Match Point - Chapter 1402
Generally speaking, when a Grand Slam tournament enters the quarter-final stage, there are not many matches left, that is, two men’s singles and two women’s singles games per day.
These competitions will all be played in the most important venues of the competition. After all, the competition organizing committee also wants to sell more tickets. The only difference is Philippe Chatier or Susan Lengren; but occasionally—or, Not occasionally, there are often unexpected situations.
Don’t forget, in addition to singles events, there are also doubles events.
When the singles enters the quarter-finals, the men’s doubles and women’s doubles also enter the quarter-finals, and the mixed doubles enters the quarter-finals, with six doubles matches every day.
So, how should the doubles match be arranged, besides Philippe Chatier and Susan Lenglen, to enter the No. 1 court and the No. 2 and No. 3 courts behind?
not necessarily.
In the French Open, if there are two doubles partners of local players in the quarter-finals, it is not impossible for their matches to be arranged for Suzanne Lengren and even Philippe Chatier.
And, that’s not all.
If all the local players have been eliminated in the singles field, even if there is only one local player in the doubles quarterfinals, then this match is very likely to enter Susan Lenglen, after all, this is already the last hope of the local.
Similar situations have occurred more than once, almost every year.
In fact, the other three Grand Slams are no exception.
In the final analysis, the tournament organizers are still willing to give some preferential treatment to the host players, but they are not as frequent, bold and crazy as the French Open. It is estimated that among the four Grand Slams, only the French Open dares to use doubles to push the Big Four out of the center court. ,frenzied.
but…
The performance of the French Legion this year has been in a downturn across the board—
After all the games on the eighth match day were suspended due to rain, the battle was rekindled on the ninth match day. This time, although there was some light rain interference, it was not hit by heavy rain again after all. The crowded schedule was all over before the sky completely darkened. Let the tournament organizing committee breathe a sigh of relief.
As Federer achieved sweet revenge with a score of “3:1” and eliminated Monfils, there was no host in the draw.
From singles to doubles, all French players were eliminated, not even a single seedling remained, and disappeared completely.
Objectively speaking, among these matches, the match between Tsonga and Gao Wen is undoubtedly the closest—
Gasquet challenged Djokovic, Simon challenged Murray, and Monfils challenged Federer. The Frenchman’s draw matchup is really impressive. It proves that the draw is 100% fair and objective. I think the voice of the organizing committee manipulating the lottery can be shut up.
From the perspective of strength comparison, Tsonga does have the best chance; and the actual game process and final score also prove this point.
However…
Very regrettable.
But from another perspective, it is a good thing for non-native audiences.
Because in the quarter-finals, all the host players disappeared, which also means that the schedule of the competition organizing committee does not need to be specially manipulated.
So, how should the schedule be arranged?
Men’s Singles, Upper Division —
“Djokovic vs Kei Nishikori”.
“Murray VS Ferrer”.
Lower half—
“Federer vs Wawrinka”.
“Gowin VS Nadal”.
The quarter-finals are all settled, and the top players continue to maintain their strength.
This situation immediately reminds people of the Australian Open at the beginning of the year. The top eighth seeds performed strongly. Only Federer fell behind, and the other seven all advanced smoothly. Doubt, except for those blind and brainless blacks.
The same is true at the French Open this time, but the only player who was dropped out of the top eighth seed was replaced by Berdych, and the other players continued to remain strong.
Moreover, in the Australian Open, Karlovic was upset and advanced to the quarter-finals; while in the French Open, Wawrinka eliminated Berdych. Strictly speaking, it is not an upset—
Wawrinka, at this year’s French Open, is the ninth seed.
Since last year, the topic of “Big Four VS Challengers” has been raucous, and after entering this year, it has climbed to a new peak.
But if you observe carefully, you can find that the top players are still strong, and the challengers are breaking out one after another, completing different degrees of transformation. From the new vitality of the Mesozoic generation to the breakthroughs of the new generation, the men’s tennis field is indeed showing a thriving trend. Vigorous.
“Chaos” is not the melee of the WTA from 2008 to 2012 without a leader. To be precise, it should be read as “chaos” but should be written as “heroes competing for the throne”. Challengers join hands to attack the rule of the Big Four. Stable, a hundred schools of thought contend, and the excitement of the confrontation is impressive.
From the Australian Open to the French Open, the stable and strong eight-final lineup proves this—
Although there are some small upsets one after another, they have not been able to shake the overall pattern. On the contrary, the performance of the new generation headed by Dimitrov and Raonic has dropped significantly, which is embarrassing; however, the new generation of “post-95s” has already begun to emerge, and new hopes are scrambling to sprout.
ATP is indeed becoming more and more exciting.
Now, let’s turn our attention back to the schedule—
On the eleventh match day, both Djokovic and Murray will be on the stage. Will the two favorites to win the French Open this year be able to meet the semi-finals smoothly?
More importantly, which game should go to Philippe Chatier and which should go to Suzanne Lundgren?
Also, the day before, the tenth match day, Federer and Nadal both played, the key to whether the Big Four can join the semi-finals again, after all, compared to Djokovic and Murray, these two The status of the giants is a mystery, the opponents are more impactful, and the suspense of victory and defeat is even greater.
So, this game day, how will the schedule be arranged?
Originally, Federer or Nadal, who entered Philippe Chatier, this is a difficult problem; moreover, now there is an unknown factor:
Gao Wen.
At the post-match press conference, they didn’t show any face at all and confronted Isain head-on, which prevented the entire event organizing committee from stepping down and sparked a storm of condemnation.
Maybe, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com Isaac didn’t dare to blatantly embarrass Federer, but it was no problem for Gawain to wear small shoes to calm the young man.
So, will Isaac teach Gawain a little lesson?
Let Gao Wen know, don’t be proud, don’t be complacent, and don’t be arrogant. Maybe he is the second in the world now, but in the professional field, he is still a freshman.
For a while, rumors were flying all over the sky——
Some people say that Federer entered Philippe Chatier, and the match between Gawain and Nadal was arranged in Susan Lundgren.
Some people say that Federer should be stationed in Philippe Chatier as an olive branch from Isserne, turning hostility into friendship; at the same time, Nadal will be implicated by Gawain and enter Court No. 1, which is equivalent to being exiled. Warning, don’t **** your tail casually.
Some people say that a doubles match will go to Susan Lengren. The official saying is called “fulfilling the wishes of doubles fans”, but it doesn’t take a genius to guess it. Since the doubles goes to Susan Lengren, It also means that there is a singles game going to court No. 1, who will it be?
