What was the score of the third match between Djokovic and Medvedev in the 2022 year-end finals?
Deyo, who won four consecutive victories before the game, is more favored by fans. In one of the pre-competition contests, most people thought that Dedatin won by 3-0 or 3-/kloc-0.
If Deyo wins, he will be the "only third" annual Grand Slam after Rodlaval and Graf, and he will be one position ahead of his old rival Fenal and enjoy the supreme glory of the goat with 2 1 Grand Slam.
Unfortunately, such a miracle did not appear after all. Perhaps, imperfection is the normal state of life.
Then, apart from the excellent performance of rival Medvedev, what are the reasons for Deyo's defeat in this final?
One is lack of physical fitness.
Deyo met Retini, Zvilev and Medvedev in the 1/4 final, semi-final and final, and it was very difficult to sign the watch at the US Open this time.
Deyo reversed Berettini and Zvilev 3-/KLOC-0-0 in the fifth game, almost exhausted his physical strength and mentally felt very tired.
After the semi-final, everyone praised Deyo for his good health and unfathomable physical fitness, but he is also a human being, not a god, not to mention that he is 34 years old!
Now, when we look back at Deyo's participation in the Olympic Games in front of the US Open, we will feel that this decision is not wise enough.
For tennis, the Olympic gold medal is far less than the grand slam, and many people advise Germany not to participate in the Olympic Games. But Deyue, who was bent on winning glory for his country, resolutely set foot on the tennis court of the Olympic Games.
Unfortunately, under the pressure of hot weather and tight schedule, Deyue, who is both men's singles and mixed doubles, suffered a double blow at the Olympic Games.
There is another important point. Deyo won the first set against Zvilev in the semi-final of the Olympic Games, and the second set was reversed by Zvilev. This result not only excited Zvilev at that time, but also brought a lot of confidence to competitors such as Medvedev and Sishi.
Before the game, Medvedev said, "We should prevent Djokovic from winning 2 1 Grand Slam, so that the Big Three will have 20 Grand Slams." This time, he, Brittany and Zvilev really did it.
Although Medvedev didn't meet an opponent who ranked too high before the US Open final, he seized the opportunity well.
In fact, this is Mei's third Grand Slam final. He also learned a lot from the previous two defeats to Nadal and Deyo, and finally broke the cocoon into a butterfly, becoming the first grand slam champion after 1995, or defeating the giants to win.
Another important reason for Deyo's defeat is too much pressure.
The biggest attraction of this US Open can be said to be whether Germany and Jordan can complete the annual Grand Slam, which is a very difficult achievement.
Unlike Serena of the 20 15 US Open, Deyo himself did not shy away from this topic before the game, and admitted that he would go all out for this goal.
Especially before the final, Deyo was even more outspoken, saying that he would give his whole body and mind and even play the final as the last game of his career.
At the beginning of the second set of the final, Deyo had many good break opportunities, but unfortunately none of them were able to break. After that, Deyo also fell angrily and was warned by the referee.
Although Deyo is much better than other players in mental and psychological adjustment and can relieve the pressure, he is still not calm enough in the face of the great pressure to create history.
However, such imperfection may be a good thing, whether for men's tennis or for Deyo himself.
Before the final of the U.S. Open, some celebrities thought that Germany would win the U.S. Open on a certain date, but it would not win the Grand Slam afterwards.
If the dream year of Germany and Jordan is a grand slam, this situation is entirely possible.
At the 20 16 French Open, Deyo began a two-year losing period after defeating Murray and winning the coveted French Open title. That year, he also had a chance to win the annual grand slam.
At that time, Deyo had a certain sense of slack after completing the professional grand slam he had been chasing. To tell the truth, as a fan, I felt a certain emptiness after witnessing Deyo's capture of the French Open, not to mention Deyo himself.
Therefore, Deyo's failure to win the US Open this time will make him feel sorry and keep a certain hunger, which will inspire him to continue to work hard for the 2 1 Grand Slam.
This is also a blessing for men's tennis.
At present, among the "Big Three", Federer is infinitely close to retiring because of his age and injury, and Nadal can only compete for the championship on red soil. If Deyo starts to "play for fun" again, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the excitement of many major games and make fans feel dissatisfied.
At the same time, Medvedev, as the first 95-year-old man to win a grand slam, will also enhance the self-confidence and competitive awareness of other new generations, which is conducive to the long-term development of tennis.
However, after the annual Grand Slam dream, Deyo is still the biggest favourite to win the Australian Open next year.
As a slow and hard court, the Australian Open has always been the "back garden" of Deyo. He won nine championships, and he always had the last laugh in every final.
There is also Wimbledon next year, and Deyo also has strong competitive strength.
So, friends who like watching tennis, in which grand slam do you think the German will win the 2 1 title next year?
