On days like these, she wouldn't even touch a tennis ball.
She was very happy that the Australian Open and the Spring Festival did not overlap this year, so she spent a relaxing holiday at home.
After the Spring Festival, Tang Yu returned to the competition field.
There are many tournaments on the WTA tour throughout the year, but at Tang Yu's ranking, she mainly participates in major tournaments and the warm-up tournaments before those major tournaments.
Perhaps it was a premonition brought about by the Australian Open, but after returning to the court, Tang Yu encountered several severe weather events throughout the year.
Another sandstorm struck the Doha competition. Although Tang Yu managed to escape it, he still won the championship and returned to the world number one spot.
However, when she participated in a competition in the United States in March, she encountered sandstorms and strong winds again.
Tang Yu wasn't so lucky this time; the wind was so strong he couldn't even see the ball, so he had to leave after losing.
In a post-match interview, Tang Yu gave a very direct answer.
"Fighting against the weather is also a fun part of the competition, although I don't really want to enjoy sandstorms."
"But since I'm already here, as long as my racket isn't blown away, I'll keep going."
Next, another event in the United States was repeatedly postponed due to days of torrential rain. Tang Yu complained to her husband on the phone.
"Luckily you were busy in the first half of the year. If you had come here with me to participate in the competition, you would have thought, what terrible weather."
After Tang Yu finished speaking, Zhang Ruoyun became concerned.
"Have a headache?"
"As long as I don't have to compete in heavy rain, it won't give me a headache. But if it really rains heavily and there's no roof, I'll lose to my opponent."
After April ends, the clay court season begins.
Before the French Open, there were several tournaments played on clay courts.
As warm-up tournaments before the French Open, seeded players will choose to participate in a few matches to get a feel for the game.
Tang Yu hadn't participated in clay court competitions for a long time, so she participated in the first two warm-up matches.
The match in Spain was also affected by strong winds, so Tang Yu lost and went to Italy to prepare for another clay court tournament.
As it turned out, the premonition at the beginning of the year came true. After arriving in Italy, Tang Yu encountered continuous rain, and she got a headache immediately after being caught in the rain.
Tang Yu lost both clay court matches midway through, leading to predictions that she may not have a standout performance at the French Open this year.
Actually, Tang Yu didn't care much about this matter. She just felt that there probably wouldn't be any good weather in the second half of this year.
After finishing his play, Zhang Ruoyun went to the United States and worked there for a while before coming over before the French Open.
"I saw a male tennis player complaining that the organizers should give you swimming goggles in bulk, because everyone is suffering from this terrible weather."
Tang Yu looked at the rain outside the window and then sighed.
"With this continuous rainy weather, it wouldn't be surprising if I were eliminated in the first round."
Zhang Ruoyun chuckled softly, then showed off his contract.
“It’s okay, I’ll take care of earning money to support the family this year. I’ve already negotiated the game copyright with them, and your husband will become rich again.”
Tang Yu immediately pinned the person down on the sofa and started teasing them.
"Our incomes on the Forbes list seem to be about the same. Are you trying to surpass me this year?"
"That's quite possible."
After saying this, Zhang Ruoyun immediately looked up and kissed his wife.
"But my money is your money, and your money is still your money, so you are still richer."
Tang Yu was instantly amused.
The weather in Paris did not improve in the following days; the continuous rain caused the events to pile up.
The weather had finally improved, but I had to participate in two matches in one day, and they started in the rain.
Several athletes slipped and twisted their ankles, and some even competed in the middle of the night.
Tang Yu didn't get eliminated in the first round; she was eliminated in the second round.
Tang Yu gave a very direct answer to the question of why she lost the match in the post-match interview.
"I'm not good at competing in the rain, but everyone has their weaknesses, and I'll try to make up for them in the future."
That's what they say, but Tang Yu's thoughts were very direct.
Is she crazy? She specifically exercises when it's raining; it's not like she's starving.
As early as when she participated in the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, she had a premonition that this year would be a bad one.
Sure enough, the Wimbledon tournament was hit by torrential rain after a few days of sunny weather.
However, luck is also a kind of strength, and Tang Yu successfully made it to the finals this time and won the championship once again.
Even the media commented that Wimbledon is Tang Yu's lucky place.
However, after winning the championship this time, the next few months were terrible.
The US Open has become the most chaotic tournament in history, and a hurricane has arrived.
A group of people were trapped in a hotel eating instant noodles while a disaster movie was playing out outside their window.
While eating instant noodles, Tang Yu teased her husband.
"Has participating in competitions with me made your life more exciting? Has it given you any creative inspiration?"
"It inspires me to write disaster novels."
Zhang Ruoyun ate instant noodles while complaining, he was really getting tired of them.
Although there are other snacks, I'm tired of them too.
The couple complained about the makeshift team, and then after the US Open started, Tang Yu and the other players had to take a jet ski to get to the venue.
Due to the scheduling conflicts, the competition was eventually reduced to two matches a day, with many people still playing at 1 a.m., and the audience was almost falling asleep.
Tang Yusheng lacked any fighting spirit; after losing in the quarterfinals, she quickly ran away.
Numerous newspapers have commented that the US Open's response this time was like a makeshift operation.
Tang Yu and other players jointly protested that there are still no rules for dealing with extreme weather, which is a huge loophole.
It wasn't until the following year, in 2012, that the US Open finally added an Extreme Weather Committee.
However, that was the following year. Tang Yu had already arrived in Tokyo to participate in the competition, and then encountered a typhoon and torrential rain.
Family members, I'm speechless.
While Zhang Ruoyun was resting with his wife in the hotel, he burst into laughter.
"Yu Yu, just coast through the competition. You already have two Grand Slam titles this year anyway."
Although you lost prize money from a few races, your husband is bursting with inspiration and should be able to write a bestselling novel.
Tang Yu had gone from being speechless at the beginning to laughing heartily with her husband.
"That's it, giving up is also a way of life."
Later on, even the Beijing Open was shrouded in smog, and the Moscow Open was snowy, but Tang Yu didn't care anymore.
If we can win, we will; if we can't, we'll run away.
It's not worth giving your all for a single event.
Tang Yu finally gave it her all during the year-end finals.
Because it was an indoor competition, Tang Yu successfully won the championship in the finals that year.
Although the schedule is tight, it's better than a storm.
So the 2011 competition finally came to an end, and the next two months were the off-season, during which Tang Yu was unwilling to go abroad.
There has been so much bad weather this year that she just wants to stay home and relax.
During this period, Tang Yu participated in an interview program.
Because of her endorsement of Audi, Audi also sponsored the program "Yang Lan Interview".
So after filming the new year's advertisement for Audi, Tang Yu went on to record an interview with Yang Lan.
Chapter 31 Tennis Entertainment
When this episode aired, Tang Yu and Zhang Ruoyun were staying in Beijing with their elderly relatives, and the two even built a snowman in the yard when it snowed.
Grandma said we were both childish and mature, no wonder we became husband and wife.
Hearing Zhang Ruoyun say that, Tang Yu laughed and teased him.
"Then you're more naive than me. Last night you lost the game and wrote your opponent's name into a novel as a dead body, right?"
After Tang Yu finished speaking, Zhang Ruoyun hugged his wife and laughed.
"Wife, don't expose me!"
"No, I admire your style of hunting down people to the ends of the earth."
The couple went out to take pictures of the snow scene in the afternoon, and only watched the program together in the evening.
The program began by introducing Tang Yu's achievements since she started playing professional tennis in 2008, and then described what happened after the car accident.
In just twenty years, she went from a girl from the suburbs of Shanghai to an international tennis superstar. Her life has been full of ups and downs, and she even got married in her early twenties.
The two talked about many topics, but the program was edited, and Tang Yu only knew where the program started after watching the beginning.
Have you ever counted how many championships you've won?
Yang Lan asked this question at the beginning of the program, and Tang Yu was stunned for a second.
"I haven't calculated this. If I only consider the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, I can calculate it immediately."
If you include all the competitions, I don't even know how many championships I've won.
After Tang Yu finished speaking, Yang Lan smiled and spoke up.
"Do you know how your tennis fans describe you? For you, there are only champions, no runners-up."
