Beijing time, December 18: The tennis season in 2021 has long ended, and atamps' annual awards have also announced the results one by one. And every year's ATP awards to say the most suspenseful one, that is undoubtedly the most popular award of the year, because no matter what the situation, this award will belong to only one person, that is, the Swiss king Federer. And this year's Most Popular Fan Award final result is also no surprise, Federer was elected for the 19th consecutive time, which is also his 40th ATP award, continuing to set a record.
AtP's Most Popular Fan Award of the Year, which was voted entirely by fans from all over the world, was born in 2000, Kurten was the first winner, followed by Saffin for the next two years, and since the fourth edition in 2003, Federer has firmly controlled the Most Popular Fan Award, completely turning this award into his own personal exclusive. Until this year, for exactly 19 years, every year he was the fan's favorite tennis player. Even if he has only participated in a few games in the past two years due to the impact of the injury epidemic, it has not affected the fans' liking for him in the slightest. As long as federer is nominated, then the most popular award for fans is none other than him.
It can be said that Federer's love for fans has never been seen in any field, even the basketball god Michael Jordan, can not get the NBA All-Star ticket king every year. So why is Federer so popular with fans and can enjoy the treatment of a global home stadium?
First of all, the result is the most basic professional competitive sports, you play well, but there is no point of achievement, it is impossible to win the hearts of most fans, the most loved by the fans, must be the best in the sport. Although Djokovic's tennis achievements can be said to be equal or even surpassed Federer, the Swiss king is still the best in history, with 20 Grand Slam titles, 237 consecutive weeks of world first place, 23 consecutive Grand Slam final fours, etc., these achievements do not need to be described too much. And these great achievements and stable high-level performances for many years in a row have also made the "foundation" of the king too strong, so in the later stages of Federer's career, even if he will be absent for a long time due to injury, as long as he plays, the fans still have expectations for him.
Results are the basis for competitive sports to gain a large number of fans, and the way of playing in a certain sport is another key to whether a player can retain loyal fans. However, for competitive sports that pursue absolute results, it is difficult to "win beautifully", and Dutch football, which is fully attacked and defended, is still the uncrowned king. This is especially true for tennis, an increasingly professional individual sport, where more and more players will transform themselves into batting machines. This is certainly not to belittle the players, it is decided when they are training, to make the best hitting plan for the pursuit of performance.
But in the current professional tennis world, the homogenization of batting is indeed getting more and more serious, and serving and bottom line have become the magic weapon for most players, because if these two abilities can be trained to the top, victory is not a problem. And those who often play wonderful shots, the posture of the players are less and less, there is no way, play a good game, really does not mean winning the game. Look at Dimi and Shabo, the collection is more beautiful than the other, but the two of them have today's achievements, especially Shabo, who jumps with one hand and the left hand SLR is beautiful, and the young him is also pinned on high hopes, but the results have never met people's expectations. Therefore, now there are fewer and fewer single-players, solid double reactions are more likely to produce results, and with the model of Dey, Medvedev and Zverev Jr. have implemented the win mode of bottom line plus serve, and the three are also the three players who have performed best this season.
Speaking of Federer himself, it is difficult to win a Grand Slam title in a beautiful way, and Federer, who can play the ultimate aesthetic offensive tennis with his talent, has also achieved the top results in the tennis world, achieving both fish and bear paws, which is difficult not to make fans fall in love with this man. The performance plus the way he plays is the most important factor in Federer's popularity, but to be able to keep the fans all the time, of course, you also need the phrase, "Finally character".
In addition to the gorgeous style, superb skills and full of honors, Federer outside the stadium still fascinates fans. Founded in federer's own name, the foundation is dedicated to charity all year round, donating to more than 7,000 preschool schools and helping more than 1.55 million children. The Swiss king, who also has high emotional intelligence, attaches great importance to the fans who love him, he not only once said that the fans are the reason for him to stick to it, but Federer, who has already played more than 1,000 games in his career, has not once withdrawn from the game, which has also made him win the Edberg Sportsmanship Award 13 times. Returning to his personal family, Federer is more loyal than his three-year-old Mirka, who has two pairs of twins, and is even more envious of others.
All of the above perfect performances contributed to the perfect Federer, and it is undeniable that it is precisely because of Federer's existence that it is more difficult for many later players to win the hearts of fans. There is no way, for many fans, Federer is tennis, is the perfect tennis in their hearts. It's no wonder fans have made the following picture, until 2052 Federer was still the most popular fan award winner. But the joke is a joke, the 40-year-old Federer is really getting closer and closer to retirement, and I hope that next season the king can successfully return from injury and give us that last dance on the court.
