Zhang Jike started to play table tennis when he was five and won the international championship when he was 23. He had experienced lots of hardship through this time. When he lifted the cup, what did the young man who usually didn’t talk too much think of? When asked about his, Zhang Jike remained cool, “I am very happy when I win the championship and it is my first time to take part in the World Championships. I have no burden[負(fù)擔(dān)] and this is a new beginning for me.”

2009年的開(kāi)局對(duì)張繼科來(lái)說(shuō)并不精彩。不過(guò)從下半年開(kāi)始,張繼科重新出發(fā)。出戰(zhàn)團(tuán)體世界杯讓他成為世界冠軍,之后還獲得了亞錦賽的男團(tuán)冠軍等榮譽(yù)。不過(guò)在單打賽場(chǎng),他卻被同齡的馬龍和比自己小一些的許昕壓制,亞錦賽與東亞運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)都在男單賽場(chǎng)屈居第二。
