In the first round of Indian Wells' match between Kyrgios and Van der Shanchop, Kyrgios failed to finish the match and left the field with a sad face.
Kyrgios was in this match, without the hip-hop of yesteryear, without the excitement, without the angry or neurotic chatter......
In the first set, he won four games in a row when he was 1-4 down, and then lost the first set 6-7 (7) in the tie-break. It can be clearly seen that his forehand is not full play, and his serve is slightly lacking in his former style. Perhaps it was because the forehand was a little more powerful in the second half of the first set, and it was significantly more difficult to play the second set. In desperation, he withdrew from the competition.
There was a bit of pathos when he exited. At the moment of shaking hands, his eyes were so sincere.
remembered that Tim, who was known as the "Little Prince of Clay" before, was also unable to support the game because of a wrist injury, and finally had no choice but to retire. Could Kyrgios be repeating the mistakes of the past?
Kyrgios has a bit of the same style of play as Thiem, with a wrist flick. In particular, his serve and forehand require afterburner from the wrist to increase the speed and strength of the ball. So, wrist injuries are more fatal.
In fact, at this year's Australian Open, Kyrgios said, "Maybe this is my last Australian Open match......".
Prior to his comeback this year, Kyrgios was proud to say that doctors said that there was no more than a 15 per cent chance that he would be back to play with a wrist injury, but he did so and could get back on the field.
However, it is only when you get to the competition that the real test is made.
When he had to retire, Kjogaus barely held back tears.
Alas! It's a pity that the tournament side is "painstaking", as long as Kyrgios wins the first round, he can play Djokovic in the second round! It's going to be a big box office game! Kjogos' opponent, Van der Shanchop, entered as the lucky loser, almost the least competitive player in the draw.
However, Kyrgios vs. Van der Shanchop also had a high attendance rate. The first set lasted more than an hour, and Kyrgios showed off his small balls, crotch shots, underhand serves, and fantastic random balls. However, in all these moments, Kyrgios almost did not have the hip-hop style of his past, and it seemed that the pain was always there, and the worry was always there. Perhaps he knew he would have a hard time finishing the match, so he tried to show off his much-loved skills.
In fact, he already felt pain in his wrist during the practice two days before the competition. This game is the equivalent of playing with one and a half arms.
Kyrgios' game is popular not only because he is a "phenomenal player", but also because his ball is really good-looking. Apart from Kyrgios, the only players who can handle tennis to this extent are Federer and another Jamaican player Dustin, who retired with a serious back injury. Brown.
Who remembers this player?
Federer shows the art of tennis, while Kyrgios and Brown show another dimension of tennis. They're the kind of players that will be unforgettable.
Kyrgios is expected to return to the ring.
At the same time, we also expect the ATP to reproduce players with such tennis talent.
