Djokovic "lost" to Zverev Jr., not by the German star, but retired due to injury in the middle of the game!
After the victory over Alcaraz, Deyo revealed the details of his injury and the fact that it was all due to drugs and willpower to finish the race. However, it was because of the injury that he won an epic duel, and the voice of Deyo being questioned and injured also arose.
Compared with some fans and netizens in the outside world who use the topic of acting or fraud to coax, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, what tennis celebrity McEnroe said in the commentary, in the eyes of Deyo's fans, is more like a steel needle deeply pierced in the heart of the Serbian king.
"It's not the first time we've seen this happen, so don't be fooled." As a tennis celebrity, McEnroe himself has a decisive influence in the tennis circle, coupled with his professionalism, so as soon as his words questioning Deyo's fraud came out, even if public opinion was not completely boiled, it was equivalent to throwing a boulder on the lake that had been slightly turbulent.
Deyo is obviously a fighting spirit, relying on incomparable tenacity and excellent willpower to persevere until the end of the victory, deserving of more praise, and now suddenly he is questioned like this, in the eyes of some people, injury in the game is Djokovic's usual trick, every time he says he is injured, then he can always win the victory, this time against Alcaraz, and the same is true in the previous duel with Nadal and others.
Therefore, before the match against Zverev Jr., there have always been two voices from the outside world: one is that if Deyo defeats the German star to advance to the final, it is estimated that the suspicion of fraud will be confirmed; The other is that only if Deyo loses, and there is also a painful expression of injury during the game, will make his doubters think that the giant is really injured.
Djokovic and Zverev Jr. fought fiercely in the first set, and it was not until the tie-break that Zverev Jr. had the last laugh.
This set took 81 minutes, which shows that both of them fought fiercely, but no one thought that behind the fierce confrontation, it also invisibly aggravated Deyo's injury.
After the set, Deyo announced his retirement due to injury, and the audience was stunned, and those who questioned his fraud or acting were also silent.
"I haven't played since the end of the match against Alcaraz, until an hour before today's game. I did everything possible to control my muscle tear. But towards the end of the first set, I started to feel more and more pain. Now for me, it's too hard. It didn't end as well as I wanted, but I tried my best. Deyo's words proved that he is undoubtedly a super fighter, and he still chose to play with an injury in this difficult situation, just because he didn't want to disappoint the audience who bought tickets, and hoped to give a good game, but he didn't expect this result to be the end.
In the past, some people said that Djokovic has always cared about the audience in his heart, not to please them, but to let them get more on the field, and this time through the paragraph after the retirement of Zverev Jr. due to injury, it can be regarded as confirmed from the side.
"The audience came to the scene, paid for the tickets and expected a big fight, but they didn't get it. From this point of view, I can understand. At least I try to understand them, I don't know if they understand me, or if they want to understand me. I know what's going on with my body, how I'm feeling and how much I've put into this tournament over the last 20 years. I chose to stop because I didn't want to go in the wrong direction. To be precise, Deyo did dislike some spectators by playing only one set from the last game, and when they sent the boos to the retired Serbian king, Deyo's post-match explanation also gave people a sense of helplessness.
In addition, Deyo also revealed another news that shocked everyone, and his retirement plans may really be on the agenda.
"I don't know. I need to see how the season goes, how I'm doing. When asked if he would return to the Australian Open next year, Deyo's words were also seen as the last giant might really be retiring, because the Serbian king had never said that when asked similar questions before, he was very sure that he would definitely return.
After Nadal retired from the Davis Cup last year, some people speculated at the time that he had lost Federer and Nadal, the two people who could inspire him the most, and it was estimated that Djokovic would not last long.
If one day Deyo really suddenly retires from filming, it is unknown how the people who questioned his acting or fraud before will feel in their hearts, but this time Deyo looked very lightly when talking about this topic, and did not seem to mind others pointing at him at all, "It is much easier to criticize and judge than to understand, this is the lesson I have learned from life." ”(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
