tennis star Roger Federer, who is known as the “King of Switzerland”, announced his retirement. The 41-year-old veteran presented more than 1,500 wonderful performances to the fans in his 24-year career, winning 103 singles champions including 20 Grand Slam, leaving the admiration, applause and worship of countless fans. Among them, there is a 14-year-old WA teenager from Yunnan, China-Wang Fa.
Who is Wang FA? Perhaps one of his photos is more familiar. In the photo, a young man with dark skin and spitting tongue with smile was carrying WA characteristics bamboo little pannier with two tennis rackets inside. This photo became popular on the Internet after Wang FA recently won the U14 men’s singles champion of Guangzhou station in the 2022 Asics youth tennis tour. People affectionately called him “back baskets teenager”, and bless him to bring the featured back baskets to the stage of the World competition in the future.
From the age of 8 to the age of 14, Wang FA became famous. He neither complained about the hardship of training nor squandered the happiness of success, instead, he continued to train hard towards his dream of becoming a professional player and inspired his idol to be Federer.
The curtain call of the King of Switzerland, the Chinese rookie, shows the beauty of sports with a secret.
The beauty of sports is no matter where you come from.
In the sports world, heroes don’t ask where they come from. Wang Xiangsheng was born in Cangyuan, Yunnan province, on the border between China and Myanmar, but the door of dreams has never been closed due to remoteness or poverty. Behind the champion is his swing of no less than 7,000 times a day. What helps athletes to succeed is never a special talent or a favorable condition, but a hard training. Federer, who has always been famous for talent, elegance and enjoyment, also said after winning the championship, “People think I have talent and underestimate my diligence”; his most popular saying is “there is no other way to embrace it except hard work”.
The beauty of sports has nothing to do with competing.
As the Olympic motto holds, sports should pursue faster, higher and stronger, but the true meaning of pursuing excellence is not to surpass all competitors, but to defeat yesterday’s self. Among the many records of Federer’s career, one of them was very touching-never withdrew. He inspired many fans, not because he once reached the “invincible” situation, but because he was defeated by his opponent and still returned to the field again and again after being knocked down by injuries, bravely challenging himself and challenging the limit. People will undoubtedly marvel at the emergence of a new record, but at the same time, those players who are not afraid of hardships and stick to the end will still receive the warmest cheers even if they are exhausted or even limp after the competition, this is the spirit of sports that never gives up.
The beauty of sports is nothing to ask.
Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic movement, once said: “The ideal of reviving the Olympic movement aims to combine tradition and modernity, East and Western civilization together.” Sports do not know race or borders, just as the fireworks over the bird’s nest at the end of the Beijing Winter Olympics wrote “One World,One Family. For example, Zhang Depei, sritaban, Li Na, and Osaka Zhimei, who were once shining in the history of tennis, may one day, the new “Oriental face” can also take over Federer’s “racket”, becoming the next “tennis giant”, this kind of inheritance across things will make the beauty of sports lasting and new.
