For various reasons, the 2/4 area is known as the death area.

Among the new generation, there is Kyrgios, an uncertain time bomb; among the backbone players, there are two elusive seeds, Wawrinka and Raonic; among the giant players, it is Nadal who has fallen into mystery this season.

Of course, never underestimate a giant, the reason why a giant is called a giant is not without reason—

Three weeks ago, Nadal went to Stuttgart to start his grass court season. He performed strongly all the way, regained his form, and reached the final championship. This is also Nadal's first grass court championship in five years since the 2010 Wimbledon championship. , seems to have finally regained some status.

Immediately afterwards, Nadal came to London non-stop to participate in the Queen's Club Cup, but lost to the strange player Alexandr-Dolgopolov (Alexandr-Dolgopolov) in three sets in the first round. The ups and downs continued this year Uncertainty since then is elusive.

Uncertain, unstable, restless—

This is describing Nadal, Kyrgios, and Wawrinka and Raonic. All the unknown factors of anxiety are magnified to the extreme on the grass, showing a posture that is completely different from clay but has the same effect. , leaving space for writing different possibilities.

Therefore, the 2/4 zone is called the death zone, and it is also a microcosm of "Big Four VS Challengers", a full-scale melee.

Again, in the 3/4 area, the matchup between Murray and Gao Wen.

In fact, purely from the point of view of the top eight matchups, this is undoubtedly the place of death in the four major divisions. Murray, who is considered by countless professionals to be the biggest favorite to win Wimbledon this year, happened to encounter the leader of the Challenger League Gao Wen, this duel is also known as Mars hitting the Earth.

After the lottery was released, professionals said that for Murray, Gao Wen may be the championship test. Once he can break through Gao Wen's barrier, then Murray's championship appearance will shine brightly. Whether it is Federer or Germany Both Jokovic and Murray can gain more confidence.

From Murray's point of view, the lottery is really...terrible; but from Gao Wen's point of view, the Chinese media all think that it's a good sign.

The reason is not complicated. It's not that he thinks Murray is the weakest link among the Big Four, but because Gao Wen is not good at grass and everything in front of him is unfamiliar. Everything is unknown, and under such circumstances, it is the best choice for Gao Wen to face Murray, who has a different style of play.

Murray is good at layout and design, forehand and backhand balance, although there are no loopholes, but at the same time lacks the power to break the balance, so Murray's game often lacks an aggressive momentum, even on grass, it is easy to fall into a long round For grassland freshman Gao Wen, this kind of game rhythm is easier to adapt to.

Therefore, the signing is really good.

And, that's not all—

Not only did the Chinese media applaud Gao Wen's signing, but other professionals did not think that the 3/4 area was a death area. The fundamental reason was:

Other players do lack some competitiveness.

In the first three rounds, Murray and Gao Wen will not encounter particularly outstanding or strong players. There should be no problem in advancing to the top 16. It will not be until the fourth round that they will face their first serious challenge.

Murray's matchup in the round of 16 is Tsonga, and Gawain's matchup in the round of 16 is Dimitrov.

For Tsonga, although Roland-Garros performed well and advanced all the way to the top 16, he lost to Gawain in five sets in the final battle. After returning from injury, he adjusted well; but the bad thing is that after the game, the injury relapsed So much so that Tsonga missed the warm-up for the entire grass season.

Although Tsonga did not retire, but under the influence of the injury, how much success he can produce is a big question mark.

Needless to say, Dimitrov has been struggling throughout the season this year. The Queen's Club Cup two weeks ago recovered slightly but was also very limited. In the end, he lost to Anderson and stopped in the quarter-finals. He missed defending the title. Coach Rashid's breakup wasn't happy either.

Coming to Wimbledon this time, Dimitrov appeared almost as a mourner.

That is to say, if there is no accident, Murray and Gao Wen will meet in the quarter-finals. Although the two players are about to start a battle of Huashan, the overall promotion path can be described as smooth. From any point of view, this cannot be said. It is the death zone, but the signing is not bad.

When the lottery came out, the Chinese media breathed a sigh of relief—

Although from the point of view of the promotion route, the matchup path of Murray in the quarter-finals, Federer in the semi-finals, and Djokovic in the finals can be said to be exactly the same as the Australian Open at the beginning of the year. His signing luck has been the best among the four Grand Slam experiences so far.

After all, this is the era of giants. Any player who wants to reach the top of the championship must face the test of more than one giant. This is the usual status quo.

What's more, this is a grass field. Gao Wen, who has only won one loss in his career on the grass field, can pass the test of the first week and stand in front of the Big Four. There is still a big question mark; , it is better to applaud and celebrate the first week of signing.

Finally, in the 4/4 area, the matchup between Federer and Berdych.

Overall, this division is the weakest because the two strongest players are Federer and Berdych, who are best at grass.

Not long ago, both Federer and Berdych participated in Halle's grass court match. In the end, Berdych lost to Karlovic and stopped in the quarter-finals. Federer defeated Seppi to break the curse and reach the championship—

"Seppi's Curse~lightnovelpub.net~ As long as Federer beats Seppi on the road to promotion, the curse that he will not be able to win the championship was finally broken in Halle. In the end, Federer won the championship in Halle for the eighth time in his career. The strong performance of the grass, followed by Murray, has become the favorite to win this year.

On Federer's promotion path, opponents such as Querrey, Sock, and Faye Lopez could not cause too much trouble. After all, the grass is Federer's world, so his first challenge should appear in the quarterfinals. That's Berdych.

Berdych's sub-division also lacks strong opponents. The only opponent to watch out for is Simon in the top 16, but Berdych's strength is still dominant. After all, it is difficult for Simon's grinding skills to be fully utilized in grass courts.

Sign the form, as above.

Looking at the overall situation, the upper half area is obviously more dangerous, while the lower half area is relatively clear.

The gathering of the new generation in the 1/4 area, and the hand-to-hand combat in the 2/4 area can be described as hidden murderous intentions and frightening at every step. The defending champion Djokovic will face some tests.

The 3/4 area is clearly divided, and the 4/4 area is smooth, so it can be said that the pattern is clear and the strengths and weaknesses are distinct, but in fact, the real collision of strengths comes from the second half, the battle between the quarterfinals and the semifinals, and the final stage. There is no match in the half, and Murray and Federer, the two favorites to win the championship, need to meet in advance.

The flames of war are about to be ignited!
