Chapter 1110 Competition Crisis

The Masters are held consecutively, which is not uncommon in the annual schedule. In addition to Indian Wells and Miami, there are also Madrid and Rome, Cincinnati and Canada. These events are also seamlessly connected one after the other.

However, the "Sunshine Double Championship" is a two-week event with 96 draws, which also means four consecutive weeks of participation, and it is the only one with such intensity.

You can't blame the players for choosing one of the two in order to ensure their health, participating in one and giving up one.

Of course, if possible, the players do not want to miss any of the events. The popularity of the "Sunshine Double Crown" in the tour is obvious to all. Everyone sincerely hopes to participate in the two events with full attendance; It is beautiful, but reality is often skinny.

When it comes to trade-offs, Indian Wells, which is held a week earlier, has the advantage.

The reality is that more players often choose to go to the desert, and then decide whether to go to Miami to compete according to their specific performance and physical condition.

The simplest and most intuitive thing is that Nadal has never traveled to Miami to compete since 2018.

Nadal's last appearance in Miami was in 2017. He reached the final all the way, but unfortunately lost to Federer and lost all five finals. This also made Miami and Paris the only two masters in which Nadal did not win the championship .

There is no doubt that this is a real problem that Miami must face, but the point is that this is a microcosm of the dense schedule throughout the year, and it cannot be controlled by just one event in Miami. This requires ATP, sponsors, players union, etc. Wait for a consensus to find a solution.

Difficult, difficult to reach the sky.

This year, is no exception.

On the other side, the men's singles final in Indian Wells is being staged, and Gao Wen and Federer are discussing swords.

Here, the Miami Qualifiers have all come to an end, and the prelude to the first round has slowly begun.

Tandem, no breathing room.

Objectively speaking, this is the case throughout the year, and the games are seamlessly connected week after week. Players need to learn to arrange their schedules scientifically.

But the intensity of two consecutive Masters, and the intensity of participating in four consecutive weeks, is a severe test for any player—

Judgment and choice are also very necessary.

In addition to Monfils and Kvitova who were exempt from the battle due to injury, Benneteu, Kohlschreiber, Kyrgios, Gasquet, Cibulkova, Seppi, Lajovi Qi, Mardy-Fish (Mardy-Fish), Stepanek and other players also announced their retirement due to injury.

In addition, Cilic, who just returned from injury in Indian Wells last week, once again announced his retirement due to injury.

Also, Federer did not go to Miami at all, and after the Indian Wells final, he announced his regretful absence on social networks.

Although regrettable, but Federer's decision without much hesitation.

For the King of Switzerland, the two-hour and seventeen-minute Indian Wells final was exhausting, especially at the physical level. He is already thirty-four years old, and it is impossible for him to recover as quickly as he was seventeen years old. No matter how hard the game is, a good night's sleep will be enough.

Federer needed rest and adjustments, so even though he wasn't bothered by any injuries, he withdrew for the rest of the clay court season.

Miami, the loss was heavy.

Judging from the world rankings, only Federer and Monfils are absent in the top 20. The numbers are still good, but Miami understands Federer's appeal—

One is worth ten.

But what can Miami do?

Tournament director Fernando-Soler (Fernando-Soler) personally called Federer, hoping that Federer can still go to Miami to compete.

Unfortunately, nothing came of it.

At this point in his career, focusing on his health and prolonging his career is the only thing that matters to Federer.

Miami, after all, "lost" Federer this year.

In fact, this is also a direct manifestation of the increasingly fierce competition between Miami and Indian Wells, even including the participating lineups.

The internal competition of "Sunshine Double Crown" is far more intense than imagined.

In recent years, Indian Wells has become more and more high-profile and aggressive. Since Oracle CEO Larry Ellison became the owner of the event, it is like the possession of Chelsea in the Premier League. From hardware to software to public relations, it took off in an all-round way.

It soared into the sky and continued to expand its advantages.

There is no harm without comparison. Miami has indeed been in the shadow of Indian Wells. The crisis facing the event is more than one or two.

But this does not mean that Miami is ready to give up the title of "Fifth Grand Slam". They will wait and see for 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

However, the competition and competition at the competition level is more about the confrontation of capital. In Gao Wen's view, they are far from players. They are all small pawns.

until now-

Gao Wencai gradually realized that as their personal influence grew, they could gradually play an increasingly important role in the game of capital balance.

This is the case with Federer, and it is the same with other giants.

Now, he himself is getting started, opening the door to a whole new world.

"Welcome! Welcome welcome welcome!"

Soller, who was coming towards him, gave Gao Wen a big hug with enthusiasm. The unique enthusiasm of South Americans seemed to melt his soul into this hug. From body language to facial expressions to the temperature of words, he could deeply feel it. That kind of joy and excitement, dance to your heart's content.

Gao Wen, caught off guard, looked at Soler with a face full of astonishment.

Soler looked at Gawain's round eyes like copper bells, clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "What? Haven't you experienced South American hugs?"

Gao Wen intentionally showed an expression of lingering fear~lightnovelpub.net~ and patted his chest, fearing that his heart would jump out, "In the past, there were many Spanish and Portuguese students in high school, but you know, high school students, teenagers, we We are sincere in rejecting any form of contact with our whole being."

Then, spreading his hands, "No one wants to be treated like an old man."

Soller laughed heartily, "Indeed, indeed, only after becoming parents will they be so enthusiastic about hugs. My children refuse my hugs every day, and keep emphasizing that they are no longer children, **** Christ, To me, they are children."

At this time, Tobias who was standing aside interrupted, "Fernando, if you want to please Gao Wen, I think you need to be smarter."

Soler didn't mind either. His facial features were very expressive, just like the characters in cartoons. His eyebrows, eyes and mouth all had their own thoughts, "John, is that so? Have I given away? Vin is a smart guy, but not that smart?"

Gao Wen pretended to look up at the sky and whistled, as if he didn't hear the two people in front of him discussing him.

One movement and one expression is enough.
