In the early morning of March 26, Beijing time, the Miami race began the third matchday competition. In the much-anticipated second round of the men's singles focus showdown, Kyrgios, who played with a wild card, took only 51 minutes to sweep Rublev 6:3 6:0, defeating the Top 10 players for the 23rd time in his career and advancing to the next round.
I believe that most fans will be shocked to see the score of this game, even if they guess the outcome of the game, they can't guess the process of the game. Lubrev's successful break in the first set and the third set seemed to be just the beginning of the wonderful and fierce battle that fans expected, but it was Lubrev's final highlight of the game. Fans who did not have time to watch the game inevitably wondered: What happened to Rublev? Is there something wrong with the body? The answer is no, but rather, Kyrgios's visible knee discomfort. 13 Winners, 9UE, which is rublev this match handed over the report card. It can be said that Rublev did not play too badly, but Kyrgios played really bravely!
Looking back at this contest, rublev entered the state faster at the beginning of the game, a high-quality bottom line draw, a fast-paced change of line, making Kyrgios a passive defensive side. But soon Kyrgios improved his form, and his galloping forehand helped him gain the upper hand in this fast-paced bottom-line matchup. Defeating the opponent in the way that the opponent is good at gradually wears down the ruble's self-confidence. As the game progressed, Kyrgios began to unleash his talents: extreme saves, defensive counter-attacks, passive shorts, frontal crotch shots, and winning the full house. In contrast, rublev's single score is infinitely magnified. To its credit, in addition to Kyrgios's always proud weapon serve and forehand, his level of receiver and backhand is equally impeccable today. Kyrgios, who remained focused throughout the game, did not give Rublev a chance to counterattack, quickly slashed the mess and won the game with a hammer.
The huge gap between the serve ends is a key reason why Kyrgios won easily. In the whole game, Kyrgios blasted 10 Aces, 0 double errors, and the number of straight serves reached nearly half of the total number of serves (25/54), while Rublev issued 5 ACEs, 3 double errors, and the serve was only a pitifully straight 12. In terms of one-shot scoring rate, Kyrgios is as high as 80%, which is significantly higher than usual, while Rublev only has 51%, which allows Kyrgios to continuously pressure Rublev's second shot and gradually tear through the opponent's defense.
Surprisingly, this game Kyrgios showed a rare composure, playing a good ball, winning the game, all acting calm as water, without the passionate celebration of the past, as if all this was natural. Before the game, the new Fakyer Goss said, "We all know what Rublev is capable of, this game I will play as a challenger, if the serve is online, the bottom line plays offense, I can beat any player". In this game, he proved this with practical actions. In the post-match interview, he still calmly concluded: "I may lose to anyone, but I can also beat anyone, this is my tennis story." Following Indianvilles Selenk's three or more bottom-line players, Kyrgios has won two consecutive high-enders in Miami who are known for their high-speed draws, demonstrating his excellent ability to adjust the game.
In last year's interview, Kyrgios revealed the idea of retiring more than once, but after winning the men's doubles title with His Partner Kokinakis at the Australian Open, it was clear that Kyrgios had regained the motivation to play, focusing on the game itself, and there was less and less off-field news in the new season. Even after The Indian Wells Race easily defeated the rival Rudd, the press conference was unexpectedly uneventful, and also praised Rudd's outstanding performance in the past two years. Many fans previously believed that in Kyrgios, "genius" and "madman" coexisted, and if he did not have uncontrolled negative emotional catharsis, he might not be able to play many amazing and wonderful goals. But this victory, Kyrgios, proved that he would only show a more terrible level of calm. Of course, in Kyrgios's previous career, he has also staged several "prodigal son returns" dramas. This time, how long can the ageing Kyrgios keep this state? But there is no doubt that the presence of Kyrgios, who focuses on the game itself and does not make a fuss about the "moth", is a blessing in the tennis world. In Miami, where the Big Three are absent, we have reason to expect the coconuts that play seriously go further and bring more surprises to the fans! (Source: Tennis House Author: Wenwen)
