On April 24th, 2006, the Monte Carlo Masters, known as the "French Open Wind Vane Competition", ended its last match in Monaco. After four sets of hard work, Spanish genius Nadal defeated the Swiss ball king Federer, who ranked 1 in the world, with a total score of 6-2/6-7(2)/6-3/7-6(5), and won the latest match with his opponent. Since last year's Monte Carlo Masters, this "clay beast" in Corea's eyes has maintained an amazing record of 42 consecutive victories on clay courts.

This is Nadal's sixth victory over Federer in seven times and the fifth victory in a row. In the 2006-07 season, Nadal won four games and Nadal won all the games.

In 2008, he broke into the semi-final of the Australian Open, setting a new record for his personal best, and was defeated by dark horse Tsonga in the semi-final. After that, he won a top four and a runner-up in Indian Wells and Miami, returned to his favorite clay court, and won four consecutive championships in Monte Carlo and Barcelona.
In 2008, the French Open won four consecutive championships.
On the evening of June 8th, Beijing time (the 8th local time in Paris), the final performance of the 2008 French Open was held in Roland Galos. Nadal, the king of Spanish clay, unexpectedly swept Roger Federer, the world's number one tennis king, in straight sets with a score of 6- 1/6-3/6-0, which is the third consecutive year that he defeated the latter in the men's singles championship and runner-up. Since then, Nadal has won the French Open men's singles championship for four consecutive years with his amazing dominance in 28 games, following the Swedish old tennis king Borg.
Besides, Nadal didn't lose a set in seven matches in this French Open, becoming the fifth player in history to win a Grand Slam gold cup with stable performance after roger federer in the Australian Open in 2007, and the last player who did this was Borg of the French Open 1980. The achievement of four consecutive championships also made Nadal the only fourth player to win at least four consecutive championships in the same Grand Slam after Borg, Sampras and Federer in the Open era.
Federer took the lead in serving in this game. He sent out the break point in the first game because of a backhand return mistake, but it was quickly solved. Nadal, who was cornered, scored a winning backhand goal and got another chance to break, seizing Federer's second serve to break smoothly. However, Federer got the first break point after solving the game twice, which was solved by Nadal. The Spaniard led Ping An Baofa 2-0 after the third game. Although Nadal got the break point in Federer's second serve, it was difficult for Federer to keep the serve this time. Nadal easily secured the serve with a love game, and then grabbed three break points in Federer's serve. After a smooth break, it led by 4- 1. In the seventh game, Federer's serve error gave Nadal two counts. In the end, Nadal won the first set with a score of 6- 1 in just 32 minutes.
In the second game of the second set, Nadal got two break points again. As Federer returned the ball out of bounds, Nadal successfully broke the lead with a score of 2-0. However, Federer recovered in Nadal's serve, Nadal's backhand return was caught off guard, and he got two break points again and successfully broke. But in the next stalemate stage of his serve, Federer returned the ball too long and sent it to the break point again. After inducing Nadal to surf the Internet, he successfully resolved the crisis by playing through, and finally successfully guaranteed the hair, and soon the score was tied at 2-2. In the sixth game, Federer got a break after resolving Nadal's one point, but when he came to the net after many shots, Federer failed to return the ball to the net and ruined the opportunity. In the next match, Nadal wasted two break points, and the two sides tied three times, but in the end Nadal seized the opportunity to break successfully and entered his serve victory with a score of 5-3. After a smooth guarantee, Nadal won the game 6-3.
Nadal is getting closer and closer to the championship trophy, while Federer's performance is getting worse and worse. Nadal scored two break points again at the beginning of the third set, but Federer scored three points because of long returns and mistakes, but Nadal resolved. The two sides tied several times, and finally Nadal successfully broke. Since then, Nadal's momentum has become even more unstoppable. He broke Federer's serve twice in a row, and won the championship with a score of 6-0.
In 2008, Wimbledon beat Federer and won the first silver cup.
On the morning of July 7th, Beijing time (on the 6th, London time), the curtain call performance of the men's singles championship and runner-up competition in the 2008 Wimbledon Tennis Open started on Sunday. As a result, Spain's "king of red clay" Nadal experienced an epic battle that took 288 minutes (4 hours and 48 minutes) and made four mistakes. With a score of 6-4/6-4/6-7(5)/6-7(8)/9-7, the Swiss king roger federer, who won the championship five times in a row, won Wimbledon for the first time in his career.
Since then, Federer's unbeaten myth of winning 40 consecutive championships in all England clubs has come to an end, and his dream of replacing Swedish tennis king Borg as the first legendary great player to achieve six consecutive championships in the Open era has also failed. Nadal, on the other hand, became the first player to win back-to-back French Open and Wimbledon in 28 years after Borg of 1980. At the same time, it also won back Spain's first Wimbledon men's singles champion since 1966.
According to the statistics of the competition, the total time of 4 hours and 48 minutes also made this competition the longest battle for the men's singles title and runner-up since 13 1. The long score of 9-7 in the deciding set was the highest score scored in the men's singles final since 200 1 Ivani Savage played against Raft, when Ivani Savage also defeated Raft 9-7.
In addition, after winning his fifth Grand Slam title, the 22-year-old Nadal also surpassed Santana, his predecessor who won Wimbledon at the All England Club, and became the player who won the most Grand Slam in Spanish men's tennis. The latter was pushed to the second place with 4 wins. After Federer in the 2004 -2007 season, Nadal became another player who won at least two Grand Slam titles in a single season. He even had the opportunity to be on an equal footing with Federer at the US Open, which was unveiled at the end of August, because the Swiss king won three Grand Slam titles in the same year three times (in 2004, 2006 and 2007).
As for Federer, he dreamed of becoming the first player in Wimbledon 13 1 history to try to achieve six consecutive championships, but he still failed, and together with Laurie Docherty of 1902-06 and Borg of 1976-80, he became the only three players to achieve five consecutive championships. However, Federer's record of catching up with Borg was forced to end early after Nadal broke the myth that all English clubs were unbeaten in 40 games. The latter achieved an impressive record of 4 1 victory in 6 years, and finally lost to mcenroe, who was also striving for six consecutive championships. However, Federer is still one less than Borg, because he retired from Haas before the game on his trip last year, which is not a victory.
At the same time, Federer's unbeaten record of 65 games on the grass field was also ended by Nadal, which was the first time that he lost in the final of the recent 1 1 grass event. Interestingly, Federer ended the myth of Nadal's unbeaten clay court with a record of 8 1 last year. Now, his winning streak in Caohou Garden has been ended by his opponent. So it can't be said that they are comparable to a pair of great opponents.
Including this game, Nadal kept a big lead with 12-6 in all previous meetings with Federer, in which 9 wins 1 losses on clay court were absolute advantages, 2 wins/3 losses on hard court and 1 wins/2 losses on grass were weak disadvantages. In the finals of all levels, Nadal won 10 with 4 losses, and Federer won 10 runner-up, including four silver plates for the Grand Slam runner-up. In addition to this Wimbledon competition, he won the French Open for three consecutive years from 2006 to 2008.

As the leader of a new generation of Swiss players, Roger Federer is favored by many tennis seniors at the age of 65,438+09, and can make some earth-shattering achievements in the world men's tennis. Even Federer was named the successor of Sampras by fans.
There is no doubt that the 27-year-old Swiss has achieved the highest position in tennis today. Since Wimbledon in 2003, he has won 65,438+02 Grand Slam titles and won the Masters Cup three times at the end of the year. More importantly, he has nearly 2500 points more than Nadal, who is second in the standings, and his position as the king of the ball is unshakable.
In 2006, 92 wins and 5 losses, Federer's total record this season reached a new historical peak, far exceeding the best single-season record of 82 wins and 3 losses set by American star mcenroe in 1984. In 2006, Federer won 12 championships, which means that he won more than 10 championships for three consecutive seasons. In the first two seasons, they won the championship of 1 1 respectively.
In 2004, the 23-year-old defending Masters Cup champion just had the best season of his career, winning 65,438+00 titles, including three Grand Slams and three Masters Series titles.
In 2004, he had a top ten winning streak of 65,438+03 (65,438+08 if traced back to the Houston Masters Cup), during which he beat every top ten player. In addition, in the singles final of the 2004 season, he had a perfect record of 12 wins and 0 losses (going back to 2003, this record was 12 wins and 0 losses). In the past 25 years, only Borg and mcenroe, who entered the Hall of Fame, can be compared with them, and they also won 12 consecutive finals. Federer, as the first player to win at least two championships in clay, grass and hard court in a single season, is also the first player to win in three kinds of venues after Borg of 1979. He won the 1 1 championship for four consecutive times, among which 1 won the championship for 23 consecutive times from June 7 to August, which was the best result of his career. Federer's 2004 season got off to a good start at the Australian Open. In the process of defeating Hewitt (fourth round), nalbandian (quarter-final), Ferrero (semi-final) and Safin (final) to win the championship, he only lost two sets. Shortly thereafter, he ascended the No.1 throne in the world for the first time on February 2, and locked in the No.1 position at the end of the year after winning the US Open on September 13. On February 20th, Federer lost to Henman in the quarterfinals of Rotterdam Open, which was his first defeat of the season. But he immediately won the Dubai Open (beating Lopez) and the Indian Wells Masters (beating Henman). In May, Federer presented his most memorable clay performance at the Hamburg Masters, beating Gao Diao (first round), Gonzalez (third round), Moya (quarter-final), Hewitt (semi-final) and Corea (final) to win the final championship. His only Grand Slam defeat was Roland Galos, who lost to kuerten in the third round. Then, he won four championships like a whirlwind-Harry Open (beating Fisher), Wimbledon (beating Roddick), his first Swiss Open champion (beating Igor Andrev) and Toronto Masters (beating Roddick).
In 2005, Federer's record was 8 1 win and 4 losses, which was only 82 wins and 3 losses created by mcenroe in a single season. This year, Federer won 1 1 singles titles, including two Grand Slam titles and four Masters Series titles, which made him the number one player in the world for the second consecutive year.
In 2006, he lost only five games, with a score of 92 wins and 5 losses, and won the 12 singles championship.
Since 2007, he has won 69 wins and 9 losses and won the singles championship eight times.
After defeating Djokovic 7-6(4)/7-6(2)/6-4 in the men's singles final of the US Open, Federer won the US Open championship for the fourth time in a row and his 12 Grand Slam champion, only two seats away from equalling Sampras' record.
After the game, Federer said: "For me, Wimbledon is always the first. Of course, in new york, the U.S. Open has also accompanied my growth over the years. The US Open is the second most important event in my heart, especially after playing such a famous final with Agassi in 2005, I like the US Open more sincerely. I realized that this is the largest stadium, the main stadium that can accommodate 24,000 fans. It is very difficult to win the championship here. I didn't feel this way when I joined the US Open early. Being able to win Wimbledon and the US Open many times in a row makes me feel incredible. "
Federer didn't cater to new york fans. Although the US Open is modern, important and fashionable, as an old-school tennis player, he still regards Wimbledon lawn as his first important event, perhaps because of his childhood dream, perhaps because Federer won his first Grand Slam title there. The feeling of first love is always unforgettable. Federer, who won the Grand Slam Championship for the first time at Wimbledon in 2003 and shed tears of happiness, probably didn't expect that he could make such great achievements in the next few years: he reached the finals of 10 consecutive Grand Slam events and won the Grand Slam Championship three times in 2004, 2006 and 2007. After Wimbledon in 2003, he only missed six Grand Slam champions in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Federer won five consecutive championships, four consecutive US Open championships and three consecutive Australian Open championships in four years, and won the Wimbledon+US Open back-to-back championship for four consecutive years. Since Federer first tasted the Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2003, only nalbandian of the US Open in 2003, kuerten of the French Open in 2004, Safin of the Australian Open in 2005 and Nadal of the French Open in 2005-07 have stopped Federer from winning the championship crazily.
When talking about records, Federer said: "Frankly speaking, I have started to calculate the records myself. At first, I felt a lot of pressure because there were not enough grand slams. Now when I am getting closer and closer to the record (Sampras 14 Grand Slam), I think that I am only 26 years old, and I am more and more convinced that I can break this record. " When Federer broke the previous record, he was still setting a new record. Even more frightening is that people still don't know who can stop Federer from winning the Grand Slam.
Federer is not a precocious genius. Before winning Wimbledon at the age of 22 in 2003, his best result in grand slam events was only two quarterfinals, and he was eliminated in the first round of six grand slam events. But it is the "frustration education" of these early grand slam events that makes Federer cherish his opportunities, cherish his body and know how to realize the law of tennis through his own efforts. After winning the first Grand Slam title, Federer still faces tough opponents, including Safin, Hewitt and Roddick, against nalbandian, who has won five consecutive victories, experienced veterans Agassi, kuerten, Henman and Moya, and the impact of Davidenco, Gonzá lez, Uzzini, Tommy Robredo and Ljubicic in Mesozoic in the following years, as well as Nadal, Murray and Gasquet.
In 2007, Djokovic will have the biggest impact on Federer's hard hegemony except Nadal, who won the French Open three times in a row on clay. Djokovic lost to Federer in the Australian Open 16 in 2007, to Nadal in the semi-final of the French Open in 2007, to Nadal in the semi-final of Wimbledon in 2007 due to a foot injury 1- 1, and reached the final of the US Open in 2007. After spending seven counts in the first two sets, I lost to roger federer. Djokovic said: "This is my first Grand Slam tournament. Playing in front of 24,000 fans is inevitably a little stressful, but I still enjoy the process. Many powerful elements of Federer also include his willpower. He is number one in the world. He can do very well in every project and every venue. There is no doubt that he is under great pressure, but it is really surprising to see that he has solved such a great pressure. He is very talented and makes good use of these advantages, and he also works hard. He played very well. "

In contrast, they are now at the same height, but Nadal's ability curve is still going up, so I support Nadal ~ ~
