2065438+20081On the evening of October 28th, 37-year-old Swiss roger federer witnessed the birth of a "Superman", defeating Siric's defending Australian Open men's singles champion 3-2. What's more, the number of Grand Slam singles champions in Federer's career has reached a milestone of "20". This is a number beyond human experience and imagination, and "Superman" Federer got it.
At the award ceremony, Fei Tianwang, who was sobbing, said, "I didn't cry, you cried ... you made me nervous, you put me into training, you filled the whole stadium, thank you."
This is Federer's night. A record 30th Grand Slam final, a record 7th Australian Open final and a record 20th Grand Slam trophy. Goats (the most cattle in history) are no longer controversial. After all, this achievement is not only unprecedented, but may never be seen again.
The roof of rod laver Stadium is closed, although the official explanation of the Australian Open is that the outdoor temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius, which is too hot. However, no matter how hot the weather is this year, there is no precedent, including the women's singles final on Saturday. With the ceiling closed, the Australian Open final became Federer's best indoor hard court. You can say that the Australian Open is partial to Federer, but the15,000 spectators at Rodlaval Stadium, except a few people in the Siric box, are cheering for Federer. This is not the first time, nor is it just in Melbourne. Who let him be Federer?
However, Federer had to beat the game point by point. Unexpectedly, in 2008, Federer, who won all eight games 1 lost to his opponent, once again faced Siric, but still took risks. 6:2, 6:7, 6:3, 3:6, 6: 1, the game was ups and downs. Although it was not as good as last year's Australian Open final against Nadal, Federer didn't dare to say the direction of the game until 3:0 in the fifth set. In this game, Federer and Siric scored lower than Federer in ACE ball, first serve and second serve, and double fault scored more, so it is not surprising that they lost the game.
Before the 20 18 Australian Open, Federer sent a request to show his superhero image to130,000 fans on his Twitter. Many fans regard Federer PS as Superman.
Yes, in the field of sports, especially in men's tennis in the 2 1 century, it's hard to imagine a man like Federer, whose body can stand the test of time, his will can stand the top game of 15, and his playing style can stand the challenge of several generations of players. The 37-year-old "old age" and the prediction of "going downhill" that appeared seven years ago are simply not seen in him. If so, it was before 20 17. Since winning the Australian Open last year, Federer has really entered the second spring of his career as everyone said.
1998 entered professional tennis, and Federer didn't win his first grand slam until 2003. However, his efficiency is amazing. In 2004, 2006 and 2007, he won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open three times. At that time, Federer really occupied "the right place at the right time"-Agassi and other veterans have reached the end of their careers, while the "post-80 s" Hewitt, Roddick, Safin and even Ferrero are either lacking in talent or personality, and no player is a king, let alone a grand slam with Federer. From 2005 to 2007, Nadal won the French Open for three consecutive years, but the 20-year-old Nadal is still learning how to beat Federer on the grass, especially on the hard court.
From 2008 to 20 16, Federer was hit by Nadal, Deyo and Murray in turn. During these nine years, he always won only one Australian Open champion, and the squeeze of the "post-85 s" almost forced Federer to retire sadly. However, in 20 17, 30-year-old Deyo and Murray also suffered serious injuries. 15 Federer, who pays attention to health, wisely gave up the clay court season and won two Grand Slam trophies, the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
In this year's Australian Open, Federer's grouping is not dominant: in his 1/4 area, there are not only opponents like Deyo, but also Goffin and Luo, who successfully attacked Federer in the game when he was at his best. However, none of the expected games appeared. Goffin, Delporte, Zvilev and others left early in the first week. Deyo, Hyeon Chung and Nadal who attacked Deyo all lost to injuries, and Murray missed the whole Australian Open because of injuries. So it seems that Federer didn't sweat much in the final. Blame the opponent for not giving strength? Young people after 90 s and 95 s are not as good as Federer? It can only be said that Federer is a superman because he has a long standby time.
