Wow!

There was a din, and the bustling discussions were like a carbonated drink that was shaken vigorously and then the bottle cap was unscrewed, and it exploded in a mighty way.

Toronto, Murray tops.

Federer wins Cincinnati.

Djokovic, Toronto and Cincinnati both made it to the finals but lost.

This is definitely a scene that has not been experienced so far this year. The scrimmage situation of ATP seems to be pushed to a new peak in the North American season.

The point is not Murray's championship or Federer's championship. Both are giant players. Their victories are very convincing, and there is nothing to question.

The point, in fact, lies in Djokovic's "weakness". The end of the seven-game winning streak against Murray and the three-game winning streak against Federer is just a microcosm. It once again awakened the Australian Open final loss to Gawain and the French Open final loss to Wallin. Card's memory, everything is deja vu—

The stability and strength of the world's No. 1 is beyond doubt, and it is very dominant. All the three Grand Slams this year have advanced to the finals. So far, all seven Masters have broken into at least the semi-finals except for Madrid, which did not participate. Such performance is enough to stand out from the crowd , is well-deservedly number one in the world.

However, they have repeatedly hit the wall in the final stage, from Gawain to Wawrinka, more explosive and impactful players can always overturn Djokovic; now in the North American summer hard court season, from Murray to Federer, Shuangshuang ended their losing streak, and it was the final stage again.

So, what does this mean?

Of course, this is a topic for Djokovic and his coaching staff to consider, but there is no doubt that the competitive situation at the US Open is wide open.

The overall situation of the first three Grand Slams so far this year is relatively clear—

In the spring season, Gawain swept the Australian Open, Indian Wells, and Miami.

In the clay court season, Djokovic and Murray entered Roland Garros unbeaten.

In the grass court season, Djokovic and Murray once again maintained a complete victory and debuted at Wimbledon.

Of course, "total victory" does not mean that the players will definitely be able to win the championship, but a situation, a situation, and the winning echelon is also clear at a glance. However, the focus of attention is relatively concentrated.

And now?

This time I came to Flushing, it was different—

There is no absolute strength, no lead, no biggest favorite.

The only one who can be regarded as the "undefeated golden body" is Federer. His performance of reaching the top without losing a set in Cincinnati is indeed very convincing, but Federer is absent from the Rogers Cup, and his physical and injury conditions need to be marked with a question mark; There is no complete victory in one race.

After all, the next is the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the year; it is also the Grand Slam with the most accidents caused by injuries, physical fitness, and mental pressure. Single champion, this is the most intuitive set of evidence.

Looking back at last year, Federer and Djokovic both stopped the shocking upset of the semi-finals, even a year later, it is still shocking.

This year, the unknown has reached a whole new level.

Maybe, Federer, Murray, Djokovic, this can be regarded as the first echelon, but everyone has their own shortcomings, and the advantages are not obvious.

Perhaps, the Challenger League can bring surprises, from Chardy in Toronto to Dolgopolov in Cincinnati, and Wawrinka and Gasquet, who have improved significantly throughout the season, and Faye Lopez, who is slowly recovering Cilic, Cilic, plus Nadal who is in an unknown state.

Perhaps, Youth Storm can seize the opportunity again, not only Raonic, Dimitrov, Tomic and others, but also a group of younger rising stars, Tim, Zverev Jr., Coric, Ruble Lev, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Everything is possible.

At this moment, I can deeply feel the splendor of this year's ATP, which is about to reach a new height in New York. It really presents the posture of a hundred schools of thought contending for the throne, and the head-on collision between you and me will be held in Farah Sheng ushered in a peak duel on the top of the Forbidden City.

Who can climb to the top?

Who can be a surprise?

Who can overturn the situation?

In fact, after Cincinnati ended, it can be seen from the world rankings that the much-anticipated battle for world No. A throne, the biggest suspense has come to an end.

Although Gao Wen broke into the semi-finals in Toronto, he unfortunately missed Cincinnati and failed to further improve the ranking points. On the contrary, Djokovic performed well this year. Like the clay season, he went further than last year. Points do not fall but rise.

The gap opened again like this.

First, Djokovic,.

Second, Gao Wen,.

Third, Federer, 9415.

Fourth, Murray, 8040.

The ranking position has not changed, but the difference in scores has changed very significantly.

The point gap between Djokovic and Gao Wen, Gao Wen and Federer has both expanded to more than 2,000 points, which is a very obvious gap.

In other words, in the next U.S. Open, even if Gao Wen defends his title and Djokovic is out in the first round, the world's No. 1 throne will not change; The second and third positions will not change, everything remains the same.

but!

Once Gao Wen is unable to defend the title, the point gap between Gao Wen and Djokovic will be completely widened~lightnovelpub.net~ Perhaps the suspense of being number one in the world at the end of this year can come to an early end.

Because of this, although the world's number one will not be out of position in a short time, the suspense of the world ranking is still worth looking forward to, involving the trend of the entire second half of the season.

Fifth, Wawrinka.

Sixth, Kei Nishikori.

Seventh, Berdych.

Eighth, Ferrer.

Ninth, Nadal.

Tenth, Cilic.

Although not much has changed, Raonic also fell out of the top ten in the world like Dimitrov, while Cilic quietly returned to the top ten.

Next, Cilic also has the US Open runner-up points to protect, which is also a severe challenge for Cilic.

Compared with Roland-Garros and Wimbledon, the battle for the number one in the world is no longer the focus, but the scuffle situation where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend is more exciting and more attractive. Just analyzing it on paper, there are too many possibilities.

I can't control my excitement and excitement.

Among the giants, there are highlights and suspense of the giants, including Nadal, who is in a downturn.

The Challenger League and Youth Storm also have their own points of view, and there are countless known and unknown situations.

The hustle and bustle, the hustle and bustle, however, amidst the turbulent discussions, I always feel that something is missing, and it doesn't take much effort to find the crux of the matter—

Gao Wen.

Gao Wen, who has always been the focus of the topic since the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, is the focus of attention when he comes to the US Open, but now Gao Wen is still recovering from his injuries, so he is inevitably a little lonely.

So, what about Gao Wen?
