The 2015 ATP Year-End Finals continues to ignite the flames of war at the O2 Arena in London, and exciting duels are still taking place.
On the fifth match day, the final round of group matches slowly kicked off.
The second game, "Federer VS Ferrer".
Although this game has nothing to do with the qualifications, the situation of the semi-finals, etc., the two players still worked hard and dedicated a wonderful match, which was even more exciting than the previous two rounds.
Federer defeated Ferrer in three sets, won all the group matches, and qualified first.
Ferrer's 2015 ended sadly with three consecutive defeats in the group stage, but in fact, there was hope in this game.
Facing Federer, who had already qualified early, Ferrer won the second set with an unparalleled performance, breaking Federer's golden record of not losing a set in London this year and once again showing his hard work as a "stable man".
Maybe Ferrer will never become the top player in the ATP, but he is still an indispensable sight in the ATP. When the game is over, he can turn around and leave London with his head held high, struggling with this injury.
The season comes to an end.
Of course, the focus of the topic is still Federer——
The King of Switzerland defended his crown in his own way amidst the chaos and controversy. He had already locked in the third place in the world at the end of the year before the year-end finals. He is still a well-deserved giant.
So, here comes the problem.
Federer, who ended Djokovic's three-year unbeaten streak in London, is once again at the peak of his confidence. Who can stop Federer from reaching the top again at the O2 Arena?
Gawain, is that okay?
Or is it old rival Nadal?
The expectations have been raised early. No matter who Federer will face off in the semifinals, the media and fans can already celebrate in advance.
Game 4, "Djokovic VS Berdych".
No one expected that Djokovic would have to fight to qualify, and no one expected that Berdych would become the gatekeeper to control the suspense.
This game is undoubtedly scheduled to be the last one of the day. It is a major show. The expectations are even higher than tomorrow's "Gawain VS Nadal"——
After all, Gao Wen and Nadal are good friends. There is no smell of gunpowder before the game, and the collision between the two has no bearing on qualifying. How can it compare to today's life-and-death battle?
Facts have also proved that the expectation is worth it.
Berdych's performance far exceeded expectations.
In fact, Berdych was in poor condition and was like this throughout the second half of the season. He kept adjusting and persisting but was never able to get back on the right track; but Berdych has also been on the tour for many years, and the significance of the year-end finals is not only
It’s the end of this year and the preparation for next year.
Therefore, Berdych's mentality has been adjusted very well and he has been working hard.
What's more, there is still hope of qualifying for this game!
Even though his opponent was Djokovic, Berdych still showed his enthusiasm and played his most exciting and high-level game in the entire second half of the season.
From the first point to the last point, actual actions prove that Berdych is indeed one of the top and best players outside the giants.
However……
"Beyond the giants" means outside the giants. Standing in front of the four giants, Berdych has always been short of breath. Even though the Challenger League is now in full swing, Berdych's character is not that aggressive, strong and bloody.
Type, after all, is still bound by its own shackles.
After all, in Berdych's eyes, he saw Djokovic standing on the other side of the net. Djokovic had defeated him seven times in a row and had only won twice in twenty-one meetings in his career.
Djokovic who has never won on a hard court in his career.
That is a high mountain and an iron wall.
What's more, Djokovic also showed his determination to win, which was firm, strong and hot enough, with high morale, starting from the first point——
Arriving in London and setting foot on the O2 Arena, Djokovic's goal has not changed:
champion.
Not only to defend the number one spot in the world at the end of the year, but also to rediscover oneself in the fierce competition.
Doesn’t Djokovic know about those attacks and ridicules on social networks?
No, he saw it all, he knew all the doubts, complaints, and ridicules.
Although he reached the finals of all the four Grand Slams throughout the year, he lost to Gawain twice and Wawrinka once, which really hit Djokovic hard.
Despite his outstanding performance in the clay court season and the grass season, this year's world ranking points surpassed last year's. Even if Gao Wen chased after him, he still couldn't catch up. Djokovic's world ranking points lead not only did not shrink but also expanded. However, facing Gao Wen
Wen still wins less and loses more.
It is precisely because of this that the attacks of those brainless gangsters never stop.
Gawain has Gawain's dilemma, and Djokovic also has Djokovic's dilemma. Even Federer and Nadal are the same in the Internet age. Without exception, they are chased and intercepted by brainless sunspots. Therefore, everyone has their own dilemma.
own war.
Djokovic's fighting spirit and motivation are completely high, especially after defeating Federer in two sets in the last game, he has been holding his breath in his chest.
He came prepared.
then--
Mars hits Earth.
Indeed, Berdych performed well and played his best game in the second half of the season; but at the same time, Djokovic also improved his condition and played his best game in London.
Confrontation will push the excitement of the game to a whole new level.
"6:3", "7:5".
Djokovic had the last laugh——
In fact, the game was very intense and very anxious. Both sets were just one break advantage. The whole match lasted a full 97 minutes. It was second only to the two three-set matches in which Ferrer participated and became the year-end overall match.
The final took the third game, and the intensity was evident.
Berdych lost the game but earned respect and, like Ferrer, could leave London with his head held high.
A little insight into the works:
The Challenger League is not depressed. They are still competing in their own way. The 2016 season is worth looking forward to.
Despite this, Djokovic successfully defended his honor——
Two wins and one loss, second place in the group qualified.
This means that all the media's worries and predictions have not happened. Djokovic has not been eliminated from the group. He has still found his form and joined hands with Federer to qualify from the group. The battle for the world's number one at the end of the year will continue, and the two
The protagonists also remain on the stage.
All the events in the Stan-Smith group have come to an end, and now it is the turn of the Ilye-Nastase group:
The suspense has long since disappeared, but the excitement is still not to be missed.
At least, there is a key question here: what is the situation like in the semi-finals?
Who plays Federer, who plays Djokovic?
Different matchup situations have a direct impact on the competition for the number one spot in the world at the end of the year. For this reason alone, you should not miss the Ilye-Nastase match.
