When the 2015 Vienna Tennis Open came to an end, there was a burst of joy—

Despite the high expectations, Tim still failed to find the feeling and his performance was disappointing. He was ranked fifth seed but was eliminated in the first round, which was extremely disappointing.

But overall, the results of the Youth Storm Finals perfectly met the expectations of the event, and its precise market positioning was well received by the audience.

The same is true for media reporters.

Ding!

Gao Wen's world ranking points have increased again, and the points gap between the world's first and the second has further narrowed, oh yeah!

However…

It is a very, very regretful thing that despite all the celebrations, Vienna was still unable to steal the spotlight from Basel, and the focus was still there.

Subtlely similar to the Vienna tournament, the host favorite was also upset in the first round.

This time, it was Wawrinka.

After the US Open ended, although Wawrinka won the championship in Neon, Wawrinka's subsequent state declined a bit quickly. Both Magic City and Basel performed poorly. The end-of-season syndrome is becoming more and more prominent, even for Wawrinka. Such tour veterans cannot be avoided after all.

But it doesn't matter, because the two top stars have become box office guarantees -

Federer and Nadal held their heads high all the way. Although they encountered some challenges and twists and turns, in the end the two giants found a way to win.

A smooth meeting!

Over there, the Vienna final, "Gawain VS Dimitrov".

Here, the Basel final, "Federer VS Nadal".

Vienna was resigned to the defeat. Even Gawain, who was rising strongly, still had to stand aside in the face of the legendary "Feiner Showdown".

Not to mention Gao Wen, even the "De Fei Jue" and "Dena Jue", which have written countless history, are still slightly less topical than the "Fei Na Jue".

It was with the support of Federer and Nadal that Basel still stole the limelight from Vienna, withstood the impact and completed another successful event.

In the end, Federer defeated his old rival Nadal in three hard sets to win the championship.

Cheers, one cheer!

There is no doubt that winning or losing is the focus, and every meeting between Federer and Nadal is no exception, but this season, it is slightly different.

Beyond victory and defeat—

Federer swept away the haze of an upset exit in the first match in the Magic City, regained his touch, and showed his competitiveness before the final showdown at the end of the year.

This is even more true for Nadal. After a terrible sluggish season, the Spanish Bulls have made a strong recovery. They have made four consecutive semi-finals in the imperial capital and the Basel final, and quietly entered the championship ranks again.

The two kings have proven the same truth time and time again with practical actions, and they should never be easily excluded.

forever!

Originally, everyone exclaimed that the battle for the world's No. 1 ranking at the end of the year was the only focus, but Nadal's strong recovery once again disrupted the battle and changed the situation. He joined Federer, Djokovic and Murray to form four. A new prosperous era with the return of the giants and the rise of the fifth giant.

Wonderful, wonderful!

Just when people thought that there was no suspense about the US Open final as the best match of the year, now it seems that the year-end finals are the real **** match.

Just imagining it in my mind makes my blood boil uncontrollably——

In the year-end finals, who is in charge?

In such a year where many heroes compete for supremacy and supremacy, who can become the champion? Djokovic and Gauvin are undoubtedly the first team, but Federer, Nadal, Murray, and Wawrinka must not be underestimated. In a literal sense, they all have the ability to reach the top.

So, before the final battle begins, there is one last warm-up.

The last Masters event of the year is held in Paris.

Last year on this day, there were two suspenses.

One is Federer or Djokovic, who can become the world number one at the end of the year?

Second, who can catch the last train to London to compete?

At this time this year, the suspense remains.

However, in an interview, Berdych made a rare little joke, "In previous years, I was very happy to go to London to participate in the finals. Of course, this year is no exception. It is an honor to be able to step onto the O2 Arena; but honestly Said, I’m not sure I want to go.”

In fact, the seats for the year-end finals have been basically determined.

Djokovic, Gauvin, Federer, Murray, Wawrinka, these five seats are all confirmed, and they will all appear at the O2 Arena.

Berdych and Nadal have also been basically determined. Although the overall performance of the two players in the season is average, Berdych has remained relatively stable, while Nadal has made a strong recovery in the Asian season and the European hard court season, which also makes them at the end of the year. Take advantage of the competition for a spot in the finals.

Of course, suspense still exists. After all, starting from sixth place, the points gap is relatively small. The points from the Paris Masters can completely disrupt all rankings.

But overall, the fate of Berdych and Nadal is in their own hands. As long as they avoid the dilemma of early elimination, even if there is a situation like last year when Gao Wen unexpectedly reached the top, they can still secure their seats with their points advantage.

In other words, seven seats, not much suspense.

The only suspense lies in eighth place.

From a theoretical perspective, the Paris Masters championship is worth a thousand points, so as long as you win the championship, you can overturn the situation, and there will be more candidates.

Ferrer, Dimitrov, Kei Nishikori, Tsonga, Gasquet, Anderson, all have a chance to win the last spot in the finals.

Among them, the fate of Ferrer, Dimitrov and Kei Nishikori is in their own hands. Among the three players, whoever can go further will have a greater chance of advancing to the finals.

It is more difficult for Tsonga, Gasquet, Anderson and others. Unless they can win the championship, they need to perform well while other competitors perform poorly in order to seize a glimmer of hope.

Competition is still fierce.

So, what happened to Berdych’s words?

Looking at the lineup, there are four giants who have been at the top for many years, a new giant who comes out of the blue to disrupt the situation, and a potential giant who may disrupt the situation at any time. UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.comｍIn other words, regardless of the finals No matter how they are grouped, I am afraid they are all groups of death, and the intensity of competition is unprecedented.

For Berdych and the eighth player to be decided, they must be under a lot of pressure. Not only the media, but they themselves can also feel it -

Maybe they went to London to study with the prince?

The year-end finals are the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone is flocking to the top of the Huashan Mountain. But if you think about it from another angle, it is precisely on such a spotlight-shrouded stage that you have been reduced to a foil and a wallflower. The feeling is probably indescribable, and , what’s even scarier than a Grand Slam is:

In the Grand Slam, losing is just one game; in the year-end finals, the group stage is a round-robin showdown, and you may lose several games in a row if you are not careful.

That is a kind of torture.

It's no wonder that Berdych, who has always been good-tempered, made a self-deprecating joke. He didn't need the media and netizens to remind him that he had already smelled the storm.
