This year is coming to an end, and another group of stars will bid farewell to their own life year, and likewise, there will be a group of stars who will usher in their own life year. Next year is the traditional Chinese Year of the Ox, so how will The Swiss King Federer, nicknamed "The Cow," perform in the first year of his career?
Federer, born in 1981, has a total record of 81 wins and 4 losses for the whole year of 2005, which can be ranked in the top three in history. So, do you know who he lost all four of those games? Don't take stock, I don't know, these four people still have a lot of history!
1. In the semi-finals of the Australian Open, Federer lost to Safin 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7 (6), 7-9
After the final encounter the previous year, fate once again arranged the two together. Two unborn geniuses at the Centennial Australian Open brought us an eternal classic in history. Five sets of war, four sets to grab seven, although Federer in the lead in the case of two consecutive losses to steal seven, the final loss, but the technical content of this game is breathtaking.
The only one who can pull Federer off the horse at the peak is the Russian Safin, and this game happens to take place at the centenary Australian Open, which is a particularly meaningful and interesting competition. In the final, Safine beat the local darling Hewitt and won a meaningful Grand Slam title.
2. In the quarter-finals of the Monte Carlo Masters, Federer lost to Gasquette 7-6 (1), 2-6, 6-7 (10).
The Frenchman Gasquet, who became famous at a young age, is no less than a young cow. However, the subsequent development of the two is different from that of cloud and mud, the latter is on the road of the ball king, while the former is "not necessarily better when the hour is big", and in the end it did not develop as people expected. This clay victory in Monte Carlo was one of the few games Federer lost to Gasquet.
3. In the semi-finals of the French Open, Federer lost to Nadal 3-6, 6-4, 4-6, 3-6
This is the first time the two have met in Roland Garros, and the story behind it is known to everyone, and I will not repeat it here, of course, the result is the same.
4. In the final of the Shanghai Tennis Masters Cup, Federer lost to Nalbandian 7-6 (4), 7-6 (11), 2-6, 1-6, 6-7 (3).
With just one win to equal the all-time record held by his predecessors, Federer was reversed by the Argentine and missed a good game. Of course, this match, as well as the performance of the Argentines in this competition, can go down in history.
