Chapter 1490 Splendid Ending

On Saturday, two finals, similar situation to different endings.

In the women's singles final, Serena Williams once again defended her title of No. 1 in the world with an unparalleled performance, completely ending the turmoil and doubts of the past year, and proving that she is still the best female player at present.

In the men's doubles final, the dominance of the Bryan brothers was further impacted. Age and injuries are bringing more uncertainties.

Not only tennis, but every competitive sport is like this. Age and injuries are the thresholds that cannot be circumvented. The debates of "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead" and "whether a cheap old man can still eat" are always unavoidable topic.

Similarly, the men's singles arena is no exception—

Or, to be more precise, the men's singles "Big Four VS Challenger" clash is the best and most exciting event in professional tennis in the past 18 months, and no one wants to miss it.

Everyone was watching, and then, going around and around, came back to where it all started.

The astonishing storm caused by the Challenger League first started at Melbourne Park in 2014. Wawrinka defeated Djokovic in a long game in the quarter-finals and broke into the semi-finals, sounding the horn of subversion.

After that, the world was turned upside down and the waves were turbulent.

Now, Wawrinka and Djokovic are once again standing in front of each other, this time not in the quarter-finals, but for the French Open champion.

In fact, after the Australian Open in 2014, Djokovic and Wawrinka met twice again. Djokovic maintained a complete victory, including a sweeping victory in the year-end finals group stage with only three games lost.

In other words, Djokovic has succeeded in revenge and proved himself.

Coming to Roland Garros this time, Djokovic pointed to the championship with full confidence. He did not hide his ambition from the beginning to the end. He defeated Murray who was also undefeated on clay in the semi-finals, which proved once again Apart from himself, he is the best player on clay this season.

Facing Wawrinka, Djokovic can be said to have a winning chance and ambition.

but!

That's Wawrinka. Once he enters the super **** state, he will kill crazy Wawrinka. Although he is not a nerve knife, if he becomes "nervous", he will definitely be a crazy person who blocks gods and Buddhas.

At the Australian Open at the beginning of this year, Wawrinka almost dragged Djokovic into the abyss. Vichy directly liquidated "6:0" to win, but no one will question Wawrinka's explosive power and impact.

Just look at this year's French Open.

Two consecutive straight-set victories swept Berdych and Federer, two masters, followed by a five-set fierce battle to break Gawain's career Grand Slam undefeated gold, indeed showing an unstoppable supernatural state.

It is conceivable that this final is worth looking forward to, very, very much worth looking forward to.

On one side is Djokovic, who is determined to win, and his confidence has reached its peak.

The five-game winning streak against Wawrinka on clay can bring him confidence, but Djokovic and Wawrinka have all entered the final set in the past four Grand Slam meetings, which also sounded the alarm for the world's number one.

Moreover, playing games for three consecutive days on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday also poses a severe challenge to Djokovic's ability to adjust himself.

On one side is Wawrinka, who is in a super **** state, and has entered a new realm with red eyes.

Consecutive defeats of Federer and Gawain boosted Wawrinka's confidence, and he also defeated Djokovic on the Grand Slam stage, recharging his energy and waiting for his opponent also allowed him to seize the upper hand.

But so far, there are only a handful of players who have defeated four top ten players in a row to reach the top of the Grand Slam championship. Wawrinka's challenge is gradually escalating, and he will soon face the ultimate challenge of being the world's number one, physically and mentally. The trials are unimaginable.

So, who will have the last laugh—

Everything is possible.

The final was very exciting, in fact, it was wonderful in every aspect, but unfortunately, it was not enough.

Just like the World Cup, there are many exciting events, but the final is often not the most exciting one.

This year's French Open, the peak has already arrived, whether it is the quarter-finals between Gawain and Nadal, the semi-finals between Gawain and Wawrinka, or even the quarter-finals between Wawrinka and Federer, it is worth remembering.

In comparison, the intensity and excitement of the final is still slightly inferior after all, but the real mystery of the final is that this will determine the championship—

This is enough, because this is the jewel above the crown.

"4:6", "6:4", "6:3", "6:4".

The four-set match took three hours and twelve minutes, and Wawrinka reversed and won!

In fact, Djokovic performed very well. He not only took the lead in winning the first set, but also took the lead in breaking serve in the fourth set, with a huge lead.

Wawrinka was really crazy. Except for the slow start in the first set, the tough and tough offense of the whole game completely controlled the situation.

In the second set, it was almost a full-scale attack against Djokovic; in the third set, he did not send any break points from the beginning to the end, and repeatedly scored two points in Djokovic's serve. leading edge.

Even in the fourth set, because of his extreme physical strength, he suffered a break behind at the beginning, but after he took a breath, he continued to face the dilemma of break points with clean attacks to reverse the situation and rushed towards victory unstoppably.

In the serve-winning game, Wawrinka missed a match point but also saved a break point, overcame his short-term mental and state fluctuations, and successfully cashed in a backhand straight-line winning point on the second match point.

The audience is strong and far ahead—

Fifty-seven winning points severely suppressed Djokovic's twenty-eight winning points~lightnovelpub.net~ The full force of the oppressive style of play forced Djokovic to appear unimaginable. Seventeen unforced errors.

Data at a glance.

In the end, Djokovic lost the final for the third consecutive year and missed the grand slam; at the same time, Wawrinka once again wrote the miracle of the challenger and won the French Open championship for the first time in his career.

Surprise or not, surprise or not?

Before this year's Roland-Garros kicked off, I am afraid this is the ending that no one could have expected, including Wawrinka himself.

However, along with reaching the top of the French Open, Wawrinka also successfully removed the "Grand Slam" label, and defeated the world's first, the world's second, and the world's third in a row to reach the top, including Federer and Djokovic. A giant, very, very convincing, comparable to Gao Wen's performance at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year.

Those doubts, those denials, and those provocations can all be temporarily stopped.

In addition, an interesting fact is that now Murray, Wawrinka and Gao Wen are all winners of two Grand Slam champions, and none of the three players has been able to reach the top of the world for the time being, so—

Who will win the third seat first?
