In an online interview with Hong Kong media after the match, Huang Zelin believed that the key to winning the championship this time was the gradual increase in tacit understanding with his partner Ge Yuan Banu, “I focused on singles at the beginning of this tournament, but unfortunately I didn’t play well and stopped in the top 16, and then resumed it. My mood is dealing with doubles game by game. I think the key to winning is the tacit understanding with my teammates. I didn’t know too well at the beginning, but I was really happy to win in the end. I went to a small city near Melbourne and won the runner-up in the warm-up match last week. The top seed unexpectedly stopped in the quarter-finals, we have been winning and losing, and we have improved our tacit understanding in each game. In the final, we knew each other’s key points, and we played more actively than our opponents. We encouraged each other with every ball.” He also revealed that he had an extra hour of extra training for several days and nights to practice serving hard.
Coleman mentioned that he is very happy that this year’s competition has received attention and support from many Hong Kong people, and he had expected to thank everyone in Cantonese before the competition, “It’s so shocking that so many Hong Kong people are watching me play waves this time, I have never tried it before, Zhongyou TV During the live broadcast, there were also many Hong Kong people waving the Hong Kong regional flag to cheer. I was really moved. From the details to most, I have never seen a Cantonese-speaking player win the Junior Grand Slam, so the night before the game, I had decided to use Cantonese. Thank you very much, everyone always takes the time to watch the live broadcast, and Cantonese is more friendly to Hong Kong people. Just because I love playing tennis, I want to promote tennis to more Hong Kong people.” He said that he hopes to represent Hong Kong in the Hangzhou Asian Games in September. “I really want to participate in every event that represents Hong Kong.”
Immediately following the goal, Coleman revealed that he will return to Spain tomorrow, continue training and rest at the Nadu Tennis School, and will go to Egypt to participate in professional matches during the Chinese New Year. He revealed that after Nadu just finished one of the Australian Open matches, he ran into each other in the restaurant on the court, and was encouraged by the player, “He told me to relax and play, I’m already pretty good, just go out and enjoy the game, because in the future There is still a long way to go.”
After winning two junior Grand Slams in a row after winning the US Open in September last year, Coleman said that in the future, in addition to competing in singles, he also wants to try to challenge the adult competition. Participate in the adult professional tournament as soon as possible. I signed a manager, and he will help me get a lot of wild cards to participate in higher-level adult tournaments to accumulate experience. In fact, winning two Grand Slams has a great boost and proved my level.” Coleman is still studying at Diocesan Boys’ College and is currently maintaining his studies through online teaching materials provided by school teachers. Looking forward to the Year of the Tiger, he hopes to break into the top 300 in the adult world rankings and strive to win the singles event so as to qualify for the Australian Open next year. He also wished Hong Kong people good health and smiles, “I hope the epidemic will pass soon, and I can bring happiness to Hong Kong people with the Grand Slam.”
Mo Junyi, president of the Hong Kong Tennis Federation, said that Huang Zelin became the first player to win two Grand Slams in a row, which is encouraging to other young athletes in Hong Kong. The younger generation is even more devoted to tennis to strive for good results.”
