Chapter 1788 A Lot of Fun
The 2015 U.S. Tennis Open, the match draw is hotly released——
Zone 1/4, "Djokovic VS Ferrer".
Until the quarter-finals were announced, it was generally believed that Djokovic was undoubtedly the biggest attraction in this division, and the world's No. 1 should be able to break through easily.
However, after the subsequent matchups in the top 16 and top 32 were released one after another, the excitement of this division has been rising steadily, and it has become a trap-intensive area. Serbian fans even raised their fingers towards Gao Wen. , curses and abuse once again flooded the entire social network.
In the 1/8 small division where Djokovic is located, there are also players such as Nadal, Fognini, Sepi, Janowitz and so on.
In Ferrer's 2/8 small division, there are also players such as Felipe Lopez, Cilic, Verdasco and so on.
chaos!
What a mess!
Putting aside other players for the time being, Nadal actually fell into the 1/8 zone. If all goes well, Nadal will meet Djokovic in the fourth round and compete for a place in the top eight, which will stir up a thousand stories with one stone. The waves easily attract all the attention here.
Despite this scene, some people have long predicted that Nadal, as the ninth seed, and the former eight seeds will inevitably meet in the top 16 stage to compete for the top eight, "Nadal VS Federer", "Nadal VS Gauvin", "Nadal VS Wawrinka" such a strong collision may occur in the fourth round ahead of schedule.
However, I never expected that this scene actually happened, and it was "Nadal VS Djokovic."
In an instant, everyone went crazy.
Not to mention the fans of Djokovic, even the fans of Nadal were full of bitterness. They did not expect that Gao Wen would come up with such a match.
Moreover, Nadal's signing this year is really, really bad. In the first round, he has to face Coric, who defeated him in Basel last year. Judging from the poor state of the US Open series, Nadal may not be able to hold on later. , they need to face the severe crisis of being upset in the first round.
Originally, people's focus was on Ferrer's return from injury after two months, and he was unsure of his status, but now they realize that this is a minefield——
Cilic, the runner-up in last year's tournament, Felipe Lopez, who has fully recovered and regained his touch in the US Open series, and Fognini, who can never be underestimated and cannot be underestimated.
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. You can imagine a big drama just from the draw.
It was previously believed that Djokovic could easily pass through to the semi-finals, but now it seems that the world's No. 1 needs to be wary of a series of landmines in the division.
If you don't pay attention, Toronto and Cincinnati may learn from the mistakes of the past, and a real upset may occur in New York.
However, what is really scary is that despite this, the quarter-quarter is still not considered a death zone, and Djokovic is still the favorite for the semi-finals.
Zone 2/4, "Murray VS Kei Nishikori".
It is somewhat similar to the previous division. Originally, people generally believed that Murray would be the best, but after the top 16 matchups and the top 32 matchups came out one after another, the media center could see British reporters performing a show "The smile gradually disappeared", and the familiar scene was also staged.
Murray's opponent in the top 16 is Anderson, and Kei Nishikori's opponent in the top 16 is Raonic. The performance prospects of the big serving players in Flushing are worth looking forward to.
But what is really important is that Challenger League members Chardy and Gulbis, who performed well in the US Open series, have both entered this quarter division.
In addition, Dimitrov, Kyrgios, Sock, Thiem and other members of Youth Storm also gathered together in this small area.
Since the Australian Open, all the strong players have fallen into a downturn due to different reasons, including injuries, pressure, their own condition, being analyzed and seen through after getting familiar with it, etc. The overall performance of the clay court season and the grass season has been lower than expected. Discussion The popularity has dropped temporarily.
After the U.S. Open series, Youth Storm hit rock bottom. Raonic and Dimitrov both fell out of the top ten in the world. Now only Gawain is still holding up a sky in the top ten ranks, coming to the United States. Internet, the youth storms who have high hopes are also shouldering their own missions.
At the same time, younger ones have come out. Although they have begun to take the stage, Gao Wenzhuyu has set an insurmountable benchmark in front of them. Their performance lacks surprises. Just a few months are not enough to make people invest. Pay more attention to your sight.
However, the US Open is different. Considering Gao Wen’s dark horse trip last year, maybe we can see some gems among this group of young people this year?
It is worth mentioning that Thiem, who rose to prominence at the US Open last year, returned to New York as the 21st seed this time; Sock, who has been rising steadily in the past six months, will compete in the US Open as the 29th seed. , both of whom have been mentioned by experts as possible dark horses to disrupt Occupy.
For District 2/4, the expectations of these young people should not be underestimated.
In addition, Kyrgios, who has recently been involved in negative off-court news again, has become Murray's first opponent. His threat and impact will always be a mystery.
Including Kyrgios himself, no one knows how he will perform. So far, he has defeated Federer and Nadal in their first encounter. When it comes to fast hard courts, Kyrgios is like a time bomb. No idea what kind of tennis he will play.
The British reporters were still complaining that Nadal's first-round opponent was too difficult to deal with. But when they saw Murray's first-round opponent, they were struck by thunder on the spot.
Of course, overall, Murray has a more obvious advantage in this division, and as the overall champion of this year's US Open series, he is in good shape; but as can be seen from the games in Toronto and Cincinnati, this year's surprises may be more unexpected than usual. More, everyone is ready to move.
The Challenger Alliance has joined hands to rise. Don't the Youth Storm feel the excitement? Aren’t young people supposed to be full of energy?
After all, no one has been able to defend the US Open title in the past six years. Young people should follow Gawain and try to carve out their own path.
Likewise, this is still not a dead zone.
Overall, the strength of the first half is balanced. Although Djokovic and Murray are superior in skills and are more optimistic, there are many potential variables and we need to pay attention to the trend at all times; moreover, the Challenger League and Youth Storm are The best players are concentrated in the upper half, and the first half should be better.
If the first half of the first half is full of variables, then the second half of the second half is obviously more difficult. This also makes the lottery show a wonderful balance. It is no wonder that people look at the lottery and can't laugh or cry. It must be admitted that, Gawain is indeed the Emperor of Europe, and it has become a hot topic before the game even begins.
For fanatical fans, this is a torment, because challenges are everywhere and the players they support may lose at any time; but for the fans, this is a carnival, full of fun and full of expectations, and every game Each round of duel may completely change the subsequent development.
Ho, ho ho ho...
Cheering and shouting, they can’t wait to release their energy.
