On clay courts and Roland Garros, never underestimate the existence of upsets. Accidents and variables always follow and play an important role.
The fourth game day, is no exception—
In the women's singles arena, Halep, the third seed and favorite to win the championship, was upset.
It was Croatian veteran Mirjana-Lucic who defeated Halep.
For the younger generation of fans, this may be a very unfamiliar name, which is comparable to Gawain who jumped out of a crack in the rock last year.
Lucic, in fact, turned into professional tennis almost at the same time as the Williams sisters. She was hailed as a "gifted girl" in her early years. She won her first WTA championship at the age of fifteen and partnered with Hingis at the age of sixteen. She reached the top of the Australian Open Women's Doubles Championship and remains the youngest Grand Slam champion so far.
At Wimbledon in 1999, Lucic became famous in the first battle, defeated Seles and broke into the semi-finals. In the end, he lost to Graf in three sets and was hailed as the star of hope.
However, what destroyed this talented girl was not her opponent nor her injury, but her father.
At that time, Lucic's game prize money was the only source of income for the whole family. As long as he lost the game, he would be severely beaten by his father.
For the young Lucic, her father's violence was a lingering shadow. Even though she took her mother and four younger siblings to the United States to escape from her father's clutches, she still couldn't get rid of herself when she returned to the game. In the end, he fell into a serious economic crisis.
She was even afraid to step onto the field at one point.
It wasn't until 2007 that Lucy Wizards officially returned to the game, but he was still ups and downs, and he was never able to get back to his former self.
But this talented girl did not bow to fate, she was still fighting and fighting.
Later, in the 2017 Australian Open, Lucic defeated Wang Qiang, the third seed A-Radwanska, the Greek genius Maria-Sakkari and the fifth seed to win the championship. Card - Pliskova (Karolina-Pliskova), advanced to the semi-finals.
After Wimbledon in 1999, after 18 years, he returned to the semi-finals of the Grand Slam.
Lucic has written a miracle, like a Cinderella fairy tale.
However, before the Australian Open returned to the spotlight in 2017, Lucic's rise had already been traced since 2014.
In 2014, Lucic first defeated Venus Williams in Quebec, and won the WTA singles championship again after 1998; then defeated Halep at the US Open to break into the fourth round.
In 2015, Lucic defeated Halep again and advanced to the third round of the French Open.
Lucic is proving with practical actions that anything is possible in competitive sports.
Perhaps, for young fans, Lucic is an unfamiliar name, but for senior tennis fans, it is a name that has experienced vicissitudes of life, and Lucic also uses his own hard work and experience to interpret the meaning of "veteran never dies" Profound meaning, successfully won the support of applause.
Lucic's defeat of Halep was unpopular, of course it was unpopular; but a little bit of a surprise, senior journalists and senior professional commentators applauded Lucic one after another, even though it was a pity to witness the new generation of Halep's exit, However, he still praised Lucic for another breakthrough.
Similarly, there was a cold wind blowing in the men's singles field, but compared with the women's singles, these upsets were disappointing.
Although the big seeds performed stably, Federer, Nadal, Gawain, Wawrinka, etc. all passed the test smoothly and continued to move towards the goal of joining forces; but the small seeds showed a lot of instability, and they broke out one after another. -Garos annual tradition of cold winds.
All out.
Among them, among Huaxia fans, Fognini's exit is undoubtedly a heavy blow—
Because Fognini's matchup in the third round was Gao Wen.
When the draw came out, the potential duel between Gao Wen and Fognini was a highlight.
Italian player Fognini is a well-known ATP vagabond, he acts uninhibited, does whatever he wants, and especially likes to complain and make trouble.
But unfortunately, Fognini has outstanding talent, his playing style is easy to use, and he is easy to lift. He has an innate ability to capture the hitting point. The reason why Nini has always occupied a place at the top of the ATP ranks.
There is no doubt that Fognini's abilities and talents are there, and he is a strong opponent that is difficult to deal with for any player.
Originally, people expected Fognini and Gao Wen to have a head-to-head confrontation in the third round to see if Fognini could bring something brand new, but Fognini suffered an upset.
Although Fognini's elimination was not a shocking upset, it was still a moderate upset in Gao Wen's division, which broke the balance of the draw.
Then, those black fans started shouting,
"Gao Wen was very lucky to sign. He faced young rookies in two consecutive rounds, and then finally faced a seeded player in the third round. As a result, Fognini dropped again."
"What kind of **** luck is it for the Chosen One to avoid Fognini?"
"Tch, I knew that Gao Wen was just lucky."
"With this draw, anyone can advance easily, right?"
"Are you sure there is no inside story in the draw of the French Open? Gao Wen's draw is too smooth, right?"
blah blah blah blah blah.
This year's clay court season, Gao Wen's overall performance has dropped slightly, and his prospect at Roland Garros has naturally added more uncertain unknown factors. Those fools firmly believe that Gao Wen's undefeated Grand Slam The record will be terminated soon, and it will be a carnival.
However-
Whether it is Tiafoe or Tim, for passer-by fans, it has no weight at all. After finally waiting for a Fognini with more possibilities, Fognini just fell again. Brainless black people Immediately, his mentality collapsed, and cynicism suddenly surged up.
But Gawain's fans don't think so. Is it really a good thing that Fognini is out?
Not necessarily~www.mtlnovel.com~ There are many twists and turns, and there are many mountains and mountains. In their view, Gao Wen avoided a hidden reef but encountered another obstacle, and it was still not easy to draw a table.
The player who upset Fognini was… Benoit-Paire.
The player born in 1989 can also be regarded as the sideline of the new generation of storms. He is currently ranked 71 in the world, but he has been on the rise, refreshing his career-high ranking every week.
It is not so much a master of fame as a fast-growing young player. Like Tiafoe and Tim, Palley can also be classified as a youth storm. From this perspective, Palley is indeed better than Forge. Nini is "easy" to deal with a lot, after all, this is not a long-established master—
Coupled with Gao Wen's unbeaten deterrence against the "post-90s" players, it seems difficult for Parley to make waves.
However, this is just the opinion of ordinary fans and people who eat melons. Fans who are really familiar with tennis know that Parley is a hidden mine.
