Chapter 1491 Ranking Observation

An interesting but frustrating fact is:

Although Wawrinka and Gao Wen successively broke through the blockade of the giants to reach the top of the Grand Slam, and made breakthroughs in both the Masters and the world rankings, and won a place in the ATP peak field with dignity; however, the controversies and doubts surrounding them have never been Never stopped.

Of course, Murray is no exception.

A series of media have repeatedly referred to Murray as a member of the giants, but the voices of provocation, questioning, and cursing have always lingered, bustling with complaints about "the virtue does not match", and "should be the Big Three instead of the Big Four". Even Murray needs to keep proving himself.

However, the situation has changed slightly now.

At the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, Gao Wen defeated the three giants of Nadal, Murray and Djokovic in a row and became the champion. His strong performance once again completed the transformation.

In this French Open, Wawrinka defeated the world's third, the world's second, and the world's number one in a row to complete the three-level challenge to reach the championship and was crowned the crown again.

Moreover, it cannot be forgotten that since this year, Wawrinka has advanced to the semi-finals at the Australian Open and Gawain at the French Open. His performance in the first half of the year is absolutely outstanding, and he will undoubtedly gain a firm foothold in the top ranks.

Thanks to this, the number of flies around Wawrinka and Gao Wen was significantly reduced, and the bustling doubts and complaints obediently shut their mouths. This is the world of competitive sports. If you want to shut up Heizi, victory is always the best A single champion can solve everything—

If it's not enough, get another one.

In a blink of an eye, the number of Grand Slam champions from Murray, Gawain, and Wawrinka has quietly equalized, with two each.

So, who will be the first to break through and complete the transformation, and win the third Grand Slam championship trophy?

However, this does not mean that Gao Wen and Wawrinka are already comparable to Murray, and it does not mean that they can be promoted to the ranks of giants.

The title of "giant" not only needs to be strong, but also needs to be stable.

Looking at one of Murray's data, it is clear at a glance:

Since reaching the final at the Australian Open in 2011 and completely completing his transformation, Murray's performance in the Grand Slam has always been stable. Except for the absence of the French Open due to injury in 2013, Murray has entered the quarterfinals for 17 consecutive times. Among them, He has advanced to the semi-finals six times, the finals four times, and the championship twice.

In other words, in nearly four and a half years, Murray's Grand Slam performance has at least reached the quarter-finals, which also includes a period of career trough due to injuries, but Murray's performance in top events Still stable, the world ranking has always been stable in the top ten ranks.

Therefore, even though there are frequent controversies and opinions, the mainstream media still ranks Murray among the giants without hesitation.

In other words, the performances of Gawain and Wawrinka are good enough, very, very good. They have both proved that they have the ability to beat giants; they also have the ability to beat giants consecutively in the same Grand Slam event. Hit the threshold of the Big Four.

However, they still lack stability.

Wawrinka was only eliminated in the first round of the French Open last year, and Gao Wen has only played three Grand Slams in his career. It is still too impatient to call him a "giant".

But no one can deny that the level of the two players, Gao Wen and Wawrinka, is very, very close to that of Murray. They just need to continue to perform at the top and continue to output in the Masters and Grand Slams. Then, the peak pattern of the ATP will be Change will slowly take place, the storm is coming.

There is no doubt that the "Big Four VS Challengers", this big drama, is indeed getting more and more exciting.

The annual Roland-Garros finally came to an end, but it ended in a way that surprised everyone—

Serena Williams won her 20th Grand Slam title at the French Open, where she was least good at and performed worst, and the WTA chaos officially came to an end.

The ATP battlefield is full of gunpowder, not Nadal, nor Djokovic, but Wawrinka broke out again, laughing proudly in a super **** state.

In 2015, halfway through the season, there were surprises and surprises, but the excitement was still there, especially the battle for "World No. 1", where the trend was a little unexpected.

Throughout this year's clay court season, one of the core themes throughout is, how is Gao Wen's performance, and can he challenge for the throne of the world's number one?

The clay court season has just started. Federer's upset exit in Monte Carlo gave him the second place in the world. Gao Wen broke the giant's ten-year monopoly. Rushing towards both Djokovic and Gao Wen.

However, judging by the results—

Gao Wen is still too young, at least on clay courts, he has not been able to continue his strength on hard courts, but it doesn't matter, his career has only just started, and there will be a long time in the future to slowly adapt and continuously improve his competitiveness on different courts. Positive feedback from first clay court season.

Djokovic is still the most powerful and best player in the world. With the two masters champions in Monte Carlo and Rome, and the runner-up in Roland Garros, his overall performance is even better than last year. Dahl's sluggish state became the new ruler of the clay.

Experts have analyzed the situation before.

Indeed, Gao Wen's entire clay court season and grass court season are all room for points increase, and any performance can increase his ranking points.

But don't forget that Djokovic still has room to increase points in the clay court season, and he is not necessarily passive.

Facts also prove this point.

On Monday, June 8, 2015, ATP announced the latest world ranking—

As expected.

First, Djokovic, 12805.

Second, Gao Wen, 10620.

Third, Federer, 9415.

The rankings of the top three are consistent with the rankings after Monte Carlo, but the specific scores have changed drastically, and the gap is completely different~lightnovelpub.net~ Moreover, it is two-way.

Before the start of the clay court season, Federer was 210 points ahead of Gawain; at the end of the clay court season, Gawain was 1205 points ahead of Federer.

This also means that until the end of the grass court season, Federer will not be able to surpass Gao Wen. After all, Federer entered the final at Wimbledon last year and unfortunately lost, and finally won the runner-up. Even if he wins this year, the room for points increase is very limited and cannot be reversed A point gap of 1,200 points.

Gawain's world number two is as stable as Mount Tai, and he waited until the North American season to make waves again; but obviously, what the media is most concerned about is not Gawain and Federer, but Gawain and Djokovic, "the world's number one" Can the exciting battle be resolved in the grass season?

Very, very unfortunately, the answer is no.

Djokovic firmly defended his throne with his unparalleled performance in the clay court season, and once again proved his strength with practical actions. It is no wonder that after losing the French Open final, Djokovic was very disappointed but still full of confidence. I believe that I will be able to reach the top of the championship when I make a comeback next year.

This self-confidence is not just a casual talk, he possesses such ability, and at the same time shows such strength.
