With this week in its sixth week of the 2022 season and as many as five tournaments on the Tour about to begin, who will spend the four tournaments that just ended last week?
Let's take a look!
ATP500 Serotterdam
Champion: Aliassim
As the No. 3 seed in the tournament, Canadian rising star Aliasim eliminated Gerasimov, Murray, Nori and Rublev on the way to the final, and the final opponent was the top seed Tsitsipas.
Previously, Aliassem reached the MEN's Singles Final of the ATP Tour eight times, but without exception all of them won the runner-up, just when the outside world thought that this time it would end as runner-up, he used a complete victory to justify himself.
Ariasim finally beat Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-2 to win his first career tour singles title, and the current 21-year-old Canadian rising star undoubtedly has a bright future.
ATP250 Saidaras
Champion: Operka
With over 2m 10 tall, Operca has a clear advantage on the serve end, with a cumulative total of 100 ACEs issued in four games this week, of which only 1 double error.
The semi-final match against Isner was the most watched, with the two setting a 22-20 record for the highest score in ATP history in the second steal of seven.
Of course, Isner is also a famous "giant" in the tennis world, his height reached 2.08 meters, and he was known for his strong serve and forehand attack.
WTA500 Race St. Petersburg
Winner: Kontawirt
St. Petersburg's women's singles final this year welcomed the top two seeds of the tournament, and the Greek star Sakari in the first half of the zone sat down, defeating Potapova, Alexandrova, Mertens and Begu to advance to the final.
In the second half of the division, Estonia's Kontaveit led the way, with opponents she eliminated on the way to the top of the ladder including Teichmann, Costia, Benzic and Ostapenko.
Final No. 2 seed Contavita laughed to the end. She came back from a strong reversal in the decider 2-5, winning 20 consecutive indoor hard courts while also winning four consecutive titles, and the real-time ranking has refreshed her personal best to No.6.
ATP250 Sai Buenos Aires
Champion: Rudd
Like the St. Petersburg finals, this year's Men's Singles Final in Buenos Aires was played out between the top two seeds of the tournament, with top seed Rudder challenging the tournament's No. 2 seed Schwartzman.
Known as the "King of the 250 Races", Rude eventually defeated Schwartzman 2-1 to win his seventh title in the 250 races, which was also the seventh title of his career.
It is worth mentioning that since the end of last year's French Open, the young Rudd has won 15 consecutive games on clay, which is the third longest clay winning streak record for active players. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
