Today’s U.S. Open broke a big upset. The world’s 237th-ranked Baodao male player Xu Yuxiu beat the Australian player Kokinakis (Grand Slam Men’s Doubles title) in 4 sets in the first U.S. Open match of his career. Thansi Kokkinakis, who welcomed the iconic victory of his professional network career, can be called the inspirational representative of “a big chicken crowing slowly”.
The 24-year-old Xu Yuxiu, who was influenced by his grandma when he was young, was exposed to tennis. He started playing in a club and his grades gradually improved. However, due to the limited financial conditions of his family, he was different from many young players who went abroad to practice early. He did not coach at Kaohsiung Xinzhuang High School until he was 16 years old. With the help of Chen Junwei, he went abroad to compete.
2017 became the year when Xu Yuxiu made his name. Accompanied by coach Zhang Xiaoyong, he successively won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open Junior Men’s Doubles Gold Cup, writing a new page in Taiwan tennis, which also established his turning point. career goals.
Xu Yuxiu, who has turned professional, is not as well-known as the “night market kings” Zeng Junxin and Wu Donglin who are similar in age, but he has worked hard quietly. He has gradually climbed up from the top 1,000 in singles, and the level of competition has ranged from ITF events with low points and bonuses to ATP. In the Challenger League, he won his first singles title in the ATP Challenger Tournament in Sydney in November last year, becoming the 6th Taiwan male player to win the ATP Tournament.
At the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, Xu Yuxiu won 3 games in a row outside the game, breaking into the Grand Slam for the first time in his career; he returned to Taiwan to defend his home game in the Davis Cup in February, and he and He Chengrui broke down Hong Kong opponents by 6 match points in doubles. The performance of the drama reversed the victory, and became the hero of the Chinese team’s qualification to participate in the world’s first-level promotion competition next year.
Before the U.S. Open, Xu Yuxiu won the men’s team, men’s doubles and mixed doubles gold medals at the Chengdu World Universiade. With 3 gold medals, he moved to New York. Kokinakis broke the big upset on the second day.
Xu Yuxiu’s victory at the US Open made him the third male player in Taiwan to win a Grand Slam after his tennis predecessors Lu Yanxun and Wang Yuzuo. In the next round, he will face Cameron Norrie, the 16th seed of the conference and the British “big brother”.
