China's Shang Focuses On Happiness And Growth Ahead Of Australian Open
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina: On the eve of his first match in the Australian Open 2025, the 19-year-old Chinese player Shang Juncheng repeatedly mentioned the word "happily" when fielding reporters' questions in Melbourne's hot summer air. Shang will face Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who beat the Chinese teenager twice last year. However, during the match at the Madrid Open in April, the Spaniard won a crucial point controversially, as the ball bounced twice before he returned it.
"You probably know what happened in Madrid that I felt was unfair, but I think this time I have some contingency plans if anything happens," Shang said. "It's more important to focus on yourself, play your tennis well, and then finish the match happily on the court," he added.
Discussing his opponent in Sunday's first-round match, Shang called Davidovich Fokina a good player with strong attacks, a good serve, and fast movement. "The way we play is probably quite similar," he said.
