Tsitsipas has once again attracted the strong attention of netizens in Miami! This time it wasn't because of any record-breaking victories, but because of his words, he hoped that the Grand Slam would implement a three-set, two-win system.
Originally, Tsitsipas said that this sentence made people feel nothing, and the core reason that pushed him into the whirlpool of public opinion was that he blamed himself and Zverev for their delay in winning the Grand Slam title on the Grand Slam format, and there seemed to be a lot of dissatisfaction in his words.
Referring to Zverev Jr., he stressed that if the Grand Slam had implemented a three-set, two-win system, Zverev Jr. would have been a Grand Slam champion long ago, and he himself was the same.
Tsitsipas was soon criticized for his remarks! Netizens agreed that he may have been psychologically shadowed when he played against giants like Djokovic and Nadal, and he was already afraid of losing.
More netizens believe that as a professional player, I don't want to think about how to improve my competitive level, but I will pin my dream of a Grand Slam on making concessions for myself, which makes people feel a little ridiculous and absurd.
There's a reason Tsitsipas had such a whim.
In last year's French Open final, when he faced Serbian king Djokovic, he once won the first two sets, just one step away from touching the Grand Slam trophy, but in the end he failed and burst into tears.
This matter does not have to think that the blow to him is very big. Because anybody knows that it's a very difficult thing for a player to reach a Grand Slam final, and they have to win six rounds in a row. Tsitsipas was able to reach the french open final, and he must have crossed many difficulties and experienced too much pressure that is unimaginable!
Since grand slams are elimination games, with the deepening of the game and the stronger and stronger opponents in each round, the comprehensive ability requirements such as the psychological and technical level of the players are also getting higher and higher, and the test is extremely great.
In these two aspects, the gap is still very obvious from the current duels between young players such as Tsitsipas, Zverev Jr., Medvedev and Berrettini and superstars such as Djokovic and Nadal.
Djokovic won last year at the French Open after losing the first two sets. In this year's Australian Open final, Nadal also staged such a hat-trick, seeing that he was about to lose the game, but completed a stunning reversal, and the last three sets directly destroyed Medvedev.
Although the giants no longer have an advantage in terms of age, their ability to resist pressure, as well as the experience of many big scenes and difficult moments, will often play an important role in the Grand Slam arena, even if they lose the first two sets, it is very likely that they will finally win the final victory through strategic adjustment.
In contrast, in the three-set best-of-three system of the Tour, Djokovic, Nadal and Federer are constrained by their age and physical fitness, and are often the most vulnerable to upset. But when it comes to the best-of-five grand slam, the giants rarely get upset by young players.
That's the biggest difference between a Grand Slam and a regular tour and what makes it so fascinating.
The reason why the Grand Slam is different from the general tour is because its status and influence are higher than those of the other party, only in this way can it show its honor, let the players think that winning the championship is the most glorious moment of life, and strive to achieve it with all their might.
If the Grand Slam really adopts the three-set two-game system proposed by Tsitsipas, it does not have to think that it is very unfavorable to the giants and the older players, which is equivalent to forcing them to retire early to give way, which also makes the game more exciting and popular.
Although everyone agreed that the Grand Slam would not lower itself to the rank of a regular tournament and implement a format like the regular Tour. Tsitsipas still came up with such an idea, and without thinking about it, it gives people a feeling that they can't afford to lose. This shows that he really should learn from the Big Three. They were also young, struggled, and finally had the status and influence they have today. No one thinks about how to take shortcuts to get a Grand Slam title!
