After reaching the final of the ATP 1000 in Miami, many fans speculated that Rudder would choose to abandon the Houston race to avoid fatigue. So it's no surprise that Ruud eventually announced his retirement. But who would have thought that the reason for Rudd's withdrawal from the competition was actually - wisdom teeth! After the Miami final, Ruud said at the press conference: "I haven't told the media yet, but for the past two or three days, I've been suffering from toothache, and this wisdom tooth has been affecting me for a long time, so it's very difficult to swallow and eat." But I didn't make any excuses for today's game, but it did bother me a lot. I guess I had to make a decision to check it out and hope it wasn't too bad. I just wish I didn't need to have my wisdom teeth removed because I've heard that having wisdom teeth removed can be even more painful! ”
The pain of the hindered wisdom teeth is understood, but the reason for such a grounded withdrawal is also to make people cry and laugh! In a post-match interview with the Miami semifinals, Ruud also showed great enthusiasm for the Houston game: "I have always been a big fan of the Golf Masters, and next week the Golf Masters are going to start again, and I can't wait to enjoy it on TV." Interestingly, I happened to be in the U.S. for Houston during this year's race! "I love the Golf Masters, especially in the U.S., where you have a dedicated golf channel, so it looks very convenient." This withdrawal should not affect Rude's watching the golf game, but this news may disappoint the melon-eating masses who are looking forward to the "Yale War" of Kjergios and Rude! After the release of the Houston signing form, sharp-eyed netizens noticed that Kyrgios and Ruud were divided into the same 1/4 zone, and if neither of them retired, it was a high probability event to meet again after the Indian Wells game.
The battle between Kyrgios and Ruud attracted attention from the 2019 Masters in Rome. At that time, Kyrgios defeated Medvedev in two straight sets and was in good shape. In the second round against the unknown Rude, the two fought to the decider, and when Kyrgios was 1-2 behind, he was directly judged to lose because he was dissatisfied with the audience and the referee, swear words, and fell on the chair. In a post-match interview, Ruud called for a six-month suspension for Kyrgios. In an interview with Norwegian media, Rudder added: "Why can't I celebrate, I got 90 points and 50,000 US dollars, Kyrgios is an idiot!" Kyrgios, who never accepted defeat in a war of words, certainly couldn't swallow this breath and pushed continuously: "Next time you'd better say it to your face, I'd rather watch the paint dry than watch your boring tennis." "I know why you keep rubbing my hot spots, otherwise people wouldn't know you're a tennis player." When the ATP launched a fan interaction Q&A with Kyrgios last year, Rudd asked Kyrgios, "What is your favorite clay event?" Kyrgios replied "your mom", but quickly deleted the comment, adding "We all know from which matches you stole points!" "Interestingly, Kyrgios hasn't played a clay game in three years since that game, and I don't know if there's a reason why he was bothered by that year's defeat. Unlike the hard court where Kyrgios is better at in Indian Wells, if the two can meet again on clay, they can intuitively test how much Rudd has grown in the past three years, or see how much Kyrgios has grown in the past three years, and the feud of three years ago will also add a different color to the confrontation between the two.
Unfortunately, Kyrgios returned to the clay field, and Rudd still broke the contract first. The "Yale War" is in vain, and I don't know whether Kyrgios, who wants to hunt down from the hard ground to the red soil, is happy or worried? (Source: Tennis House Author: Wenwen)
