British tennis

Tennis originated in France. In the14th century, there was a game called "handball" in the French court. There is a rope between them, and both sides beat the ball around with their hands. The ball is made of cloth wrapped in hair. The cloth produced in the Egyptian town of tanis is the most famous, and English tennis is probably named after it. /kloc-In the 6th century, parchment appeared. After the sport was introduced to Britain in the17th century, the rope was changed to a net, and the racket was no longer a flat parchment, but an elastic thread was put on, and the court was more formal. After the rise of capitalism in the 18th century, tennis rushed out of the court and gradually developed among the bourgeoisie and citizens. By the19th century, tennis became popular in Europe and America. In 1970s, modern lawn tennis officially appeared. At present, the countries with higher tennis level are the United States, Australia, France, Italy, Argentina, Romania and South Africa, among which the United States is the strongest, especially women's tennis. According to statistics, there are 20 million people involved in tennis in the United States. The world's highest level tennis competition is held four times a year, namely Wimbledon International Lawn Tennis Championship and the US Open. French open tennis tournament; Australian lawn tennis open. These four competitions are individual competitions recognized by the International Tennis Federation, and there are no high bonuses. For example, the men's singles champion at Wimbledon can get a prize of 40 thousand pounds. The official competitions of the International Network include the Italian Tennis Championships and the South African Tennis Championships, as well as amateur tournaments in Europe, Asia and America. Other intercontinental or regional international competitions need the approval of the International Network Association before they can become official competitions. The official team competitions recognized by the international network are: Davis Cup, International Tennis Championship, held once a year starting from 1900; Confederations Cup, women's international team competition, once a year, 1963. There is no bonus in the team competition, and the country participates. 1968, the international network officially allows professional athletes to participate in the competitions under their jurisdiction. 1970, the Grand Prix was established with the support of some large enterprises. The Grand Prix consists of a series of international competitions. Athletes are ranked according to the results of each competition and get corresponding bonuses. The International Tennis Federation was established in Paris, France in 19 12, and now has 69 full members and 32 members. Tennis is loved by people in many countries in the world, especially in Europe and America, and has become an important part of world TV programs. After years of evolution, various styles and schools of tennis have developed to a high level. At present, the development trend of various styles of play is to strive for comprehensive skills and outstanding specialties. Strong force, fast speed, accurate landing point and changeable rotation. The development of forehand and backhand techniques is more and more balanced, and the boosting rotation method is widely used; Attack in front of the net, the bottom line breaks the net, which is difficult and of high quality.

The most regrettable thing is that he did not perform well in the Wimbledon championship, never reached the final, and lost to the later men's singles champion in four semi-finals, so he was called the touchstone of Wimbledon champion.

In 2004, Britain's top player Henman appeared in the Masters Cup for the first time since 1998, but he didn't win any ATP champion this season. As the oldest player in this Masters Cup, Henman's performance has been very stable, and he has entered the top ten at the end of the year four times in the past five seasons.

The 30-year-old Henman scored 16 wins and 4 losses in the Grand Slam in 2004, especially in the semi-finals of the French Open (lost to South Korea) and the US Open (lost to Federer). At the same time, in the past nine years, he has successfully ranked among the top eight in Wimbledon for eight times.

Henman started his 2004 season with the semi-final of Doha Open (lost to Ljubicic), the third round of Australian Open (lost to canas) and the semi-final of Rotterdam Open (lost to Hewitt). In the quarterfinals of the Rotterdam Open, he also made Federer, the world's number one, suffer his first defeat of the season. Later, he defeated Roddick, ranked second in the world, in the quarterfinals of Indian Wells Masters, and finally lost to Federer in the final.

In the 2006-07 season, Henman made outstanding achievements in clay court (65,438+02 wins and 5 losses), and entered the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters (defeated by Shu), the third round of the Rome Masters and the semi-finals of Roland Galos respectively. Therefore, he became the first British player to reach the French Open semi-finals after Mike Sangster of 1963.

After being eliminated in the first round of the Queen's Cup in London (against Baker), she reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon (against Ancelotti). Since then, before reaching the US Open, Henman's hard court record was only 3 wins and 3 losses, but he reached the semi-final for the first time in this project.

In various European indoor competitions, it entered the third round of the Madrid Masters, the quarterfinal of the Basel Open (lost to Novak) and the third round of the Paris Masters.

Evaluation psychology is not stable enough, and it often loses its state suddenly in the most critical game and the most critical moment of the game.

Rusedski used to be a famous server, but now it is almost forgotten. He can get a wild card this year, but the organizing Committee respects his past achievements.

This year's Wimbledon is of special significance to Greg Rusedski, because he will celebrate his 10 Wimbledon year here. Despite long-term pressure from Henman, the Canadian-born tennis player has no regrets about choosing his mother's nationality. Since May 1995, Rusedski's name has been marked with GBR.

Rusedski's best performance at Wimbledon was in the quarter-finals of 1997. At that time, the British had just begun to look forward to this immigrant player, hoping that he could become the first "local" champion since 1936 Perry. However, he lost to Frenchman Piolin in the quarter-finals. Now, Rusedski, who is 33 years old, needs to motivate himself with the "feat" of that year, because this is likely to be his last Wimbledon match. "1995, I came to Wimbledon lawn for the first time on behalf of Britain, and it felt great." Rusedski said, "This will always be one of the best things in my memory. What impressed me the most was the match with Fogarty that I lost to Sampras at the Queen's Lawn Open a few days ago. However, in that competition, he was a seeded player and I was an unseeded player. I lost to him in the first set in only 18 minutes, but then I won three games in a row and won the game with 3- 1.

Murray's song:

Lingkong highway

He walked up and down gracefully.

Look at a newspaper clipping flying in the air

It tells a story.

Trying to beat all his opponents in the final.

Play games in his own way

Become a champion ... He is the one you can write about.

Come on, Andy Andy Murray, sing the wild frontier of Caledonia.

Come on, Andy Andy Murray

One day you can have no fear.

He, I am the king of the central court bathed in cheers.

Here comes the tennis ball ... Murray stands up straight.

Although the court looks big, his racket is small.

When he drove across the volley highway.

Cut and pass like lightning.

At a long point ... Murray held on.

For a generous return

He is a man you can cheer for.

chorus

Now let's count down from Murray Hill.

Go on a date at Destiny's champagne fountain.

Along the way, let this summer

The moment of victory ... excellent ability.

Losers go home alone.

I felt it was time to die ... but I won.

Some things are good.

[Edit this paragraph] Personal data

Every year at the beginning of the grass season, the British will focus on a few local players. This year, the eager British finally waited for another hope. Andy Murray, a Scottish boy of 18 years old, has attracted the attention of almost all British media this week.

Who is Murray? Even on the official website of ATP, except for his birthday in May 1987, it is difficult for us to find detailed information about this British tennis player. This teenager made Britain crazy because he eliminated the ninth seed American Dante in the second round of the Queen's Cup this week. Although Dante is not a first-class player, in the eyes of British media, Murray's victory is earth-shattering. From Reuters to the BBC, from The Guardian to The Daily Telegraph to The Times, almost all news agencies and newspapers in Britain have devoted hundreds to 3,000 words to eulogizing this boy 18 years old. In their reports, almost all of them used "milestone victory" to describe Murray's just-concluded game. The Independent even thinks that "Murray's victory is likely to change the disadvantage of the British on the tennis court". Before Wimbledon, after Henman's disappointing performance again and again, Murray's victory brought some hope to the British, but I don't know if Murray 18-year-old shoulders can carry the whole British dream.

The talented boy who loves to fight with the racket, Murray beat Federer 7-5, 6-4. However, Federer said that he was not surprised, because it was very hard to continue the winning streak in North America, and he expected this day after defeating Gasquet in the Toronto final. "I'm not disappointed. What I'm doing now is unbelievable. So why should we be disappointed when failure happens? " Federer also said that everyone will relax in this way.

What is the yardstick to measure a professional tennis player now? At present, Federer, who ranks 1 in the world, is the yardstick to measure all other ATP players. Who can be called a tennis genius? Whoever beats Federer can be called a tennis genius, just like 200 1 Federer eliminated Sampras at Wimbledon.

On August 16, local time in Cincinnati, USA, in the second round of the Cincinnati Masters with a total prize of 2.45 million US dollars, the top seed Federer lost to British genius Murray 5-7/4-6 and missed the defending champion of the Masters. Murray, who won in May 1987, ended Federer's unbeaten record of 55 games in North America.

In 2005, "Murray Hill" appeared at Wimbledon, and a little girl in England wrote "Marry me, Andy" on her clothes. Of course, this Andy is not andy roddick in America, but Andy Murray in England. Murray has defeated his opponent in three consecutive matches with Henman, the representative of British tennis, and Murray has taken over the banner of the revival of British tennis.

In Wimbledon in 2006, when the English football team lost to Portugal in the World Cup penalty shootout, Murray was having a direct conversation with Roddick on the tennis court. In the end, Murray beat Roddick in straight sets, 7-6(4)/6-4/6-4, the former world number 1. You know, from 2004 to 2005, only roger federer, the new king of Wimbledon, could beat Roddick.

In 2006, Murray won the 1 championship in his career in San Jose, USA. In the semi-finals and finals, Roddick and Hewitt, who ranked 1 in the world, fell behind him one after another. On July 26th, 2006, the famous tennis coach Brad Guibert was confirmed as the coach of British tennis star Andy Murray. Gilbert used to coach American tennis superstars Agassi and Roddick. Under his guidance, Murray ushered in perhaps the most important victory in his career: defeating Federer.

When Murray got the match point, he didn't show any excitement, and he didn't even have any fatigue and pain after playing against the Swiss king. The handshake and mutual appreciation with Federer showed a lot of appreciation from the Swiss eyes, which Federer had only shown to a few people such as Nadal, Berdych and Gasquet before (interestingly, with Murray, these four players were the first when 19 years old. Then Murray sat in his seat and rested for a long time, while Gilbert, the coach who trained Agassi and Roddick, kept clapping on the bench. Is Gilbert a magic coach? After the game, Murray said this: "He believes in me and I believe in him. Our strategy today is correct. He felt very special sitting behind me. He is really one of the best coaches in the world. He said that I could win the grand slam championship and become the world's 1. "
