Many tennis industry professionals and fans are very nostalgic for the tennis event of 10 years ago. In fact, it is nothing more than nostalgia for the tennis world in the heyday of the Big Four. Looking back on the wonderful games of that period, I may still have a feeling of excitement.
But was tennis stronger a decade ago, or is it more competitive today? This is not a very easy question to answer. Everyone has their own reasoning, which is nothing more than the feeling of watching the game.
For example, some people say that there is only one exciting matchup in this year's Australian Open, and that is the quarter-final between Djokovic and Alcaraz. The rest of the matches were uneventful, and even the final was so calm that there was no wave.
This is also true. If you compare it to the duel between the Big Four a decade ago, it is really difficult to find a match for the men's competition today.
But how do you put the feeling stuff on the data? After thinking about it, I haven't come up with a better way to analyze data yet.
Here's a look at the top 16 seeds at the 2015 Australian Open with the 17 seeds at this year's Australian Open. You can reminisce and find out how you feel.
The No. 1-4 seed must have been stronger in 2015, right? There should be no doubt about this. Of course, as for whether Sinner can achieve achievements comparable to the Big Four in the future, it remains to be seen in the future.
How does No.5 seed Kei Nishikori compare to Medvedev? If you look at the record, it must be Medvedev who is much stronger, both in terms of the number of champions and the rank, far more than Kei Nishikori. But considering the dominance of the Big Four in the tennis world, it's hard to say. This batch of post-85 players, even the Masters championship is "hard to find"! The championship is almost all in the hands of Fernardmu.
The No. 6 seed must have been stronger than Ruud at the time.
The No. 7 seed, who was stronger at that time Berdych compared to Djokovic now? I can't really say it. What do you think?
Compared with De Minaur, the No. 8 seed Raonic feels that Raonic is stronger.
No. 9-16 seeds, you can compare them one by one.
Interestingly, Dimitrov was the No. 10 seed at the Australian Open ten years ago, and ten years later, he is still the No. 10 seed.
In the TOP16 in 2015, ten years later, the players who are still playing are:
Djokovic, Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori, Dimitrov.
