After the make-off victory over Hurkacz, Serbian king Deyo is one step closer to defending his title, which also means that he has another hope for his impact on the Grand Slam of the year!
When Deyo was asked about the Grand Slam of the Year when he did not win the French Open, the Serbian king said that everything would wait until he won the French Open. Finally, after winning his third French Open title at Roland Garros and achieving three laps of Grand Slam feats, he finally shouted out this great goal of the year.
"I feel good this year, so why not try the challenge? I want to win Wimbledon again, I've won the last four titles in a row and it feels great to play on grass. I am motivated and inspired to continue making history in this sport. After winning consecutive Australian Open and French Open titles, Deyo publicly made this statement in a state of confidence, which also made fans and netizens look forward to it.
While there is a strong focus on how Deyo will reach the annual Grand Slam from Wimbledon and there is a heated debate, the two former coaches of the Serbian king, Becker and Wajda, have a sharp difference of opinion on this issue.
"From his perspective, it would be a mistake to make this clear now. Because you know what happened last time: he won three Grand Slam finals, reached the final at the US Open, then couldn't bear the nervousness and ended up without a major victory. For the annual Grand Slam, in Becker's view, Deyo should not take the initiative to shout out, but should take one step at a time to avoid an embarrassing situation like the one in 2021.
2021 is definitely the year of Deyo's dominance in tennis, and the Serbian king is almost unstoppable. When he won the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon in one fell swoop, for the last hard-court Grand Slam tournament of the year, the US Open, almost everyone thought that Deyo had a chance to win the Grand Slam of the year at Flushing Park, alongside Donald Boogie and Rodravol, two legendary predecessors.
Born in 1915, American tennis player Donald Boogie was the first annual Grand Slam winner in men's tennis history when he accomplished the feat at the age of 23; Rodraver is the player who has achieved the Grand Slam of the Year twice in tennis history and is regarded as one of the greatest male tennis players in history.
For Deyo, if this feat can be achieved in 2021, it will definitely be a huge honor for his career, knowing that this honor has not been achieved even by Federer and Nadal, who were at their peak.
While the outside world is waiting for the historic moment when Deyo realizes his career in Flushing Park, New York, to witness his greatness, I don't know if it is the greater ambition in the Serbian king's body, Deyo participated in the Tokyo Olympics, and singles and doubles battled, and the desire to bet on a bigger and golden slam was also fulfilled.
Unfortunately, due to the consumption of too much physical energy, and after several hard battles before reaching the final of the US Open, although Deyo finally reached the US Open final as he wished, he was defeated by his opponent in straight sets when he fought against Russia's Dmitry Medvedev, and finally paid a heavy price for his ambition and failed to hit the Grand Slam of the year.
Now Becker brings up this matter again, the implication is that he hopes that Deyo will keep the goal in his heart, take one step at a time, and if he shouts it out in advance, it is very easy to be targeted by others and arouse the motivation to oppose him, which is very unfavorable to Deyo and will also increase his pressure.
"I hope he doesn't talk about it and just tries to win Wimbledon on the grass and then the US Open title will come at some point." Becker suggested to Deyo in a serious voice.
However, for Becker's suggestion, Wajda, another meritorious coach who Deyo had once been a mentor and father, had a different attitude.
"Of course, Novak's chances at Wimbledon are very big, and the change in mentality will determine the outcome of the US Open. The competition at the US Open will be fierce, not as easy as on grass, Alcaraz will be a very dangerous defender and defending champion, Zverev is gradually returning to the top, and Medvedev will be increasingly threatening, so Novak will face even more fierce competition in New York this year. When recently asked about Deyo's Grand Slam, Wajda bluntly said that despite the fierce competition on the road to achieving this feat, he still has confidence in the former disciple, and stressed that Deyo's mentality will be the key to achieving this great moment.
In addition, in Wajda's view, as long as Deyo does not drop the chain or has health concerns, there is a great opportunity this year to make up for the major regrets caused by the failure of the 2021 annual Grand Slam.
"This year won't be interspersed with the Tokyo Olympics like in 2021, so Novak won't make the same mistake again!" Wajda believes that the absence of such a thing as the Olympics this year will make Deyo more focused when it comes to the grand slam of the year, and once Deyo is not disturbed and influenced by other external factors, such Deyo will naturally be trusted infinitely.
Wajda's departure from Deyo's team in 2021, according to him afterwards, was partly due to Deyo's serious differences of opinion when he participated in the Tokyo Olympics. At that time, Wajda believed that the Tokyo Olympics should be abandoned and all his energy should be devoted to preparing for the US Open, and it was more important to hit the Grand Slam of the year, but Deyo insisted on participating in the Olympics, and it was the overturning incident that finally hit the final piece of the puzzle of the Grand Slam of the year at the US Open.
While Becker thinks it's a bit premature for Deyo to talk about an annual Grand Slam before a victory, he worries that the Serbian king "doing this before the victory is usually a mistake and usually you won't win." But Wajda believes Deyo will certainly not repeat the same mistake after avoiding the Olympics. So who do you think makes more sense to the disagreement between Becker and Wajda?
