It seems that the road to Deyo's victory is a smooth road, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging and not so simple. Recently, the Men's Singles participation list of the Tokyo Olympic Tennis Event was released, a total of 64 people participated, first let's see which famous players will participate:
(1) Serbian squad: Djokovic (1st), Ketsmanovic (49th)
Serbia should have 4 people in the Rankings to participate in the Olympic Games, but only 2 people can be sent to participate in the men's singles. However, who let the family have a dejo, with a block of ten. Previously, Deyo had participated in 3 Olympic Games, the Beijing Olympics lost to Nadal and won a bronze medal; the London Olympics lost to Murray; the most wronged was the Rio Olympics, but the state was eliminated by the master brother who returned from injury, and suffered a round of travel. In the Big Four, Federer has a men's doubles Olympic gold medal, Nadal has a Beijing Olympic gold medal, Murray has two Olympic gold medals in London and Rio, only Deyo has not tasted the taste of gold. This time, most likely Deyo's last Trip to the Olympics, the desire for gold medals was even greater.
Biggest favourite to win the Olympics: Djokovic Djokovic
(2) Russian squad: Medvedev (2nd), Rublev (7th), Karatsev (24th), Khachanov (28th)
This is Russia's highest ranking 4, pouring out, the quality of the leverage, it can be seen that Russia's ambitions in singles and doubles are not small, it seems that the problem of taking away two medals is not big.
Medvedev is young and winning, and he is good at hard courts, and he has already had a US Open final experience, and his advantage is that he is young, recovers quickly, and can adapt well to the Olympic schedule. If you meet Dejo, you have to be in the final.
Blocker 1: Medvedev
(3) Greek squad: Tsitsipas (ranked 4th)
The Greek men's singles squad had only Tsitsipas. Since Tsitsipas' French Open final was reversed by Djokovic' two-for-three, Wimbledon has taken another round of travel, and it can be seen that the state has not yet adjusted from frustration. However, Tsitsipas has always had a good record in Asia, and this Olympic Games has a three-set, two-win system, and Sissi does not have to be afraid of being overturned again [covering his face].
Blocker 2: Tsitsipas
(4) German squad: Zverev (6th), Struf (45th), Copfil, Korschreber
Zverev led the German team, and Zvi Jr. has been very stable in the past two years, rarely getting out of the first two rounds, and the game is getting more and more content, and slowly starting to be a bit of a general. If this is on the line, it is really possible to keep Deyo out of the door.
Blocker 3: Zverev
(5) Swiss squad: Federer (ranked 9th)
The Swiss men's singles list is only Federer, and Wawrinka is injured in the hospital and can't come. Although Fei Tianwang said that he wanted to decide not to come to Tokyo after Wimbledon, he should have a good chance of participating in the Olympics. He's still missing a men's singles gold medal, and besides, he has to represent Switzerland. Federer currently looks more and more in shape at Wimbledon, but for a 40-year-old, after Wimbledon, quickly switched to hard ground, participated in the Olympics, the interval between which is too short, is not good for recovery and adjustment. The few boys in front of them, each one of them was a good troublemaker, and it was difficult for Fei Tianwang to go to the end.
(5) Italy: Berrettini (ranked 9), Sina (ranked 23rd), Sonnego (ranked 27th), Fognini (ranked 31st)
Berrettini
Italy's list is also not to be underestimated, the average is high. Berrettini has just won the Queen's Cup, is more accustomed to the grass court, and is one of the small favourites for this Wimbledon title [cover your face]. Both Berrettini and Sina reached the quarter-finals of this year's French Open, one losing to Djokovic and one to Nadal and missing out on the final four. The two of them belong to the top ten in the class, but they can't beat the top 3.
(6) Argentina: Schwartzmann (ranked 11th)
Schwartzman, the short-footed tiger, to be honest, is just like his ranking, barely a top student. No matter how hard I tried, I didn't have the strength to take the first place.
(7) Spain: Carrero Busta (13th), Davidovic Fokina (35th), Andujar, Cábarez Baena
If Natto does not come, Spain's list is too inferior, and I don't want to read it.
(8) Australia: Deminarl (ranked 15th), Kyrgios (ranked 60th), Millman (ranked 43rd)
Just on Wimbledon, DeMinal was upset by the American rising star Koda and was out of the first round. In fact, he is still in good shape, and has just won a championship in the grass race, which may be that the new star is too fierce.
This Kyrgios really has to say that the mischievous elements in the class, as he himself said, are crazy and anyone can win. However, his trick is not good enough for Djokovic, but it may cut off other hot spots.
(9) Belgium: Goffin (ranked 16th)
Goffin withdrew from Wimbledon due to injury, and it is estimated that after recovery, it will be difficult to get up for a while and a half.
(10) France: Monfils (ranked 17th), Amber (24th), Chady, Simon
(11) Poland: Hulkach (ranked 18th)
Hulkach, the name may be a little unfamiliar, but this is a dark horse. At the 2021 Paris Masters, he won the Masters championship all the way and was the first player to win the Masters championship with a ranking other than the TOP30. It is normal to cause some trouble for everyone at the Olympics.
(12) Canada: Aliasim (ranked 19th), Pospihir
Aliasim was trapped in the spell of not winning in the final and could not extricate himself. I think it has something to do with the black mentality, like Mbappe missing a penalty.
(13) United Kingdom: Evans (ranked 19th), Murray
Rio 2016 Rio Murray, Del Potro, Kei Nishikori
Murray is the defending Olympic champion, but this time it is difficult to stage the return of the king.
(14) Georgia: Bashirashvili (ranked 20th)
(15) Croatia: Cilic (ranked 37th)
(16) Kazakhstan: Bublik (ranked 38th), Kukushkin
(17) Hungary: Fučović (ranked 48th)
(18) United States: Paul (ranked 52nd), Tiafo (ranked 53rd), Sandgren, Geelong
(19) Japan: Ryohito Nishioka, Kei Nishikori, Taro Daniel, Yuichi Sugita
Xigang Liangren
Since Kei Nishikori was injured, the ranking has fallen sharply, and the current Japanese brother is Yoshihito Nishioka, ranking 55th. Off-topic, in addition to the top 100 people, there are 3 in the top 120. [Tears]
(20) South Korea: Kwon Chun-woo (ranked 71st)
In the tennis men's singles event, we are completely behind Japan and South Korea.
(21) Belarus: Gerasimov, Ivaszka
(23) Brazil: Monteiro, Menezez
(24) Uruguay: Cuevas
(25) Argentina: Coria
(26) Moldova: Albert
If you don't look at the list, you don't know that there is another country called Moldova.
(27) Slovakia: Gompos
(28) Portugal: João Sousa, Pedro Sousa
(29) Egypt: Safwat
(30) Uzbekistan: Istomin
Istomin, the Jakarta Olympic men's singles champion, won the Olympic ticket with this victory. China's Wu Yiyu came to the door with a foot and won the runner-up. This time should be the closest time for the Chinese men's tennis team to the Olympic Games, but it is a pity. To understand the recent situation of Wu Yiyu, click on the tennis genius Wu Yiyu, and the comeback is still the king
(31) Chile: Barrios Vera
(32) Chinese Taipei: Lu Yanxun
Lu Yanxun qualified for the Olympics with ranking protection. The 38-year-old veteran, an iconic figure in the Asian tennis world, is definitely the last Olympic trip, and participating in the Olympics is also one of the reasons why he did not announce his retirement. This year, he has participated in the Masters, the French Open, and Wimbledon, but it is difficult to win.
To sum up: the old giants Deyo and Federer led the olympic gold medal dream again, and the small giants Medvedev, Tsitsipas and Zverev Jr. set sail for the first Olympic trip.
In fact, the talk about Deyo winning the championship has been very loud, and it is true that except for Mei Zong, it is really difficult for others on the list to really impact him, but the last time Rio was also like this. Djokovic had already won the Australian Open and french Open that year, which was very similar to this year's situation, but finally suffered a round of travel. There's a thing called reincarnation or fate, you know... and there's another thing that makes my fate up to me. I want Deyo to be perfect, but sometimes it's more beautiful to be broken. Although there is no Nadal, Murray and Federer are also old and sick, even the nemesis Del Potro has not come, but the new generation of several people are not soft persimmons, Deyo's trip, not so simple.
Is Nadal's retirement Federer/Murray double defeat the Big Four era coming to an end?
