Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Saturday, January 29, 2022, welcome to listen to the news noon report provided by Tennis House.
Beijing time last night, the 2022 Australian Open ended two men's singles semi-finals. The Spanish god of war Nadal, who came first, defused the physical crisis in the third set, and in the fourth set, he finally defeated Italian coach Berrettini 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 to advance to the final of the Australian Open. It was the sixth time in his career that the Spaniard had reached the championship in Melbourne, having only lifted the cup once in five previous times and served the plates on the remaining four.
In the second semi-final, Russian star Medvedev and Greek star Tsitsipas fought fiercely in four sets, and finally laughed 7-6 (5)/4-6/6-4/6-6-6-6-6-1 to reach the Australian Open final for the second consecutive year. This is the fourth time in Mei's career that he has reached a Grand Slam final, and the first three times he has won one crown and two asian prizes.
There was an episode in this duel. After being broken in the second set of the match, May suspected Tsitsipas's father was coaching his son off-court in the players' box. In a fit of rage, he complained to the referee, demanded a warning from his opponent, and accused the referee of inaction, stupidity, and badness. The arena suddenly smelled of gunpowder. After a bombardment by May, the referee gave Tsitsipas a warning.
After the game, both expressed their views on the episode on the field at that time. Mei said that negative emotions are not good for him, he has realized that this is a big mistake, fortunately he can regain the focus of the game. After the game, he also took the initiative to shake hands with the referee and apologized. At the same time, Mei Zong also said that he was not sure that Tsitsipas's father was instructing, but believed that he spoke in Greek in the direction of his son after each minute, and should be warned by the referee.
Tsitsipas said that he did not accept off-court guidance, the voice of the fans watching the game was so noisy, it was impossible to hear what his father was saying on the field, and Mei's behavior was just disturbing the opponent's mood, which was more like a tactic. However, Tsitsipas still affirmed May's overall performance, believing that he was an indomitable fighter, like Nadal.
On January 30, Beijing time, that is, at 4:30 pm on Sunday, the Australian Open will stage the final battle of men's singles, which will be a copy of the 2019 US Open men's singles final. At that time, Nadal fought hard in five sets, narrowly defeated Medvedev 3-2 to win the US Open for the fourth time. After more than two years, the two ushered in the fifth meeting of their careers, the first four Spanish gods of war three wins and one loss. However, the last time the two met, the semi-final of the 2020 London year-end finals, the winner was the Russian.
Looking ahead to the title race, Nadal said he would do his best, and Medvedev also said he would give his all and leave no regrets. If Nadal wins, he will be the first person in men's tennis to win a 21st Grand Slam title. If Medvedev wins, he will be the one who will block the Big Three's 21st crown for the second time in a row after blocking Djokovic in last year's US Open final, continuing to fulfill the promise of "I will try to keep the Big Three's Grand Slam titles at 20".
At 4:30 p.m. Beijing time this afternoon, the Australian Open women's singles final will be staged first, with the world's first Barty playing on home to collins against American Collins. The men's doubles final will take place around 6:00 p.m., with Kyrgios/Kokinakis taking on Alberton/Püssel. Since both sides are Australians, the fact that the men's doubles champion has been won by homegrown players in advance.
Finally, let's guess and recognize. The image below shows a player undergoing a medical suspension during a match. Without prompting, can you recognize who he is?
In the last issue of guessing, many golfers gave the correct answer. That's right, the three American brothers in the picture are Fritz, Opelka and Tommy Paul. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Maverick)
