It's hard to imagine that only 9 players in active men's tennis have tasted the grand slam singles title, and Medvedev has only been crowned for a few days, and is "greedily" immersed in ecstasy and happiness.
How important is it to get the Grand Slam Gold Cup?
In congratulating Medvedev on his cup, Roddick said: "I bet he is now the happiest man in the whole world. ”
It can be seen how precious the Grand Slam is for the current men's tennis world.
Due to the long-term control of the Big Three, Grand Slam champions are even more invisible to professional athletes.
Unfortunately, as the only nine grand slam winners active in men's tennis, more than half of them have not competed since the Tokyo Olympics.
Before May won the title, Djokovic, Cilic and Murray were the only three Grand Slam winners who could set foot on the pitch to continue playing.
After Cilic and Murray were eliminated early, even the only Djokovic left to represent 9 people in the US Open, still see "pitiful".
After the US Open, there will be two masters tournaments and the year-end finals and other major competitions.
It's just that the five people who have been absent for most of the season have bid farewell to all the remaining events in the 2021 season in advance, and can only return to the distant 2022 season.
So, when the five Grand Slam winners return to the 2022 season, what will greet them? Is it a sinking or a true return.
Today, let's talk with the Great Qin Gecko about the five champions who have bid farewell to the 2021 season.
First place: Dominica. Tim
It is very regrettable that when the "lucky" win of the US Open last year, everyone has high hopes for him, believing that the 2021 season will be dominated by him as a leader and continue to impact the giants.
The injury struck him as a surprise, like his accident at the US Open.
After injuring his wrist in a game in Mallorca before Wimbledon, Thiem never played another game.
Austria, 27, is in its current year of playing and is the youngest of the five. Healthy Tim has the ability to continue to have his own piece of the world in the men's tennis world, Mei Zong's victory will stimulate him, the former number three players will continue to launch a grand slam offensive with the three little kings, and personally optimistic about the prospects of Tim's healthy return;
Second place: Juan. Martin. Del Potro
The career of "Master Brother" can be described as a variety of disasters and difficulties.
After the 2019 Queen's Cup, he never stepped into the tennis court to play again.
After many wrist injuries, the pain of the right knee followed.
From the second half of 2019 to December of last year alone, master brother has already had four knee surgeries.
The 32-year-old master brother would have had a grand career, but his biggest opponent was injured.
However, the optimistic big pineapple is still eager to return to the stadium, and he issued a blessing when Djokovic went to the Olympic Games, and recently appeared at the US Open.
After three knee injuries, the master brother said that he could resume training on the court, but the time is uncertain, and he may be the last grand slam winner to return from the five.
Perhaps, the emphasis is on participation, and the love of tennis is continuously injected into the racket, which is the first thing the master brother should consider, as for the results, follow the fate.
Third place: Stanislas. Wawrinka
Unconsciously, the once omnipotent SLR burst was 36 years old, a year older than Nadal.
After injuring his left foot at the Qatar Open in March, he underwent surgery and has so far hung up his free card.
The four eggs are cruel to himself, he has carved his love and dedication to tennis deeply in the bone marrow, for tennis, he can give up everything.
In order to find the form, he can use his three-time Grand Slam champion to sacrifice his face to participate in an ordinary challenge.
However, the 36-year-old is indeed older, even if the healthy tiles, the pace on the field has been seen to be slower and heavier, which is more unfavorable for a SLR player who needs to pace.
Perhaps for Wazi, fans are more happy about when he can play a wonderful battle between single and double against Djokovic in a Grand Slam match.
Fourth place: Rafael. Nadal
The Mallorca boy who had been fighting against King Fei tianwang since he was a teenager, a muscular man with a sleeveless vest that covered every corner of the court like a thunderbolt, was 35 years old in the blink of an eye.
Like his master brother, he was plagued by injuries and made his career intermittent.
He is also lucky, because in the entire men's tennis world, only Nadal can continue to stage the good drama of the return of the king.
However, unlike Deyo, the biggest problem currently facing Douzi is worrisome physical condition.
Once the 35-year-old Spanish king has no physical support, he will also lose the magic weapon to survive.
The French Open in the 2022 season may be a year in which Bean must work hard, clench his teeth and fight hard, and the success will be here, but the same variables are very large.
Fifth place: Roger. Federer
When this year's Swiss king was defeated by Hulkac in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, I believe that everyone will think that the era belonging to Fei Tianwang will be completely over.
However, after the game, when federer's knee injury recurred, it seemed that the fans would vaguely feel a little "happy".
If the healthy Federer is so "bullied" by the Polish general, it means that it is indeed cheap and old, what if the body is sick? Will it once again stage the wonderful return of the old man talking about the juvenile madness?
From three consecutive french open wins to the round of 16 to retreat, to Wimbledon four consecutive wins to reach the quarter-finals after losing due to injury, the healthy Fei Tianwang still has enough weapons to continue to win the game.
The age of 40 is a time bomb, when to detonate is full of variables, once healthy, Roger is still a magician on the green field: grand slam is difficult, victory is easy.
