With the end of the United States Championship, another season comes to an end.
From the 2013 to 2014 season, the six championships found their respective owners. Both the men's team championship and the women's team championship belonged to UCLA.
The men's singles championship and runner-up were also won by the University of California, Los Angeles, and the men's doubles championship was won by the University of Tennessee; the women's singles championship belonged to the University of Virginia, and the women's doubles championship was taken home by the University of Alabama.
It is worth mentioning that the women’s singles champion Danielle Collins later moved to the professional arena and also achieved many good results, including the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 2019 and the semifinals of the French Open in 2020. , a career-high ranking of twenty-three.
Obviously, this is also a representative who has transferred from the NCAA to the professional arena and achieved good results.
Obviously, the Bruins, who had won three championship trophies, became the biggest winners of the season. When the men's and women's teams returned to Los Angeles hand in hand, they were given a grand treatment with a championship parade on the Westwood campus, and bustling crowds came one after another. Celebrating the team making history.
carnival! Party! Noisy! Dance!
Bloom freely!
Sing your heart out!
The entire campus has evolved into a carnival stage, where wantonness and publicity bloom unreservedly in the sunshine of youth!
That afternoon and evening, Thompson was wild.
As a senior, Thompson has decided to officially turn professional after the season, but no matter what, his college life is about to come to an end, and to be able to end with a championship trophy, Thompson is happy and sad, and beer is like drinking Water poured down his throat like a gurgling sound.
If the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk.
Then Giron officially told his teammates that after the season, he also decided to enter the professional tour. As for whether to return to campus in September, we still have to see his results in the next three months, but what is certain now is that he has already Get ready to hit the professional arena.
This also means that Geelong may not return to the Bruins.
The guy from Seer burst into tears with a "wow" sound, which made Jilong's eyes turn red.
In fact, tennis is an individual sport, and the team spirit is relatively weak, but college is different after all. The teammates who are fighting side by side are about to go their separate ways, and the sadness and loss of parting flood into my heart.
Then Thompson hugged Giron and started pouring wine, celebrating winning the championship and wishing for a bright future. Bremmer and Sale also silently cheered, pouring one cup after another into their stomachs, grabbing the tail of youth and letting go.
Because they all know that once they become professional players, they may not be able to indulge like this.
As the hero of the championship, Gawain was naturally not left behind and became the target of siege without a doubt.
But before Gawain had time to perform well, his teammates fell down one by one. He was able to overwhelm himself, which was also an ability, so that Gawain couldn't be so presumptuous and started to clean up the mess in a depressed manner.
Here Thompson is still vomiting while holding the toilet, there Geelong climbs up to the bar like a fool to sing and dance, then Macdonald accidentally hugs the pillar to express his heart, Gawain keeps spinning like a top, there is no time to drink ?
These guys!
Things don't seem to be like this, right?
After the celebration carnival, MacDonald was in a trance for nearly a day before he came back to his senses; Thompson was so lively that it had no impact, but he could not remember anything; and Giron also said that he had no memory, but did he really not remember it or not? Selective amnesia is unknown.
The joy and happiness of being a national champion only lasted less than forty-eight hours because... final exam week came.
Only then did they remember that their first identity was students. Compared with tennis, they still had professional studies to complete. Then they all started to get busy. Life didn't seem to have changed much, and calmness returned in the blink of an eye.
After nearly three weeks of busy work, Gawain finished all the final exams and was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
After a little leisure, Gao Wen began to plan for his summer challenge on the professional tour. This is undoubtedly a very important thing.
Every year, the ATP and WTA schedules are regular. January to March is the Australian season, which revolves around the Australian Open.
April to June is the European season, which revolves around the clay court season at Roland Garros and the grass court season centered around Wimbledon.
June to August is the North American season, surrounding the U.S. Open hard court season.
September and October are the Asian season, and all major competitions are gathered in Asia.
The last November is the European indoor season, and it ends with the year-end finals, ending the entire year's schedule.
It can be seen that the following summer will be the North American season.
Beginning in 2004, the U.S. Tennis Association designed a warm-up tournament series around the ultimate major Grand Slam event in the North American season, known as the "U.S. Open Series" to help players gradually adapt to the North American climate and adjust their condition. Eventually leading all the way to the US Open stage.
The entire "US Open Series" includes six men's ATP events and five women's WTA events. The ATP events enter the series one week earlier than the WTA events.
Taking this year as an example, the Atlanta Tennis Championship begins on July 14th, and continues until the U.S. Open on August 25th. The six tournaments have different levels of season, and professional players often Freely choose your participating combination.
Currently, ATP professional events are divided into five levels.
The first level, the Grand Slam, has two thousand championship points, and there are four Grand Slams throughout the year.
The second level, the Masters, has a championship score of one thousand points, and there are ten competitions throughout the year.
The third level, the Gold Tournament, has a championship score of 500 points, so it is also called the "500 Tournament".
The fourth level, the Tour, has a championship point of two hundred and fifty points, so it is also called the "Two Hundred and Fifty Tournament".
Among them, the Gold Tournament and Tour Tournament will also be divided into some level types based on the prize money of the event, but overall, the points level remains the same.
The fifth level is the challenge competition, and there is also the hope competition.
Strictly speaking, the Challenger League is the lowest level event in the ATP. There is another level classification system based on championship points and match bonuses. The best level of Challenger League, the championship points are 125 points.
The Hope Tournament is not an ATP event, but an ITF event——
To put it simply, the ITF is responsible for organizing national competitions, as well as youth competitions, so the main participants in the Hope Games are also teenagers.
The Hope Tournament is divided into levels based on competition prize money. The highest level Hope Tournament champion can also receive ATP points, but only 35 points.
In the "US Open Series", the first and second weeks are tour tournaments, also known as the "Two Hundred and Fifty Tournament"; the third week is the Gold Tournament, also known as the "Five Hundred Tournament".
The fourth and fifth weeks are the Masters, which are also important tournaments where all the top players gather; the sixth week is the tour, and finally the seventh week is the Grand Slam.
Naturally, how to reasonably participate in the US Open series is also an issue that every player needs to consider.
