At two o'clock in the morning Beijing time today, the Swiss king Federer, who was watched by many fans, returned to the clay court after three years and his debut was only 52 minutes before it was announced, and Fei Tianwang beat the French SLR master Gasquet 6-2, 6-3 to successfully advance to the next round. Throughout the game, Federer played easily, like a leisurely stroll, and without much trouble, he put his opponent Gasquet, who had lost 9 consecutive games, into his "ten consecutive losing clubs".
To say that the career of french SLR star Gasquet is really sad, I think that I once called Gemini with the Spanish god of war Nadal, and became famous for defeating Federer on clay. Unexpectedly, the Frenchman's highlight moment flashed like a meteor, and from then on, he began a nightmare of losing streak against the Big Four.
So far, Gasquet has not won one of his 15 matches against Nadal; he has won only one of Djokovic's 14 matches, and has suffered 11 consecutive defeats; and his record against Murray is slightly better, with 4 wins and 9 losses, but he has also lost six consecutive games. This time against the old enemy Federer, originally wanted to take advantage of the opponent's three years of not playing clay tournament "good opportunity" to stop the decline of 9 consecutive defeats, but did not think of another complete defeat, obediently sent himself into Federer's "ten consecutive defeat club", becoming the 18th member of this club.
In today's men's tennis world, Federer's "ten-game losing club" has the largest number of members, and there have been 17 members before Gasquette, including many Grand Slam-level players and many first-class masters. Some of them have retired, and some are still losing consecutively.
The first player to become Federer's "club of ten consecutive defeats" was The Chilean Artillery Gonzalez, who was included in the club as early as the 2007 Australian Open final. In the same year, four others, including Russian soldier Yuzni, Australian hare Hewitt, American cannon Roddick and Russian Davydenko, joined the club. In 2008, the club added two more, German Kiefer and Finn Neminin. Joining Sweden's Soderling in 2009 was officially joined by Sweden's famous Soderling, who lost to Federer in the final of the French Open and officially joined the "club of ten consecutive defeats".
In 2010, Spanish "stable male" Ferrer and Croatian cannon Lyubic became the club's 9th and 10th men. In 2011, there was only one person in the club, and he was Spain's Robredo. In 2012, another Spaniard, Fie Lopez, joined Belgian Marise, and Swiss SLR champion Wawrinka became the club's 14th member at the Shanghai Masters that year.
In 2013, Italy's Seppi was also included in Federer's "club of ten consecutive defeats"; in 2014, Czech veteran Stepanek also successfully joined the club. By 2015, German SLR star Koch schreber was successfully recruited by Federer in the US Open, becoming the club's 17th member.
Among Federer's "ten-game losing streak" members, three have Grand Slam titles, namely Hewitt, Roddick and Wawrinka. Among them, Hewitt reached 15 consecutive defeats before successfully "getting out". There are also two Grand Slam runners-up, Gonzalez and Soderling.
Spain's "stable man" Ferrer continued to give Federer a head after joining the club, and has lost 17 consecutive games so far, without winning. Now, Ferrer is about to retire, and he has no chance to "get out", which has to be said to be the biggest regret of his career. Retired Neminen (15 consecutive defeats) and Juzni (18 consecutive defeats) became life members of Federer's "Club of Ten In a Row".
Phil Lopez, who lost 13 consecutively, and Kohl Schreber, who lost 15 consecutively, are also on the verge of retirement, and there is little time left for the "breakout" meeting, and it is almost certain to become a lifetime member. Interestingly, Croatian cannon Lyubic, one of the club's members, joined Federer's team in early 2016 after retiring as coach for the Swiss. To date, Lyubishic has helped Federer win three Grand Slams and four Masters titles.
How, Federer's "ten-game losing club" is lively enough, so many people give Fei Tianwang a head, push can also push Federer to the position of "goat"! Now, the swordless Federer "ten-game losing club" is still expanding, who wants to join? Sign up! (Source: House of Tennis Author: Maverick)
