Acapulco has another "riotous operation", and the top seven seeds have all stopped in the quarterfinals!

The Acapulco and Dubai tournaments were in full swing, but many of the top seeds missed out. In Dubai, top seed and former tournament champion Dmitry Medvedev also lost to McTown after defending champion Ember was eliminated in the previous round. Dutchman Grickospor reached the semi-finals of the Tour for the first time this season.


And the Acapulco tournament is full of health reasons for the players. Before the start of the race, Fritz announced that he would retire from the competition due to unsatisfactory physical condition. The top seven seeds were all wiped out before reaching the quarterfinals. Let's see:



TOP SEED ZVEREV 0-2 LERNER-MONEY (NO.83)


The opponent put in another impressive performance after this year's Australian Open, allowing the top seed to return home early. The German Mo said that catching up with Sinner, who was banned for three months, is probably an urgent matter to stop the decline.


No.2 seed Ruud withdraws before the tournament (local wild card reaches quarterfinals for the first time)

No.3 seed Paul withdraws before the tournament (Geelong advances to quarterfinals)

No. 4 seed Rune 0-3 Brandon Nakashima retired

Fifth seed Shelton lost 6-7, 3-6 to Goffin

Sixth seed Musetti retired before the first round


Of the five, except for Shelton, who lost at the competitive level, Musetti withdrew due to a calf injury before the game, and the other three all withdrew due to gastrointestinal discomfort, so that fans wondered if there was collective food poisoning.



No.7 seed Tiafoe 1-2 Davidovich Fokina


The two American opponents who lost also won the runner-up in the Masters, and they have a certain amount of strength, so it is reasonable to lose.


With No. 8 seed Mahachi and No. 9 seed Shapovalov still in the quarter-finals, the star level is a bit bleak.


How rare is this? Looking back at the 21st century, there have only been four times when the No. 7 seeds have missed the quarterfinals before the 500 and 1000 tournaments. The end result?



2003 Hamburg 1000


Top seed Hewitt and No.3 seed Federer all exited early, while No.8 seed Nalbandian made it to the semi-finals, with the Argentine the 12th-seeded Coria winning the title.


2008 Rotterdam 500


Top seed Nadal, No. 7 seed Murray and others of the top eight seeds missed out on the quarterfinals, and the title was the little-known Rodela Rodela . This is also a lesser-known name on the roster of all-time champions of the tournament.


2019 Rio about 500


The top eight seeds, including top seed Thiem, who was then known as the little prince of clay, missed out on the quarter-finals, and the eventual winner was Djere, who was also the most important title of his career so far.



It is believed that this year's Acapulco will be the target of criticism from the players, just look at the Danish bastard Rune's post-match complaints. He posted on social media that he said that he had eaten the wrong thing and caused food poisoning, and also expressed his anger and disappointment. Who will win the eventual winner? Will there still be people who quit the race? It's also an unsolved case!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
