On October 22, the Moscow Open ended a fateful battle, resulting in the world's 51st ranked French veteran Manarino defeating the world's sixth-ranked host Lubrev 5-7, 7-6, 6-3 to avenge the loss to his opponent in the 2019 final.
Born on June 29, 1988, Manarino, who is 1.80 meters tall, is 33 years old this year, and before participating in the Moscow Open, his results this season were only 10 wins and 21 losses, which can be said to be very unsatisfactory, and his career record is only 213 wins and 257 losses. But it is this role that also plays the role of a spoiler in the tennis world, sometimes his state comes up, and it is possible to beat the high-ranking players, and the killing of Rublev this time is the best proof.
In the course of this match, Manarino issued 9 ACEs, and in the second set 5-6 behind, the small score of 30-40 was won by the opponent 1 match point to stabilize the position, the game miraculously regained the initiative, and finally forced Rublev to lose patience in the decider, was broken by Manarino, and finally collapsed and left. Clean up this victory, Manarino improved their record against each other to 1 win and 1 loss, which was also the seventh time in his career to beat the world's top ten players.
From this cold door, it can be seen that the current rise of a group of post-95 players is not strong, unstable at all, and the record of the three giants is more than winning, and sometimes it is difficult to be a big responsibility on the players of the rabble. In this way, it gives Nadal and Djokovic the opportunity to fight for more Grand Slams, because Federer has basically fixed on staying in 20 Grand Slams, but Djokovic and Nadal still have a lot of opportunities to fight for 21st, 22nd and even more, so Nader must have smiled happily when they saw the current chaotic situation.
