The 2022 Australian Open has entered the final four of women's singles, and with the departure of former champion Azarenka, the Australian Open women's singles championship trophy will be destined to engrave the name of a newcomer. Long before the start of the Australian Open, fans expected that the competition for the women's singles title would be a situation of a hundred flowers. Despite Serena Williams' absence, Grand Slam champions Kvitova, Naomi Osaka and Azarenka still made Melbourne star-studded in 2022. The era of the world's three giants of men's tennis has gradually drifted away, and at the same time, the competitive landscape of women's tennis is also changing.
In the women's singles quarterfinals of this Year's Australian Open, there is not a single former champion name, which is extremely rare in previous competitions. Former women's tennis star Navnatinova said in an interview that today's women's tennis has lost its former charm, and after the lack of big Mac players, the attribution of the four Grand Slams is also elusive. Judging from the current reality of the world women's tennis world, 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams jr. is on the verge of retirement, and after repeatedly impacting 24 crowns without success, the American women's tennis legend has lost motivation. Coupled with a series of factors such as age, fitness, injury, family and so on, Serena Williams may choose to end her career this season.
In addition to Serena Williams, Grand Slam champions Kvitova, Azarenka, Halep, Cornell, etc. are also on the decline, and the slightest mistake will be swept out by young players. But in this group of players of the new generation, no one has been able to stand up and take over the women's tennis world. Naomi Osaka, who came out in 2018, became the star of hope in the world women's tennis world after defeating Serena Williams in the women's singles final of the US Open. In the following two seasons, the Japanese girl played almost all over the world on the hard court, winning the Australian Open and US Open women's singles championships, and four Grand Slams also made her surpass Li Na to become the strongest female tennis player in Asia.
But what is puzzling is that Naomi Osaka, who is indispensable at the Australian Open and the US Open, cannot continue to move forward in the French Open on clay courts and Wimbledon on grass courts. The technical characteristics of the serious "partial section" also make fans ridicule Naomi Osaka for paying homage to Sharapova. In the 2021 season, a series of negative events caused by refusing to participate in the press conference caused Naomi Osaka, who was already shy and introverted, to suffer a psychological blow. At the 2022 Australian Open, Naomi Osaka, who came back with a new attitude, still failed to achieve a gorgeous turn.
Missing the quarterfinals and missing the defense of the title, the Japanese star, who is known as the "successor of Serena Williams", gradually stepped off the altar. Two Wimbledon women's singles champions Kvitova also had a serious downward trend, and this year's Australian Open women's singles suffered a round trip. Two-time Australian Open women's singles champion Azarenka, in the promotion to mom strength is not as good as before, this year's Australian Open is also blocked out of the quarterfinals. With several Grand Slam champions out, the 2022 Australian Open women's singles will give birth to a new title. Local players Barty, French Open champion Krejickova, Sabalenka and other players are all expected to lift the Daphne Cup for the first time at Rodrawall Stadium.
