Keep the clouds open and see the moon! Finally won! In the final of the Dubai Championship that ended last night and this morning, Beijing time, Tsitsipas, who had reached the final of the division eleven times but had a hard time finding a title, finally got rid of his demons and won the cup in straight sets against Aliassime, who won the first championship of the tour on him, ending the embarrassment of winning 11 plates in a row in the 500 match.
Looking back at Tsitsipas's journey, it was not easy to hit a wall eleven times before, so let's see which players he fell into.
2018 Barcelona
The Greek's best Grand Slam finish to date has been at the French Open, where he reached the final in 2021 and was runner-up, while Tsitsipas' first 500 final was also on clay. However, against Nadal, the king of clay, he did not get any bargains, and he paid the tuition.
2019 Dubai/Beijing
After beating two-time defending champion Federer at the Australian Open earlier this year, Tsitsipas truly rose to prominence. Who knew that the king of heaven would immediately achieve a counterattack in Dubai and achieve his personal 100 crowns.
In the face of Thiem, who was in full swing at the time of the Chinese Open, Tsitsipas did not have any upper hand, and achieved the opponent to win the only championship in the land of China.
2020 Dubai/Hamburg
Tsitsipas' win in Dubai this year has not brought him many fond memories in history, as he lost after reaching back-to-back finals, this time against another great man, Deyo.
In that year's Hamburg tournament, he defeated Tsitsipas at the French Open, but unexpectedly lost to Rublev, and while achieving the reputation of the opponent's 500 champion, he once again swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat.
2021 Acapulco/Barcelona
Tsitsipas didn't always lose to the giants in the 500 finals, losing to then-valet Zverev and rising star Alcaraz in both 500 finals that year.
2022 Rotterdam/Astana
That year's Rotterdam race was supposed to be the best moment for the Greeks to pierce the window paper, after all, the opponent was Aliassime, who had reached several tour finals but struggled to win the title, but this time Lady Luck still did not favor Tsitsipas. In the star-studded race to Astana, he was once again defeated by Deyo.
2023 Barcelona
2024 Barcelona
Tsitsipas' bad luck in the 500 races, especially in Barcelona, continues. It was reasonable to lose against Aka this time, after all, as he himself said, he could not find the flaws in his opponent. And last year's defeat to Ruud, the opponent won the 500 championship for the first time, and the only thing to blame is the fate.
Now, Tsitsipas, who has been freed from his demons, will return to the top 10 in the world rankings, can he take advantage of this to move up the stream?(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
