Sharapova has just participated in the Pan Pacific Tennis Open, which is a first-class wta event held in Tokyo, Japan. Sharapova played as the No. 1 seed, but it was a pity that he withdrew from the game due to injury in the semi-final against Ivanovic.

This is not the first time Zhang Guan’s parents have met Sharapova. Zhang Guan’s parents do not have any opinions about this “foreign daughter-in-law”. They don’t care much about their nationality. It’s good to be happy.

After the Spring Festival, Zhang Guan and Sharapova flew to Hong Kong together again, and they will jointly attend a sponsor's new product launch.

Because the length of the Spring Festival holiday in the two places is different, the Hong Kong Spring Festival holiday is from the first day of the first month to the third day of the first month. Therefore, when the fourth day of the first month is already working, all business activities will be carried out normally. However, the three-day holiday in Hong Kong is a serious holiday, and there is no need to adjust it.

Commercial vehicles were driving on the streets of Hong Kong, and there was some traffic jam at this time, and Zhang Guan couldn't help holding Sharapova's hands.

"Martha, I have no way to spend your birthday with you this year." Zhang Guan continued: "I have promised our tennis center to participate in a tennis campus promotion event, which will run almost half of China. Continue It will last up to a month."

"When is the specific time?" Sharapova asked.

"Mid-March to mid-April." Zhang Guan replied.

"Are you not going to participate in the Masters?" Sharapova then added: "In the middle of March, there is the Indian Wells of the Masters Series, and in the end of March is the Masters of the Masters. The two The station games are all atp1000 level events, and the prize money is also very high. The total prize money for men's games should exceed 3 million US dollars!"

The annual Tennis Masters Series is a very important event for professional players. First of all, these atp1000 level Tour Masters, players get half the points of Grand Slam events, that is, 1000 points for championship, 600 points for runner-up, and the top four 360 points, 180 points for the quarterfinals and so on.

Secondly, the atp1000 level event bonus is also very impressive. The total prize money for the Master Series held in Europe is generally $2.45 million. For the two competitions in the United States, the total prize money is more than 3 million US dollars due to the relatively strong sponsors. Of course, the highest prize is the Master Cup held in China every November. The total prize money in 2007 reached US$3.7 million.

In terms of the number of participants, there are usually 64 players participating in the European Masters, which is only half of the Grand Slam; and the two Masters held in the United States have 128 places, which is the same as the Grand Slam, so Competition is as intense as Grand Slam.

High points, high bonuses, large numbers of participants, and fierce competition. This makes the two Masters in the United States the most important event after the Australian Open and before the French Open. The level of the contestants is also the same as the Grand Slam.

Just listen to Sharapova and then introduce: "In the Masters Indian Wells game, the men’s total prize money seems to be 3.17 million US dollars. The title sponsor of this game is Pacific Life Insurance, so the women’s game is also called the Pacific Life Insurance Cup. . The women’s competition is a 96-level first-tier tour with a prize money of $2.1 million."

"The difference between the men's and women's bonuses is more than one million dollars!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"That's strange. In the tennis game, the men's money was originally much more than the women's money. In the past, it was the same as the Grand Slam. Now in the four Grand Slams, in addition to the French Open, the other three men's and women's singles The bonuses are already the same. But on the tour. The women’s singles bonus is still much better than the men’s singles.” Sharapova paused, then said: “But the Miami men’s and women’s bonuses are the same. "

"Is Miami in the Masters? The one behind Indian Wells?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Yes, that's that. The men's singles total prize money is $3.45 million, the highest of any master series. The sponsor of this competition is Sony Ericsson." Sharapova said with a smile: "The women's game is called Sony Ericsson Cup, the total bonus is also 3.45 million US dollars!"

"How many bonuses are there in the first-level women's singles?" Zhang Guan asked.

"1.34 million US dollars. And there is a difference between 64 and 32." Sharapova continued: "Now you know, the gap between the tennis men's and women's bonuses is very large, and in the men's master series, the bonus exceeds 300. The only one million dollars is the two races in the United States. Are you sure not to participate?"

Zhang Guan still shook his head: "3 million is just the total bonus. It has to be layered down, even if you win the championship, I am afraid that the bonus will not be less than 1 million! Too little, don't go!"

"Are you too young for $1 million?" Sharapova glared at Zhang Guan.

It was at this time. Zhang Guan said to the driver: "Master driver, stop in front of you, and that decoration will surround it."

The driver stopped the car slowly. He looked at the shop that was being renovated and said that the shop had been renovated for several months from the end of last year to the present. With such a good flow of people in these locations, the business has been closed for several months, and the East family is afraid of losing a lot.

Zhang Guan took the lead and got out of the car, then made a "please" gesture.

"What are you doing here?" Sharapova asked.

"Aren't you familiar?" Zhang Guan smiled: "We've been here before!"

Sharapova looked around, as if remembering something, and then she said, "I remember, we were still shopping here! I remember that there was a shop decorated very delicately, and I still have an impression, it seems like over there?"

Sharapova raised her finger and it was the shop that was blocked by the decoration. The enclosures are written in Chinese and because they say "during renovation, business suspension" and "for safety, please do not approach".

"How to decorate it? Is it because the business is not good, the shop is mainly changed?" Sharapova looked around, and then said: "The flow of people here is still quite large, and there should be no guests, that is, poor management! "

"It may not be, the landlord may not want to continue to rent." Zhang Guan smiled, while pulling Sharapova walked over.

"Hey, the English above says "For safety, please don't come close", isn't it written in Chinese?" Sharapova asked.

"This is also the meaning in Chinese. But I think this store should be renovated!" Zhang Guan took Sharapova forward and stopped not far from the fence.

At the next moment, the entire enclosure fell, and a renovated shop appeared in front of them.

A signboard posted by a candy pattern, the letter on the door is the English name of Sharapova: ma日a-sharapova! (To be continued.)
