The Masters is held continuously, which is not uncommon in the year-round schedule. In addition to Indian Wells and Miami, there are also Madrid and Rome, Cincinnati and Canada. These events are also seamlessly connected one after another.
However, the "Sunshine Double" is a two-week event with 96 draws, which also means four consecutive weeks of participation, but it is unique with such intensity.
You can't blame the players for choosing one of the two, participating in one and giving up the other, in order to ensure their health.
Of course, if possible, the players do not want to miss any event. The popularity of the "Sunshine Double" in the tour is obvious to all, and everyone sincerely hopes to participate in both events; but ideally It's beautiful, but reality is often skinny.
When it came time to make a choice, Indian Wells, which was held the week before, had the advantage.
The reality is that more players often choose to go to the desert, and then decide whether to go to Miami to compete based on their specific performance and physical condition. This also causes Miami's lineup to suffer varying degrees of starlight losses every year.
The simplest and most intuitive thing is that Nadal has never gone to Miami to compete since 2018.
Nadal's last appearance in Miami was in 2017. He reached the finals all the way, but unfortunately lost to Federer. He lost all five finals. This also made Miami and Paris the only two Masters tournaments where Nadal failed to win the championship. .
There is no doubt that this is a real problem that Miami must face, but the point is that this is a microcosm of the intensive schedule throughout the year, and it cannot be controlled by Miami in one event. This requires T, sponsors, players union, etc. Wait until consensus is reached to find a solution.
Difficult, difficult to reach the sky.
This year is no exception.
Over there, the men's singles final in Indian Wells was taking place, and Gao Wen and Federer were discussing swordplay.
Here, the Miami qualifying rounds have all come to an end, and the first round of competition has slowly begun.
One after another, there is no time to breathe.
Objectively speaking, this is the case throughout the year. Games flow seamlessly week after week, and players need to learn to arrange their schedules scientifically.
But the intensity of participating in two consecutive Masters tournaments and four consecutive weeks is a severe test for any player——
Judgment and choice are very necessary.
In addition to Monfils and Kvitova, who are exempted from the competition due to injuries, Beneteau, Kohlschreiber, Kyrgios, Gasquet, Cibulkova, Sepi, Lajovi Qi, Mady-Fsh (rdy-Fsh), Stepanek and other players also announced their withdrawal due to injuries.
In addition, Cilic, who just returned from injury in Indian Wells last week, once again announced his withdrawal due to injury.
Also, Federer did not go to Miami at all. After the final in Indian Wells, he announced his regretful absence on social networks.
Although regretful, there was not much hesitation in Federer's decision.
For the Swiss King, the two-hour and seventeen-minute final in Indian Wells was a huge drain, especially on the physical level. He is already thirty-four years old and cannot recover as quickly as he did when he was seventeen years old—— No matter how hard or difficult the game is, just sleep and it will be better.
Federer needed to rest and adjust, so even though he was not suffering from any injuries, he still retired for the upcoming clay court season.
Miami, heavy losses.
Judging from the world rankings, only Federer and Monfils are absent from the top 20. The numbers are still good, but Miami understands Federer’s appeal——
One is worth ten.
But what can Miami do?
Tournament director Fernando-Soler personally called Federer, hoping that Federer could still go to Miami to compete.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
When his career reaches this stage, for Federer, focusing on physical health and prolonging his career are the only important things.
Miami, after all, "lost" Federer this year.
In fact, this is also a direct reflection of the increasingly fierce competition between Miami and Indian Wells, even including the participating lineups.
The competition within the "Sunshine Double Crown" is far more intense than imagined.
In recent years, Indian Wells has become more and more high-profile and aggressive. Ever since Oracle CEO Larry Ellison became the owner of the event, he has been like a possession of Chelsea in the Premier League, spending money like water and spending huge amounts of money. From hardware to software to public relations, everything took off.
It has soared into the sky and continues to expand its advantages.
There is no harm without comparison. Miami has indeed been in the shadow of Indian Wells, and the event faces more than one or two crises.
But this does not mean that Miami is ready to give up the title of "Fifth Grand Slam". Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, they will wait and see.
However, the competition and competition at the event level are more about the competition of capital. In Gao Wen's view, it is far from the players. They are all pawns.
until now--
Gao Wencai slowly realized that as their personal influence grew, they would gradually play an increasingly important role in the game of capital competition.
This is true for Federer, and so is the case for other giants.
Now, he himself has started to get started, opening the door to a whole new world.
"Welcome! Welcome welcome welcome!"
Soller came towards Gawain and gave Gawain a big hug enthusiastically. The unique enthusiasm of South Americans seemed to melt their souls into this hug. From body language to facial expressions to the warmth of words, you can deeply feel it. That joy and excitement, dance to your heart's content.
Gawain, caught off guard, looked at Thorler with a surprised look on his face.
Soller looked at Gawain's eyes as wide as bells, clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "What? Haven't you ever experienced the embrace of South America?"
Gao Wen deliberately showed an expression of lingering fear, and patted his chest, fearing that his heart would jump out, "I used to have a lot of Spanish and Portuguese students in high school, but you know, high school students and teenagers, we wholeheartedly reject any form of We are all sincere in our contact.”
Then, spreading his hands, "No one wants to be treated like an old man."
Soller laughed heartily, "Indeed, indeed, only after becoming parents can you be so keen on hugging. My children refuse my hugs every day and keep emphasizing that they are no longer children. Jesus Christ, In my eyes, they are children."
At this time, Tobias, who was standing aside, intervened, "Fernando, if you want to please Gawain, I think you need to be smarter."
Soller didn't mind either. His facial features were very expressive, just like characters in cartoons. His eyebrows, eyes and mouth all had their own thoughts, "John, is that so? Have I given away my flaws? Although I know Gao Wen is a smart man, but not that smart, right?"
Gawain pretended to look up at the sky and whistled, as if he didn't hear the two people in front of him discussing him.
One movement and one expression is enough.
