The Australian Open is about to start, and the Greek Tsitsipas, who became famous at the Australian Open, is not having a good time.
In the first half of last year, he was proud of the spring on clay. In the second half of the season, especially at the end of the year, he had to suffer from his injuries.
During the year-end finals, he lost his first game to Rublev, then simply withdrew from the tournament and had elbow surgery in November.
In the first week of the new season, he chose to make an early comeback in the ATP Cup in order to adjust his best state to impact the Australian Open, but who knows what happened.
In the first match against Hulkach, he withdrew before the match, and the second game was also hastily closed, losing to Schwartzman.
Despite suffering two consecutive defeats, the opponent is the world's top ten level, the loss is not unexpected, and he himself is satisfied with his season debut with Schwartzman.
After reviewing the whole game, Tsitsipas was reversed by his opponent in the case of taking the first set and breaking the first set, which can be said to have buried a good game, but he still looked at it very positively. "I'm very happy to have such a performance. To be honest, this has exceeded my expectations and the results have been better than I thought. Things are slowly getting better and everything is on track. ”
At last year's Australian Open, Tsitsipas first played against Berrettini in the quarter-finals, because of the withdrawal of his opponents, he won without a fight to advance to the quarterfinals.
In the quarter-finals against Nadal, he had two more days of rest but he could not find the feel, and was first dropped by his opponents. Falling behind by a big score, he realized that he finally patiently lurked, waited until the opponent's physical fitness declined, and finally completed the feat of chasing two and three. You know, this is only the second time in Nadal's long career that he has encountered a Grand Slam.
Further ahead, it is the 2019 Australian Open. At the time, he met Federer, the king of Melbourne over the past two years, in the quarter-finals. Everyone thought that the Swiss king should be able to win the game, but in the face of several break points, the Greek teenager was in danger and dragged the six-time champion down in a five-set battle.
Same SLR, same style of play... For a time, Volkswagen compared the match to The Wimbledon Federer's victory over Sampras in 2001, arguing that the successor to the Swiss king had been found.
Of course, the development behind everyone has also seen. Although Tsitsipas as a whole is not as good as Medvedev and Zverev for the time being, it is already below three people and above ten thousand people.
As his skills became more sophisticated, so did the discussion about his character. The Greeks, who do not know the growing ball quotient, can the emotional intelligence also be on par with the idols? (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
