Before the Tokyo Olympics, and even before the U.S. Open, Djokovic's 2021 season had been a candidate for his personal best season, vowing to compete with the 2011 and 2015 seasons, but with both stops, it cannot be said that this season is mediocre, but it gives people a kind of depression. The world number one has returned to the tour at the Paris Masters and is hoping to end the season with a strong performance. However, in the face of the youngsters' tiger eyes and a three-set two-win format, Djokovic may face an awkward ending.
Deyo may become the first person to be "partial"
In fact, even withdrew from the rest of the season, Djokovic was brilliant enough this year to win the triple crown and successfully achieve a double grand slam in four Grand Slam finals, which is a feat that neither Federer nor Nadal, the big three, has been able to complete. However, after Deyo streamlined this year's schedule, in addition to winning another hometown event Belgrade Class 250 championship, Djokovic has not won the Masters so far, you know, the world's first place and Nadal with 36 Masters titles tied for the first place in history. Djokovic only competed in the Three Masters tournaments of Monte Carlo, Rome and Paris this year, losing to Nadal in the final in Rome. And all his hopes can now only be pinned on the Paris Masters. And if he doesn't win the Paris Masters, Djokovic will become the first player in the Big Three to win three Grand Slams a year without a Masters.
Federer and Nadal managed to avoid embarrassment
Federer reached four Grand Slam finals in both 2006 and 2007, and was also a great achievement in winning the Treble. But Federer won four Masters titles in Miami, Indian Wells, Rogers and Madrid in 2006 and hamburg and Cincinnati in 2007. Although Nadal did not have the feat of reaching four Grand Slam finals a year, he also scored three consecutive Grand Slams in 2010 and won all of them, and the Clay King also won three Masters titles in Monte Carlo, Rome and Madrid in the same year, and completed an unprecedented clay Grand Slam.
Since the 1990 Masters restructuring, no player other than the Big Three has achieved the feat of winning three Grand Slam titles in a year, so if Djokovic can't win the Paris Masters, he will be the first player to make a Splash at a Grand Slam and the Masters to be shaved. However, as this season's five-time champion Rudd said, "I prefer to trade all my titles for a Grand Slam in Djokovic," Djokovic's results this year have been brilliant enough, and victories outside the Grand Slam are more of a icing on the cake!
