This afternoon, Beijing time, the highly anticipated Acapulco semi-finals began. In a later match, the tournament's top seed, Russian Medvedev, faced fourth seed and three-time tournament champion Nadal.
The last time the two met was at last month's Australian Open. At that time, Nadal staged a stunning reversal after falling behind in two sets, and finally let the two chase three, and won the Australian Open for the second time, achieving a double full slam.
Such a reversal is not the first time in the history of the two men,019's year-end finals group stage, Nadal also staged a good turnaround against the wind.
Let's go back to the game that played today. Nadal won with two straight scores. The process of these two sets is similar, and it is Nadal who achieved a key break at the beginning of the set, which laid the winning game.
Throughout the game, although Nadal once sent more than a dozen break points, he stubbornly saved his serve, once again continuing the invincible state since the beginning of this year.
The Russians, on the other hand, appeared to be conservative in key points, did not grasp a break opportunity, and finally let Nadal break again in his own inevitable serve, and handed over the game.
Before the match, Djokovic unexpectedly stopped in the quarter-finals of the Dubai tournament, and May successfully advanced to the Acapulco semi-finals. In contrast, the Russians have decided to be the new world number one next week.
He should have been "proud of the spring equinox", but he seemed to be incompetent in this game, which was reflected in the inability to grasp the key points. If the breakback can be achieved in the first and second sets, it is believed that the progress of the game should develop in another direction.
But Mei Zong became the king of the leakage point in this game and did not grasp any of them. In turn, he repeatedly complained to the outside of the field after playing the wrong ball, I really don't know if it has just been crowned world number one to bring him some pressure?
The 2019 Canadian and year-end finals, this year's Australian Open and Alpulco, it can be said that in the hard court matches at all levels, Nadal gave May a total defeat. Who's to say he can't do it?
In the final, Nadal will face The Englishman Nori, who is also the left-hander. The latter defeated third-seeded Tsitsipas in the semi-finals, which was also quite surprising.
Will Nadal continue his strong winning streak, or will Nori repeat the scene of last year's Indian Wells Masters victory? Let's wait and see! (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
