Yesterday, Beijing time, the good news came from the tennis world: former world number one Murray will once again cooperate with former Grand Slam champion Lendl. This continuation of the frontier is also the third cooperation between the two.
It is reported that the two will officially hold hands after the Sunshine double match, and Murray will also skip the clay season with a large physical load, as he said in the interview before, and directly choose to prepare for the grass season.
Murray, who returned from injury, although the results are not ideal, but it is indeed a very inspirational fact for us, and we deserve to pay tribute to the applause.
But in the twilight of his career, Murray's idea is certainly not just to take a wild card, play some games occasionally, and get into the main game. Not long ago, he was imagining that he could return to the top fifties, the top twenty, and even the final four of the Grand Slam. It can be seen that the ambition and ambition of the British, after all, are people who can shine with the three giants for a while!
But now he has encountered a bottleneck period because the ranking is not high, which means that he is likely to meet seeded players in the first few rounds, and continuous combat has a very important impact on his results.
For example, last year, he met Zverev, Tsitsipas, Alias and other top ten players in the world several times in the first few rounds. Mo said that they, even Alcaraz, Fosowitz, etc., were enough for the British to drink a pot.
Even if Murray can pass one or two levels, the continuous confrontation masters will naturally make him overwhelmed and tired.
Therefore, it is imperative that Murray still play more efficient games to further regain his form and improve his ranking.
It is true that Murray himself is constantly trying to find ways to adjust, such as changing the racket, such as changing the way of playing, trying to win quickly, and avoiding getting entangled in more rounds. In this way, the loss of his physical strength and body is less.
Coach Lendl is a long drought for Murray. As everyone knows, Murray was unable to win the championship at the Grand Slam that year, and it was under The tutelage of Lendl that he broke the last layer of window paper, won three Grand Slam titles and two Olympic singles gold medals, and became the world's first and year-end first, becoming a figure who could compete with the big three at that time.
This time, can Coach Rendell give him another chance? I'm afraid it's not that easy.
After all, in an interview at the beginning of this year, Murray had a clear understanding: "This year is very important to me, if I still can't make a breakthrough as always, and get good results in the competition, I probably should think about the way forward." 」 ”
It goes without saying! Although Murray was ambitious, he was frustrated again and again, and it was also a big blow to his heart. In which direction will this mentor-apprentice cooperation develop? (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
