The 2022 Australian Open is in full swing, and with the powerful players of all walks of life, the highly anticipated top 4 seats have been created. Russian magnate and world number two Medvedev fought hard in five sets, defeating 21-year-old Canadian teenager Aliassim 3-2 to reach the top 4, and then he will compete with Greek star and No. 4 seed Tsitsipas for the right to the final.
Spain's clay king Nadal will be battling Berrettini for another final spot. At present, the odds for winning the top 4 have been released.
According to foreign media, the world's No. 2 master "Mei Zong" Medvedev is in the first place, he is seriously optimistic at 1 to 1.83, followed by the king of clay Nadal, who is second at odds of 1 to 3.5, followed by Tsitsipas and Beretini, the gap between the two is not large. Overall, Nadal and May are always the favourites to win the championship, especially Mei Zong, 7 of the 10 people may be optimistic about him winning the championship.
If Medvedev beat Nadal to win this Australian Open, he will surpass Djokovic in the points ranking to become the new world number one, because Xiaode will currently deduct 2,000 points due to missing this Australian Open, directly falling to 9015 points. Medvedev currently has 8935 points, but since he was runner-up at last year's Australian Open, he has 1200 points to keep at this Australian Open, and if he wins the Australian Open this year, his points will rise to 9735 points, which can surpass Djokovic and become the new world number one.
Speaking about last night's 3-2 comeback win over Aliassim in extreme passivity and backwardness, May spoke about idol Xiaode, who sees Djokovic as his role model. He said: "I just want to fight until the last moment, even if the innings are 5-0, the score is 40-0, I have to make him feel tired, I think superstars like Nadal and Djokovic have also encountered situations like me. Like last year's French Open, Djokovic reversed Tsitsipas and Musetti in two consecutive sets behind. Djokovic is my role model, inspires me to move forward, and I want to let everyone know that I am a stronger athlete. ”
At present, the situation is more obvious, in the absence of such experts as XiaoDe and Federer and Zverev in the case of early exit, only Medvedev and Nadal's peak duel is left, if nothing else, it is the dragon and tiger competition between these two people. In the 2019 US Open final, Nadal defeated Medvedev 3-2, but in the semi-finals of the 2020 ATP Year-end Finals, May beat Nadal for the first time in his career.
To say that the current state, of course, Mei is always better.
In fact, no matter who Wins, May and Nadal, they will surpass Djokovic in a certain angle. If Nadal finally wins the championship, he will become the first person in history to win 21 Grand Slams; if Mei wins the championship, he will surpass Xiaode in terms of points and become the world's first. All in all, this is a very interesting game, but also the replacement of the old and new generations of stars, obviously, the 25-year-old Mei is always more promising, but, natto is not so easy to kill. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
