Tennis tournaments have been suspended for a long time, during this time, all kinds of evaluations, voting events are endless, just recently, a vote about the US Open men's singles championship battle came into view, quite interesting.
It was a fan-dominated poll that included previous U.S. Open men's singles champions. In these lists, the stars are shining, including the American double stars Sampras and Agassi, the last pride of the homeland, Roddick, not to mention the three Fernards who have already achieved fame, and the ancient mythical beast Connors and others. The final champion was surprising, and it was the Russian Tsar Safin, who had only won the championship once.
First look at the distribution of the draw: the first half is full of Federer, Safin, Del Potro, Connors and other good players; the lower half is more star-studded, including Nadal, Djokovic and Murray, as well as the ancient gods Rodraver, Arthur, etc., Wawrinka and Cilic are also in this half.
The final clash was between 2000 champion Safin and 2010 champion Nadal. And look at the way for the two of them to advance:
2000 champion Safrenrenk 1978 champion Connors, 2009 champion Del Potro, 2004 champion Federer, 2008 champion Federer.
The 2010 champion Nadal defeated 1999 champion Agassi, the 2016 champion Wawrinka, the 2011 champion Djokovic and the 1990 champion Sampras.
In terms of importance, the victory at the turn of the millennium highlights that Safine's victory at the US Open is timely. (His other Grand Slam title was also won at the centennial Australian Open, and it seems that the Russian picked a good timing.)
And Nadal, not to mention, 10 years of the US Open made it a Golden Slam, which is an honor that Neither Federer nor Djokovic has ever touched.
More importantly, these two people are voted by fans, and being able to defeat two generations of popular idols Federer and Sampras in the semi-finals is enough to show that the popularity of the two fans is not bad.
Nadal was able to defeat Sansan, on the one hand, due to his achievements, and he had surpassed Sampras by one position in the number of Grand Slams. And Nadal, whether it is his spiritual quality or professional ethics, is an exemplary example.
And Safin can beat the global home Federer, which is a cold goal. But when you think about it, it's not entirely true. The Russian is handsome, has a bold personality, and his playing style is also a big deal, which has won him countless fans, especially female fans. After so many years of retirement, he still let the fans dream about it, which is enough to prove his good personal charm.
However, this is only a voting event for fans after all. Who is the best US Open champion in your mind? Leave your opinion. (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
