Chapter 1541 Wimbledon

At the 2022 Australian Open, Djokovic was refused entry by Australian customs because he refused to be vaccinated, which then caused a farce.

Of course, the whole incident is very complicated and tortuous, far from being that simple. It turned around all the way, and finally ended with Djokovic's deportation, which undoubtedly became the focus of heated discussions on social networks.

But putting aside the incident itself for the time being, Djokovic did not officially withdraw from the game until after the draw ceremony, which had a huge impact on the entire draw. All players, including the top ten in the world, suffered a lot.

A sense of uneasiness of "unable to determine their prospects and position" hangs over the heads of all players like a cloud. Among them, the players who have been patiently waiting for wild card qualifications, seed qualifications, and lucky loser qualifications are the most tormented , there is no other way but to wait for fate.

Of course, that was an exceptional event and the whole situation was rife with controversy and conflict, but in short, the impact on lower ranked players was immediate and impactful, there is no doubt about that.

Generally speaking, people in the tennis industry recommend that top players start professional discussions with their teams, make decisions as soon as possible, and withdraw as much as possible before the draw to reduce the impact; but the reality is often complicated, top players are also ordinary people, It's hard to give up until the last moment.

Ferrer is not the number one in the world, but again, his decisions can have far-reaching consequences.

This time, Ferrer also tried and persevered, but regrettably still couldn't do it. The severity of the injury was beyond imagination, so he withdrew before the draw ceremony to minimize his negative impact on the entire event.

This move won applause and affirmation.

It is precisely because of this that Nadal was replaced as the ninth seed; also because of this, the variables of this year's draw match have further increased-

Maybe Ferrer is not a grass-court master, but the title of "stable man" should not be underestimated. In 2012 and 2013, he reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon in a row, and his performance has been stable, especially in the face of low-ranked players in the world. A big mountain, his absence will also change the competitive landscape in the first week of the event.

Once the dark horse emerges, passes the test of the first week, gains confidence and detonates energy, then the competition pattern in the second week may also be further opened.

Inadvertently, Wimbledon's overall competitive situation is even more complex than Roland-Garros, and various possibilities and potential accidents have sparked early. This year's "Big Four VS Challengers" pattern is fully blooming. The Grand Slam is actually more exciting than the other.

Then, under the spotlight of all eyes, came the Wimbledon draw.

There are surprises and surprises, turmoil and expectations in signing the table—

The matchup of the top eight is bloody.

In the first half, Djokovic-Kei Nishikori, Wawrinka-Raonic.

Bottom half, Murray - Gawain, Federer - Berdych.

Oh, oh oh, amazed again and again, the media booed and cheered one after another, this draw is definitely full of attention.

First of all, Djokovic and Kei Nishikori, Federer and Berdych, after last month's Roland Garros, form the quarter-finals for the second consecutive Grand Slam, but the point is that the two groups are facing each other They failed to make the trip in Paris. Will they be able to join forces when they come to Wimbledon this time?

Secondly, the matchups between Wawrinka and Raonic, Murray and Gawain are all sparks.

In the former, Raonic is good at grass, and Wawrinka did not advance to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon for the first time in his career until last year, so Raonic, who has returned from injury, may not have no hope of defeating Wawrinka to replicate last year's performance.

The latter, Gao Wen, the most eye-catching player in the lottery, did not enter the Djokovic half area as expected by the melon-eaters, but formed a confrontation with Murray. Once the two players join forces, it will be Australia. The rematch of the net semi-finals has a lot to watch. After all, Murray is the number one favorite to win Wimbledon this year, and Gawain is the most uncertain bomb in this year's Wimbledon.

Of course, with Gao Wen entering the small division where Murray is located, this also means that the first Grand Slam meeting between Gao Wen and Federer still needs to undergo some tests. Unless Gao Wen can break through Murray's barrier, otherwise "Federer VS Gao Wen" will have to wait for his debut in a Grand Slam.

As the current number two in the world, Gao Wen is fully attacking the rule of the Big Four—

At present, he has played against the Big Four five times in the Grand Slam in his career. Gao Wen has maintained a record of unbeaten victories. He defeated Djokovic twice, Nadal twice, and Murray once, which is indeed impressive.

And it is very worth mentioning that Gao Wen has completed two of the three major feats of "challenging Djokovic at the Australian Open", "challenging Nadal at the French Open" and "challenging Federer at Wimbledon", and both ended in victories. Naturally, people were looking forward to witnessing Gao Wen complete the third item.

However, after the draw came out, Murray said that if he wanted to challenge Federer, he had to pass him.

Therefore, there are surprises and surprises in this signing. Many people who eat melons can't wait to predict the follow-up development.

Wait, what about Nadal?

The ninth seed, which division does it end up in?

Maybe Nadal is not a master on grass, and his state has been ups and downs this season, but as a giant, never underestimate Nadal's potential, especially in the Grand Slam stage, as long as he can successfully survive the first week of the test, Nadal It is the most dangerous opponent.

Answer-

Zone 2/4.

That is, the division of Wawrinka and Raonic.

After Roland Garros, Nadal once again played the role of a spoiler. Instead of fighting with the other Big Three in advance, he won the opportunity to enter the semi-finals and complete the meeting.

A bold imagination, if Nadal can enter the second week, facing Raonic, he will undoubtedly have the upper hand, and then facing Wawrinka, Nadal also has an advantage in the match, if he breaks into the semi-finals , and finally face Djokovic across the net, then the semi-finals may once again reproduce the feat of the Big Four joining forces.

Last month at Roland Garros, there was an opportunity to complete such a classic picture, however, the Challenger Alliance teamed up to break the picture and made their voices heard.

Now come to Wimbledon~lightnovelpub.net~ The four giants once again have the opportunity to re-establish their majesty and dominance, and suppress the challenger's impact.

Just thinking about it, I can't help but feel excited——

With Wawrinka defeating Djokovic to reach the top of the French Open, only Wimbledon has not yet been captured by the challenger in the four Grand Slams.

Australian Open, Wawrinka in 2014, Gawain in 2015.

French Open, Wawrinka in 2015.

US Open, Del Potro in 2009, Gawain in 2014.

These three Grand Slams have all ushered in breakthroughs successively. The challengers broke through the blockade to reach the top championship, but Wimbledon did not.

Since Federer reached the top in 2003, the championship has always been firmly grasped by the four giants, Federer from 2003 to 2007, 2009 and 2012, Nadal in 2008 and 2010, Djoko in 2011 and 2014 Vichy and Murray in 2013 have never been left behind for twelve years.

There is no doubt that Wimbledon is the strongest and most stable Grand Slam of the Big Four. Maybe it is not a dream for the Big Four to meet the top four this year?
