on January 24th, and CCTV will broadcast this event live. Djokovic accepted an interview with host Correll, discussing the semi-final against Zverev. Djokovic mentioned that he has a promise with Zverev, stating that as long as he has not retired, Zverev will let him win at Grand Slam events. This promise brings endless imagination to the world and suggests that Djokovic's relationship with Zverev is not ordinary. You can think whatever you want. Regardless of the outcome after this promise, it is beautiful. Using such playful and relaxed words to subtly express his confidence in victory. Djokovic is very humorous, and such interviews are very interesting. Djokovic can maintain excellent technical skills in the tennis world for a long time, which is not only due to his talent but also the result of his long-term hard and systematic training. Who will make it to the final? If Djokovic can defeat Alcaraz, he can also defeat Zverev. Zverev has more weaknesses and is easier to deal with. At this stage of the game, everyone is tired. As for playing against Sinner, the outcome doesn't matter anymore. Stopping Alcaraz from winning his fifth Grand Slam is already a great victory. The semi-final against Zverev may be easier than playing against Alcaraz. Although he is limited by his physical condition, the chances of winning against Zverev should still be higher. He serves fiercely, but Zverev's play lacks…

Sorry, Zheng Qinwen, I've made it to the Australian Open quarterfinals again with a 6-1 and 6-2 victory.

World No. 2 German star Alexander Zverev once again demonstrated his formidable competitive prowess at the Australian Open men's singles quarterfinals, defeating world No. 11 American player Tommy Paul with a score of 7-6(1), 7-6(0), 2-6, 6-1, marking his third time advancing to the Australian Open semifinals.

The 27-year-old German player showcased his tenacity throughout the match, particularly during the crucial tiebreakers where he was impeccable. In the first and second set tiebreakers, Zverev fully exploited his advantages, winning with overwhelming scores. However, as the match progressed, Zverev faced strong challenges from Paul, especially in the third set when Paul managed to claim a set, intensifying the tension of the match. After the match, Zverev commented, "I should have been trailing in two sets; he clearly outperformed me while I didn't play well." He emphasized his state in the fourth set, stating, "The fourth set was definitely my best performance; I'm thrilled to be back in the semifinals." This will be Zverev's ninth time reaching the semifinals of the four Grand Slam events, making him the active player with the most appearances in the semifinals without having won a Grand Slam title. In the upcoming matches, he will face either ten-time champion Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz, which will once again test his abilities and mental fortitude. There was a minor incident during the match that caught the audience's attention: at a critical moment, a feather fell onto the court, causing Zverev to make…

On January 21st, Beijing time, two matches of the women's singles quarter-finals at the Australian Open were concluded first. Sabalenka defeated Pavlyuchenkova 2-1, and Badosa eliminated Gauff 2-0. As a result, Sabalenka and Badosa met in the semi-finals, while the No. 3 seed Gauff was eliminated early, ending her 11-match winning streak across seasons. Gauff, the No. 3 seed, faced Badosa, the No. 11 seed. They had previously played six times, with each winning three matches. Before the match, Gauff was more favored to advance, having won nine consecutive matches at the start of the year and 13 consecutive matches across seasons. However, Badosa proved her strength in the match. In the first set, both players held serve for the first ten games, reaching a 5-5 tie. Then, in the eleventh game, Badosa achieved a crucial break, followed by holding serve in the twelfth game, winning the set 7-5. In the second set, there was a battle of breaks, with Badosa breaking three times and Gauff twice. The key break in the eighth game gave Badosa a 5-3 lead, which she maintained by holding serve in the tenth game, winning the set 6-4 and the match 2-0, surprisingly eliminating Gauff.

When it comes to the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in the tennis world, people often first think of legendary players like Nadal and Federer. Their greatness is reflected not only in the number of Grand Slam titles they have won but also in the way they achieve victory and their attitude towards defeat. Now, Djokovic stands at the top of history with his record of 24 Grand Slam titles, seemingly uncontroversially becoming the central figure in this topic. Despite his achievements that others can only aspire to, Djokovic has yet to become the "GOAT" of the tennis world. Djokovic's achievements on the court are undoubtedly among the best in history. However, in the eyes of foreign media, to become the "Greatest of All Time (GOAT)," one cannot simply rely on court honors; personal charm and character are equally important criteria. So, why might Djokovic never be called the "Greatest of All Time (GOAT)"? Before discussing the reasons, let's look at Djokovic's career achievements. He has won 24 Grand Slam championships, a feat that currently tops the men's tennis rankings, surpassing his competitors Nadal and Federer by 2 and 4 Grand Slams respectively. Clearly, Djokovic's achievements are remarkable. On the court, he is almost invincible, with strong baseline combat capabilities, agile movement, and precise serving... These technical advantages make him a difficult opponent to beat. Djokovic's performance in matches is nearly perfect, so does his personality and character reach such a level of "perfection"? The label "GOAT" implies not only being unbeatable in terms of achievements but also representing character,…

After a disappointing early exit in the singles round at the 2025 Australian Open, many Chinese tennis fans were left wondering if Zhang Zhizhen could redeem himself in the doubles competition. Despite the initial setback, Zhang proved that the doubles court was where he truly shone this year. His hard-fought victory, which took two hours of intense play, not only secured him and his partner Mahachi a spot in the round of 16 but also reignited hope for Chinese tennis enthusiasts who had faced repeated disappointments. Zhang's journey at the Australian Open was akin to an emotional rollercoaster. His early exit from the singles event, facing top international players, highlighted the technical and psychological challenges he encountered. It was no surprise, considering the relatively short history of men's tennis in China compared to global powerhouses. The pressure on Zhang, as the "number one" player in Chinese men's tennis, was immense. He had previously achieved significant moments in singles, including reaching the second round of a Grand Slam and ranking among the world's top 100. However, when pitted against high-level opponents, his performance often fell short, revealing vulnerabilities. Yet, Zhang did not let these shortcomings define him entirely. The inconsistencies in his singles game might be more indicative of psychological development and match experience than a lack of ability. The disappointment of losing in the first round of singles was quickly overshadowed by Zhang's resurgence in the doubles arena. His thrilling comeback victory, with scores of 5-7, 6-4, 6-4, was not just about impressive technical skill but also a psychological battle…

The Australian Open tennis tournament is currently underway, and fans are closely following the performance of China's top female tennis players. Among them, 35-year-old Grand Slam doubles champion Zhang Shuai is receiving significant attention. Zhang has won two Grand Slam doubles titles in her career, demonstrating her considerable talent. Fans hope that she will maintain a steady approach and give her all to prove herself in this competition. Zhang Shuai, partnering with Meladonovic, defeated the fifth-seeded pair of Chan Hao-ching and Kichenok with scores of 7-6 (3) and 6-2. This marks Zhang's return to the women's doubles quarterfinals at the Australian Open after six years, her tenth time reaching the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam doubles event. In the quarterfinals, they will face the top seeds Siniakova and Townsend. The match lasted 103 minutes before a winner was decided. Fans have been impressed by Zhang's fiery form in this tournament, particularly as she has made history by advancing to the women's doubles quarterfinals at the Australian Open after six years. For Zhang, it is an impressive feat to sweep past the fifth seed and reach the quarterfinals. Now, an Asian women's tennis legend has emerged, and that is Zhang Shuai. It is hoped that she can seize this opportunity. Sweeping the No. 5 seed in 103 minutes! 35-year-old Zhang Shuai makes history after 6 years, Asian women's tennis legend emerges. While Zhang has had excellent performances throughout her career, there are still challenges and shortcomings she must overcome if she wants to win the women's doubles title at this year's…

The Australian Open has entered its ninth day of competition, with the matches gradually reaching their climax. Currently, only Zhang Shuai remains from the Chinese contingent, with both the women's doubles and mixed doubles teams advancing to the quarterfinals. The women's doubles match has already concluded with a disappointing exit, leaving only the mixed doubles competition. In the women's singles event, there have been several upsets. The sixth-seeded player, Elena Rybakina, lost 1-2 to American player Madison Keys. It was unfortunate that in the first and third sets, Rybakina had the advantage of serving first but failed to capitalize on it. Keys played exceptionally well in the first and third sets, leaving Rybakina with little room for a comeback. Rybakina was the first of the top four players to drop out due to her poor health, which has led to frequent withdrawals from tournaments. Her level of play has been inconsistent, capable of defeating anyone when at her best but struggling against even lower-ranked opponents when not. Just one day after Rybakina's exit from the Australian Open, Goran Ivanisevic announced that he would no longer serve as her coach. He stated, "After the end of the trial period at the Australian Open, I wish Elena and her team all the best for the future." Ivanisevic had previously revealed that his goal was to help Rybakina make more use of her strong serve and baseline game to come to the net more often and finish points. Although the results at the Australian Open were not ideal, there were moments of brilliance.…
