The London Finals are about to start, and Argentinian dwarf Tiger Schwarzerman, who was finalized for the last seat, has arrived in London before others to prepare for the first finals for his personal participation.
According to statistics, he entered the ATP Finals for the first time, and also became the eighth player in the history of Argentine tennis to unlock this achievement. Who are the other seven players? Look, the specific shortlisted candidates and the corresponding season:
Vilas: 1974-1976, 1978, 1980-1983
Kleck: 1981-84
Nalbandian: 2003, 2005-06
Coria: 2003-05
Gaudio: 2004-05
Puerta: 2005
Del Potro: 2008-09, 2012-13
Needless to say, Vilas is the first and most successful tennis star in Argentine history, having been shortlisted for the end of the year six times in history, spanning nearly a decade.
At the same time, another player, Kleck, was completely suppressed by it, and only briefly entered the year-end three times.
The next few are more familiar to everyone. Especially in 2005, Argentine players occupied half of the quarter-finals. It is no wonder that in the French Open final in 2004, the two sides were the champions Gaudio and the runner-up Corria, who were both selected for the year-end of the following year. In the 2005 French Open final, Nadal's runner-up Puerta, who lost to a newborn calf, also made a strong entry.
But Nalbandian is the most interesting, and Naban, who did not make a finalist, is ready to go fishing on vacation. Temporarily informed by the organizing committee that some stars were injured and withdrew, and he got a substitute opportunity, came to Shanghai all the way to cut the barrier, and the final actually fought five sets, defeating Federer at the peak to win the championship.
You know, at that time, the old cow had already won many Grand Slams, and was in a position of solitude in the tennis world, plus the semi-final opponent Gaudio also lost to him in a double-egg manner. I have to say that Nalbandian is truly a unique presence!
A little closer, it was the turn of the master brother Del Potro to appear. The star who overthrew Federer Flushing's five-game domination in 2009 also made a successful year-end entry that year. In addition, he also won the bronze medal at the London Olympics in 2012 and was shortlisted again that year. Unfortunately, due to the plague of injuries, it was not allowed to give full play to its strength, otherwise, it would never have been shortlisted twice.
And just when Schwarzerman won the finals, the master brother who is the big brother also sent his blessings at the first time. Is the strongest 170 on the surface sending a head in the Finals or playing the role of a spoiler? Let's wait and see! (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
