Keys shattered Saba's dream of three consecutive titles to win his first Grand Slam title, squeezing Zheng Qinwen out of the world No. 7

After beating Sabalenka in three sets, Keys finally swept away all doubts from the outside world, and it was not luck to reach the top of the Australian Open.


In the semi-finals against Swiatek, after winning the match point and tie-break to get the final ticket, many people said that Keys had an element of luck in reaching the final, and if Swiatek hadn't had psychological fluctuations at the critical moment, what did this final place have to do with her.


Sabalenka defeated her best friend Badosa to reach the final, and when commenting on Sabalenka's performance after the game, Badosa bluntly said, "If she can keep playing like this, I think we can award her the championship trophy in advance." ”


Badosa's high rating, as well as four wins in five times against Case, and the last three consecutive wins, also made the bookmaker directly optimistic about Sabalenka to win the title, and offered 1 to 1.28 against the Belarusian girl, beating Case's 1 to 3.75.



Therefore, many people in the outside world are looking forward to the first time that after the match between Keith and Sabalenka, they will send their blessings to the Belarusian girl as soon as possible, becoming the first female player to win three consecutive titles at the Australian Open since the new century.


"It's a Grand Slam and no matter how many titles you've won before, you'll always want to lift that beautiful trophy again, and I'm still hungry for it." Sabalenka is also full of confidence in herself and is ready to play the final game.


Case's was not outdone when talking about the big fight to decide who can lift the trophy, "There will be a lot of difficult moments in the game, there will be a lot of pressure, but instead of running away, it is better to accept this reality and work hard in this situation, which is what I try to improve." ”



Sabalenka's ambition, as well as Keys claiming to be an impactor, also made this focus duel attract much attention, and even some fans and netizens laughed, "I really want to see when the emperor and Miss Key are finished, and in the end, the odds of the bookmaker have the last laugh, or make a miracle." ”


I don't know if it was looked down on in advance, which made Keys feel that he had nothing to lose, and from the first set of the game, he played quite calmly, and once caused great trouble for Sabalenka, and came to the commanding height of the set 5-1 in the first set, giving Sabalenka a dismount.


Although the Belarusian girl fought back, the final set was won by Keith 6-3, completely putting all the pressure on Sabalenka, making everyone want to see what kind of performance they could show in the second set, whether to keep the suspense of the game in the deciding set, or whether Keith would directly take away the championship in two sets and create an upset again.



In the crucial second-set match, Sabalenka was indeed worthy of being a two-time Australian Open champion under tremendous pressure, and after fighting back, she broke Keys twice to win back 6-2. After tying the big score, he directly left the biggest suspense to the deciding set, so that the fans and netizens in the live broadcast room shouted that they had prepared a quick-acting heart-saving pill in advance, because Sabalenka did not show the absolute strength to crush Case, and the performance of the American star was not as vulnerable as predicted before the game, and there was even the possibility of an upset.


The deciding set was arguably the most stalemate of the match, with both sides holding their serve to the death in the first 11 games, and no one was the first to break. Just when everyone thought that Case's second tie-break was coming, he didn't expect Sabalenka to fail to withstand the pressure at the most critical moment, and was forced out of two match points by Case, and successfully seized the opportunity on the second match point, completely subverting the bookmaker's odds and all kinds of disfavor from the outside world, and won the final championship.



To be precise, Keys was able to defeat Sabalenka, really relying on absolute hard power, and was able to defeat Sabalenka, Swiatek and Rybakina at this year's Australian Open, the three women's tennis giants and finally won the championship, this Australian Open championship is really full of gold.


The moment he won, the look on his face seemed a little hard to believe that he had won the Australian Open, and it was only after a little relaxation that he smiled happily and then cried tears of joy and hugged the team to celebrate.


After the match, someone bluntly said that Keys is a wild lily born for the Australian Open, and after ten years, this wild lily finally bloomed, and finally bloomed the most beautiful flower in Melbourne Park, "Although this day is late, congratulations!" ”



The Australian Open is also considered a blessed place for Case, and in 2015, he reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career at Melbourne Park, but unfortunately he met Queen Serena Williams at that time, and his progress was blocked. Since then, although he finally reached the Grand Slam final at the 2017 US Open, he won the runner-up this time, which made Keys enter the ups and downs of his career.


Case's victory also dashed Sabalenka's dream of winning three consecutive Australian Open titles, leaving her out of the record set by Hingis at Melbourne Park last century. Of course, the American star also showed the outside world how to defeat the queen of hard courts through the fight against Sabalenka, that is, stability and violence against violence.



In addition, with the 2000 championship points gained, Case will replace Zheng Qinwen in the world ranking next week, squeezing China's first sister to the eighth place in the world, which also means that Zheng Qinwen will have to play well on the tour after the Australian Open if he wants to maintain his top 10 ranking.(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
