Three minutes a day, knowing about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Monday, February 3, 2025, and welcome to listen to the afternoon newsletter brought to you by "Home of Tennis".

This morning, Beijing time, Russian star Dmitry Medvedev, who played in Rotterdam, announced before the game that Simon, a Frenchman who became his coach in February last year, will leave his team after the one-year cooperation expires this month. "The collaboration with Simon has not had the desired results, especially in terms of results. We didn't win Grand Slams or anything like that, but I learned a lot of new things about tennis and that will definitely help me in the future. Some fans believe that the main reason why the two parted ways was that Mr. Mei, who was hoping to win the championship, stopped in the second round of the Australian Open and went out early.

Let's get back to the field. This morning, Beijing time, the ATP 250 Montpellier station came to an end, and the No. 2 seed and Canadian star Aliassime narrowly defeated the American dark horse and qualifier Kovacevic 6-2 6-7(7) 7-6(2) to lift the championship trophy. This is the FAA's second singles championship this season and the seventh overall career championship.

The doubles final was between the two Dutch pairs, with Van der Shanchop/Hasse winning the title 6-7(7) 6-3 10-5 in the deciding set.

Women's Field: In the WTA 500 Linz singles final, fourth seed Alexandrova of Russia stepped up in the deciding set to defeat fifth seed Yastremska of Ukraine 6-2 3-6 7-5 to reach the final for the third time. It was the fifth singles title of her career and the highest-level title to date.

WTA 250 Singapore: Second seed and Belgian Mertens put in a stellar 6-1 6-4 win over American Ann Lee to reach the top of the tournament for the first time in more than a year after Monastir 2023. It was the ninth Tour singles title of the Belgian's career.

Doubles final: China's Wang Xinyu/Zheng Saisai collapsed in the second set and lost 5-7 0-6 to second seeds Klotzke/Olmos.

Let's go back to this week's event. Last night, Beijing time, the singles draw table for the WTA500 Abu Dhabi station was updated. China's Yuan Yue will face this year's Australian Open junior champion and Japanese girl Hachika Sonobe in the first round, who has made her WTA debut after making her WTA main draw after successfully qualifying. The game will be played today at 5 p.m. CST.

Finally, let's guess and recognize. The picture below is the back of a player. Can you recognize who she is without prompting?

In the last guess, the golfer gave the correct answer. That's right, the person in the picture is the Chinese teenager Shang Juncheng.
