The latest website: Obviously, the battle for the number one in the world is still spreading and will intensify, starting from the clay court season, running through the entire grass court season, and predictably, it will continue to the hard court in the next North American summer season—

Originally, I thought that the clay court season would be settled, but Gao Wen's unexpected and good fight handed in a good answer, and he successfully withstood Djokovic's unparalleled wave of shock, successfully bringing the climax of this drama all the way. Continuously, there is no doubt that it is absolutely exciting.

For fans of Djokovic, this is not good news, and for fans of the other Big Three, it may not be worth shouting and celebrating; but for neutral fans and passerby audiences, this wonderful drama is really exciting. Can't stop, this is the most fascinating part of competitive sports.

and!

The real splendor of the ATP lies not only in the battle for No. 1 in the world between Djokovic and Gao Wen, but also in the fact that the pattern of "Big Four VS Challengers" is sweeping the entire tour. Internal competition has gradually begun to ignite heated discussions and attention—

For example, the semi-finals of "Gaowen VS Wawrinka".

Every year, after the French Open is over, the official organizers will upload the video of the whole game on their YouTube account, following the tradition of the Australian Open, these two Grand Slams have always paid great attention to keeping pace with the times, and are in line with the social network. Actively interact and hopefully appeal to a younger audience.

This year, of course, is no exception.

Originally, people thought that the matches with the highest click-through rate should be "Gauvin VS Nadal", "Wawrinka VS Federer", "Djokovic VS Murray", etc. Even if the final is not so attractive, it is worth paying attention to There are still many matches in Le Dao; but the one who stood out in the end was "Gao Wen VS Wawrinka", and the hit rate of the whole video unexpectedly exceeded 500,000—

Don't forget, the whole game takes more than five hours, and the click-through rate is only calculated after watching for a certain period of time. Most young viewers choose to watch the edited highlights. They don't have enough patience to sit in front of the computer to watch a game that already knows the result. video of the game.

However, the powerful collision between Gao Wen and Wawrinka still attracted a lot of attention, and undoubtedly became the hottest topic after the French Open.

In just three days, the click-through rate of the video of the whole event has exceeded 500,000, and this is just the beginning.

As for the highlights?

That's even more unbelievable. The official highlights of the match between Gao Wen and Wawrinka lasted for eight minutes, and the hit rate has easily exceeded 10 million within three days. It is currently the most played video on the official channel of the French Open. In just a few years since the channel was created, it has been proud of itself.

Moreover, this is also the first video ever to exceed 10 million hits in the highlight highlights of the official YouTube channel of the four Grand Slam tournaments.

Ten million!

People are not surprised by such a result. After all, Gao Wen sits on the entire Chinese and even the entire Asian market, and his appeal has reached a new peak; but what is really surprising is the data itself, 10 million, like a benchmark, marking the global market. The popularity of the range has reached a new high.

Maybe it's because of Gao Wen, maybe it's because of Wawrinka, maybe it's because of the game itself, but the facts are right in front of us. This match has actually further spread the popularity of tennis. Projecting it over, this is the biggest gain.

surprise!

Surprised and happy.

Obviously, before this year's Roland-Garros kicked off, absolutely no one could have foreseen this scene——

Just as no one expected that Wawrinka defeated Djokovic to win the French Open, and no one expected that the most exciting and best-looking matchup at Roland Garros this year would come from two players with "short boards on clay" , Gawain and Wawrinka devoted themselves to a five-hour fierce battle.

Long after the Roland-Garros war extinguished, this semi-final was still talked about by people. It was on par with the Australian Open final at the beginning of the year. It was repeatedly mentioned by countless professionals and senior fans. They generally believed that these two games The competition should be the best strong alternate of the year.

If the soul-stirring battle of the century in Melbourne Park came from the battle between the old and the new of Djokovic and Gao Wen, the giants still played an important role; Giants have nothing to do, showing a whole new world beyond giants—

It can be seen from the side that the current ATP is indeed full of contention. In addition to the giants duel, the collision within the Challenger League is also attracting more and more attention and attention. The increase in average strength and the breakthrough of the overall upper limit are reflected in the competition. In every way, the game is getting better and better.

For ordinary fans and passersby, this is a good thing, a great thing.

The second half of the world ranking list, to some extent, can also spy on this point, which is more tense, more exciting, and more intense at the same time.

Because the points gap is even smaller, maybe even 50 points and 100 points, the difference in performance in one race may bring completely different results.

Fourth, Murray.

Fifth, Wawrinka.

Sixth, Kei Nishikori.

Seventh, Berdych.

Eighth, Ferrer.

Ninth, Raonic.

Tenth, Nadal.

In this range, there are not many changes, but all of them are noteworthy.

First, Tsonga, Dimitrov and Cilic fell out of the top ten, but Raonic, who missed the entire clay court season due to injury, has not yet been eliminated.

Of course, this is not surprising. Both Tsonga and Cilic have returned from injury, while Dimitrov has been plagued by pressure. Eye performance, but lost stability and continuity, which is undoubtedly fatal—

In the fierce competition of the top ten and top twenty in the world ~lightnovelpub.net~ If you can't continue to output outstanding performances in different events, you will gradually withdraw from the top competition.

Not only them, Raonic is no exception.

Last year, Raonic ushered in a transformation and made a breakthrough in the grass season. Not only did he advance to the semi-finals of the Grand Slam for the first time in his career, but he also broke into the top ten in the world rankings. He deservedly became the leader of the new generation of storms.

However, those brilliance are already the story of last year, which also means that Raonic will face huge pressure to keep points in the grass season this year. Like Dimitrov, if he is not careful, the world ranking may rise When the avalanche comes, the self-confidence that has been built up through hard work will face challenges again. .

This is definitely not the result Raonic wants to see.

I chose surgery to prevent future troubles, and simply missed the entire clay court season, recuperated and recovered well, and then went all out for the grass court season. I look forward to being able to shine again on my best field, and even make further breakthroughs. Go up a floor.

This should be a deliberate decision by Raonic and the coaching team. Judging from the results of the clay court season, this is obviously a wise choice.
