Yesterday, Beijing time, the Australian Open men's and women's singles quarterfinals were played four first. As a result, the exits of the big seeds were once again surprisingly consistent, with the pre-match favourites of Acre and Gauff being eliminated.

Looking back at the third, fourth, and fifth seeds of the Australian Open, it was found that the synchronization rate of men's singles and women's singles was highly uniform.

First of all, the men's and women's singles fifth seeds Dmitry Medvedev and Zheng Qinwen both stopped in the second round. Interestingly, both of them happened to be runners-up in last year's competition.

Looking back at the situation of the two before the game, one was praised at the national level one after another, and with the feat of winning gold in the Olympics last year, he continued to endorse. The other is just a second child, which can be said to be "people are in good spirits when they are happy". It stands to reason that the performance of the two is not comparable to last year, but it should be a matter of course to reach a deeper round. But they have not been able to adjust their state in place, and they have stumbled all the way.

Zheng Qinwen, who was responsible for the opening match of the center court, lost the first game, and Mr. Mei staged a five-set battle. The two lost in the second round, and it seems that there is an accident of an upset, but in fact, there are traces to follow.

The second match was the men's and women's singles fourth seeds Fritz and Paulini, both of whom reached the third round.

It was Fritz's first appearance as a top-four seed in a Grand Slam, and last year he had the best season of his career so far, finishing runners-up at the US Open and year-end respectively. Paulini also won two second prizes in the competition. It is worth mentioning that the two of them were eliminated by the husband and wife team Monfils and Svitolina.

The Frenchman's good form in the warm-up tournament before the Australian Open continued to Melbourne Park, and he did not show any physical disadvantage in terms of age against the American brother, and finally reached the last 16 of a Grand Slam for the first time in many years. His wife, Svitolina, who was cheering him in the stands, was also happy to make the cut.

Men's and women's singles third seeds Alcaraz and Gauff both exited in the quarter-finals.

One is the champion of last year's year-end finals, and the other is Favinghetti last year, who wants to challenge for the youngest Grand Slam in history. Both are regarded as the best candidates for the queen of the ball, and their form at the Australian Open has remained okay.

However, Arca was supposed to be in better shape with a test against Draper, but his opponent withdrew before he could finish the fight. In addition, Arca also lacked sufficient adjustment strategy in the face of the tournament's ten-time champion Deyo, and it was reasonable that he was ultimately defeated.

In contrast, Gauff's exit was a real upset, and the inconsistent performance of the tournament was the biggest factor restricting him from joining Sabalenka and Swiatek to become the Big Three.

In the semi-finals, second seeds Swiatek and Zverev will face tough opponents. Can a similar spell be played out again? Stay tuned!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
