Open has been inspiring for us to see that the next generation is in good hands.вЂќДЄlthough the lanky 6-foot-1 Zheng is a native of Virginia and resides in Montville, N.J., his parents are also Chinese natives, so like Sheng, he too hopes to help grow the sport in Asia. вЂњSeeing the younger players like Jerry, and others at the U.S. вЂњItвЂ™s a great feeling,вЂ™вЂ™ said Zheng, whose best junior result was winning the USTA National BoysвЂ™ 16 Indoor Championships. Tennis Association wild-card entrant, defeated qualifier Reece Falck of New Zealand, 7-5, 6-1 to earn his first ATP ranking point. In another first-round match, Michael Zheng, 17, a U.S. I first met her when I was 9 in Beijing.вЂ™вЂ™

Also Zheng Shuai (who won two Grand Slam doubles titles), I know her really well and always talk when we have free time. Seeing her do so well put a thought in our minds that we can do it also. вЂњLi Na was a big inspiration for all the Chinese athletes. Hopefully, more players are coming up and I will compete with players from my country. вЂњI trained in China from 5 to 11 years old, and most of the players have talent. вЂњIвЂ™m only 16,вЂ™вЂ™ Shang laughed at following in NaвЂ™s footsteps. Shang, whoвЂ™s 5-foot-11, believes there are several solid junior Chinese male players and that a major breakthrough is imminent. 2 in the world but retired in 2014 at just 32, was an influence on Shang, He relocated to Bradenton at IMG Academy in 2019 where he trains with his father, Yi, and coaches Jimmy Arias and Martin Damm. Na, a two-time Grand Slam champion who reached No. 55 Zhang Shuai, once ranked as high as 23 in 2016. There are five Chinese women ranked in the top 114, led by No. The only Chinese male ranked in the top 500 is Yan Bai at 410. Alcaraz, 18, enjoyed a breakthrough at the U.S. The Chinese teenager, who trains at IMG Academy in Bradenton, is the youngest player to win a menвЂ™s singles title on the ITF tour since Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and Italian Luca Nardi triumphed at ITF events while still only 16. Open junior championships last summer, Shang has won two of five ITF $15,000 events, including in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and last week in Naples where he defeated 21-year-old University of Florida standout Duarte Vale of Portugal in the final.

So, I fought through it and never gave up.вЂ™вЂ™ I lost some patience, but I remembered the same thing happened last week, so I told myself to be patient and that every single point counts, or else in five minutes IвЂ™d be in another third set with him.

вЂњBut the balls got old (and slower)В and he started rallying more so I couldnвЂ™t get winners from the baseline. вЂњThe (clay)В courts are really fast and really suit my game, so I started strong,вЂ™вЂ™ said Shang, ranked No.

It helped that he had also defeated Wenger in a tough, three-set semifinal at last weekвЂ™s ITF Futures in Naples. Shang, aВ sixteen-year-oldВ left-hander with a two-handed backhand, went down an early break in the second set and trailed 1-4 before turning it around. 2 seed, 6-1, 6-4 in a first-round match at the Mardy Fish ChildrenвЂ™s Foundation Tennis Championships, an ITF $15,000 Futures event held annually at The Boulevard Tennis Club. On Wednesday afternoon, Shang, known as Jerry to his friends, toppled the No. 1-ranked junior in the world, is intent on reversing that trend.
