Serbian King Deyo and Spanish god of war Nadal did not expect that at the end of their careers, the men's tennis world had entered the era of "Three Kingdoms Killing". The man who pushed the men's tennis scene into this situation was an 18-year-old Spanish teenager named Alcaraz!
When Alcaraz entered professional tennis at the age of 15, he saw the great potential of this teenager. At the age of 17, he won the ATP Newcomer of the Year Award for his excellent performance on the field. The following year, it took it a step further and took the title of the ATP New Generation Year-end Finals into its arms.
Unlike many people known as genius teenagers, Alcaraz has a clear goal, aspires to become a giant like Nadal, hopes to dominate the men's tennis world, and has not relaxed his strict requirements for a moment.
In particular, after last year's loss to Murray in the first round at Indian Wells and Madrid's two bloodbaths by Nadal, these two defeats have greatly touched Alcaraz. At that time, he constantly told himself that he must learn how to defeat powerful enemies. After that, he began to train more diligently and began to upgrade himself in an all-round hardcore style.
This year's Indian Wells Masters, for Alcaraz, was a major turning point in his life.
When he met Nadal again in the semi-finals, he was generally optimistic before the game, but in the end, He was blocked out of the final by Nadal with his rich experience, and passed by his first Masters final.
Frustrated, Alcaraz quickly after the game made a serious summary of the loss and a deep reflection. After coming to Miami, Alcaraz's mood was not affected in any way, but he performed better than in Indian Wells, advancing all the way to the final, allowing people to see a new Alcaraz.
In the final, when facing Norway's Gorud, Alcaraz was fully prepared, did not want to give the other side a chance to win the championship, and played his big heart and excellent ability to receive the ball when facing difficulties, defeating Rude in two sets and lifting the Melmi Masters championship that Nadal had never touched.
Looking at alcaraz's entire performance in Melmi, you will find that Alcaraz not only has a super psychological quality, but also plays very mature and sophisticated on the field. It's hard to believe that this is something that a teenager as young as 18 years old can do.
In addition, Alcaraz is excellent in attack and defense, and is also quite good at receiving serves and in front of the net. Such a person with comprehensive technical ability, who can quickly get out of the shadow of Indian Wells' failure, has such an excellent performance at the Melmi Masters, and wins the championship in one fell swoop, no matter who looks at it, it means that the post-00 teenager has really grown up. He used a gold-rich Melmi Masters champion to announce that the whirlwind of this new force after 00 has blown up in the men's tennis world.
When Alcaraz did not really rise, the showdown in the men's tennis world was mainly dominated by two major forces.
One side is dominated by giants such as Nadal and Djokovic, and the other side is dominated by post-95 players such as Medvedev, Zverev Jr. and Tsitsipas. The two forces compete against each other, and in the competition between post-95 players who want to grab the right, the men's tennis game has become very intense.
Although this post-95 force is currently difficult to pose a fatal threat to Nadal and Djokovic in the Grand Slam arena, they have already occupied the territory on occasions such as the Masters. As a result, the giants have been repeatedly knocked out, and it has become more difficult for them to take the Masters champions as they used to.
The strong rise of Alcalas, the representative of the current post-00s generation, and his outstanding performance in dealing with the post-95 players who did not fall behind at all, also invisibly pushed the men's tennis world to the era of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Now for Djokovic and Nadal, even if they lose the Field of masters, they can still hold on to the Grand Slam. However, for the post-95 forces, if in the future, even the only Masters territory they can rely on to survive, is also eaten away by the post-00s like Alcaraz, it is likely that they have not really emerged in the Grand Slam arena and proved their strength, and they will be defeated by the post-00s force in advance.
It is conceivable how Alcalas will be motivated by the victory of the Melmi Masters to other peers, allowing them to grow more quickly and become people like Alcaraz, better participate in the competition and battle of men's tennis.
Anyway, the era of the Three Kingdoms killing in the men's tennis world has arrived! In the next three years, the men's tennis world will also usher in the fiercest and most brutal competition in history. While no one wants to be destroyed by any of the forces, netizens will also feast their eyes, while holding their nervous hearts to watch the game, while witnessing this rare highlight moment in the men's tennis world!
