Tomorrow at one o'clock in the morning, the Miami Masters continue to play the quarter-finals of the first half, in which the world's second, Russia's new Tsar Medvedev against the world's tenth, the defending champion of the tournament, polish upstart Hulkach, the stakes are high: because Medvedev regained the world number one, in one move!
On 28 February 2022, Medvedev finally replaced AtP as attic's new world number one after missing several chances in the 2021 season and another at the 2022 Australian Open. Ended Federer, Nadal, Tsing, Murray four giants of the men's tennis world number one for 18 years. Medvedev became the first post-90s world number one and the 27th world number one since ATP introduced the computer points ranking system in 1973. This is a major event in the history of ATP, marking the subversion and inheritance of the hegemonic rule of the big four by the post-90s, especially the post-95s players.
However, the good times did not last long, Medvedev sat on the throne of the world number one for only three weeks, because he was defeated by the French veteran and cool black Monfils in the third round of the Indian Wells Masters, leaving Xiao De to lie back in the world number one on March 21. This is really in response to an old saying: it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country!
Now at the Miami Masters, one of the back-to-back "Sunshine Doubles," Medvedev is riveted to win four games in a row to regain the world number one he just lost. Sure enough, letting go of the ideological baggage of debuting world number one and turning pressure into motivation, Medvedev won three consecutive games and two sets against former world number one Sir Murray, Spanish player Martinez and American rookie Brooksby after 00, ushering in a key battle with defending champion and Polish upstart Hulkach. As long as Medvedev defeats Hulkach in the early hours of tomorrow morning, he will return to the world number one throne on April 4.
Medvedev and Hulkach, who are also post-95 players, have met three times in their careers so far, and Medvedev leads 2 wins and 1 loss. In the 2021 Wimbledon quarterfinals, Hulkac defeated Medvedev in five sets to reach the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. Inspired by this, Hulkach swept the wimbledon king Federer in the 2021 Wimbledon 1/4 final (including the third set to send eggs) to reach the final four of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. Sadly, the grieving defeat in the 2021 Wimbledon quarterfinals is the final battle of the brilliant career of 20-time Grand Slam champion Federer. Hundreds of millions of fans are waiting, when will AtP's 18th consecutive year most popular player award winner Federer return to the game?
After Medvedev's defeat to Hulkach, he won two consecutive revenge games. In the 1/4 final of the 2021 Rogers Cup Masters in Canada, Medvedev reversed his victory over Hulkach and finally won the championship. In the group stage of the 2021 finals, Medvedev once again reversed and defeated Hulkach. Winning in two such reversals has undoubtedly helped Medvedev to accumulate confidence and experience in the victory over Hulkach.
Tomorrow at one o'clock in the morning, in the quarter-final of the Miami Masters, Polish upstart Hulkach is determined to continue on the road to defending his title, while Medvedev vows to win one more game to regain the world number one. Whose hand the deer dies, and it is clear. (Source: Tennis House Author: Colorful Bean Powder)
