Yesterday, Beijing time, at the official ATP 2021 season "Most Popular Singles Player Award" was announced, and Swiss King Federer won this honor for the 19th consecutive year, becoming the biggest winner of this award. The "Most Popular Singles Player Award for Fans" was voted by fans. In 2003, the 22-year-old Federer won the award for the first time, and in the 18 years since then, the award has never been sidelined.
This year, although Fei Tianwang ended the season early due to injury and did not play many games, fans around the world voted for the generation of football kings known for their elegance in the ATP Annual Awards. Even though Federer has been away from the game for a long time, in the hearts of thousands of fans, he is still the most popular singles player. Winning the award for 19 consecutive years, Fei Tianwang's record is probably unbreakable!
In addition, in the ATP "Fastest Progressive Player of the Year Award" selection, Russian rising star Karatsev with the Australian Open final four and two Tour championships, the world ranking jumped from 112th to 15th excellent performance, squeezed out the rival Spanish rising star Alcaraz, Norwegian nova Rud and the British one Brother Nori, and was successfully elected.
Let's focus on the arena again. Last night, Beijing time, the Abu Dhabi Exhibition Tournament kicked off in the United Arab Emirates. In the first match, Canadian rising star Shapovalov was in hot form, and in less than an hour, he swept the American rising star Fritz, who replaced Rudd, with a 6-3, 6-0 egg delivery, and will face Russian rising star Rublev in the semifinals.
After watching this game, many fans were deeply dissatisfied with Fritz's performance, especially in the second set. Yes, although this is only an exhibition match, you can get the appearance fee by playing a dozen, but since you are here, you must be worthy of the fans who are here to watch the game, so it is indeed disappointing to lose the game loosely.
In the second match, Britain's Murray played well, replacing his compatriot Evans 6-3, 6-2, and will compete with Nadal, the Spanish god of war, who has returned from injury, for a place in the final. This long-lost "Namu decision" will start tonight at 11:00 Beijing time.
Nadal and Murray played each other at the 2015 Abu Dhabi Exhibition Match, when Nadal, who also returned from injury, was swept by Murray 6-2, 6-0. The two meet again tonight, who will be the winner?
Let's focus on Djokovic again. Recently, the Serbian National Postal Department issued a set of djokovic commemorative stamps in recognition of his extraordinary achievements in his career.
This set of stamps consists of two stamps, one on a grass background and one on a red earth background, with denominations of 30 para and 80 para, respectively.
Let's take a look at the player dynamics. Beijing time last night, The Chinese veteran Zhang Shuai, who made his debut at the WTA125 Limoges station, announced that he would withdraw from the WTA125 Seoul station in South Korea, which will start next week. At this point, Zhang Shuai's 2021 season is finally over, and she will enter a short offseason to make final preparations for the upcoming 2022 season.
Finally, let's guess and recognize. The picture below shows a player receiving an award when he was a child. Without prompting, can you recognize who he is?
Guess last time, the golfer gave the correct answer. Yes, the person in the picture is Yuan Yue, a young Chinese player who has performed well recently. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Maverick)
