On January 26, Beijing time, the Australian Open performed a very wonderful showdown! No. 2 seed Medvedev fought for 4 hours and 42 minutes, chasing three sets in a row with a 0-2 deficit, defeating post-00s supernova Aliassim 3-2 to advance to the final four of the Australian Open. In the game, Medvedev once faced the match point, but he stubbornly resolved and finally won the game. In this way, Medvedev is only 2 wins away, which will break the four giants' nearly 18-year domination of the men's tennis world number one!
In this match, Aliassim played to the extreme, forcing Medvic into a desperate situation, at one point holding the match point. But Medvedev showed a tenacity he was proud of. After winning the crucial set in the third set, Medvedev roared in anger and vented his emotions. Perhaps from this moment on, the balance of victory has tilted in the direction of Medvedev.
In February 2004, Federer beat Safine at Melbourne Park to win his first Australian Open men's singles title. From this moment on, Federer topped the world and began a 237-week reign in men's tennis. What is even more terrifying is that in the 18 years since then, only 4 people have tasted the taste of the world number one in men's tennis, namely Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray.
This is probably the best of times for tennis lovers. 3 of the best players in the history of men's tennis, offering the ultimate tennis to the audience. But for other male tennis players, it was a dark reign. Now, after 18 years of shackles, we have finally ushered in the impactor. Whether it's the years that beat the Big Four, or the latecomers catching up, in short, the times may have come to an end. Today, only Nadal is left to defend this glory with his own hands.
In last year's MEN's Singles Final at the US Open, Medvedev overthrew Djokovic and shattered Djokovic's dream of an annual Grand Slam. Now, the responsibility of breaking the 18-year monopoly of the big four on the world's first has once again been handed over to Medvedev's shoulders, can he continue to write a legend and let the tennis world begin to enter its own moment?
