The top 4 of the Australian Open men's singles are out! Deyo is the first in odds to win the championship, and Alcaraz is out: I'm sad

With the Australian Open men's singles No. 2 seed Alcaraz losing 1-3 to Germany's Zverev Jr. and being eliminated, the top 4 of the 2024 Australian Open have been officially released. Djokovic and Sinner in the top half of the bracket respectively, and hard court specialists Mei and Zverev Jr. in the bottom half. On January 26, Beijing time, the two semifinals were staged successively, and the winners of the two games will become the champions and runners-up of this Australian Open.

Let's talk about the No. 2 seed Alcaraz first, late at night on January 24, Beijing time, in the Australian Open men's singles 1/4 finals, Alcaraz broke Zverev's serve to win the game after losing two sets in a row, and won the tie-break, dragging the game into the fourth set, but German Zverev Jr. resisted Alcaraz's counterattack with his stable performance, and finally won 6-1/6-3/6-7(2)/ Eliminated Alcaraz 6-4, returned to the semifinals of the Australian Open after four years, and will next compete with hard court expert Xiaomei for a ticket to the final.

Alcaraz's loss to Zverev Jr. was also an upset, and Alcaraz said after the game: "It's a pity, but that's the game, I'm sad. Because I had a lot of confidence in the previous round and I served very well, but I didn't serve well today. In today's match, I was happy to play a quality game in the third set, but unfortunately I couldn't continue in the fourth. Actually, I had a chance at 4-3 in the fourth set, but I didn't take it. ”

"I had a bit of ups and downs, especially when I didn't find the feeling of serving. His return was great and it put me under a lot of pressure. So I have to continue to work hard and improve myself. ”

Alcaraz is only 20 years old, not yet 21 years old, he was previously pinned on high hopes and was considered a talented teenager, and he is already a 2-time Grand Slam champion at a young age. But he may have lost himself, especially after winning two Grand Slams, and he has set his sights on Djokovic alone, and it seems that the entire tennis world is no one else except Djokovic.

There is no doubt that this positioning, in itself, is wrong and narrow-minded.

Alcaraz likes to play "waves", and he can win the game if he is playing properly, but he uses unconventional play, such as putting the ball when he shouldn't put the ball, saving the ball when he shouldn't be desperately saving the ball, and changing the line when he shouldn't blindly change the line. In addition, there are still shortcomings in his skills, his patience is poor when attacking, he is easy to be impetuous, and the control of the landing point of the ball needs to be improved.

In short, Acre has reached the bottleneck period of its own technology, and it seems that there is a decline compared to the first half of 2023 and before. Because he hasn't had a decent result since he won Wimbledon in 2023.

In fact, in the fourth set, Aka had a chance to win, but he didn't catch it. Zverev Jr.'s psychological quality is not top-notch, his performance is not stable, and Aka's performance is also unstable, some people may say that he is still a 20-year-old child, he can play waves, he can be unstable, he can squander time, he can improve. Fans who previously asserted that Arca could easily win 20 Grand Slams, will they still say the same?

I'm afraid that such an allusion to Zhongyong has already come out, right? We can only see if Aka will play better in the next clay season.

Let's talk about the top 4, the current Djokovic odds to win the championship are: 1 to 1.72, the most advantageous, followed by the Italian rookie Sinner, 1 to 4, the third is the hard court expert Xiaomei, 1 to 6, and the last one is Zverev Jr., 1 to 9, which means that the outside world is not optimistic that Zverev can win the championship. Because his strength is the weakest in the top 4, especially the psychological quality is not strong, and the key points are poor. Will Deyo be able to lift his 11th Australian Open trophy as he wishes? We'll soon find out. The view is that as long as Djokovic beats Sinner, he will win the title, regardless of who the final opponent is. [Text/Fighting Jianghu]
