This year's Wimbledon tournament is in full swing.
In the just-concluded second round of the men's singles, Federer swept the French player Gasquet in less than two hours, which was quite surprising.
Originally, many fans expected this game to be very intense and exciting, but they did not expect such a process and result.
Because Federer stumbled in the first round of the game, and finally entered the next round because his opponent withdrew due to injury, Gasquet was once in the top ten in the world, and he was 5 years younger than Federer.
In this SLR duel, Gasquet only played Federer to grab the seventh in the first set, and in the second two sets, it was simply a thousand miles, without the ability to resist.
In fact, Gasquet is only one year older than Djoyo and Murray, belongs to the same age, and is also a former "genius teenager", who won countless championships in his youth and was once pinned high hopes by the French.
In 2005, at the age of 18, he defeated the world number one Federer at the Monte Carlo Masters, which can be said to be a famous battle, and many fans and peers are optimistic that they will make a difference in the future.
Unfortunately, so many years have passed, and now Gasquet's best Grand Slam result is only two times in the wimbledon final four and one in the us open, which is too far from people's expectations.
And he and the same sharp Djokovic and Murray are gradually drifting apart.
Deyo is now holding 19 Grand Slams, is currently the world's first, and is moving step by step towards the great goal of the annual Grand Slam.
In the era of the "Big Three", Murray won 3 valuable Grand Slams, also ranked first in the world, and won two men's singles gold medals in Olympic tennis.
Now after making a comeback from surgery, although the performance on the field has been far worse than before, he still struggles hard and enters the Wimbledon round of 32 after two bitter battles.
Why are they all former geniuses, and the difference between Gasquet and Djokovic and Murray is so great?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" >01 Weak personality</h1>
As a Frenchman, Gasquet has been smooth sailing since childhood, but his nature lacks a spirit of perseverance and does not have a clear career goal.
Perhaps under pressure of anticipation since childhood, Gasquet once said that as a child he was afraid of being called famous, he trembled when he heard, "You're going to be a big star in the future," and it felt like a curse.
Gasquet's technique was arguably the best among his peers at the time. His single-lens reflex, gorgeous and sharp, landing point exquisite.
However, tennis is not only a technical competition, but also a test of the player's tactics, physical fitness and willpower.
Therefore, Gasquet has been unable to make a breakthrough in major competitions. He was nicknamed "Tofu" by domestic fans because of his weak personality and lack of a domineering spirit.
Looking at Djokovic, with his constantly improving technology and strong willpower, he has saved the match point many times in Grand Slam competitions, and laughed to the end.
Let's say that in the 2019 Wimbledon final, Federer's momentum was dominant in the whole field, and the cheers from the fans were far higher than Djokovic, and in the decider, his own serve had already won two match points at 40:15, but he was reversed by Djokovic.
Later, Deyo once said with a slight bitterness that he would take the strong fans' shouts at Federer on the field as a cheer for himself, anyway, the names of the two people are relatively close.
Djokovic is not a strength player, but he is not only well-rounded, but more importantly, he has a tenacious spirit.
In fact, at the beginning of his career, Djokovic has been suppressed by Federer and Nadal, and his spirit is also very painful, but he still "killed a bloody road".
Although Murray's playing style is more conservative, he also has a more tenacious spirit.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" >02 Lack of clear goals and ambitions</h1>
Another important reason why Gasquet has gone from being a genius to the current decline is that he lacks self-motivation.
He doesn't seem to have any clear goals, goes with the flow, and has not made any big improvements in technology and other aspects.
When Deyo was very young, he was interviewed and made it clear that he would become the number one in the world in the future.
Because there is no clear goal, it is easy to lack self-motivation, and it is difficult to pursue technological, physical, tactical and other aspects of progress.
"Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." The same goes for playing tennis.
If you don't work hard and don't further improve yourself, it is easy to be surpassed by others.
And Djokovic, in order to continuously improve himself, in addition to the long-term coach Vajda, has also hired others to guide him many times.
After the glory of 2011, Djokovic repeatedly lost the opportunity to win the championship in 2012 and 2013.
He believed that his psychological quality at the critical moment was not strong enough, so he invited the German tennis star Becker. Becker excelled in lawn tennis and was once known as the "Golden Boy" with Graf.
When Becker came, he was of great help to Djokovic. From Wimbledon in 2014 to the French Open in 2016, Djokovic won a total of 6 Grand Slams! It can be said that Becker is indispensable.
Djokovic, who began his trough at Wimbledon in 2016, disbanded the coaching staff and briefly brought in Agassi, but received little noticeable effect.
Djokovic was painful, invited vajda back, and later in order to improve the serve, he invited Ivanisevic, a grass master who had created a "wild card miracle", and the serve had a more obvious improvement.
This time at Wimbledon, Djokovic's serve was very good. In the first game he blasted 24 aces, which is rare for Djokovic.
In the second round of the matchup with "Cannon" Anderson, Djokovic's serve was still sharp, and the serve was easy.
That year, after Murray lost the first four Grand Slam finals, he invited Lendl, who had had a similar experience, to improve his mentality and experience, and finally defeated the spell and won the 2012 US Open and 2013 Wimbledon laurels.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" >03 not self-disciplined enough</h1>
As a professional golfer, you need to have strong self-discipline.
In 2009, Gasquet was banned for 2.5 months after being revealed to have tested positive for cocaine at the Miami Masters.
Gasquet said that this situation occurred because he kissed a nightclub girl and then accidentally ate cocaine.
Later arbitrations found that Gasquet's mistaken submission was not used to improve his performance, so he retained the points and prize money he had earned in the competitions he had participated in before the ban.
Such a looseness is completely irresponsible to oneself.
Deyo and Murray, on the other hand, have extremely high demands on themselves and have strong self-discipline.
When he was young, Deyo repeatedly withdrew from the competition because of asthma, and once caused a lot of controversy.
Later, Deyo found out that he was allergic to gluten in food, so he adjusted his diet and strictly followed it.
Deyo trains for 8 hours a day and eats only gluten-free foods to stay healthy.
He even dared to take a small bite of his favorite chocolate until he won the Grand Slam title.
Murray is also conscientious and self-disciplined in all aspects.
In fact, not only in tennis, but also in many other industries. Having good talent does not mean that there will be good results.
It is fortunate to have talent, but it is a pity not to be able to play it well.
