Chapter 824 Lottery Ceremony

From 2014 to 2015, from the men's arena to the women's arena, the same theme throughout is:

turmoil!

Melee!

variable!

Everything is possible.

The world's No. 1 competition pattern is completely open, and the rise of the new generation has fully impacted the rule of the king. The changing era seems to have come to a crossroads.

The Big Four in men's tennis and the No. 2 in women's tennis are still the absolute overlords in the professional arena, but the impact they need to face is getting stronger, more ferocious, and more intensive at the same time.

There are more and more seedlings emerging from the younger generation. Now it is not just new stars born after 1990. Players born in 1995 have also begun to appear on the stage, and they have shown excellent competitiveness, strongly pushing the tide of the times forward. Looks like a whole new era.

It is against this background that the Australian Open made its debut and kicked off the 2015 season, attracting global attention and a hot wave.

Then, the draw ceremony came.

As mentioned before, the draw of the four Grand Slams is very ceremonial and rhythmic.

In the first step, the No. 1 seed and the No. 2 seed will first decide which half of the district the No. 1 seed will enter, and the No. 2 seed will enter the corresponding half district.

Djokovic, sits in the upper half, 1/4 district; Federer, naturally, enters the lower half, sits in the 4/4 district.

The second step, the third seed and the fourth seed, ditto.

Nadal, entered the lower half, 3/4 area; Wawrinka, correspondingly, came to the upper half, falling in the 2/4 area.

In the third step, the No. 5 to No. 8 seeds will draw lots to form a matchup, and see how they form a matchup with the top four seeds. At the same time, it is also to determine the candidates for the big seeds in the eight sub-districts under the four major divisions.

For ordinary participating players, they don't need to think about things after the quarterfinals for the time being, so they focus on the big seeds of their own division.

For media reporters, the matchup of the top eight seeds not only means the strength of the matchup of the top eight, but also the overall tone of the eight small divisions.

It is no exaggeration to say that there was a lot of discussion.

Yujia witnessed the surging hearts and thoughts of journalists from all over the world in the No. 1 press conference hall:

The placement of the top four seeds has already sparked a lot of discussion, but they did not expect that the next lottery would make all the reporters hold their breath.

Which master will Murray play against this lottery bomb? Will he meet Djokovic again like he did in the second half of last year?

Which player will Gao Wen, a rising star, face in the quarter-finals? Is his existence a potential bomb or a soft persimmon?

Also, will the confrontation between Gao Wen and Djokovic be staged in Melbourne Park as scheduled?

If the two players are divided into the upper and lower halves, then it will be very, very difficult. After all, the two players must pass the test to enter the final; moreover, if the final match is more worthy of discussion than "Djokovic VS Gawain", it is worthy of attention. There are many, many potential duels.

But if they are in the same quarter, and then they both enter the quarterfinals and usher in a rematch, the possibility will skyrocket, and now we can start looking forward to it.

hum...

Yujia herself didn't even realize that when she held her breath, the beating heart in her chest was almost about to burst. She was even more nervous than when she was drawing for the qualifiers/wild card players at the US Open last year. In just a few tens of seconds But it seemed as long as a century, and the slow button was pressed for everything.

One, then another, the lottery, announced one by one.

Murray, District 4/4.

Berdych, District 1/4.

Kei Nishikori, District 2/4.

Gawain…District 3/4.

boom!

In an instant, Yujia could feel a roar in his ears. Although all the news media were trying their best to suppress their excitement and excitement, the rustling sound of whispering was still surging in the entire press conference hall. On the face, there are different emotions surging.

There are regrets.

There is eagerness to try.

There is gearing up.

There is excitement.

Obviously, everyone has different expectations and definitions for the Australian Open, which also makes them feel differently about this draw match, and have a lot of thoughts.

But what is certain is that one of the expectations has been answered:

Djokovic, top half; Gawain, bottom half.

Of course, media reporters can continue to look forward to it. The meeting between Djokovic and Gao Wen in the final is definitely worth discussing; There is no need to get stuck on this one topic.

"oh."

Many reporters sighed: Originally, they wanted to see whether Selyang would continue to shoot if Gao Wen and Djokovic faced off again, but now it seems that if this scene really happens, both players will There are still two weeks of games and six games to fight to make it happen.

Embarrassed.

What a waste of sparks extending from Doha to Melbourne.

Unfortunately, it was very, very short-lived. The attention of the reporters was quickly attracted by the draw. This matchup list has a lot to watch!

Yujia is no exception.

Zone 3/4.

There is only one thought in Yujia's mind, so... Is Gao Wen playing against Nadal?

Is this a sign up or a sign down?

Yujia was actually a little uncertain.

Thinking about it seriously, for Gao Wen, who is the most ideal quarter-final matchup?

Djokovic or Wawrinka? After all, Gao Wen has defeated them before, but the former is the king of Melbourne Park, and the latter is the defending champion, both of them are tough.

Federer? So far, Gao Wen and the Swiss king have not met against each other. If they meet in the Grand Slam, I am afraid that the game will be very anxious.

Nadal? Returning from injury, his state is a mystery. From the analysis of strength on paper, he is indeed a relatively weak link among the top four seeds, but don't forget that Nadal, who also just returned from injury, defeated in the imperial capital. Gao Wen, this is the only time the two players have played against each other.

Perhaps, for Gao Wen, there is no need to choose the lottery, because this is his first trip to Melbourne. Like Flushing, it is king to attack the opponent with all his strength. Now Gao Wen is far from qualified to pick and choose~www.mtlnovel .com~ No matter what the lottery is, the battle is over.

Yujia, there are thousands of thoughts in her mind.

However, the discussion didn't last long, and it calmed down in a blink of an eye, because the lottery ceremony was not over yet, to be precise, it had only just begun.

As the top eight seeds are placed, this also means that the follow-up draws will become more and more interesting, perhaps less exciting, but more interesting.

The first part determines the situation after the quarter-finals; the latter part determines the opponents before the quarter-finals. These are the games that will be staged in the first week of the Grand Slam:

Only by passing the test in the first week can you win the qualification for the second week of the decisive battle with the top players.

In the fourth step, the No. 9 seeds to No. 16 seeds will form counterpoints with the top No. 8 seeds again.

and so on.

Step by step, all the lottery matchups were completed, and 128 players formed 64 matchups, slowly opening the curtain of a new year's Grand Slam.

Then, the draw ceremony ended.

And then, the news media went wild.
