"Knock, good morning, who can advance to the semi-finals of men's singles?"
"Viewers, welcome back to 'The-AO-Show', we are live broadcasting for you from Melbourne Park, a panoramic view of the ninth match day of the 2015 Australian Open."
"Today's singles quarterfinals are about to take place, which also means that we are one step closer to the finals. Just now, we have analyzed the women's competition, and next, it should be the men's competition..."
"Australian Open Show" is an official panoramic live broadcast from the Australian Open. It starts at 10 o'clock in the morning and continues to broadcast until the end of all games.
Of course, the program is not responsible for live broadcast of the game, but a panoramic overview of the entire Melbourne Park, responsible for series matches and broadcasting game highlights.
After each focus match, the program will invite players to come to the show as guests. There is no limit to the winner or loser. They will talk about their feelings and highlights of the game. Simple interviews can allow fans to better understand their favorite players.
, and those games worth noting.
The most important thing is that the program often invites one or two professionals to come as guests to interpret the game from a professional perspective. The difference from the live broadcast commentary is that they are responsible for the overall analysis——
Before the game, predict the game and highlight the highlights of the game.
After the game, summarize the game and analyze the key points of victory or defeat.
While being professional enough, it also remains light and entertaining, running through the entire day of the game, relieving the nerves of fans watching tense games.
In the morning, what the program needs to do is to highlight the key games that deserve attention today and preview them.
At this point, the tournament has entered the quarterfinals, which also means that the men's singles and women's singles each have only four games. There is no need for a panoramic analysis, but a specific analysis of each game, because each game is a focus battle.
But this year, the analysis and predictions seem a bit... tasteless, especially in the men's singles, where the top eight lineups lack surprises.
Except for Federer's upset exit, the top eight seeds all returned to their positions smoothly and executed the draw perfectly, so the prediction became much simpler.
"Djokovic VS Berdych", obviously, Djokovic, who is far ahead in the match record with 17 wins and 2 losses, is more optimistic.
In "Wawrinka VS Kei Nishikori", Wawrinka won both games, but both of these games took place in 2012, before Kei Nishikori transformed, so the outcome was a bit suspense; however, Wawrinka
He has also completed his transformation, and as the defending champion, his prospects are also promising.
"Murray VS Karlovic", Murray maintained a strong record of winning five games and only losing two sets, showing his huge advantage against Karlovic.
In the above three games, suspense exists objectively. After all, there is always an unknown in competitive sports, but overall, the winning rate obviously favors one side——
There is a lack of suspense and surprise.
There is a very, very high chance that Djokovic, Wawrinka and Murray, the three old faces, will return to the top four, a familiar story with a familiar ending.
It's not that the fans have any objections to them, aside from the fact that the most popular Federer was eliminated, of course these old faces still have a huge fan base, and the peak showdown is still a welcome sight; it's just that it was slightly lower than expected, and
The situation is different from what you imagined.
Looking back at last year’s four Grand Slam quarter-finalists:
Wawrinka and Dimitrov at the Australian Open.
Raonic, Gulbis and Monfils at the French Open.
Cilic, Dimitrov, Wawrinka and Kyrgios at Wimbledon.
Gawain, Cilic, Kei Nishikori and Monfils at the US Open.
Fresh faces have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, among which Wawrinka and Gao Wen have reached the top. Everything indicates that the men's tennis world will usher in a new atmosphere.
It is against this background that the Australian Open debuts. From two weeks before the opening of the event, people have been looking forward to a different scene this year.
The results of it?
The top eight seeds all returned to their seats, and the only lost seat was occupied by a veteran like Karlovic. It must be said that this is like a bucket of cold water.
Of course, objectively speaking, Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori can still trigger widespread discussions. Their good form has continued from last year to this year, and they still shoulder the heavy responsibility of disrupting the order of men's tennis. But what about the new generation who have high hopes?
What about the "post-90s" generation who caused a youth storm at last year's French Open, Wimbledon and US Open?
From this perspective, among the top eight, there is only one matchup that can shoulder expectations and retain suspense:
"Nadal VS Gawain".
Judging from past match records, Nadal won the only match between his hands, but there was too little reference data to make a judgment.
What's more, the focus now should be, what is Nadal's own status? And what is Gawain's status?
For both sides, this game is a test.
It is foreseeable that this should be a game full of variables and suspense. On-the-spot performance should determine the outcome. Especially compared to the other three games, the "Big Four VS Rookie" showdown is even more eye-catching and condensed.
The ardent expectations of countless tennis fans around the world.
But the hosts and guests of the "Australian Open Show" don't seem to think so.
"Nadal is a typical competitive player. He needs to be tempered by games before his state can be slowly improved. As the tournament enters the second week, Nadal's state has been mobilized bit by bit, and he will face high-level competition again.
Wen, he should obviously be the favored one."
"Objectively speaking, there is still a question mark on Gao Wen's status. Everyone said that he advanced to the quarterfinals without losing a set, and he is obviously feeling hot at the moment; but it should be noted that Gao Wen has not faced anyone so far.
As for seed players, Nadal is the litmus test."
"Facing Gauvin again, Nadal is obviously the more favored side."
One-sided!
In the forward analysis of the "Australian Open Show", the host and guests overwhelmingly supported Nadal, and almost no one spoke for Gao Wen——
Although these are personal opinions and not representative, such an overwhelming advantage is somewhat different from the analysis of global media and professionals.
So, is this really objective? Is there really no interference from "private subjective emotions"?
Looking at the unquestionable expressions of the host and guests, a few words seemed to set the atmosphere and tone. This year's Australian Open semi-final match will most likely be another standard ending.
Should this be a cause for celebration? Or should it be a matter of regret?
"If the semi-final matches are 'Djokovic VS Wawrinka' or 'Nadal VS Murray', I can accept it."
"Yes, I also vote for it. Although the lack of Federer is a pity, another Swiss has filled the gap. I guess there is no problem."
"From the moment the draw was released, this matchup of the top four should have been expected by everyone, right?"
Unknowingly, watching the entire program converge irrevocably in one direction, the topic of "Big Four VS Challengers" was no longer important. Then, someone finally stepped forward:
