Match point

On April 2015th, the [-] ATP Clay Court Masters, the first stop, came to a successful conclusion in Monte Carlo, and the singles and doubles champions were announced one after another——

First, the doubles arena.

The combination of Gao Wen and Dimitrov, after defeating four high-ranking seeded players in a row, reached the top of the Masters doubles championship for the first time in their careers. This is the first experience for both players. Unexpected before the game.

But when you think about it, it's not that surprising.

Like singles, men's doubles also ushered in the impact of the new generation:
On the one hand, the veterans of the doubles arena have longer vitality, so that the impact of the new generation is not so fierce and comprehensive; but on the other hand, the "post-90s" generation has grown in an all-round way. Compared with the suppression of the Big Four in singles, the doubles arena On the contrary, it is easy to achieve results.

From the Australian Open, this turbulent storm has also quietly begun. The combination of Italy's Burelli and Fognini upset the men's doubles championship.

Then in the North American season, the combination of Sock and Pospisil reached the finals for two consecutive rounds, and the world ranking has also entered the top five.

Then came Monte Carlo, the combination of Gao Wen and Dimitrov won the championship, which can also be seen as a continuation of the turmoil in the men's doubles.

"Shock and change", obviously, this will also be the key word in the men's doubles field in 2015, and the Bryan brothers will face all-round challenges.

Second, the singles arena.

Some are similar, but some are different. From the seats in the top four, it can be seen that the Mesozoic has risen in an all-round way. After feeling the impact from the new generation, the Mesozoic who are still in their prime have also begun to work hard and play "" Another chapter of the main theme of Big Four VS Challenger.

In the semi-finals, Djokovic defeated his old rival Nadal in straight sets to advance to the final, and once again started his clay-court season journey to hit the French Open championship for the third consecutive year.

At the same time, Ferrer also defeated the hot-handed Monfils in two straight sets. Monfils, who defeated two strong opponents in a row, seemed to have insufficient stamina, and regrettably missed the third Masters final of his career. It was Ferrer's eighth career Masters final opportunity.

Following the 2012 Paris Masters, Ferrer will try to hit his second Masters trophy.

The final, very intense——

Before the game, it was generally believed that Djokovic would overtake Ferrer to win the championship, but this was not the case. Ferrer showed a top competitive state, proving that it was not accidental that he defeated Gawain and Monfils consecutively. Even in the face of Djokovic, who has suffered an eight-game losing streak, his fighting spirit is high.

Few people have noticed that Ferrer once had five victories against Djokovic. Although most of these victories came before 2011, that is, before Djokovic matured, it is worth noting yes--

In 2011, Djokovic won three Grand Slam titles and was reborn. However, on the stage of the year-end finals, Ferrer swept Djokovic in straight sets in the group stage and won his first match against the King of Serbia. Five and final wins, showing what he is capable of.

This time, it was the same, the competition between the two sides was very fierce, not only the score was entangled, but also the scene was anxious, and the game was not able to be opened until the match point came out——

“7：5”、“4：6”、“6：3”。

All three sets were a break lead, and in the end, Djokovic had the last laugh and won the Monte Carlo Masters.

Ferrer has tried his best to make Djokovic burst out with all his energy, but he still failed to complete the comeback.

Standard ending.

After three consecutive Masters trophies, the final champion of Monte Carlo belongs to the Big Four again, a very familiar picture.

Moreover, the world ranking is also the same -

On April [-]th, Monday, the latest issue of the ATP World Rankings was released.

Everything, as expected, Gao Wen's world ranking once again rose to a higher level, replacing Federer as the new world No. [-], and the times changed.

On the one hand, people are amazed that in July last year, Gao Wen had no world ranking, and in the blink of an eye this April, he had already broken the blockade of giants.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Gao Wen was only 19 years and six months old. He also surpassed Sampras and became the sixth youngest player in history to rank second in the world. Gassi, Bjorn Borg, Wieland and Nadal, the miracle continues.

Professional tennis has indeed opened a new page.

On the other hand, people also realize that the battle for "world number one" has already begun, and Gao Wen has a chance, but the Big Four will not give it up.

An intuitive evidence is that this week's world rankings, the gap between Djokovic and Gao Wen has not only not narrowed, but has also widened.

Gao Wen, who stopped in the quarterfinals in Monte Carlo this week, earned 180 points.

Djokovic, who won the championship in Monte Carlo, stopped in the semi-finals last year, so he replaced the 360 ​​points of last year's semi-finals with 640 points for this year's championship, earning [-] points.

The rest is mathematical addition and subtraction, that is to say, Djokovic's world ranking point advantage has been further expanded by 460 points.

Indeed, Gao Wen is chasing after him, and until the US Open, there are all opportunities for Gao Wen to increase his points; but Djokovic will not sit still.

In addition, Federer, Nadal, Murray, and even Wawrinka and other players are all the same. They still have room to increase their points. As long as they can win in the head-to-head confrontation with Gao Wen, they will always win Being able to take the initiative will not completely lose the advantage.

Originally, there was a gap of nearly [-] points between Gao Wen and Djokovic. Now that the gap has widened further, this chasing battle will not be easy.

The battle for "No. [-] in the world" has indeed begun, but at the same time, it also means that the confrontation between the "Big Four VS Challengers" will enter a new level:
While Gao Wen is chasing Djokovic, other players will also start chasing him. After all, he is now the second in the world with one person under one man and above ten thousand people, and he is very likely to fight as the second seed At the French Open, all players who need to look up to him will inevitably launch an impact——

Everyone is eager to copy Gao Wen's US Open miracle last year and become famous in one battle.

The season is getting more and more interesting and intense.

Nevertheless, the second in the world is the second in the world.

From two Grand Slam champions and three Masters champions, to No. [-] in the world and officially launching his assault on No. [-] in the world, Gao Wen has indeed written a miracle.

The Huaxia Continent was full of hustle and bustle.

The keyword "the world's second" hit the hot search list on a busy and tiring Monday working day, triggering a frenzy of discussions on social networks.

From Li Na, who quietly retired, to Gao Wen, who turned out, the tennis idol banner has been seamlessly connected, and has continued to push the tennis boom to new heights, with thousands of fans rushing into it.

The most special place is that -
