Though Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen didn't walk away with the title, she left her hometown of Wuhan with her pride intact, because for the first time in a decade, fans witnessed a Chinese player in the final of the Wuhan Open.虽然奥运冠军郑钦文没能夺冠，但她还是带着骄傲离开了家乡武汉。这是十年来，球迷们第一次目睹中国选手闯入武汉网球公开赛决赛。It was a milestone moment for the sport in the region.这是该地区网球运动的一个里程碑时刻。On Sunday night, in front of a packed house at the Optics Valley International Tennis Center in Wuhan, Hubei province, the 22-year-old and No 5 seed battled relentlessly for 2 hours and 40 minutes. Despite saving two match points, Zheng fell to top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka, 3-6, 7-5, 3-6, in a hard-fought contest.10月13日晚，湖北武汉光谷国际网球中心座无虚席。22岁的赛会5号种子郑钦文鏖战2小时40分钟。尽管郑钦文挽救了两个赛点，但最终还是以3-6,7-5,3-6的比分输给了头号种子阿丽娜·萨巴伦卡。Zheng's run marked a breakthrough Chinese season, in which she consistently shattered her previous records at WTA 1000 events. After making her first semifinal at the China Open, she went one step further in Wuhan, reaching the final. Her runner-up finish now stands as the best result by a Chinese player in the tournament's history.郑钦文的成绩标志着她在中国赛季取得的突破，她在WTA1000赛事中不断刷新自己的记录。在中国网球公开赛上首次闯入半决赛后，郑钦文在武汉更进一步，闯入了决赛。她获得的亚军是中国选手在该项赛事历史上取得的最好成绩。"I'm happy to have reached the final," Zheng said after the match.郑钦文赛后说：“我很高兴能进入决赛。”"While the result wasn't perfect, I gave the best performance I could today. I'm incredibly grateful to the fans who came out to support me," she said, adding that she had been battling a fever throughout the tournament and had to take medication before the final.“虽然结果并不完美，但我今天已经尽力了。我非常感谢来到现场支持我的球迷们。”郑钦文透露，整个比赛期间她一直在发烧，不得不在决赛前服药。Sunday's match was Zheng's fourth meeting with Sabalenka, following encounters at the 2023 and 2024 US Open and the 2024 Australian Open, all of which Sabalenka won in straight sets.13日的比赛是郑钦文与萨巴伦卡的第四次交锋。此前，郑钦文曾在2023年和2024年的美网以及2024年的澳网比赛上与萨巴伦卡交手，萨巴伦卡均直落两盘获胜。Throughout the final, Zheng struggled with her serve, tallying eight double faults and landing just 42.3 percent of her first serves. However, she managed to take a set off Sabalenka for the first time.决赛过程中，郑钦文在发球方面表现不佳，出现8次双误，一发得分率仅为42.3%。不过，她还是首次成功从萨巴伦卡手中拿下一盘。Broken first in the second set and down 0-3 in the third, Zheng displayed remarkable poise, clawing her way back — perhaps a sign of her growing maturity after winning Olympic gold.郑钦文在第二盘先被破发，第三盘又以0-3落后，但她表现出了非凡的镇定，奋力扳回一局，这或许是她在赢得奥运金牌后日渐成熟的标志。"I played better today than the last time we met, and I've identified areas for improvement," Zheng said, rating her performance a modest "five or six (out of 10)".“我觉得今天比赛起码做得比上次好，我也看到了一些自己不足、需要改进的地方。”郑钦文说，“我觉得还是可以给自己打一个五六分吧。”"The silver lining is that with each match, I feel I'm getting closer. Next time, I hope it's not just a closer score, but that I can surpass her."“值得庆幸的是，每一场比赛，我都感觉自己是有所进步的。希望我下一次不仅仅是接近，而是可以超越她。”Since the Wuhan Open began, Zheng has become a major draw, with her matches consistently filling the stands. She has rewarded her fans with one stellar performance after another.武网开赛以来，郑钦文就成为了一个重要的吸引点，她的比赛一直让看台座无虚席。她用一场接一场的精彩表现回报了她的球迷。Wang Tao, general manager of Wuhan Culture Tourism Group Sports Development Investment Co and co-tournament director of the Wuhan Open, said ticket revenue this year exceeded 2019 figures by more than fivefold. By the time the quarterfinals were played, over 100,000 spectators had watched the event.武汉体育发展投资有限公司总经理、武网联合赛事总监汪涛表示，今年的门票收入比2019年超出了5倍多。截至1/4决赛打响时，已有超过10万名观众观看了比赛。"Following Zheng's gold medal win at the Paris Olympics, her profile has soared both domestically and internationally. This year, 46 percent of attendees traveled from outside Wuhan — a record proportion for the tournament," Wang said.汪涛介绍：“在巴黎奥运会上夺金后，郑钦文的国内外知名度急剧上升。今年，46%的观众来自武汉以外的地区，这一比例创下了赛事的最高纪录。”Chinese women's tennis players have made a significant impact at this year's Wuhan Open. In the semifinals, Zheng triumphed over 23-year-old Wang Xinyu, marking the first all-Chinese semifinal in WTA 1000 history. It was Wang's debut in the semifinals of a WTA 1000 event.中国女子网球选手在今年的武汉网球公开赛上大放异彩。在半决赛中，郑钦文战胜了23岁的王欣瑜，这是WTA1000赛事历史上第一场全中国选手参加的半决赛。这也是王欣瑜首次打进WTA1000赛事的半决赛。"Reaching this milestone alongside Wang shows that China has exceptional players, and our level of play has advanced significantly," Zheng said.郑钦文说：“跟王欣瑜一起有这么一个里程碑，这就说明中国有很好的球员，我们现在的水平比以前更高。”Zheng's runner-up finish in Wuhan further solidified her position in the race to the WTA Finals, where she currently ranks seventh. This strong showing gives her a promising shot at qualifying for her first-ever WTA Finals, set to be held in Saudi Arabia in November.郑钦文在武汉获得的亚军进一步巩固了她在WTA总决赛中的地位，目前她在总决赛中排名第七。郑钦文的强势表现让她有希望首次晋级将于11月在沙特阿拉伯举行的WTA年终总决赛。Zheng's China season might not be over just yet, as she and her team are considering participation in the Ningbo Open, scheduled from Monday to Sunday in Ningbo, Zhejiang province.郑钦文的中国赛季可能还没有结束。目前，她和她的团队正在考虑参加10月14日至20日在浙江宁波举行的宁波网球公开赛。intactadj. 完整的；未受损伤的shatterv. 打破；粉碎runner-upn. 第二名，亚军poisen. 沉着，镇定tallyv. 得分；合计

Catherine, David and Matt discuss both matches and the talking points from both tournaments, including how Zheng is viewed in the locker room, Coco Gauff's 21 doubles faults in the semi-final, and whether Novak Djokovic can ever rediscover the edge he needs to beat Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. There's also a rant about both finals being scheduled at the same time and Matt lauds Tomas Machac.

During this year's National Day holiday, sports events across China, including those in Beijing and Shanghai, have been seen igniting public enthusiasm and spurring local consumption, reflected by ticket sales and retail figures from the tourism and catering sectors.今年国庆假期，从门票销售量以及旅游餐饮业的零售数据中可窥见，包括北京、上海在内的全国各地的体育赛事点燃了公众的热情，刺激了当地消费。The "Village Super League" soccer tournament in Guizhou province and the three-day Jinshajiang River Regatta held in Yunnan province drew large crowds, further igniting public interest in sports. The World Table Tennis China Smash was held between Sept 26 and Sunday in Beijing, with ticket sales standing at some 60 million yuan ($8.5 million).贵州的“村超”足球赛和云南为期三天的金沙江（国际）帆船赛吸引了大量观众，进一步激发了大众对体育的兴趣。WTT中国大满贯赛于9月26日至10月6日在北京举行，门票销售额达6000万元（约850万美元）。Among the standout events was the China Open, an ATP 500 and WTA 1000 hard court tennis tournament held in Beijing, which began on Sept 23.诸多赛事中，最引人注目的是9月23日起在北京举行的中国网球公开赛，这是一项WTA1000和ATP500级别的硬地网球赛事。This year, the China Open attracted around 300,000 visitors, a 50 percent increase compared to last year.今年，中国网球公开赛吸引了约30万名观众，较去年增长50%。The event generated over 80 million yuan in ticket sales revenue, up 60 percent year-on-year. By Tuesday, all tickets for the event had been sold out, and more than 29,000 attendees showed up on Wednesday alone.赛事门票收入超过8000万元，同比增长60%。截至10月1日，中网门票已全部售罄，仅10月2日一天就有29000多人到场。The event also attracted about 140,000 tennis fans from outside Beijing and over 13,000 international visitors.赛事还吸引了约140000名外地网球爱好者和13000多名国际游客。The tournament's success has been fueled by the rising prominence of Chinese tennis players, including 21-year-old Zheng Qinwen, who made history at the Paris Games as the first Chinese athlete to win an Olympic women's singles gold medal.这项赛事的成功得益于中国网球运动员的崛起。其中，21岁的郑钦文在巴黎奥运会上创造历史，成为第一位赢得奥运女子单打金牌的中国运动员。At the China Open 2024, Buyunchaokete became the first Chinese man to reach the semifinals, further boosting national interest in the sport.在2024中国网球公开赛上，布云朝克特成为第一位闯入半决赛的中国男子选手，更加激起国人对这项运动的兴趣。Tennis legend Novak Djokovic, who returned to the Rolex Shanghai Masters after five years, praised the growing success of Chinese tennis players during a visit to support Chinese junior players from the ASICS Junior Tennis Tour.网球传奇人物诺瓦克·德约科维奇时隔五年重返上海劳力士大师赛，他在参观ASICS亚瑟士青少年网球巡回赛时，对中国青少年球员表示了支持，并赞赏了中国网球运动员日益取得的成功。"I've been on the tour for more than 20 years, and Chinese women's tennis players have always been successful globally," Djokovic said. "It's great to see Chinese men's tennis emerging, and I'm enjoying this new trend."“我已经在赛场上20多年了，在国际舞台上，中国女子网球一直都非常成功。”德约科维奇说，“现在中国男子网球在网球界已经掀起了一波浪潮，这是我很高兴看到的。”Beyond tennis,the China Open also spurred the local retail and catering industries.赛场之外，中网还带动了当地零售和餐饮业的发展。Mo Tianfei, manager of the tournament's official retail store, said it had sold over 10,000 products on Tuesday alone.中网赛事官方零售店经理莫天飞介绍，仅10月1日一天就售出了1万多件商品。"Some items sold out, and we had to rush production to meet demand," Mo said.“有些商品已经售罄，我们不得不赶工生产以满足需求。”莫天飞说。Sales of the tournament's new mascot—Azhong—were particularly strong, which increased 50 percent compared to last year.中网新吉祥物“阿中”的销量尤为火爆，与去年相比增长50%。Catering at the event also saw a significant uptick. Catering sales exceeded 10 million yuan by Friday, with a 30-40 percent increase in on-site revenue.赛事期间，餐饮业也有大幅增长。截至10月4日，餐饮销售额已超过1000万元，线下收入增长30%-40%。The China Open continues to gain popularity among younger audiences, with most fans under 40, including 800 to 1,000 international visitors daily.中网持续受到年轻观众的欢迎，大多数球迷年龄在40岁以下，其中包括每天800到1000名的国际游客。Liang Xi, a local fan, spent 1,800 yuan on tickets for her family. "We came to support my 13-year-old son, Li Liangxinqi, who served as a ball kid last year. This year, he's excited to watch his favorite players like Jannik Sinner and Zhang Zhizhen."当地球迷梁熙花费1800元为家人购买了门票：“我们是来支持13岁的儿子的，他去年担任了球童。今年，他很开心能够看到扬尼克·辛纳和张之臻等他喜欢的球员。”Jiang Yiyi, deputy dean of the School of Sports, Leisure and Tourism at Beijing Sport University, highlighted the broader economic impact of sports events.北京体育大学体育休闲与旅游学院副院长蒋依依强调了体育赛事对经济的广泛影响。"Sports events play a key role in driving tourism consumption and enhancing a city's global image," Jiang said. "Building strong events, teams and players is essential to sustaining this momentum."“体育赛事在拉动旅游消费、提升城市国际形象方面发挥着关键作用，”蒋依依表示，“打造高水平赛事、团队和选手对于保持这一势头至关重要。”The eighth ATP Masters 1000 event of 2024 at the Rolex Shanghai Masters is being held from Wednesday through Oct 13 in Shanghai, including top-ranking players Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev.2024年第八届ATP1000大师赛——上海劳力士网球大师赛将于10月2日至13日在上海举行，参赛选手包括顶级球员扬尼克·辛纳、卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯和亚历山大·兹维列夫。spurv. 激励；鼓舞uptickn. 小幅增加；上升prominencen. 声望；杰出semifinaln. 半决赛

"Queen" Wen reigned ruthlessly with a smooth sail into China Open's third round, raising expectations for a deep run in her home WTA premier tournament.“女王”郑钦文轻松晋级中国网球公开赛第三轮，观众对她在此次主场举行的WTA赛事中的表现充满期待。Roared on by a capacity crowd at the Diamond Court in Beijing's National Tennis Center, red-hot favorite Zheng Qinwen started off her campaign at the WTA 1000 tournament with ease as she demolished Russia's world No 71 Kamilla Rakhimova 6-1, 6-1 in 75 minutes to cruise into the round of 32 at China Open on Saturday.9月28日，在国家网球中心钻石球场观众的助威声中，炙手可热的郑钦文在中网WTA1000赛事中轻松开局，75分钟内以6-1、6-1大比分击败了世界排名第71位的俄罗斯选手拉希莫娃，顺利晋级中国网球公开赛女单32强。It was Zheng's first match played on home soil, since her monumental win in the Olympic final in Paris, at one of the country's biggest tennis courts, where spectators cheered from the edge of their seats for each of Zheng's winners on a rainy night.这是在巴黎奥运会上历史性夺冠后，郑钦文的本土赛事首秀。比赛场地是中国最大的网球场之一，观众们在雨夜中为郑钦文的每一场胜利欢呼雀跃。After falling in the opening round to Elena Rybakina at her tournament debut last year, Zheng's much improved mental strength, underlined by her resilient gold-winning Olympic campaign in Paris, as well as her recent surging momentum have boded well for a deep run at this year's China Open, where several top contenders, including world No 1 Iga Swiatek, have withdrawn.在去年中网女单首轮负于莱巴金娜后，郑钦文在巴黎奥运会上顽强夺金的经历体现出她心理素质的极大提高，近期她的势头正猛，预示着其将在今年的中国网球公开赛上大展身手。今年中网，包括世界排名第一的斯维亚特克在内的几位顶尖选手都退出了比赛。Rakhimova, who lost in the final qualifying round on Tuesday, managed to enter the 96-player singles main draw in Beijing as a lucky replacement of former US Open champion Emma Raducanu, who withdrew due to a foot injury, yet proved vulnerable facing the ferocious attack by Zheng.24日，拉希莫娃在资格赛最后一轮失利，但前美网冠军拉杜卡努因脚伤退赛，她便以幸运落败者身份晋级中网正赛。然而，面对郑钦文的猛烈攻势，拉希莫娃无力招架。"I am really satisfied with my performance today. Hopefully I could keep going as far as I could at this tournament so that you could watch me play more," Zheng said to the rousing crowd at the Diamond Court after her win on Saturday.28日夺冠后，郑钦文对钻石球场的观众们说：“我对自己今天的表现很满意。希望这届能够打久一点，让大家能多看我一点。”"I feel like I haven't played in such a comfortable environment for a long time. I really appreciate for an amazing crowd who came to support me today," said the 21-year-old world No 7.“我好久没有打过这么舒心的比赛了，非常感谢今天前来支持我的观众。”这位21岁世界排名第七的选手向观众致意。reignv. 统治；盛行demolishv. 摧毁；推翻monumentaladj. 里程碑式的；宏伟的ferociousadj. 凶猛的

Tennis at the Paris 2024 Olympics has ended with historic gold medals for Novak Djokovic, Zheng Qinwen and Aussies Matt Ebden and John Peers, plus so many other memorable winners and stories -- Storm Hunter and John Fitzgerald join the podcast to re-live an incredible tennis event at Roland Garros, while looking forward to the North American season.

Ben and Tumaini reunite to discuss all that happened in the Olympic tennis events, and a bit in the wider Olympics as well. We start with the biggest story, which was Novak Djokovic, who has won everything else there is to win in tennis multiple times, finally claiming an elusive gold medal. At 37, with everything complete, could be the right time for him to retire on top? We also discuss his peers Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, and how these Olympics served as farewells for them as well in different ways. We discuss the doubles, and the tension between favoring singles guys over doubles specialists, the surprisingly spicy flameouts of the American women, the triumph of Zheng Qinwen over Iga Swiatek and then winning gold, and the romcom-ready magic of mixed doubles. We also discuss the Olympics more widely and where tennis fits in, and how this event affirms tennis' place on the top tier of the sporting world.  Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

One of our more international podcasts as tennis coach Calvin Betton joins us from the Rogers Cup in Montreal, James Gray from the Olympics in Paris and George Bellshaw... still at home in London. They discussed... Novak Djokovic exacted revenge on Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday and ‘completes tennis' with Olympic gold. He is just the fifth player to complete the career golden slam, joining Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal, Steffi Graf and Serena Williams and first man to win gold without dropping a set, although it was pretty close in the final. Zheng Qinwen became the surprise women's champion, beating in-form Donna Vekic. Zheng had an eventful tournament: she retired Angelique Kerber, ended Iga Swiatek's Roland Garros winning streak and had a fall-out with Emma Navarro after which it became clear that basically no-one seems to like her. Iga Swiatek barely spoke after semi-final defeat to Zheng, says she cried for about six hours after defeat but did come back to win bronze. Andy Murray's career is finally over, beaten by Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul in the Olmypic men's doubles.
