Tennis Interview” For the Goal, Keep Striving -- A senior at the Department of Sports and Athletics at Taiwan Normal University
From training tennis, like most players, to protecting high schools and universities through sports, but fulfilling the dream goal of playing abroad, Chikuyun has never forgotten

“The Beginning of Understanding Tennis”

Since childhood, my father often took me to experience a lot of sports to various experience camps. Once I spent a night practicing tennis in a small country, my dad asked if I wanted to play, so I immediately signed up for a few days, but really seriously trained. It only started in China.

“The Spirit of Never Giving Up on Tennis Practice”

I feel tennis has given me a feeling of dissatisfaction with a lot of achievements in the intangible. In order to get better results, I want to constantly improve my abilities. Tennis has also taught me the spirit of never giving up, and persevering will have results.


“All-China Olympic Individual Doubles Champion”

THE MOST MEMORABLE THING FOR ME IS THAT GAO II'S ALL-CHINESE INDIVIDUAL DOUBLES QUARTER-FINAL AGAINST HIM WAS ACTUALLY TWO HEAVYWEIGHT AND TALL PLAYERS WHO LOST THE MATCH, SO THE PRESSURE WAS GREAT. IT WAS A GOOD SITUATION ON THE DAY, THERE WAS A LOT OF STRENGTH TO BE HAD, AND THE TEAMMATES AND THE OFF-FIELD REFUELING TEAM WERE VERY STRONG. In order for us to successfully advance, we won the final in the last round.

Challenges and Future Prospects

The most difficult thing to face should be a lack of physical fitness. Sometimes the ball and speed drop noticeably after the match, but when the physical condition breaks, you can feel that the speed of the ball in the second half can still be maintained and hit the right level. In the short term, the goal is to achieve a good result at the National Games and the Grand Prix. If there is an opportunity to compete abroad in professional or other competitions, we hope to challenge at different intensities.

“The Most Thankful Person”

Thank you very much, there are many people who have helped me at every stage from small to large. My father is my biggest promoter, he does not speak much, but he silenced a lot of stress so that I could learn tennis, and teachers Cao in Hualien and Aunty Wen Jing in Taipei, and uncles Aunties in his hometown also opened Chinese The Foundation for Teaching, which provides me with many resources in middle and high school, also cares about me. More importantly, I was inspired by my mentor, Chung Antai, who, because there was no extra money at home, allowed me to learn tennis, practice on the outside of the court by myself. Coach Chung, he discovered me and took me into the tennis team, if Without him, we can say that we would not have set foot on this path of tennis. The coaching team at Sammin High School in Kaohsiung for a long time has made me change and learned the most. Thank you very much for them for making me different and for allowing me to see a lot of future.
