The North American "Sunshine Doubles" Indian Wells and Miami Masters tournaments came to a successful conclusion. Fritz, a post-95 American, fought with an injury in the indian Wells Masters final, defeating the Spanish god of war Nadal, who was in the best form and the best record of the 2022 season so far, but also fought with injuries, and won the first Masters championship of his career. Spain's post-00s supernova Alcalas, after reaching the semi-finals of the Indian Wells Masters and losing Nadal in three sets, broke into the final of the Miami Masters back-to-back and won the championship in one fell swoop, creating the best record of the post-00s ATP Tour. Suddenly, fans and the media praised Alcaraz and even the post-00 players, believing that the post-00 players have really risen in the ATP Tour, and the xiaode, Nadal and the backbone of the ATP Tour, the post-95 players who still occupy the dominant position of the ATP Tour, have opened the era of the Three Kingdoms of the ATP Tour.
However, bean powder does not agree with this!
The post-00 player, Spanish supernova Alcalas, is indeed remarkable, not only surpassing Xiaode in 2007 to become the youngest champion of the Miami Masters, but also the third youngest champion after Zhang Depei and Nadal since the establishment of the Masters in ATP in 1990, reaching 11th in the world ranking, only 29 points away from the world's tenth ranked British Brother Nori. However, with this record, it is believed that the post-00 players represented by Alcaraz can now compete with the post-85 players such as Xiaode and Nadal and the post-95 players represented by Medvedev, Zverev Jr., Tsitsipas and Beretini, and jointly perform the dispute between the three countries.
Born in 1987, Xiaode is still the world's first. Born in 1986, Nadal won 20-1 in the 2022 season, winning three consecutive titles and a runner-up including the 2022 Australian Open, creating the best season start in 22 years of his career. Xiao De and Nadal still dominate today's men's tennis world, in addition to the two of them, post-85 players such as France's cool little Black Monfils, Italy's old handsome brother Fognini, Spain's stable man Agut and the 2014 US Open champion, Croatian cannon Cilic, are still strong and not easy to beat. That is to say, the post-85 players are not only far from withdrawing from the ATP Tour stage, but also still occupy a dominant position, smiling at the young junior players.
The post-95 players represented by Medvedev, Zverev Jr., Tsitsipas and Beretini have completely replaced the post-90s players and become the backbone of the ATP Tour, competing with post-85 players such as Xiaode and Nadal to compete for the championship.
As early as the 2017 season, the post-95 players began from the Masters, challenging Federer, Nadal and Xiaode to win the championship from them. In the 2017 Rome and Canada Rogers Cup Masters, Zverev Jr. defeated Xiaode and Federer in the final respectively to win the first two Masters championships of the post-95 players. In the final of the 2018 Madrid Masters, Zverev Jr. defeated Thiem in two sets to win the Masters championship for the third time. At the 2019 Cincinnati Masters, Medvedev defeated Xiaode in the semi-finals and defeated Belgian Lightning Goffin in two sets to win the first Masters of his career. At the 2019 Shanghai Masters, Medvedev, Zverev Jr. (beat Federer), Tsitsipas (beat Xiaode) and Berrettini joined forces to reach the final four, creating the first time on the ATP Tour that post-95 players monopolized the top four seats in the Masters, marking the real rise of post-95 players and launching an impact on the hegemonic rule of the Big Three.
Not only that, the post-95 players began the 2018 season, on the stage of the year-end finals, grabbed power from the big three and frequently played Kai. Zverev Jr. won the 2018 finals for the first time with an impressive record of defeating Federer in the semi-finals and defeating Peter Jr. in the finals. Then, Tsitsipas, Medvedev and Zverev Jr. won the 2019, 2020 and 2021 finals consecutively. Once upon a time, the ATP year-end finals champion, which has been made by Federer, Xiaode and Murray in turn, was monopolized by post-95 players.
Starting from the 2019 US Open, the post-95 players have launched a fierce attack on the big three in the Grand Slam arena. Medvedev lost to Nadal in the 2019 US Open final, Zverev Jr. lost to Thiem in the 2020 US Open final, Medvedev lost to Xiaode in the 2021 Australian Open final, Tsitsipas lost to Xiaode in the 2021 French Open final, and Beretini lost to Xiaode in the 2021 Wimbledon final. The post-95 players who have repeatedly lost battles finally raised their eyebrows in the 2021 US Open, and Medvedev defeated Xiaode in three sets and lifted the first Grand Slam championship of the post-95 players. What is even more exciting is that on February 28, 2022, Medvedev replaced Xiaode as the new world number one in ATP, ending the 18-year rule of Federer, Nadal, Xiaode and Murray on the at-top of the world. Unfortunately, Medvedev, who debuted on the throne of the ball king, was not fully prepared mentally and physically, so that he did not perform well in the "Sunshine Doubles" in North America, and on March 21, Xiaode returned to the world first.
In the next two or three years, the post-95 players represented by Medvedev, Zverev Jr., Tsitsipas, and Beretini will continue to challenge the hegemonic rule of Xiaode and Nadal, and the two sides will win or lose each other.
As for the post-00 players Alcalas, Aliassim, Sina and others, only by working harder now can they grow up in the hegemonic domination of Xiaode and Nadal and the group squeeze of post-95 players.
Born in 2003, Alcaraz is currently ranked 11th in the world, with only one ATP 250, 500 and one each from the Masters, and has lost both games against Nadal and has not yet had a chance to play against Xiaode. Among the four representatives of the post-95 players, Alcaraz and Medvedev are 0 wins and 1 loss, Zverev Jr. is 0 wins and 2 losses, Beretini is 2 wins and 1 loss, and Tsitsipas is 2 wins and 0 losses. Little Nadal Alcaraz, with unlimited potential, has a Grand Slam record of only the quarterfinals of the 2021 US Open, and has not yet reached the year-end finals, and it is urgent to continue to learn from idol Nadal's humble and courteous style of play and tenacious and indomitable fighting spirit, train hard, improve technology, enrich tactics, and go to the next level.
Born in 2000, the Canadian genius Aliasim reached the final four of the 2019 Miami Masters, and last year ushered in a breakthrough, Wimbledon quarterfinals and US Open four, becoming the leader of the post-00s players. In the 2022 season, Aliassim continued to make progress. Fought alongside compatriot Shapovalov to win the first ATP Cup for Canada. After reaching the quarterfinals of the 2022 Australian Open, he fought Medvedev in five sets in the quarterfinals, and was reversed after missing a match point in the fourth set. In the final of the ATP500 Rotterdam in February 2022, Ariasim finally won the first title of his career after eight consecutive finals. Now ranked ninth in the world, Aliassim must improve stability while strengthening the offensiveness of the forehand and backhand, especially in the final semi-finals and finals of the tour, honing the quality of will and cultivating a strong champion heart. Only then will Aliassim be able to move forward in the fiercely competitive ATP Tour without falling behind.
Born in 2001, The Italian rookie Sinar reached the quarterfinals of the 2020 French Open in one fell swoop, becoming the first post-00s Grand Slam quarterfinalist. At the 2022 Australian Open, Sina once again reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam. Sinar's best results in the Masters were runners-up at last year's Miami Masters and this year's Quarterfinals. As the one with the most tour titles among the post-00s players, only one of Sina's five championships is the 2021 ATP500 Washington Champion, and the remaining four are ATP250 champions. At the end of the 2021 season, Sina broke into the top ten of the world rankings, and has now fallen to 12th, behind the younger Alcaraz, And Sina needs to be ashamed and brave, without whipping himself.
As for the other post-00 players in the world's top 100, there are four Players Brooksby of the United States (35th) and Little Koda (41st), France's Gaston (62nd), and Italy's Moussetti (85th). It is not easy to say what their career prospects are, but they need to train hard and work hard.
Bean powder looks forward to the post-00 players represented by Alcaraz, Aliassim, and Sina, while humbly learning from the post-85s and post-95 senior players, while working hard, training hard, improving their skills, honing their will, and striving to become a majestic force that CANP cannot be ignored as soon as possible, and join in the confrontation with Xiaode, Nadal and post-95 players as soon as possible, opening the era of the Three Kingdoms Of attP Tour.
