Chapter 216 After reaching the summit
With the end of the national championship game, another season came to an end.

In the 2013-2014 season, the six championships found their respective owners, and 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 taken by UCLA, 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 (Danielle-Collins) later turned to the professional arena and also achieved many successes. The quarter-finals of the 2019 Australian Open and the semi-finals of the 2020 French Open , a career-high ranking of 23.

Obviously, this is also a representative who has turned from the NCAA to the professional arena and achieved good results.

Obviously, the Bruins, which won three championship trophies, became the biggest winner of this season. When the men's and women's teams returned to Los Angeles, they were treated grandly by the championship parade on the Westwood campus, and the bustling crowds came one after another Celebrate your team making history.

carnival!party!noisy!dance!
Bloom wantonly!

Sing to your heart's content!

The entire campus has evolved into a stage for a carnival, where wantonness and publicity bloom unreservedly in the sunshine of youth!

Thompson was wild that afternoon and night.

As a senior student, Thompson has decided to officially turn professional after the end of the season, but no matter what, his college life is about to come to an end, and Thompson is happy and sad to be able to end with a championship trophy. Beer is like drinking Water poured down his throat like a splash.

Alcohol is not intoxicating, people are self-intoxicating.

Then Giron officially told his teammates that after the end of the season, he also decided to enter the professional circuit. Get ready to hit the professional arena.

This also means that Giron may not return to the Bruins.

That guy Saier burst into tears with a "wow", which made Jiron'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 fought side by side are about to go their separate ways, and the sigh and loss of parting come to my heart.

Then Thompson hugged Jiron and started to drink, celebrating winning the championship and wishing a bright future. Bremer and Sale also booed silently, pouring one cup after another into their stomachs, grabbing the tail of youth.

Because they all know that once they become professional players, they may not be able to indulge like this.

As the hero who won the championship, Gao Wen was naturally not left behind, and undoubtedly became the target of siege.

But before Gao Wen had time to perform well, his teammates fell one by two, and being able to pour himself down was also a kind of ability, so that Gao Wen couldn't be presumptuous, and started to clean up the mess in a depressed manner.

Here Thompson is still holding the toilet and throwing up, there Geelong climbed up to the bar like a fool to sing and dance, and then MacDonald accidentally hugged the pillar to express his heart, Gawain is spinning like a spinning top, there is no time to drink ?

These guys!

That's not how it should be, is it?

After the celebration carnival ended, Macdonald was in a trance for nearly a day before he came back to his senses; Thompson was so alive and well that it didn't affect him, but he didn't remember anything; and Giron also said that he had no memory, but whether he really didn't remember or Selective amnesia is unknown.

The joy and happiness of the national championship lasted for less than 48 hours, because... final exam week is approaching.

Only then did they remember that their first identity was a student. Compared with tennis, they still had professional studies to complete, and then they all started to get busy. Life didn't seem to change much, and calm was restored in a blink of an eye.

After going around and going around for nearly three weeks, Gao Wen finished all the final exams, so he could catch his breath.

After a little leisure, Gao Wen began to plan for his summer challenge to the professional circuit, which is undoubtedly a very important thing.

Every year, the schedules of ATP and WTA are regular. From January to March is the Australian season, which revolves around the Australian Open.

From April to June is the European season, which revolves around the clay court season of the French Open and the grass court season centered on Wimbledon.

June to August is the North American season, which revolves around the hard-court season of the US Open.

September and October are the Asian season, and all the main games are gathered in Asia.

The last November is the European indoor season, and it ends with the year-end finals, ending the whole year's schedule.

It can be seen that the next entire summer will belong to the North American season.

Beginning in 2004, the U.S. Tennis Association designed a warm-up match series around the North American season’s ultimate grand slam event, known as the "US Open Series", to help players adapt to the North American climate and adjust their status step by step. Eventually all the way to the stage of the US Open.

The entire "US Open Series", including six men's ATP events and five women's WTA events, ATP events enter the series one week earlier than WTA events.

Taking this year as an example, the Atlanta Tennis Championships began on July 25, and then the U.S. Open kicked off on August [-]. The levels of the six seasons are also different, and professional players often choose freely. Competing combination.

Currently, ATP professional events are divided into five levels.

The first level, Grand Slam, championship points is [-] points, a total of four Grand Slams throughout the year.

The second level, the Masters, has [-] championship points and a total of ten competitions throughout the year.

The third level, the Gold Race, has [-] points for the championship, so it is also called the "[-] Race".

The fourth level, Tournament, championship points is 250 points, so it is also called "250 race".

Among them, the Gold Tournament and Tournament will also be divided into some levels according to 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 a hope competition.

Strictly speaking, the Challenger League is the lowest level of the ATP competition. There is another system of classification based on championship points and game bonuses. For the best level of Challengers, the championship points are 120 five points.

And Hope is not an ATP event, but an ITF event——

To put it simply, the ITF is responsible for organizing competitions based on countries, as well as youth competitions, so the main participants in the hope competition are also young people.

The hope match is divided into levels according to the prize money of the game. The highest level hope match champion can also get ATP points, but only 35 points.

Among the "US Open Series", the first and second weeks are tour events, which is the "250 Tournament"; the third week is the Gold Tournament, which is the "[-] Tournament".

The fourth and fifth weeks are the Masters, which is also an important game where all 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 a question that every player needs to consider.

　Third more.
