After the Indian Wells men's and women's singles top 16 lineups came out, they also pushed "who said that women are inferior to men" into reality.

In many previous men's and women's joint competitions, the women's singles has been described by many people as water, because the performance of the big-seeded players is not stable enough, and they are always upset in advance, and they are completely compared by the stable men's singles big-seeded players.

This time, however, Indian Wells was the exception, with the consistent performance of the top eight seeds in the women's singles giving them a strong edge over the top seeds in the men's singles.

Through the list of men's and women's singles top 16, it was found that only four of the top eight seeds in men's singles remained: No. 2 seed Alcaraz, No. 3 seed Fritz, No. 5 seed Medvedev and No. 8 seed Tsitsipas. It is a shame that top seed Zverev Jr., No. 4 seed Ruud, No. 6 seed Deyo and No. 7 seed Rublev have disappeared from the draw early.

The women's singles side is a different situation, it is simply a peaceful scene! Top seed Sabalenka, No. 2 seed Swiatek, No. 3 seed Gauff, No. 4 seed Pegula, No. 5 seed Case, No. 6 seed Paulini, No. 7 seed Rybakina and No. 8 seed Zheng Qinwen all made it to the round of 16 in a resounding consistency.

Before the women's singles top 16 list came out, the most suspenseful person was the Italian girl Bolini.

The Italian girl was competing with Christian for a place in the round of 16, and after the two had tied in the first two sets, many were worried that the No. 6 seed would not be able to hold on and become the first girl to be left behind from the top eight seeds.

Thankfully, under tremendous pressure, Paulini won the tournament and became the last girl to reach the last 16 of the Women's Singles while defending the glory of the big seed.

"Fortunately, the Italian small steel cannon won in the end, otherwise if he was upset after 2 hours and 23 minutes of hard fighting, he would see that the other top eight seeded sisters were still there, but he was the only one who fell behind, and he was really a little unbearable in terms of face." For Paulini's desperate survival, some fans and netizens also praised the Italian girl's performance of not dropping the chain and saving face for herself and the top eight seeds at a critical moment.

To be precise, in the past, before the round of 16 was decided, it was really rare for the men's singles big seeds, especially the top eight seeds, to be eliminated early like Indian Wells this time. This is a strong contrast with the collective advancement of the top eight seeds in women's singles, and many people also sigh helplessly that when the era of the Big Three comes to an end, everything is possible, "The stable man who was praised in the past seems to be slowly losing absolute trust in the men's and women's competitions." ”

Why do many people miss the era of giants so much? Because of the stability of the men's singles big seed players at that time, most of the time they could beat the women's singles big seeds. In particular, the Big Four, led by Federer, Djokovic, Nadal and Murray, were always able to keep pace in major competitions, and rarely fell behind early.

However, Zverev, who is the top seed this year, suffered a first-round tour in his debut, which can really be called the biggest embarrassment for the men's singles big seed players.

Originally, against the little-known Grikospor, almost everyone thought that this was a good sign from God to the hands of the German star, but after a hard-fought three-set battle, Zverev Jr. insisted on turning the upper and lower signs in his hands into lower and lower signs.

It is not that the top seed must not lose, but before coming to Indian Wells, he openly stated that he wanted to become the world No. 1 and firmly believed that he would win a Grand Slam title in the future after adjustments.

Not long after the high-profile slogan was shouted, it was knocked out by a nobody, how embarrassing is this handwriting? Some fans and netizens bluntly said, "It's indescribable." ”

In addition, Zverev Jr., who played the Indian Wells Masters as the top seed after Sinner's ban, was once thought to be expected to narrow the gap between him and the world No. 1 and lay the foundation for the subsequent impact on the throne or the realization of his dream.

Deyo's early exit made everyone uneasy, both regretful and distressed.

The Serbian king suffered a round of tours, and everyone was really shocked at first. In the eyes of many, even if Djokovic's current form cannot be compared to his prime, it is really difficult for anyone to upset him on his tour debut, after all, he is a top eight seeded player and does not need to fight with high-ranked players in advance, but the unexpected still came.

"I've obviously been in a different situation in the last few years, I've been trying to get to the level I'm ideal, occasionally I'll play a couple of good fights, but most of the time it's really a challenge and it's a struggle for me. You have to go through it and try to deal with it in the best way possible. Djokovic's first round is more acceptable than Zverev Jr., in addition to the fact that he is now 37 years old, and his current form is indeed unstable, and the Serbian king's words after the game faintly reveal a sense of disappointment that the veteran has been frustrated, but there is nothing to be done. The only regret for everyone is that he missed another chance to hit the 100 championships.

For Zverev Jr. and Djokov to become the most uncomfortable men's singles top eight seeded players, some people joked that the nine-member expert group of "Tennis" magazine should be blamed, because when they predicted this event, they had already regarded Zverev Jr. and Deyo as the men's singles players who were upset, and finally the prediction came true, "It's all the expert group's fault, if you don't say it, it may not be okay!" ”(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
