Is Spanish tennis king Raphael Nadal really invincible in the 2022 season? To say that it is a miracle to win 21 Grand Slam trophies at the Australian Open, then in the semi-finals of the Mexico Open, Nadal once again staged a miracle, sweeping the quasi-world first Daniel Medvedev with an aggregate score of 2-0 (6-3, 6-3) to successfully reach the final.
You know, this is Nadal's 14th consecutive win of the 2022 season, and this invincible state of god and courage allows us to see that the undead, tenacious and indomitable god of war is back.
Today's semi-final event, for Medvedev, is undoubtedly a blow to the head and disgrace. Because he has just confirmed the top of the world due to Djokovic's exit in the Dubai Open, ending the monopoly of the 4 giants in the tennis world, it can be said that the smile has not yet dissipated, and he was beaten by Nadal. The upcoming 36-year-old Nadal is really a sword that is not old, and today's game is in excellent shape, leaving Mei zong helpless.
At the beginning of the game, Nadal's performance was very hot, and even the protection of the belt was always temperless, and soon won the first set 6-3. In the second set, Mei always improved and was forced out of his own blood, but Nadal was old and strong, and even carried the 11 break points forced by Mei Zong, all of which were successful. Why does this make Mei feel bad?
The last ball, Mei always returned the ball out of bounds, at that time he was still a little unsure, through the slow-motion close-up replay, to determine the out of bounds, Nadal walked to the middle of the net, first did not shake hands with Mei Zong, but let Mei Zong look at the replay, and then shake hands with it, the implication is that Mei Zong lost to the heart. In the end, Nadal defeated Mei Zong 2 6-3 to win the second set.
In fact, the pre-match fight predicted that Nadal might lose 1-2 to Medvedev, because Nadal was not good at 3 sets and 2 win-of-3 matches, but the editors underestimated Nadal's performance and form. Facing Mei Zong, Nadal showed the domineering spirit of the God of War and played excellently, whether it was a strong counter-slap in front of the bottom line or a small ball counterattack in front of the net.
May's total mistakes are more, mainly because Nadal's play is too good and beyond imagination.
Of course, there is also a detail, that is, Nadal's physical fitness can be unreserved in the 3 sets and 2 wins, because the game is at most 3 sets, so in more than 1 hour and 2 hours of competition, Nadal can still ensure the physical output, which is conducive to Nadal entering the state at the beginning. I wonder if Medvedev is psychologically afraid of Nadal and has not yet come out of the shadow of the Australian Open final that was reversed by Nadal 3-2?
Next, Nadal will compete with British tennis master Cameron Nori for the title of the Mexican Open, and if nothing else, Nadal is expected to beat his opponent to win the title. This will undoubtedly bring great confidence to the French Open that Nadal, the god of war, is good at. If Nadal performs well in the French Open and wins the title, it is entirely possible to surpass Medvedev and return to the world number one.
Nadal is currently ranked No. 5 in the world, and Tsitsipas in no. 4 is on a par with Tsitsipas in 4th place, with a gap of less than 2,000 points from Medvedev, and the French Open battle may change the pattern of world number one, and Nadal is expected to surpass Medvedev and return to the world number one. This is not a fantasy, Nadal's state in the first half of this year is indeed hot. Nadal and May have met six times to give a complete 5-1 lead. Let's look forward to Nadal's performance in the back games. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
