The Australian Open at the beginning of each year is the beginning of a tennis feast. Just like its hot weather, the enthusiasm is like a wave of heat wave after wave.
The Australian Open has also witnessed the legend of history, and also recorded every scene or a great or absurd story. In these legends and stories, there is also its unique charm.
The Mystery of the Butterfly
In addition to the live kangaroos and cute koalas, there are also colorful butterflies in Australia.
As the butterfly effect says: A butterfly from the Amazon rainforest in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas in the Americas two weeks later.
It is like a prophet and a symbol. Everywhere you go, something strange will happen.
Butterfly 2021: Prophecy Champion Candidate
At last year's Australian Open, everyone had two very profound pictures.
One was the third round of the women's singles, no. 3 seed Naomi Osaka against no. 27 seed Jabeul, when she served, she found a butterfly parked on her left calf, she could not bear to offend, signaled the referee to pause, and slowly released the butterfly with her fingers. But the "drunken butterfly" remembered her and flew to her face again before it gradually flew away.
In the end, Naomi Osaka defeated Jabeul 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the women's singles round of 32. In the end, she made it all the way to the final and won the championship.
Another scene was in the men's singles semifinals, where No. 1 seed Djokovic faced Dark Horse Karatsev. Deyo's road to advancement was bumpy, with a 3-1 win over Tiafo in the second round, a sudden injury in the third round, a thrilling victory over Fritz in five sets, a four-set victory over Raonic in the fourth round, and then a four-set reversal of Zverev Jr. But in the semi-finals, Deyo's injuries and troubles were all gone, and he revealed the secret on Twitter — a white butterfly flew over his head during the game, unwilling to leave. Little De smiled right, and then he felt that the pain was all gone, he defeated Karatsev in three straight sets to reach the final, and in the final, he swept Medvedev in three straight sets again to win the ninth Australian Open title.
Butterfly 2022: Predicting non-champion candidates
This year, the butterfly is still there, but the players it loves are not so lucky.
First came Sinar, who was interviewed live after beating native De Minar 3-0 in the fourth round of the Australian Open when a butterfly flew in and landed on his hat, unwilling to leave.
Everyone thought that in the next round he would beat Tsitsipas to enter the final four, and the odds were also optimistic about Sina, but it backfired, he was swept by Tsitsipas in three sets, and did not get a set, which was a brittle defeat.
Then there was Aliasim, who also won the butterfly's coveting in the game. However, in the eight-in-four game, he first took 2 sets, and was lucky to be swept away by a rainstorm, resulting in three consecutive sets of defeat and being reversed by Medvedev Jedi.
Although butterflies will also "look away", it is undeniable that these two Australian Open winners are the best after 00, and may be the future champion candidates?
