Last night's highly anticipated 2022 Australian Open men's singles final took more than 5 hours, Spain's god of war Rafael Nadal won three sets in a row in the case of losing two sets first, staged a jedi reversal, and finally defeated Russia's "May" Daniel Medvedev with a total score of 2-3 and won the Australian Open championship.
It was also Nadal's 21st Grand Slam title of his career, truly surpassing Federer and Djokovic, while Nadal also won his second Australian Open title trophy.
So why does Xiaobian Fight Jianghu like Nadal? Is he a loyal iron fan? In fact, the time for Xiaobian to watch tennis is very short, it can be said that in recent days, I have taught myself the rules of tennis and focused on tennis events. I've long heard of Nadal, known as Natto, and the first tennis player in history to be named after a planet.
The impression is that Nadal is the king of the clay, winning 13 crowns at the French Open, no ancients before, shaking the ancients and the present. Now he has also won the second crown at the Australian Open, which is not good at hard ground, which is a miracle. The point is that Nadal is 35 years old, about to turn 36, defeated Medvedev, broke out of the cold, how can not let the fans go crazy?
Looking at yesterday's game, Medvedev still showed the tactical arrangement of playing a protracted battle, because he was 10 years younger than Nadal and had an absolute advantage in physical fitness. Nadal's serve yesterday was inefficient, with an increase in turnovers, and he was broken by Medvedev at the opening and quickly suffered a rout.
In fact, before the fight predicted that Nadal may lose the game 1-3, he also fantasized that Nadal could win the game, but did not dare to think about it, it felt like a small probability event of no more than 30%. The odds of the extranet are also bullish on Medvedev's victory. I didn't expect Natto to really give power, create history, and become the first person.
It feels that natto, in addition to being swept in the first set, has gradually entered a good situation from the second set, and the two even played a climax of grabbing seven in the second set, which shows Natto's determination to defend the dignity of the veteran. Breaks, hair saves, breakbacks, tug-of-war, protracted battles, from 4:30 p.m. to more than 10 p.m., two real fighters for the fans to dedicate a breathless, ups and downs of the epic battle.
It can be said that the two consumed the only bit of energy left in their physical strength, especially Nadal, overcame injuries and physical disadvantages, and staged a miracle of Jedi counterattack in the case of being seriously despised by the outside world, which is the spirit of the veteran's immortality, and the true meaning of the god of war never withering. Whether we watch boxing matches, tennis matches or other tournaments, the truth is the same.
Life goes on, the battle goes on, as long as you don't give up lightly, everything is possible. If Nadal could not resist in the third set last night when he was 0-2 behind, or even had an internal breakdown, he would soon be swept 3-0 by his opponent and completely out. But Nadal held back at the crucial moment.
Nadal embodies a fighting spirit that never gives up, fully in line with the true meaning of sports, a good ball game, not only a competition of technical endurance, but also a fight desire, willpower resistance, a strong heart is also a magic weapon to defeat the enemy. How to survive in adversity, how to carry the strong offensive of the opponent, this is the key to testing a top player.
In fact, Nadal is not handsome, but his smile is very simple, especially after seeing Nadal score a ghostly smile, or a moment of domineering raising his left arm and shouting, which makes people feel very kind. Maybe that's the outward reason for liking Nadal. Nadal's stubbornness and unwillingness to accept defeat, and the spirit of striving forward, encourage us to keep a clear mind when encountering setbacks and difficulties, and not to abandon or give up.
Nadal almost retired last year due to injury, and even he did not expect to win the 2022 Australian Open. This is the reward of chasing dreams, as long as you persist, nothing is impossible.
Nadal has left Federer and Djokovic behind, and the French Open at the turn of spring and summer, which Natto is good at, still has hope of winning another Grand Slam trophy. Let's wait and see. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
