The 25-game civil war winning streak was ended by the little fan, where did the Spanish god of war Nadal lose?

The third time he played against his little fan Alcaras, Nadal failed to continue to teach the 19-year-old Spanish teenager, and after three fierce sets, failed to create a miracle, and finally was avenged by the other side.

In fact, before the start of this focus war, the relevant information before the game has shown that the probability of Nadal winning this game is not large.

The victory over Goffin has already shown that it is difficult for Nadal to continue at the Madrid Masters. Because Goffin has never been a clay master in the true sense of the word, the two clay championships he won in his career are all from low-level events, and it is normal for Nadal, who has always been energetic in the clay arena, to win Goffin easily.

Surprisingly, the two men fought for more than three hours, and in the end, Nadal won the other side by winning the tiebreaker seven. This shows that Nadal has returned from injury and has not yet recovered to the best, otherwise the Spanish god of war would never have given Goffin the opportunity to bite the game tightly, and with his ability on the clay, he would have already cut melons and cut vegetables to subdue him. Goffin wanted to challenge the absolute authority of Nadal, the king of the clay, and it was clear that his ways were not enough.

After the game, Nadal also didn't seem to be very happy with his performance, which was directly reflected in his mentality before he talked about playing against Alcaraz.

Nadal said, "It's going to be a very, very tough game, there's no doubt he's better than me, he's got good motivation and he's got good competitive momentum. ”

Sure enough, when the two men met, Nadal stumbled in the first set, and was broken by Alcaraz three times, which was really very rare in Nadal's previous clay games, unless the Spanish god of war was in a terrible state.

Although Nadal had the opportunity to equalize in the second set, he still failed to create a miracle in the third set. At the same time as he was defeated by Alcaraz, Nadal's winning streak against Alcaraz came to an end.

In addition, after losing to his little fan, Nadal's record of 25 consecutive wins in the Spanish "Civil War" has been maintained.

A closer look at the match between Nadal and Alcaraz reveals two distinctive features: Nadal's tenacious style of being a god of war is still there from beginning to end, and he is full of hard work; even if Nadal loses, Alcaraz does not win easily against idols who are not in good shape.

If it weren't for the three-plus-hour battle with Goffin that consumed too much of Nadal's physical strength, Alcaraz's revenge on Nadal at the Madrid Masters is highly estimated.

Of course, alcaraz's strength is obvious to all, and it is not a shame that Nadal lost to him, after all, the age difference between the two people is nearly 17 years old, whether it is age or physical fitness, obviously Nadal does not have an advantage, and it is only a matter of time before the new and old kings cross the bat. I believe that Nadal himself may have realized this, so when looking forward to the results before the game, according to the overall situation, he was not optimistic enough.

Nadal lost the match against Alcaraz, similarly in the 2009 Madrid Masters final, when his opponent was Federer.

Before Reaching the final at the Madrid Masters, When Nadal played Djokovic in the semi-finals, the two sides fought in three sets and played for more than four hours, and finally Nadal narrowly defeated Djokovic with a double snatch of seven, and it was difficult to meet Federer in the final.

It was precisely because his big battle with Djokovic consumed too much physical energy, facing Federer in the final, and finally due to physical conditions, he was defeated by Federer in two straight sets, and finally lost.

In addition, there is this year's Indian Wells Masters. When Nadal eliminated Alcaraz in the semifinals in three sets, he finally injured himself, resulting in limited performance in the final, which fulfilled the dream of the Masters championship of Fritz, the American father Fritz.

The reason why Nadal is called the God of War shows that his tenacity and strength in combat are far higher than others, especially in the clay arena, as long as his own body does not appear in a state, the probability of others wanting to win the king of the red earth is too low.

Although Nadal failed to achieve a three-game winning streak against Alcaraz at the Madrid Masters this time, it is really too early to say that Nadal fell to the altar, after all, there is indeed a special reason in the middle, not the strength of the Spanish God of War.

As Nadal said after losing, "My only goal is to stay fit and play at the highest level when I play at the French Open". This also tells everyone from another side that he did not want to win the Madrid Masters, but just wanted to test how his body recovered and how it was. Judging from Nadal's overall performance so far, his purpose has clearly been achieved.

Such a Nadal, if he is not the first favorite to win the title in the next French Open, will you believe it? (Source: House of Tennis Author: Starry Sky of The Moon River)
