"Kuznetsov vs. Murray" and "F-Lopez vs. Tim", these two games are typical "back wave vs. front wave" focus showdowns. The suspense of the outcome is worth looking forward to.
"Goffin vs Dimitrov" and "Gavin vs Kyrgios", these two games are classic "tomorrow's showdown", a moment for young people to show themselves.
Among them, Dimitrov and Kyrgios are both representatives of the new generation who have quickly emerged so far, while Chacha Goffin and Gao Wen also made history last month, setting a fifteen-game winning streak and three consecutive victories in the challenge. The feat of winning two championship trophies is now about to happen again on the US Open stage.
Really interesting.
So, which game is the most watched for these new generation players?
I'm afraid many people will think it is "Goffin vs. Dimitrov." After all, Dimitrov's popularity has soared, and Goffin has already made a name for himself before adjusting due to injuries. The duel between the two players It must be full of things to watch.
But the reality is——
"Gawain vs Kyrgios".
According to the voting statistics made by the official account of the US Open, among the sixteen duels between men's players, the game "Djokovic vs. Querrey" ranked first with 16.8% of the votes. Isner was exposed After the cold elimination, Querrey became the only remaining host player in the men's draw. This time he challenged the top seed Djokovic. The audience was looking forward to it and expected a miracle.
Followed closely by winning 11.3% of the votes and occupying second place is "Gawain vs Kyrgios".
Judging from the popularity of the topic, whether it is Gawain's unexpected emergence or Kyrgios's wild words, this is enough to make social networks abuzz.
What's more, this game itself is also full of highlights. Even if all off-field factors are stripped away, it is just from a professional perspective on the technical level. At least three professional commentators on espn recommended this game, thinking that it will be the best. A "pin-to-head" showdown.
Kyrgios, the bad boy from Australia, has been famous since he was a teenager. Since turning to the professional arena last year, he has continued to rise. And he ushered in a full-scale breakout this summer. After consecutively achieving outstanding results, he is ranked first in the world in the United States. Sixty came before the net was unveiled.
In terms of height and weight, 193 cm and 85 kg are almost exactly the same as Gao Wen after gaining weight, but his outstanding talent is fully demonstrated in his serve and forehand.
The most outstanding thing about Kyrgios' natural ability is that his forehand is as explosive as a missile.
Looking at the development of professional tennis in the past two decades, there are actually many powerful players, but specifically for the forehand, Fernando Gonzalez, known as the "Chilean Artillery", is undoubtedly the leader of many professionals. The most powerful artillery recognized by people.
This famous player is a master who can directly hit the forehand to return the ace winning point when facing Andy Roddick's first serve.
After Gonzalez retired, Argentinian star Del Potro was hailed as the successor to the strongest forehand in tennis. Now Kyrgios's forehand is also considered to have the explosive power of Gonzalez and Del Potro.
In other words, Kyrgios's forehand has the ability to burst out without warning and in extremely difficult situations and completely subvert the situation. The suddenness, explosiveness, and control are enough to be called terrifying.
Moreover, the most valuable thing is that Kyrgios's forehand not only has power, but also has both spin and tail power, and the entire ball quality is absolutely top-notch.
After gradually maturing in 2015 and 2016, Kyrgios was not afraid of facing the Big Four, and his easy hitting shots could always push the Big Four to the extreme.
Later, when facing the newly-emerged "Little Big Three", his victory was also leisurely and seemed completely effortless - provided that this evil king was willing to compete well.
It is worth mentioning that among the Big Four, Kyrgios had the worst record against Murray. He defeated Federer, Nadal and Djokovic early, but faced Murray. After a five-game losing streak, and only getting one pitiful set, it was not until the Queen's Cup in 2018 that he finally defeated Murray, completing the milestone of defeating the Big Four.
reason?
Murray's tactical layout and game sense have always been the best among the Big Four, and they are also the basis for his ability to gain a foothold in the top ranks. Therefore, when facing Kyrgios, Murray's strategy relies on his own strength. He performed fully under the package and flexible support, and was always able to restrain Kyrgios's unbridled hitting and sudden explosions without warning.
To put it simply, in terms of style and tactics, Murray is not afraid of Kyrgios——
Of course, the premise of everything is that Murray can withstand the impact of Kyrgios on the level of strength. Otherwise, Murray's calculations and layouts will not be able to be used no matter how clever or powerful they are.
So far, Gao Wen has only played two games in the public eye. One was against the powerful Isner, and the other was against the skillful Borrelli. Although the reference data is still not enough, the overall Generally speaking, professionals generally believe that Gao Wen should be a combination of Nadal and Murray——
He has tenacity and hard work, and is an intelligent player who plays with his head.
If this is really the case, Gawain may really have the ability to fight against Kyrgios. In addition, both players are still young and immature, and the fluctuations in the game are often obvious. The suspense of victory or defeat still depends on on-the-spot performance.
It can be seen from the opening odds in Las Vegas that Kyrgios is the more favored side, but the advantage is not obvious, and Gawain still has a chance.
It is precisely because of this that the focus gathered on this game is no less than "Djokovic vs. Querrey", and the topic is immediately explosive.
Then, on Friday night, the US Open officially announced Saturday’s games and schedule, which attracted a lot of exclamation——
