Time flies, and before you know it, a new week has arrived. This week the plants will welcome the arrival of the spring equinox with great foliage, telling us that the bright spring has arrived. Here, on behalf of all colleagues in "Tennis Home", please allow the author to express a warm blessing to netizens: I believe that in this warm spring, you will reap happiness and happiness on your own life path.

Yesterday, in the final of the Shenzhen Challenger, Guo Hanyu defeated You Xiaodi in straight sets and won his first championship in the 2025 season. It should be noted that this is also Guo Hanyu's second victory over You Xiaodi after seven years. With the victory, Guo's instant world ranking rose to No. 315, which is close to her best world ranking.

It's a pity that at the Lu'an Hope Tournament, Chinese men's tennis players were not so lucky. Although three players have withstood the test of qualifying and made it to the main event, this result is far better than the result of the Maanshan Hope Tournament qualifying. At that time, only one Chinese player was able to stand out from the Ma'anshan Hope Qualifying Tournament at a time.

However, in the first round of the first round, Zheng Qinwen's sparring partner Xiao Linang unexpectedly lost to German qualifier N Ehrenschneider. His defeat seems to suggest that the Chinese athlete will face a huge challenge on his way to winning the championship. In this round of the game, the three Chinese players who broke through from the qualifying round were all defeated, and the cold data told fans that the foundation of Chinese men's tennis players is not stable at present, and too many Chinese players still need more training, more understanding, and more motivation to get more room for improvement.

Fortunately, Zhang Tianhui and Lu Pengyu, who played with wild cards, both defeated their opponents, and their victories also gave fans hope for the future of Chinese men's tennis. Mo Yecong, Bai Yan and Cui Jie also won the victory, and their presence allowed the Chinese men's tennis players to still have the hope of winning the championship at the Lu'an Hope Tournament.

Unfortunately, there was a compatriot derby in the second round, which caused the Chinese men's tennis players to lose another big player in the civil war. And Lu Pengyu was beaten out of the game by British player Oliver Crawford, who has reached the final of the Challenger five times, in two sets in a row. Objectively speaking, he paid a valuable tuition fee for his youth and inexperience. Although Bai Yan, Cui Jie and Zhang Tianhui all won, there were only three Chinese men's tennis players left in the quarterfinals.

In the quarter-finals, Oliver Crawford only allowed Zhang Tianhui to win three games in two sets. And Bai Yan in the fierce battle with Zheng Hyun, either due to physical exhaustion, or perhaps due to other reasons, he dragged his opponent to the seventh set in the first set, and actually ate a duck egg in the second set. While watching his opponent advance with his head held high, Bai Yan's dream of winning the championship for two consecutive weeks also turned into Nanke's dream.

At this moment, fans who follow the Chinese player are all focused on Cui Jie, who defeated his opponent in the quarterfinals and successfully advanced, becoming the only Chinese men's tennis player who is still in the Lu'an Hope Tournament. It's a pity that in the semifinals, Zheng Hyun defeated Cui Jie in two straight sets. In this way, the South Korean men's tennis player who has reached the semifinals of the Australian Open has defeated Zheng Zhan, Bai Yan and Cui Jie, three Chinese men's tennis players, in the Lu'an Hope Tournament. He not only extended his winning streak with Chinese men's tennis players to eight matches, but also made the Chinese men's tennis players' dreams of winning the Ma'anshan and Lu'an Hope Championships come to naught. It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time that a Chinese men's tennis player failed to reach the final in the Chinese season of the Hope Tournament. Fortunately, there is still a long way to go, and Chinese men's tennis players still have a chance to achieve good results, so let the author wish them well on behalf of all fans.

A lot of times, the world of tennis is really just a teahouse. In this teahouse, there are many, many tea customers who have been here for a long time, and some of them have become quite famous. However, there are always fledgling tea drinkers who come here and look forward to tasting the sweet tea with their own efforts. And the author is just a small scholar in the corner of this teahouse who tells the stories of these tea customers in obscurity. I hope my article can bring some fresh information to all fans. Whether it's compliments or criticisms, maybe it's just to be able to get me far. That's it for today, and it continues tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
