Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Tuesday, February 1, 2022, the first day of the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Tiger. Here, "Tennis House" to all fans and friends to bid farewell to the New Year, I wish everyone a good year of the tiger, all the best, good health, and happy every day! Welcome to today's afternoon news.
Since Nadal was crowned again in Melbourne in the early hours of yesterday morning to win the 21st career Grand Slam title, congratulations from all sides have been pouring in. There are congratulatory letters from groups such as Real Madrid Club and Nadal Online School, and there are also blessings from ATP players.
In addition to Federer and Djokovic in the big three, Austrian famous Tim, Italian handsome Berrettini, Fognini, Sina, Musetti, Frenchman Herbert, Argentine master brother Del Potro, Canadian rising star Aliasim, Greek star Tsitsipas, retired Czech bertic, Nadal's friend Monaco, etc. all tweeted to congratulate the Spanish god of war.
Tim said, "Every tennis player dreams of winning a Grand Slam title, but 21? oh! You're a real champion, which is encouraging. Hope to share happiness with you on the field soon! Rising stars such as Aliasim and Sinar are also encouraged by Nadal's indomitable tenacity to never give up and fight until the last minute. I believe that for a long time to come, the five-set battle between Nadal and Medvedev will be talked about by players and fans, becoming the most classic good memory in the tennis world.
After a two-week Australian Open, this week's World Standings were updated. Despite the rude cancellation of entry visas and deportation by the Australian government, losing the opportunity to defend the title, serbian football king Djokovic still holds the world number one throne, extending the record to 358 weeks because german Zverev Jr. and Russian star Medvedev failed to win the championship. However, djokovic's point difference with Medvedev has narrowed to 890 points, and the Russian is expected to surpass in the next 1-2 months.
In the TOP10, Italy's rising star Berrettini, who reached the final four, rose to sixth place, and Russian rising star Rublev, who left early, dropped to seventh place, and the two exchanged positions. Others have increased or decreased in points, but the rankings have not changed. Swiss King Federer's ranking continued to decline, falling to 30th. Another famous player who did not participate due to injury, Austrian Tim, plunged 16 places, dropping to 37th.
Tim, who originally planned to make a comeback at atatP250 Cordova, announced by video through his personal social platform last night that due to the pain in his right finger joint and the lack of sufficient training, he announced his withdrawal from this race, and the comeback time was postponed again. If Thiem doesn't get out of injury and return to the tour as soon as possible, he risks losing his seeding spot at the French Open, adversely affecting his impact on the Musketeers Cup again.
After Thiem withdrew again, there was good news. That's how The Argentine master, Del Potro, who has been away from the field for more than two and a half years, confirmed the atap250 Buenos Aires and the subsequent Rio de Janeiro leg that starts next week. Master Brother is finally returning to the field!
Finally, let's guess and recognize. The image below is a sketch of a player playing high pressure in front of the net during a game. Without prompting, can you recognize who he is?
In the last issue of guessing, there are many golfers who gave the correct answer. That's right, the little north nose in the picture is Olympia, the daughter of Serena Williams of the American Black Pearl. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Maverick)
