World no. 14 and Estoril's top seed Shapovalov lost the first game and lost 4-6, 6-2, 4-6 to Mutaite and left early. This can be said to be an upset out, and it is the number one seed.
Winning or losing is normal. But Shapovalov's loss this time caused great ridicule, what happened?
Shapovalov was interviewed before the game and threw out words of pride and ambition, what did he say? He said: "I feel like I can beat anyone. ”
This sentence stunned many people. How could a Canadian say that? He said: "It doesn't matter who is standing on the opposite side, I will play my own game, and it will naturally work when the time comes." "That makes sense, it's the basic ability of a player.
He went on to say: "Confidence builds up when you start winning, so I feel like I can be a dangerous player, and when I take some wins and get more and more at ease on the pitch, I feel like I can beat anybody. ”
Since he thought he could beat anyone, he should go for the Estoril championship, prove that he was a dangerous player, prove that he could beat anyone.
But! Isn't it a joke that he has not yet won a victory at Estoril, but he has lost, and what he has just said, how contradictory, how embarrassing?
Look at the recent shapovalov new hairstyle, rejuvenate the temperament of a mature man, a little handsome, and strive for a higher goal. As he puts it: "I'm just going to play one game at a time, totally focused on myself, and I think I can go deep into these races." It doesn't matter where I am, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, I just like to play, I like to dominate the game, I like to attack. ”
But that didn't help him change. This year's Canadian record is 8 wins and 8 losses, the worst result is Estoril's second round loss (including the bye), the best result is the Dubai semi-finals, has not yet beaten the world's top ten, how does this make Shapovalov have such a fan confidence?
If he had to prove that he could beat anyone, the Big Three was proof of his combat prowess, seeing that his and Federer's h2h was 0:1, Nadal's h2h was 1:2, and Djokovic's h2h was 0:6. Obviously, Shapovalov is not able to beat anyone, but psychologically he thinks so, it is inevitable to be out of touch with reality, and it is really what fans often call "silly waves"! He's a fool.
The dashing and gorgeous left-handed SLR is Shapovalov's famous symbol, but so far it may not be able to help the young man to beat anyone. If you want to prove that you can beat anyone, you must improve your strength, play the game steadily, and don't think that you are invincible if you win a game!
