The Australian season kicked off a year of tennis. Many players have avoided the Australian Open and opted for a comeback in lower-level competitions after the Australian Open.
Only Nadal, who won the Australian Open, may be an exception, he returned from the warm-up match before the Australian Open, although he won the championship, but not many people were optimistic that he could win the Australian Open again before the game. But that's how miracles happened!
Perhaps it was Nadal's miracle that infected many famous players. Recently, many famous players have chosen to make a comeback. See:
Montpellier is in full swing, but defending champion and Belgian goffin was easily defeated by French veteran Mannarino, who performed well at the Australian Open.
In the same period last year, Belgian Andy Lau was still one of the top 15 players in the world rankings, but he was helpless to be plagued by injuries in the second half of the season, and a wave of 6 consecutive defeats directly dropped himself.
After the US Open ended last year's own competition, this year's return seems to be so faltering. This trip to defend the title was eliminated early, which will cause it to lose a huge number of points, and it is estimated that the ranking will fall to about 100.
At the same time, the choice to return in Montpellier is the former Grand Slam runner-up Tsonga, who last participated in the competition more than a year ago, and is still insisting, which is not easy, but the result is very bitter, and he was eliminated after winning only one round.
And the former world number one Murray, who has been making a comeback for several years, has not yet returned to the list of the top 100. Of course, he has high hopes for himself and imagines reaching deeper rounds of the Grand Slam, but often because of his low ranking, he draws strong opponents in the first few rounds.
Continuous high-intensity confrontation has made the veteran naturally unable to keep up, and the runner-up of this year's tour is already a result. When was the last time he was ranked in the world's top 100? Still on the distant May 28th of 2018.
Next week we will also see the return of Argentine del Potro, who last appeared on the pitch as far back as the Queen's Cup in 2019.
More than two years, the hardships in the recovery process can be imagined. Especially veterans, how to resist the loneliness of the offseason and the frequent attack of injuries, do need strong inner support.
Many fans are still waiting for the return date of Wawrinka and Federer. The two Swiss kings have a lot of fans, and their own mentality is still good, so everyone is not worried about their comeback.
On the contrary, Tim, one of the young players, is quite worried that he will be devastated after winning the US Open the previous year, because he has been hanging up the free card since last year's Injury at Wimbledon, and he plans to make a comeback in Indian Wells in March.
