04 A young player shines at the Australian Open 一、时文语篇文本阅读 正文 A young player shines at the Australian Open 商竣程惊艳澳网 At the recent 2023 Australian Open, 18-year-old Chinese player Shang Juncheng made headlines (头条新闻). In his Grand Slam debut (首秀), he reached the second round of the men’s singles (单打比赛). This made him the first male player from the Chinese mainland (中国大陆) to win a main draw match at the Australian Open in the Open era (公开赛时代). “It was the first Grand Slam event in which I have played as an adult, so that made it very special,” Shang told China Daily. “Competing against the top players means I can learn a lot. Their performances and the way they think, on and off the court (球场), are totally different to those of junior players.” What Shang has learned are not only physical skills but also mental strength (精神力量). “Tennis is a sport that doesn’t end with a tie,” he said. “Sometimes you can lose your temper (发脾气). But a good player can count on his mental strength to stay calm (冷静的) and think positive (积极的).” Shang has been building this strength since childhood. Starting from around 5 years old, he played many sports with his parents, who were also once athletes. From this, he got the idea of “never giving up”. “You always stand a chance until the game is over,” he said. “(It’s) the most basic idea of every athlete ... No matter how talented an athlete is, it takes a lot of time for one to build up.” 无注释版版 A young player shines at the Australian Open At the recent Australian Open, 18-year-old Chinese player Shang Juncheng made headlines.
