【1394】The Australian Open
It took Xiao Feng and his party three days to arrive in Melbourne. During these three days, they experienced the beautiful scenery of the South Pacific, felt the style of Australia 6, and even had a carnival with local natives, feeling the charm of travel.
Along the way, Xiao Feng kept taking a lot of wonderful photos on his neck, which attracted many fans to have a strong interest in Australian self-driving tours.
Afterwards, official statistics from Australian Tourism showed that after February 2020, more than 50% of Chinese self-driving tourists in Australia were Xiao Feng's fans, which shows Xiao Feng's huge influence.
To this end, the Australian government also specially awarded Xiao Feng a certificate of honorary citizenship in Sydney to recognize his contributions to the development of Australian tourism business.
Xiao Feng was also amused and crying. His original intention was to share the beautiful scenery and happy mood with his fans, but he never thought that he would accidentally plant willows and willows to form a shade, which promoted the exhibition of Australia's tourism industry to China.
Although Xiao Feng was dissatisfied with the anti-Chinese phenomenon that Australia had, he had to reluctantly accept this honor under such circumstances. People were carrying people in a flower-like sedan chair.
…………
After Xiao Feng arrived in Melbourne, the Australian Open had reached its final stage. The youth group competition, men's and women's doubles and women's singles competitions all won the championship, leaving only the peak showdown in the men's singles final.
The two players who entered the men's singles final are Nadal and Murray, who are also the best male players in the past two years. They have completely surpassed Federer, who is on the verge of retirement and Djokovic, who is in a declining state.
According to the previous trajectory, Nadal was floating and ups and downs after being injured for 12 years and was unable to reproduce the glory before o8 years, but his fate has undergone a huge change here.
After the 2o16 Olympics, Nadal came to the "Ginkgo Village" for treatment. Through Xiao Jinming's acupuncture therapy and the assistance of "Space Spirit Spring", Nadal recovered his health and returned to the peak.
In recent years, he has won 18 Grand Slam titles like Federer. This Australian Open will be an important node for him to achieve his historic breakthrough!
Nadal, born in 1986, is 34 years old this year. The increase in age has made him very hard to maintain his dominance on the court. He plans to retire after this year. Therefore, whether he can become the first person in the history of tennis? Starting this year's Australian Open, every game is of great significance to him!
When Xiao Feng and his party arrived in Melbourne, Nadal, who was preparing for the final battle, could not come to greet him, so he could only entrust his uncle, his coach Tony, to receive Xiao Feng and his party on his behalf, and of course his apprentice Xiao Yu.
During the offseasons these years, Nadal spent most of his time training and treating injuries at the "Ginkgo Base". He also started teaching Yu'er to play tennis last year. Nadal and Tony praised Yu'er's talent!
The Xiao family has recreated Nadal, and Yuer is a good seedling for playing tennis. In recent years, the relationship between the two families has become increasingly close. The tennis school jointly opened by both parties has become the best tennis school in China and even Asia.
Xiao Feng didn't bother Nadal's preparations. After the family settled down, they had dinner in the hotel and rested early.
Although it is quite comfortable to travel by RV and you have a bedroom to sleep in the evening, it is still impossible to compare with the hotel. The family's trip is nearly 12oo kilometers in three days, which is considered physical and mental exhaustion.
The scene of Xiao Feng's family arriving in Melbourne soon spread throughout the world through media reports. Everyone knew that Xiao Feng's family would appear at the Rod Laver Stadium tomorrow to watch the Grand Slam final between Nadal and Murray.
At this time, many of Xiao Feng's fans were discussing what would happen if Xiao Feng participated in a tennis match?
After all, Xiao Feng's athletic talent shown in basketball, golf and skiing is really amazing. In some out-of-the-box videos, we can see that Xiao Feng also has amazing football skills, but the outside world has never seen Xiao Feng playing tennis.
Regarding this topic, it soon became a hot topic in China. After all, there are many keyboard warriors on the Internet in China. In China's weak projects, everyone likes to yy.
It’s a pity that Xiao Feng will not enter the professional tennis world. After all, he is already in his thirties, but he hopes that his son can realize his expectations in the future.
…………
On Sunday, February 2, 2o2o, there was only one last game left at the Australian Open. Whether it was Murray's first Australian Open championship or Nadal's three-round round of the four Grand Slams has become a common highlight for the media and fans.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, more than an hour before the game began, but Melbourne Park had already gathered tens of thousands of fans from all over the world, and the whole park was extremely lively.
After simply having breakfast in the hotel, Xiao Feng and his family came to Melbourne Park with a large amount of picnic food. This place has become a grand picnic place, and everyone tastes the delicious food they bring in the sun.
The Australian Open is not only a tennis match, but also a tennis carnival. It is also an annual festival for locals. Therefore, the place where everyone enjoys happiness is not limited to the courts, the beautiful scenery of the park, the comfortable picnic and various tennis-related entertainment activities are the most exciting essence of the Australian Open!
As it was almost twelve o'clock, Xiao Feng asked Ma Xiaotian and Xiang Wen to take Yu'er to the event organizing committee to report that Yu'er will play Nadal's caddie in the game this afternoon, the role of standing behind Nadal and handing him the ball.
This is Nadal's request, hoping that in the last year of his career, his apprentice would accompany him to complete the four Grand Slam events. Xiao Feng naturally would not refuse.

Yu'er went to the organizing committee to report that Xiao Feng took the elderly and children to continue to enjoy the sunshine and food in the park. The adults were a little restrained, but the children were much more lively.
Nini took her younger brother and sister around the crowd. After a while, she met many new friends, brought them over to taste the food, and got along with these foreign friends.
The language talents of the three little guys, Nini and Ping Ping Anan, are undoubtedly revealed here. They can use six or seven foreign languages fluently and quickly become the core of their children. They can communicate easily with friends from any country.
Soon, the media reporter wandering among the crowd was like a shark smelling blood. He soon came up to interview Xiao Feng and asked him about his views on the finals.
"About the final, Raphael and Andy are the two best players in the world. They will leave their names in the history of tennis. Their victory or defeat is only between the front line!" Faced with the reporter's question, Xiao Feng first praised the two players, but he changed his tone and said: "But I am still more optimistic about Raphael. After all, he has had two winning records on this field. I believe that in his last Australian Open game, he will be able to exert 12o% of his strength!"
The Australian Open is Nadal's Grand Slam event with the least number of championships, with only two, 2oo9 and 2o18, and it won the championship again after 10 years. This shows the high limit on his playing style on the fast hard field.
In the other Grand Slam events, Wimbledon and the US Open won three times, and in the clay court where Nadal is best at, he has won 10 times, and the most recent time is 2019 years after his recovery in form.
Murray's performance in the Grand Slam is naturally not comparable to that of Nadal. After all, he has only two Wimbledon and one US Open in hand, and he will never catch up with Nadal and Federer; however, he was able to successfully defend the Olympic men's singles gold medal, which also created history in the tennis world!
…………
At 12:30, the audience continued to enter the court and waited for the start of the game. Journalists from various media also took their seats to send all the latest news to TV viewers and fans around the world. This is also the first heavyweight event in the international sports industry after the New Year!
After Xiao Feng's family entered the stadium, the seats arranged were in the front row. Behind the players' rest seats, you can not only clearly see the whole game, but also hear the players' breathing and shouting. It is the best position in the entire stadium.
When the event organizing committee heard that Xiao Feng was going to watch the game, they specially left these golden seats for them. After all, the attendance of Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao plays an extremely important role in improving the ratings of the game.
After sitting down, Xiao Feng saw that his son had already changed into a spirited tennis uniform and a white tennis cap. Like other teenagers, he was ready around the court.
Ping Ping Anan immediately shouted excitedly when he saw his brother present, waved his little hand at his brother, hoping that his brother could respond to them.
Yu'er also heard the voices of her younger brother and sister, stood up and waved to her, which made them jump in excitement, and the audience also noticed this detail.
…………
Today is the weekend. The match held at 11:00 am in Peking time (1:00 pm local time in Melbourne) will naturally be broadcast throughout the entire process. Tong Kexin and Xu Yang, two golden partners, appeared in front of the screen on time to explain the game to tennis fans across the country.
When the signal switched to the scene, the two commentators immediately found Xiao Feng's family sitting in the golden seat, and they also felt that a major highlight of this game was revealed.
"Before the game, there was news that Xiao Feng's family appeared in Melbourne Park and was preparing to watch the Australian Open final. Now they really appeared at the final scene and sat with Nadal's coach and family!"
Tong Kexin is worthy of being a veteran commentator. She quickly introduced the rhythm into the competition and began to introduce Xiao Feng and the members of Nadal's team sitting next to him to the audience.
"You can notice that the caddie who is handing the ball to Nadal is Xiao Feng's eldest son Xiao Yu. It is said that he is now a student of Nadal. It is also very meaningful that he appears on the stadium today!"
It has to be said that the knowledge reserves and adaptability of professional commentators are top-notch. After Xiao Feng's family appeared on the screen, they quickly introduced the various ins and outs to the audience, which is quite professional!
…………
After the warm-up, the competition officially began. Both players in the finals are already veterans over 30 years old. Nadal was born on June 3, 1986, and was 11 months older than Murray. They also created the highest age of finals in the history of the Grand Slam!
Before that, 36-year-old Federer won the Australian Open in 2017 and became the oldest champion in Australian Open history. Today, the two veterans entered the finals, which is also a tribute to tennis!
After the game officially started, both sides attacked and defended each other. After all, they were old opponents. Knowing the truth, no one could overwhelm the opponent at the beginning of the game. This was destined to be a long tug-of-war!
Both players were prepared for a protracted battle, both mentally and physically, which made the game more beautiful, and the atmosphere on the scene gradually became warmer.
In addition to watching the game, Xiao Feng also paid great attention to his son's performance. Fortunately, he was not nervous and the caddie played a role very well and was quite well-equipped.
In the stands, in addition to Xiao Feng's family and Nadal and Murray's team, there were many celebrities watching the game, including Australian Pride Nicole Kidman and Wolverine Hugh Jackman, which made the live director's camera frequently turn to the stands.
For the audience, in addition to enjoying the wonderful peak showdown, seeing so many celebrities in the stands is also a benefit.
Every time the camera swept to himself, Xiao Feng waved his hand gracefully, especially during the rest, which attracted warm applause from the audience. After all, Xiao Feng is now a true "global idol"!
In the first two sets, both sides saved their ball games and won each in the tiebreak. The score was 1:1, and both players played wonderfully, which made the fans, sponsors and broadcasters quite satisfied.8
