Immediately afterwards, the war in the North American summer hard court season climbed further to the peak and spread towards Cincinnati.

Injury updates -

Kei Nishikori and Gaowen both missed the Cincinnati event due to injuries, which is undoubtedly a regret and a huge regret for the event organizing committee.

This is not only the first time in his career that Gao Wen has missed the Masters, but it is also the second consecutive year that he has missed Cincinnati. Before he is about to officially enter the second year of his career, the waves are quietly stirring, and it can be felt in all aspects. This is the official time for Gao Wen. Get on the career path.

There is more good news than bad news.

First, Wawrinka, who retired from the game due to injury last week, underwent an in-depth examination and found that there was no serious problem. After a brief adjustment, he announced that he would continue playing in Cincinnati.

Secondly, Federer announced his return from injury and started his journey to compete in the US Open after his shock victory in the Wimbledon final.

then--

The battle in Cincinnati slowly began.

There are accidents, surprises, excitement, climaxes... For fans, they really can't ask for more.

Let’s talk about the accident first.

Nadal. After experiencing a brief recovery in the Rogers Cup, he struggled again when he came to Cincinnati. After a hard-fought three-set loss to Spanish fellow Felipe Lopez, who had fallen out of the top 30 in the world rankings, the season had entered the second half, but the impact of injuries Still can't get rid of it.

Berdych. He has been in a long slump since the clay court season. He also failed to perform well in the grass court season where he is best. After moving to North America, he still has no improvement. He was upset in the first game in Toronto last week and was upset again after winning two consecutive games in Cincinnati. Lost to Dolgopolov.

Chardy, after reaching the semi-finals of the Rogers Cup last week, also had high hopes this time, but was defeated by Nadal in the second round. Facing giant-level players, he still exposed his shortcomings and ceiling. The ceiling is particularly noticeable, which is undoubtedly disappointing.

It's not just injuries. As age increases, state ups and downs and recovery become more and more difficult, which is also a threshold for competitive sports.

Let’s talk about surprises.

Gasquet. Fey Lopez. Wawrinka.

They are all representatives of the Challenger League. They are burdened with their own pressure due to different reasons and situations, and they are also proving themselves.

Moreover, in Cincinnati, they all performed admirable performances, and on the way to promotion, they dedicated exciting duels that triggered cheers and applause from the audience. They returned to the top eight and once again continued the overall rise of the Challenger League this year, so that Youth Storm is also a little lonely.

Also, Dimitrov.

Strictly speaking, for Dimitrov, his performance in the top 16 is not a surprise, far from it. People have higher expectations for him.

But in fact, after Wimbledon, Dimitrov is finding his best self bit by bit.

Last week in Toronto, I lost to Sock in three hard sets, 7:5 in the final set. It was a pity that I couldn't win the game and stopped in the top 16.

This week in Cincinnati, I lost to Murray in three hard-fought sets. The second and third sets were both tie-breaks. I lost both by "7:3" and "10:8" respectively. It was very, very close. I regretted missing two. Match point, once again stopped in the top 16.

From a pure performance perspective, Dimitrov should be in the disappointing category, but both games were stalemate until the end, losing the game by a hair's breadth, especially the game against Murray, facing the defeat of Germany last week. The performance of Jokovic's Murray and Dimitrov is absolutely remarkable.

After parting ways with Rashid, Dimitrov was not in a hurry to hire a new coach. People originally thought that he might get lost; but in fact, Dimitrov was trying to adapt to the feeling of playing alone, and slowly Slowly regain your confidence and regain your feeling.

Finally, let’s talk about excitement and climax.

Thousands of eyes are all focused on the top four, but in fact, starting from the top eight, the exciting collisions cannot stop one after another.

Top half.

"Djokovic VS Wawrinka", this French Open final rematch is undoubtedly the highlight. The score is far from reflecting the excitement of this game, but in the end, the high-spirited Djokovic entered the Super Saiyan In his super state, he successfully suppressed Wawrinka and won in straight sets.

"", the world's number one hard court strength is truly amazing.

"Dolgopolov VS Berdych", originally everyone thought that Berdych would win easily, but Dolgopolov, a strange golfer, got the most perfect lottery in his career and won. Seize the opportunity firmly.

He won two games in a row in the qualifying round and entered the main draw. Then he won the first round without a fight because his opponent retired due to injury. Then he defeated two new generation players, Tomic and Janowicz, to reach the quarterfinals and caught Berdych's sluggish state. The opportunity broke out with the strongest energy, easily defeating the opponent with a score of "2:0" and entering the semi-finals.

Following Chardy's meteoric rise in the Rogers Cup, Cincinnati also became a stage for the Challenger League, with Dolgopolov advancing from the qualifying round to the semi-finals.

If anyone thinks that Dolgopolov is simply a "pickup" of the semi-finals and that Djokovic will win easily, then Competitive Sports will slap him in the face.

"4:)", "6:2".

Djokovic once again saved match points to narrowly advance, and Dolgopolov indeed played the most representative week of his career.

Lower half.

"Federer VS Fey Lopez", after the Swiss King missed the Rogers Cup to re-adjust his state, he showed his outstanding dominance on the hard court and defeated Fei Lopez without any blood. The two players met twelve times in their career. Federer remains victorious.

"Murray VS Gasquet", the French genius continued his outstanding performance this season. Facing Murray, who won the Rogers Cup last week, he took the first set, but in the end Murray still showed a better competitive state and firmly Take the initiative and win two sets in a row to win.

As a result, all eyes were focused on the semi-finals.

From Toronto to Cincinnati, although the players in the semi-finals are different, the top four players in the world have won three semi-finals in two consecutive games, which shows their dominance.

Of course, more importantly, the giants meet again.

"(6)".

Federer, with his superior skills, successfully suppressed the fiery Murray, and ran all the way to victory with a smooth attack.

In the final, the crowd was excited. After the French Open final was repeated in Toronto, the Wimbledon final was about to be repeated in Cincinnati.

Let me ask, who can complain that Cincinnati this year is not exciting enough?

Despite some regrets, a lot of upsets and surprises, Cincinnati still pushed the heat wave of the entire North American summer hard court season to a new peak.

The final outcome——

Federer showed his top touch, used his attack to clear the way, and won the match in two straight sets, ending his three-game losing streak against Djokovic and winning the championship with a strong performance without losing a set in the entire match.
