Shouting and slamming rackets, delaying the serve by wiping sweat and adjusting clothes—these are all common occurrences.
However, these little tricks never affected Tang Yu's mentality. On the contrary, she attacked more and more fiercely, and as a result, her opponent requested a medical timeout.
This is also a common phenomenon, interrupting Tang Yu's fierce offensive.
However, whether it was a medical timeout, a complaint to the referee, or a request for a Hawk-Eye ruling, Tang Yu could watch the other party complete this little trick with a blank expression.
It's like watching a weak person struggle to survive.
When Tang Yu arrived at the championship point, he was swinging his racket when a spectator in the audience suddenly screamed.
It was a bit abrupt, shocking everyone around.
However, Tang Yu's movements were not delayed at all; she returned the ball with a tricky angle, her expressionless face showing no reaction.
Then, the opponent failed to catch the ball, and the referee declared Tang Yu the winner.
Tang Yu then looked directly in the direction of the audience who had just screamed, and a sneer appeared on her lips.
After making this gesture, Tang Yu smiled at the audience and fans present.
Finally, she threw her red hat towards her husband.
The commentators all laughed.
"Tang Yu threw the embroidered ball to her husband again. The couple probably enjoy playing this game, and perhaps it's their way of celebrating victory."
It was morning Beijing time, and many people had watched the game on TV. Many others saw the news online immediately after the game ended.
However, a few hours later, a set of Tang Yu's emojis suddenly became popular.
This set of emojis is called "King's Disdain".
"Sister Yu's expressionless face truly speaks volumes without words. The commentator's description is spot on; it really is the contempt of a queen!"
"Now I finally understand what it means to be ruthless and taciturn. Tang Yu's calm face when he plays basketball is more intimidating than a hundred harsh words!"
"I felt embarrassed for her even through the screen. Yu Jie's expression throughout was so cool, like 'You can do whatever you want, the championship is mine!'"
"Do you know what the greatest humiliation feels like? Without a single expression, without a single word, you've already sentenced your opponent to death for all their struggles."
Amidst the enthusiastic discussions among netizens, various brands also began their marketing campaigns one after another.
Rolex is the most popular among them.

Chapter 38 Tennis Entertainment
At the end of the 2012 tennis season, Tang Yu won the year-end championship at the WTA Finals, bringing a perfect end to the year's competition.
After the finals, Tang Yu agreed to be interviewed by both local Turkish media and reporters from Europe and America.
The main reason is that he has more than 20 endorsements, many of which also sponsor some high-end talk shows.
Therefore, in order to fulfill her duties as a spokesperson, Tang Yu can accept three interviews a day.
For four whole days, Tang Yu didn't know how many questions she had to answer repeatedly.
Because some hosts lack originality, a single question will always be asked repeatedly.
One question was asked in every single interview.
Because she made history this year, many hosts asked her what her most memorable experience was this year.
"I think fans might remember that I won four Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal this year, but actually, for me, I think the weather this year has been terrible."
Athletes should certainly push their limits, but organizers should also improve the rules of the competition to allow athletes to perform at their best.
At the end of the year, Tang Yu, along with other athletes, filed a lawsuit against certain inhumane competition rules of the WTA.
There have been many cases of heatstroke caused by the extreme heat, so organizers have begun to mandate the installation of temperature-controlled misting systems in stadiums, and many competitions have started to introduce temperature-controlled roof technology.
This year, several matches even had air pollution issues, so the WTA later added a rule that matches would be suspended if the air quality was substandard.
Having had enough of this year's high temperatures, Tang Yu took a year off from competition and went to Russia to ski.
"Neither of us speaks Russian well. You just want to experience the extreme cold of Siberia?"
Wearing a ski suit, Zhang Ruoyun shook himself off and said to his wife, sounding utterly exasperated.
"It's all about the experience. Ski resorts in Europe are great, of course, but as soon as I land, I feel like I'm going to compete. It doesn't feel like a vacation."
After Tang Yu finished speaking, Zhang Ruoyun immediately started criticizing her.
"Of course you don't feel like you're in a match, it's below zero."
Tang Yu burst out laughing and quickly tiptoed to kiss the other person.
"Hey, play with me! We'll go back indoors in a bit. That's the kind of fun we want."
Despite his love for complaining, Zhang Ruoyun still makes time to play with his wife.
The two witnessed numerous blizzards and stunning sunsets over a sea of clouds in the snow, and later even saw the aurora borealis together.
During their month-long vacation, the couple witnessed both terrible weather and stunning scenery.
When the trip came to an end, Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yu posted several travel photos on Weibo.
The two kissed under the aurora borealis, and the photo is very sweet and romantic.
Another picture shows a couple sitting together smiling in an endless snowfield, with a magnificent sea of clouds and sunset overhead.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the white snow, giving it a gentle golden glow.
The other photos are individual shots and group photos of people skiing.
Zhang Ruoyun's Weibo post reads: "I'll accompany you to any place in the world."
Tang Yu said on Weibo: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for accompanying me on a trip to a place where the temperature was below zero. It was really cold."
The two had a great time, and upon returning home, they immediately began seeing their friends and family.
Fans and onlookers praised the photos for being very romantic and asked where the couple went. Rich people are already thinking of going there too.
"Other athletes have been secretly training intensively for the past two months, but Sister Yu really enjoys herself during the off-season every year. The strong are fearless!"
"I think Sister Yu only has one worry: how lonely it is to be invincible."
"Is this why Sister Yu is so familiar with the national table tennis team?"
"Of course it's not for that reason, it's purely because of Xu Xin. But Sister Yu single-handedly improved the level of tennis in our country, she's really amazing!"
"Looking back on the journey, Sister Yu was only twenty-two years old. I feel despair for Sister Yu's opponents!"
In the following years, Tang Yu practically dominated women's tennis.
From 2012 to 2015, in addition to encountering unusually heavy rain, sandstorms, and strong winds, there were also other severe weather events.
Of the dozen or so tournaments Tang Yu participates in a year, he is usually eliminated early in only three or four of them, and he wins at least ten tour titles a year.
Many media outlets joked that Tang Yu had become an invincible god.

Even some athletes joked that they were there to compete for second place.
A group of opponents were helpless and could only pray that Tang Yu would decline from his peak as soon as possible.
In 2016, Tang Yu did feel that her condition had declined somewhat.
The frequent competitions over the past eight years have left her somewhat weary and physically exhausted.
He even considered retiring.
I support whatever decision you make, but I'm also afraid you'll regret it.
How about we take a break for a year or two, and if we still don't want to go back to the competition, then we can announce our retirement?
Upon hearing Zhang Ruoyun's words, Tang Yu immediately burst out laughing.
"Will you have time to spend with me after I retire?"
"This year we'll only be filming the second season of 'Forensic Qin Ming.' I won't take on any other work. We're not short of money, why would we take on so many jobs?"
Previously, Zhang Ruoyun was an ordinary stage director, playwright, and actor, who occasionally acted in television dramas.
He devoted more of his energy to writing novels using the pseudonym Fan Xian.
However, in the past few years, hot money has suddenly poured into the entertainment industry.
Many investors have approached Zhang Ruoyun, wanting to invest in him so he can direct and star in his own TV series.
Some investors have also offered money to have Zhang Ruoyun make a movie.
After all, many authors have switched careers to become directors in recent years, and their box office results have been quite good.
So Zhang Ruoyun discovered that there were many suckers in the world who were eager to invest money in his dramas.
Zhang Ruoyun felt he shouldn't refuse the money that was offered to him, and felt that he had fulfilled a dream he had had for many years.
He adapted his own novel into a film, directed it himself, wrote the script, and starred in it. Half of the investors' money went to his salary.
So Zhang Ruoyun filmed the first season of Forensic Qin Ming in 2014, and it became an instant hit when it aired on a video website last year.
He went from an unknown stage actor to a well-known actor, and then instantly attracted a group of fans.
At the time, new fans didn't know that Zhang Ruoyun liked to be a couch potato; they became career-oriented fans and planned a smooth road for him.
Looking ahead, with his seamless transition between roles, endorsement of high-end luxury brands, and collaborations with renowned directors, he is poised to become a top-tier film emperor.
When Zhang Ruoyun saw the future plans for his career, he remained silent for a few seconds, wanting to tell his fans something.
He is his own director, screenwriter, and creator; he doesn't need to seek collaborations with big-name directors or endorsements from high-end brands.
He and his wife can attend any high-end fashion show, and their home receives many invitations every year.
He really doesn't care about that endorsement fee; he can make money effortlessly every year just from the copyrights of his own books.
Of course, if the endorsement fee could be as high as that of his own wife, then it wouldn't be out of the question.
