The latest website: The wind is blowing, and there are many upsets.

In the 2015 US Open, just on the first day of the match, the attrition rate of the seeded players playing in the women's singles field was as high as 33.33%. Is this a curse or something?

Apart from Ivanovic, Ka Pliskova, Navarro—

The 21st seed Jankovic lost in three sets to the French rookie Oceane-Dodin (Oceane-Dodin) born in 1996, the 29th seed Stephens lost two sets to compatriot Van der Weghe, the 30th Seed Kuznetsova lost to another French rookie Mladenovic.

In a blink of an eye, only twelve of the eighteen seeded players in the upper half remained.

Of course, Serena Williams' performance is still strong. Facing the difficult Vitalia-Diatchenko (Vitalia-Diatchenko), she sent a wave of shock waves for eight consecutive rounds, "6:0", "2:0 "When leading, the opponent retired due to injury, and easily advanced to the second round in less than an hour.

Although she is the defending champion, for Serena Williams, the real focus of this year's US Open is the annual Grand Slam. She has taken a solid first step, proving once again that she is still a well-deserved player in the chaos of today's women's tennis world. The king of the game is not on the same level as other players at all.

Perhaps, Serena Williams' only opponent is herself. After all, one of the biggest challenges of the annual Grand Slam comes from physical injuries and fatigue.

In other words, the WTA is still in troubled times.

For one thing, ATP isn't much better.

Originally, the WTA has always been lacking in stability, full of chaos, and the side has further set off the strength of Serena Williams, but the ATP has always been strong. The strength and stability of the Big Four have built a golden age. Not only them, but the overall performance of other players Also always stable.

It is precisely because of this that last year's U.S. Open semi-finals both broke out so shockingly, but I did not expect that the turmoil of this year's U.S. Open kicked off early.

The biggest upset in men's singles is from the 2/4 area—

Kei Nishikori, the sixth seed, was upset.

This year's North American summer hard court season, Kei Nishikori performed very well, the champion in Washington and the top eight in Toronto. Although he withdrew from the Cincinnati event due to injury, professionals generally believe that this is a tactical retirement. Go to the US Open with great energy and confidence.

This time against the French "lady" Parley, although he lost one set first, Kei Nishikori quickly regained his form, pulled two sets in a row, and won two match points "6:4" in the tie-break of the third set However, at the critical moment, a forehand error went off the net to send his own serve point, and missed the opportunity to end the game.

Then, Parley saved the second match point with an ACE, and after narrowly escaping, he completed the reversal in one go and eliminated Kei Nishikori in five sets.

Kei Nishikori became the only top ten seeded player who was eliminated from the men's singles on the first match day, achieving the feat of Perret's third career victory over the world's top ten—

The previous two were del Potro in Rome in 2013 and Wawrinka in Montreal.

For Kei Nishikori, the season is unsatisfactory. After the highlight last year, this year’s Australian Open and French Open have stopped in the quarter-finals respectively. Wimbledon and the US Open are both rounds, especially last year’s quarter-finals. Kei Nishikori's world ranking is likely to slip to the edge of the top ten.

The neon media was silent.

To be honest, they have great expectations. Kei Nishikori and Kowain are the Asian twin stars. Like Federer and Wawrinka, they shoulder all the hopes of the tennis world, guide countless young players in Asia, and look forward to improving other competitive sports. Confidence.

Especially when Kei Nishikori performed so well in the warm-up match, the expectations of the neon media have also been rising steadily—

A bold and crazy imagination, if Kei Nishikori and Gao Wen both break into the semi-finals, it will definitely be a rare sight. This year, it is possible to realize it, because the two players are in the 2/4 area, 4/ In the 4th district, as long as they can advance step by step, there is hope to make history.

However…

I was so surprised and shocked that I couldn't speak, not even exclaim.

After the game, Kei Nishikori said that New York is particularly sweltering this year.

Compared with Melbourne, Paris, and London, the muggy heat in New York is slightly different. It is humid and heavy, but at the same time accompanied by strong winds, the physical condition cannot be maintained in a stable state, which poses a severe test for the adjustment and adaptation of the players. Therefore, in the fourth In the tiebreaker, Kei Nishikori was distracted.

Kei Nishikori also realized that he had not adjusted to his best form, but Parley did perform better at critical moments, so the result was very disappointing.

Kei Nishikori's exit is not an exception.

In the ATP arena, there has been a frenzy of withdrawals, which is too frequent and too unexpected, and even the US Open officials have expressed concern.

Anduar, Krizan, Stepanek, Dolgopolov, Lu Yanxun, etc. all retired due to injuries during the game.

The situation is clearly abnormal.

Including Nadal also mentioned the relevant situation in the post-match interview—

Facing Coric, Nadal performed very well. He defeated his opponent in four sets, won this focus match, and successfully advanced to the second round, which brought some surprises.

In the first two sets, Nadal's performance can indeed be seen to be getting better and better. With a sweeping attitude, he hardly gave his opponent a chance; but in the third set, Nadal sweated very badly. Coupled with the cold wind, the temperature of the night game The drop was more pronounced, causing him abdominal pain.

At that time, the overall physical condition declined significantly, and the state of the game fluctuated accordingly, and finally lost this set.

But Nadal was still experienced, overcame his physical condition, regained his focus in the fourth set, and accepted the victory.

Weather conditions are indeed playing a spoiler role.

From Kei Nishikori's upset exit to the frenzy of retirements in the men's singles arena, there are all indications that this is an extraordinary event.

Even the U.S. Open Organizing Committee did not expect that the pre-match injury troubles continued to the main match retirement due to injury, and emergencies followed one after another. The full camp of injuries was even a bit shocking. It was also an unprecedented first in a Grand Slam.

Moreover, this is only the first match day, which is worrying.

Looking at it from another angle~lightnovelpub.net~ There were too many unexpected situations on the first match day, and other players also saw them all. When preparing for the second match day, they and the team will also Preparing in advance according to the actual situation can reduce the impact of weather conditions to a certain extent.

Maybe, with the in-depth advancement of the event, unexpected situations can be effectively controlled...?

Of course, despite a series of accidents, on the first match day of the US Open, the top players and focus players still showed their focus and dedication.

Among them, the match between Murray and Kyrgios really lived up to expectations, "7:5", "6:3", "4:6", "6:1", Murray won four sets.

From the perspective of intensity and excitement, this game is comparable to the "Nadal VS Coric" game, and it really did not live up to people's expectations. It seemed unconstrained, and the quality of the first three sets was worthy of recognition.

By the fourth set, an absent-minded Kyrgios delivered the victory without a hitch, as always, in the same style, which is not a surprise.
