Beijing time last night, after more than four hours of the big battle, the Canadian little black Aliassim, who once led the second seed and the favorite candidate Medvedev, was finally defeated, and was chased by the opponent two and three, missing the final four men's singles of this year's Australian Open.
Coupled with compatriot Shapovalov, who also suffered a five-set defeat the day before yesterday, the Canadian Twin Star has doubled in the quarter-finals.
Pity? Of course! In particular, Aliassim, who was escaped by his opponent at one point, was born after grabbing the seven in this tournament, and after the first seven losses in the third set, he could not even wait for another seven to prove himself.
The same was true of Shapovalov, who had been morale boosted after two sets in a row, and his opponent Nadal suffered an illness, which should have been a great time for him to go with the flow, but unfortunately let the cooked duck fly...
In the past, these two young men were praised for their extraordinary talent, but they were trapped by the fact that the ball quotient had not been high. Shapovalov was jokingly called "Silly Wave" by the fans, and Aliassim was laughed at by the fans whenever he reached the final because of his name.
But that's likely to change this year. The first was the team stage, where the two of them worked together to help Canada beat Spain to win this year's ATP Cup.
They were like last year's Russian team, because of the outstanding performance of the two singles masters, they did not even have to turn the doubles players to play, they could win the score.
And they brought such a good feel to this Australian Open event. In the previous match, Shapovalov dropped three straight sets to knock out Zverev, the biggest favorite in the upper half.
And Aliasim is also not spared, the former tournament runner-up, Croatian Cilic can do whatever he wants when he meets Rublev, but when he encounters Canada's little black, he is dumbfounded.
In terms of the two matches with Nadal and Medvedev, the two Grand Slam champions, although there is still some gap between the two, it is already very small.
The main gap is in terms of on-the-spot adjustment and mentality. In a match like Shapovalov vs. Nadal, it is clear that the Spaniards' physical strength has reached its limit, and as long as they are like Tsitsipas last year, they can wait until the opponent's mistake is made.
Shapovalov played the fastball, trying to resolve the battle quickly and not give Nadal a chance to catch his breath. It's hard to say how big such a choice mistake is, but I am mainly too successful, so that I have made a lot of mistakes.
However, after experiencing this Grand Slam, I hope that it will be of great benefit to their growth, and the future is still very promising! (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
