For tennis lovers, before 2005, it was the era of stars shining in the golden generation. The top 20 or even the top 30 players in the world had strong competitiveness in the Masters and Grand Slams. Ownership is full of suspense; after 2005, it is the era of the Big Four.

Roger Federer in 1981, Rafael Nadal in 1986, Novak Djokovic in 1987, Andy Murray in 1987.

This is the "Big Four" who have jointly ruled men's tennis for a full decade.

Since Federer reached the top of the world in February 2004, Nadal reached the top of the world for the first time in August 2008, Djokovic for the first time in May 2011, and Murray for the first time in August 2009. Came to the second in the world (in November 2016, it was the first in the world for the first time).

The top four positions in the world are basically dominated by four players; at the same time, the feat of winning the semi-finals four times in the Grand Slam and three times in the Masters is also unprecedented and rare.

More importantly, even if one or two of them accidentally fall behind, the other giants will always be able to steadily appear in the semi-finals and even the finals to defend their honor.

Taking Nadal's top French Open in 2005 as a turning point, in the past ten years—

In terms of the number of Grand Slam titles, Federer has 17, Nadal has 14, Djokovic has 7, and Murray has 2.

In terms of the number of Masters championships, Federer has 23, Nadal has 27, Djokovic has 19, and Murray has 9.

From 2005 to 2014, the final Grand Slam championship did not belong to any one of the Big Four. There were only two times, Del Potro's US Open in 2009 and Wawrinka's Australian Open in 2014; and the Masters final championship did not belong to Any one of the Big Four has more, but it is also very limited, a total of fifteen times.

The Masters, a total of nine stations throughout the year, a total of 90 stations in ten years, but only lost 15 times. Among them, the Paris Masters held at the end of the year is undoubtedly the event with the weakest dominance of the Big Four. During this period, they lost a total of six times.

In addition, among the fifteen non-big four championships, Nikolai Davydenko (-Davydenko), known as the "model worker", won three championships in total, and is also the player with the most Masters titles among active players outside the Big Four .

Once, some people criticized Murray because the number of championships was far from being comparable to that of the other Big Three, thinking that Murray could not be comparable to the other three players.

But the fact is that in the era of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, Murray is the only player who can match them, and the only player who can break their **** of the championship. .

The most intuitive thing is that as of the 2014 US Open, the record of Murray and the other three players is worth mentioning:

Against Federer, 11 wins and 11 losses; against Nadal, six wins and 15 losses; against Djokovic, eight wins and 13 losses.

Regardless of the ratio of wins and losses, at least it can be seen that Murray has the ability to fight against them and is at the same level.

It is precisely because of this that Davydenko has won the most three Masters championships outside the "Big Four", and Wawrinka, who performed best this year, only has one Grand Slam and one Masters; but Murray Already won nine Masters championships and two Grand Slams, which is enough for him to occupy a place among the ranks of the Big Four.

A few small data can clearly see the extraordinary dominance of the Big Four. It is precisely because of this that even if a player can break into the top four in the world ranking and break the blockade, it will become the material of the media.

Finally, since the French Open in 2005, at least one of the Big Four has been seen in 38 consecutive Grand Slam finals. In 2009, Del Potro defeated Federer to reach the top at the US Open. Dahl's ascension to the summit also continued the tradition of the past ten years.

The "Big Four" are absolutely well deserved.

There is no doubt that this year's US Open is still developing in the preset direction.

Although Nadal was absent due to injury, Djokovic and Federer as the top two seeds firmly entered the semi-finals, and Murray, who lost to Djokovic in the quarter-finals, gradually found himself after returning from injury feel.

In the semi-finals, Djokovic and Federer’s respective opponents were “dark horses”. Both players entered the semi-finals of the US Open for the first time. It seemed that they could not shake the strength of the Big Four. Everyone was guessing. What happened at Wimbledon a few months ago is about to be repeated in Flushing.

Early on, people began to discuss whether Djokovic won his eighth Grand Slam trophy, or Federer won a record eighteenth Grand Slam gold cup and returned to the world's No. 1 throne. The upcoming US Open final will once again continue the suspense of Wimbledon.

It was bustling, and the audience was already gearing up to look forward to it. The two wallflowers, Gao Wen and Cilic, were like the male number two in a love idol drama. Witness the happy ending of the protagonist with all the audience."

However, the greatest charm of competitive sports is that until the end of the game, anything is possible.

Gawain defeated Djokovic and Cilic defeated Federer. The exit of the two players also created a series of history:

This is the first time since 1966 that the top two seeds of the US Open have been eliminated in the semi-finals at the same time, which is the first time in the Open era;

Finally, the most important thing is that from the French Open in 2005 to the US Open in 2014, for the first time in ten years, one of the Big Four will not be seen in the Grand Slam finals. The record ends here, which is even more shocking than Gao Wen, who holds a wild card for the first time in the grand slam, reached the final—

After all, Gawain's dark horse miracle may be a shooting star, just like Ivanisevic's; but the rule of the Big Four is stellar ~lightnovelpub.net~ lasted for ten years.

gurgling.

gurgling.

The air is burning. This US Open is destined to be extraordinary. From the fans to the media to the unsuspecting crowd, everyone is boiling.

At the same time, it was precisely because of this that Gawain and Cilic gathered more eyes.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the curse, countless irrational fans cursed, cursed the two players for ruining the last viewing of the US Open, cursed the two players for preventing the thirty-sixth match between Djokovic and Federer, cursed The two players made this year's US Open meaningless like **** sticks.

What followed was exclamation, which broke the blockade even further than Wawrinka at the Australian Open, Raonic and Dimitrov at Wimbledon. The most fascinating and moving part of competitive sports is that, Witness miracles and create history, and now, they have become witnesses of history.
