The Acapulco Race is in full swing, and this event is better than the Dubai Race, which was held at the same time, and even in the 500 events of history, it is also a standout.
In the current top five players in the world rankings, in addition to Djokovic, Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas and Nadal have all signed up, and in this tournament, Berrettini, who has risen to a new personal high in the world ranking, can only be relegated to the fifth seed.
This has only happened three times since the 500 tournament was founded in 2009: at least four of the world's top six players are competing in the same ATP500 tournament at the same time.
When are the other two? It happened in Dubai in 2012 and The China Net in 2013. And look
Top 4 seeds in Dubai 2012 (8 of the world's top 10 in this edition):
No.1 Djokovic
No.3 Federer
No.4 Murray
No.6 Tsonga
Djokovic won three Grand Slams the previous year, and the world ranking ranked first for the first time. Federer, on the other hand, is third behind Djokovic and Nadal.
Both of them are star players that Dubai values very much, and their hard strength is outstanding, which can fully guarantee the deeper rounds of the tournament.
Second, they have an idol temperament and star effect, and the organizers of the event who are not bad for money are eager for their box office appeal, and naturally they are tireless in inviting them to participate.
Like 2019 and 2020, Federer and Djokovic won the championship again.
Murray in 2012 was also at his peak. He reached the finals of both Wimbledon and the US Open that year, winning a championship and a runner-up, with the fourth seed ranking very well matched.
What are the top four seeds in the 2013 China Net? (There were 6 top 10 entries in the world that year):
No.2 Nadal
No.4 Ferrer
No.6 Berdych
Two of the big three continue to compete, and as a year ago, Djokovic and Nadal remain at the top of the world rankings, while the fourth seed goes to the previous generation of stable men, Espanyol Ferrer.
World number six Berdych is once again in our sights, three years after his peak 2010 season.
In fact, Brother Bird can also be said to be a stable presence in their generation of players.
How many impressions do you have on these names at that time, in addition to the Big Four? (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
