During this time, the ATP was only contested for the Davis Cup qualifiers, and there was no other competition. Let's take stock of the events of February.
1, Nadal hard ground large three yuan
It's a name that can't be circumvented. After the Australian Open, the 21st Grand Slam champion moved to Mexico without stopping.
At the amassant Acapulco tournament, the Spanish veteran once again laughed to the end, breaking the record for the oldest champion in one fell swoop, and achieving a big three on the hard court for the second time in his career.
2. Rublev won the championship back-to-back
Russians keep up with their idols! Rublev, who returned from the Australian Open, is once again a far cry from what his predecessor Safin said that "he needs to do more in the big game".
Known as the "King of the 500 Matches", he also lost the defending title at the Rotterdam Open, losing to Aliassim in the semi-finals. The act of tapping one's own body after making a mistake on the court also makes people wonder how to evaluate it. In short, rublev in this period was extremely disappointing.
But who could have predicted that he would bottom out and rebound right away? At the Marseille Open, he won the title in one fell swoop, ending a year-long championship drought.
Then, at the Dubai race, in the case of the defending champion and compatriot Karatsev's first game, he defended the glory of the Russian men's singles, and finally let his championship number also come to the top double position.
3. Aliassim won the first career title
Since the beginning of this season, a number of players have achieved a breakthrough of zero tour championships. Among them, the most pleasing to the fans is undoubtedly the Canadian little black.
The world's top ten-time champions have been in the tournament several times before and have not won a title, which is very embarrassing. Among them, in addition to the strength of the opponent is strong, it may also suffer more or less from gains and losses.
Fortunately, this time, when facing Tsitsipas, who was "sick with the same disease", the Canadian seized the opportunity and finally achieved his first tour championship.
Now, Aliassim, who has broken through this layer of window paper, believes that the champions will continue to come.
4. Medvedev became the first in the world
In 18 years, there are finally players who can break the monopoly of the Fernard Moldos on the world's first.
Not Tim, Dimitrov, Raonic, Zverev... It was Medvedev, who seemed to be a late bloomer.
The playing style is mediocre, the talent is not particularly good, the image is not outstanding... The Russians are destined to take an extraordinary path.
How do you think these events in February should be sorted according to their importance? (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
