In District 3/8, there is no doubt that Murray is the favorite to qualify, and he deserves it.
As the champion of this year's US Open series, although the overall momentum cannot be compared with Djokovic, Toronto's performance in defeating Djokovic to end the losing streak is the best proof that Murray has returned to the top and once again proved himself
The strength and ability of a giant.
Compared with Kei Nishikori and Nadal, Murray is feeling hot right now.
Moreover, no one will forget that Murray's desire for the championship is burning.
From the clay court season to the grass court season to the summer hard court season, Murray's performance has always been at the top, but he has always fallen short of his last breath.
Especially the loss to Gowan at Wimbledon deeply stimulated Murray and made him learn from the experience. When he came to North America, his whole state and will were completely different.
What Murray desires is not only to prove himself, but also to win a Grand Slam championship——
Wawrinka and Gao Wen are coming fiercely, and both players are still competing for the championship. If you are not careful, they may overtake.
This is obviously what Murray does not want to see.
When the Challenger Alliance was inspired by the youth storm, one or two burst out with new energy. The four giants endured the fierce impact while constantly improving themselves.
Murray is no exception.
Now, Murray's fighting spirit is fully ignited.
Entering the fourth round, Murray faced South African cannon Anderson.
There is no doubt about Anderson's stability and strength. In this year's Queen's Cup competition, he defeated Gawain, demonstrating his excellent strength.
However, Murray had an absolute advantage against Anderson, winning five and losing one.
The only defeat occurred in the distant Rogers Cup in 2011. Murray was out of form throughout the game, and Anderson lost only four games and swept the victory.
In addition to the five meetings, Murray has maintained victory, including two games in Miami and the Queen's Cup this year. Murray has always performed well.
From all aspects, there is no doubt that Murray defeated Anderson.
However, competitive sports once again proved its charm.
"7:6(5)", "6:3", "6:7(2)", "7:6(0)".
Anderson had the last laugh, upset one of the favorites in four sets.
At this point, the chaos at the US Open has reached its true peak.
For two consecutive days, from Bouchard to Murray, the air in New York was filled with heat waves, astonishment and astonishment, absurdity and weirdness intertwined and collided.
Not only did Murray miss the quarterfinals at the US Open for the first time in five years, but he was also upset and eliminated from the second consecutive Grand Slam. Wimbledon failed to reach Federer, and Flushing failed to reach Djoko.
In front of Vic, players other than the giants lost to the game and stopped early.
Putting aside the poor performance of having only one break of serve in the whole match, the scoreless performance in the tie-break of the fourth set was really disappointing.
Accident, shocking surprise——
Before the start of the US Open, everyone was talking about Gao Wen. The rise of this super star is slowing down. Does it mean that the magical halo is slowly dissipating?
Unexpectedly, Gao Wen's prospects were still unknown, but Murray, who had shown a steady upward trend in the past year, would instead receive a slap in the face.
An overwhelming number of eyes gathered towards Murray, and then the old things were brought up again——
Maybe the era of giants should be about the "Big Three" instead of the "Big Four"?
After all, now that Wawrinka and Gao Wen have fully emerged, they can keep pace with Murray. They are not so much the "Big Six" as they are "3+3".
Controversy, doubts, and attacks have once again swept social networks, and this time the victim is Murray.
Actually...that's not fair.
Because Murray's overall performance is not bad, it is still the standard Murray data. The key point is that Anderson almost went crazy throughout the game. With divine help, especially his control of his serve, it is reminiscent of Cilic in last year's semifinals.
Murray's loss was nowhere near as bad as it looked.
However, does anyone care?
No.
Become a king or lose a bandit, everything is so simple and crude.
Therefore, in this ridiculously crazy US Open event, Murray has also become a new footnote, taking away all the grace of Kei Nishikori and Nadal.
If Bouchard hadn't been "competing for beauty", I'm afraid Murray would have become a sieve by now.
And Anderson finally had an important breakthrough.
In fact, in this year's Wimbledon match between Anderson and Djokovic, he almost dethroned the world's number one, winning the double tie-break and leading "2:0", but Djokovic
Qi still stood firm and came back in the final set at "7:5", but Anderson lost.
Arriving in Flushing, Anderson finally seized the opportunity.
In the last round, Anderson faced the younger, stronger and more violent Thiem, and he played his career masterpieces, "6:3", "7:6(3)", "7:6(3)", and very
A convincing performance defeated Thiem in straight sets and won the opportunity to talk to Murray.
Then, Anderson completely defeated Murray with his smooth attack. His perfect service performance was from the first point to the last point, fully taking advantage of Flushing's fast and hard courts, and once again won the key battle.
, reaching the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career.
Anderson, who was born in 1986, is the same age as Murray and Djokovic. It was not until this year that he truly completed his final transformation on the Grand Slam stage. He can be described as a late bloomer. The "Challenger League" has also continued its outstanding performance this year and continues to play in the Grand Slam.
Bringing more surprises to the Grand Slam arena.
The promotion path of Tim first and then Murray also proves Anderson's excellence.
Wild!
This year's US Open is really too wild. From the beginning of the WTA to the end of the ATP, both singles and doubles have been in a war situation, and almost no one can be an exception.
Men's singles, men's doubles, women's singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles, the top ten seeds and even the top five seeds all suffered upsets, and not just one or two upsets, but upsets everywhere, plus injuries on and off the court.
Sickness and countless accidents——
Wild indeed.
Of course, it is precisely in this situation that there is so much confusion about who can emerge from the chaos to become the champion, which makes the fans even more excited.
Maybe, there is a surprise?
Last year, Gao Wen and Cilic both caused a shocking upset in the semi-finals and jointly entered the final. What about this year?
Of course, Djokovic and Federer are still in the draw. It is too early to tell. The point is that this year's various patterns have once again awakened the memories of last year. Therefore, after Wimbledon joined forces to defend the reputation of the giants, this
Will he be able to continue his rule in Flushing?
Suspense, the wind rises.
Precisely because of the accident, and precisely because of the chaos, the suspense of the event has been rising steadily, and naturally more and more people have attracted attention, making it even more exciting.
Amidst the commotion, all the top eight men's singles were decided. The eight immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. Those who can advance to the top eight will naturally have a lot of experiences.
Eight players, eight story lines, wrote their experiences in the last Grand Slam of the year in different ways, just like a wonderful movie.
And this movie has only now entered the climax of the second act.
