On October 20th, 2014, the last ATP masters competition of the year was officially staged in Paris with the sound of drums.

The Paris Masters is not only the only top-level event held in the host city of the Grand Slam so far, but also one of the oldest and most important top-level events in the ATP event calendar:

Since its inception in 1969, the Paris Masters has been the highest level of the ATP.

In addition, for various reasons, this is also one of the most difficult events to win in the ATP event.

First of all, the schedule is at the end of the year and the players are exhausted.

Secondly, the indoor hard court brings more uncertainty to the venue.

As of 2013, the Paris Masters has been held for 43 times, and there are only two players who have won the championship three times, Becker and Safin.

There are only five players who have won the championship twice, Tom-Okker, Brian-Gottfried, Sampras, Agassi and Djokovic.

The most incredible thing is that this is the venue with the weakest dominance of the Big Four. Since Federer's strong rise in 2004, the champions of the Paris Masters in the past ten years are arranged in chronological order, as follows:

Safin, Berdych, Davydenko, Nalbandian, Tsonga, Djokovic, Soderling, Federer, Ferrer, Djokovic.

After the data is listed, it is clear at a glance.

First, Federer didn't conquer the Paris Masters until 2011.

Second, Nadal and Murray have never been able to reach the summit.

Third, Djokovic's dominance on fast hard courts is obviously inferior to that of slow hard courts, and he only won the championship twice in 2009 and 2013.

Fourth, the uncertainty brought about by the indoor hard court environment has enabled players of different styles to have the ability to reach the top of the Paris Masters. Players with a balanced offense and defense such as Berdych, Ferrer, and Davydenko also Also won the championship.

Finally, so far, no one has successfully defended the title in the history of the event.

Among them, Safin is the closest to defending the title. His three championships came in 2000, 2002, and 2004, and he was still a little short of reaching the top the next year.

Undoubtedly, all the results prove that the Paris Masters is a event full of variables.

And this year, the competition leading to the year-end finals has entered a melee situation, and the uncertainty of the Paris Masters has further expanded.

All the attention.

Gunpowder smoke filled the air.

On the first match day, Gao Wen was still sweating diligently on the training ground, while Sampras went to various arenas to observe and prepare for the match.

Gao Wen's draw is a bit hard.

His opponent in the second round is about to be decided between Yanowitz and Querrey, and neither opponent is easy to deal with.

Janowitz, a Polish player, is also the first of this group of players born after 1990.

His game temperament is very sharp and flamboyant, he dares to take risks and strikes, he has the vitality of the new generation, his ball and style are very weird, and his attack is like a galaxy battleship, but it is not a violent style, but dare to break The grandeur of conventional routines.

It is indeed pleasing to the eye.

Many experts believe that Janowitz can become the leader of the new generation.

In 2012, it was on this venue of the Paris Masters that Yanowitz was born. From the qualifying round, he eliminated Cilic, Murray and Simon all the way to the final, becoming the first to enter the final of the Masters The post-90s players regretted losing to Ferrer in the end.

In 2013, Wimbledon became the stage for Jannowitz to make further breakthroughs. He made great strides into the semi-finals, also known as the first post-90s player to break into the semi-finals of the Grand Slam. He won a set first in the semi-finals , was reversed by the final champion Murray.

With this strong upward momentum, Janowitz's world ranking has further set a new career high, reaching the fourteenth place, and the limelight can be described as the same.

Just when everyone thought that Janowitz was about to break into the top ten in the world, and then repeatedly appeared in the top 16 of large-scale events, and further launched an impact on the Big Four. The new generation represented by him is about to fully On stage.

As a result, injuries struck.

First came the back injury, and then the foot injury, so that his game has been intermittent since the beginning of the North American season last year. The injury was not serious enough to keep him away from the field, but it always existed objectively, interfering with and affecting his game.

Moreover, after he was born, he became a conspicuous target. Everyone was studying his game and style, looking for ways to fight, which further restricted his performance.

In the major competitions, it seems that it is no longer news to be out in the first round and out in the second round.

At present, Yanowitz's world ranking has plummeted out of the top fifty.

This year, Yannowitz's best performance in the race has a little fate with Gao Wen and Querrey:

Winston-Salem.

There, Janowitz defeated a group of players including Goffin and Querrey, and reached the final all the way; in the end, he missed two match points in the final and lost to Rossol, regretting to be runner-up.

It can be seen that Yanowitz has been battling injuries and has been trying to rediscover his peak form, although it has not been easy.

Coming to Paris this time and returning to his blessed land, Janowitz also hopes to relive his old dreams, especially in the first round against the opponent he just defeated two months ago. In this level, Rey competed with the most popular fried chicken in the "post-90s".

However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

Three hard battles.

Yanowitz was eliminated.

After Yanowitz ended the 2014 season with a first-round exit, Tennis magazine wrote a feature that delves into the challenges facing the new generation —

From Janowitz at Wimbledon last year, to Raonic and Dimitrov at Wimbledon this year, to Gawain and Tim at the US Open.

The new generation of "post-90s" players are indeed on the stage in an all-round way, and they are contributing more and more wonderful performances, but the key is that after they have achieved good results, they have changed from challengers to challenged identities. Wait until everything is different, this is the test.

Including Gao Wen, the group of "post-90s" players who are currently taking the lead can more or less feel the obvious impact of the "Grand Slam Syndrome", let alone facing top players~lightnovelpub.net~ When facing the impact of other players, their performance is not stable. Obviously, they still need to continue to grow.

2014 was a turbulent year for men's professional tennis. The strength of the "Big Four" was severely impacted, and the new generation rose in an all-round way; then, in the next 2015 season, will the new generation be able to continue their momentum and further subvert the This situation is undoubtedly worthy of attention.

It is precisely because of this that the performance of young players in the Paris Masters and the following year-end finals is also worth looking forward to.

His eyes returned to Gao Wen.

Querrey, Gao Wen's second-round opponent was officially confirmed, and in a trance, there was an illusion of returning to the US Open.

Everything, deja vu.
