At this year's Australian Open, No. 9 seed Rublev and No. 5 seed Dmitry Medvedev are both "settled" in the 4/8 zone. I was looking forward to watching a good show of these two good brothers "loving and killing each other", but I didn't expect that the two didn't even enter the third round, and they both went out with "hatred".
In the first round, Rublev played against Joao. Fonseca.The 18-year-old Brazilian, who participated in a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, took the game into a tie-break at the beginning with a sharp game, and then re-attacked the killer to win 7-1 in the tie-break. It is estimated that Rublev has not completely recovered from his composure, and his opponent broke serve in the second set, losing another set 3-6.
In the third set, Rublev resisted with all his might, and Fonseca became more and more courageous, and the match went into a tie-break again. Fonseca's style of play is attacking, attacking, and he's playing winning points all over the court, and at any cost. In the tie-break game, Rublev fought, but he still made a mistake at the critical moment, and lost the tie-break again 5:7. 0:3 ended the Australian Open tour, no more chance.
No one felt that Rublev was playing badly, but the 18-year-old did not give his opponent a chance to think and breathe at all. Fonseca was like a raging storm, overwhelming the sea and ending the fight in straight sets.
Rublev went out in the first set.
Last night's last second-round match was another bloody storm in tennis. No. 5 seed Dmitry Medvedev and another newcomerLerner. moneyAfter a fierce battle of nearly 5 hours.
For Medvedev, even against Djokovic, he has never been so embarrassed, and even if he loses, he will offer an adoring smile. I always remember the semi-final against Medvedev in Astana during the 2022 Djokovic slump. In the face of "the whole world loses me, I want to win the whole world", Medvedev chose to "retire due to injury" to avoid the crazy Djokovic.
But in last night's game, Medvedev couldn't retreat. To be honest, even if Medvedev lost to Sinner in the Australian Open final last year, he didn't lose badly last night, and when he hit the fifth set tie-break, Mei was also physically exhausted.
Medvedev went back in straight sets 3-6, 6-7(4) before playing a tough third set. Mr. Mei, who has always been known for his baseline defense, was forced to start attacking. Because he was smart enough to realize that there was no way out of continuing the previous style of play.Is there a better way to win this point against an opponent who can win that point in 45 rounds?
Medvedev fought back firmly, although more than one break was broken back.
The third set went into the tie-break again, but this time Medvedev held on, never flinched at the critical moment, and finally won the tie-break 8-6!
After the match, Lerchan said that he couldn't win the third set, which complicated the match.
That's right, Medvedev almost turned the tables after losing two sets first! Yes, just a little bit. In the fourth set, the 19-year-old young player was physically exhausted and almost had no way to fight back, and Medvedev took advantage of the situation to pull back another set 6-1, and the score was tied at 2:2.
The deciding set began.Lernaqian, who had slightly eased his physical fitness, did not rest on his hands, but entered a state of "German defense".A wave of "Chankovic" floated on the barrage。 [Laughs] [Laughs] almost every round is in the teens and twenties, and it seems to be in Medvedev's comfort zone.
Surprisingly, however, Lerner Money is very tenacious. In fact, Medvedev is also in a physical dilemma, and both men are grinding for a few rounds, looking for opportunities to attack the board. In the end, the game enters the decisive battle, and the ten rounds are grabbed!
By this time, it was already past midnight local time. spectatorThere were fewer people, and the cheers were smaller. There are also fewer words of on-site commentary......On the field, every round is breathtaking. The score of the tie-break alternately rises. In the end, it was Lernaqian's tenacious attack to get the match point, 9:8. This time Medvedev was powerless to return because Lera still had the serve. Lerner didn't waste the opportunity and finally scored the last point,10:8 to seal the win!
Medvedev lost quite tragically. He was challenged by the youngsters in the first round and won in five sets. After the game, he was already quite emotional. Facing the 19-year-old again in the second round, Medvedev will not be unprepared. Looking at his team, there has been an active discussion in the game as well.
It can only be said that the sky of tennis is beginning to change.
The post-90s, especially the post-95s players, have been influenced too much by Djokovic's style of play. The post-00 players, especially the new generation of post-05 players, are mostly attack-oriented.While you're still planning where to land your next shot, your opponent has already changed the ball and started to fight hard.Zverev saw it very clearly at this point, he said that the current young players will never delay in the face of opportunities, and the winner will be determined by one board, and more than 90% of the rounds will be over.
Looking back at the draw in this district, all four seeded players are out.Unfortunately, Fonseca lost to Sonego in the second round. Fonseca was also physically exhausted and was forced to give up a set in the third set. In the end, it was Sonego who won and defeated Fonseca 6-7(6)/6-3/6-1/3-6/6-3 to advance to the third round.
Fonseca had played three qualifying rounds before, and with the addition of the previous one, it was 14 consecutive wins. For a young player who is only 18 years old, it is already very rare.
No. 17 seed TiafoeLost 2-3 to Hungarian Marousanne.No. 25 seed PoperinIn the first round, he was eliminated by France's Moutai. Who will make it to the quarterfinals in Zone 4/8?
Could it be this Lerner Money?
To add,Fonseca and Lernaqian were the champions and runners-up in last year's year-end finals.At the time, they were all players outside of the hundred. At present, Fonseca is ranked 98th and Lernaqian is ranked 96th. Just a month later (the New Generation Finals were held in December last year), the two champions and runners-up set off a "bloody storm" at the Australian Open!
The 2025 season is destined to be the year of the rise of the post-2005 generation!
