6-3, 6-4, 6-2, only took the Serbian King 1 hour and 53 minutes to solve Karatsev, making the Russian dark horse who broke through the qualifying look vulnerable in front of the absolute strength of the King of Melbourne.
Since Federer raised the number of individual Grand Slam trophies to 20, the best competition in tennis history has entered a white-hot stage. The dust settled in 2020, and the number of individual Grand Slam champions of the Big Three was 20, 20, 17 respectively.
Federer 20 seats, Nadal 20 seats, Djokovic 17 seats. Among the Big Three, Deyo is the youngest, but has the least number of Grand Slam champions. After the end of the 2020 season, the upcoming 20021season is particularly important for druid, who aims to hit the best result in tennis history.
In order not to fall behind, Deyo must win his own 18 Grand Slam title before Federer or Nadal changes the number of individual Grand Slam titles to 2 1. Eight of his 17 Grand Slam champions came from the Australian Open. Protecting his champion's back garden is the key to Deyo's great dream.
Therefore, although Deyo has the title of King of Melbourne and won Norman Brooks Challenge Cup for eight times, there is only one way for him to win the ninth Australian Open final.
Because this trophy is too important and crucial for Deyo!
In 2020, Deyo will make his crown as the king of Melbourne dazzling. According to the world's first position at that time, the French Open was still difficult, but Wimbledon and the US Open definitely had a chance to win the championship. However, when the epidemic broke out, Wimbledon, which bought huge insurance, was the first to announce the cancellation, and the French Open was arbitrarily postponed. With Nadal's terrible dominance on the clay court, the only championship he can win is actually the US Open.
During the epidemic, Deyo's troubles outside the stadium were also one after another. Many players (including themselves and their wives) were infected with the virus, from anti-vaccine remarks to negligence in management during the Balkan tour. Finally, before the start of the US Open, they openly challenged the authorities and wanted to form a new players' association from ATP, so that they became the target of public criticism.
Fenal's absence from the US Open was originally an excellent opportunity for Germany and Guangdong to narrow the gap. However, Deyo, who was under great pressure, failed in emotional management in the quarter-finals. He was disqualified after his reckless serve accidentally hit the division line, and his trip to the 18 Grand Slam crown was unexpectedly terminated.
In the final of the French Open, Germany lost to Nadal, and watched the king of clay, who was only 1 year older than himself, raise the number of individual Grand Slam champions to 20.
Therefore, whether Deyo can be crowned king for the ninth time in Melbourne is not only related to his great career that hit the peak in tennis history, but also an important confidence reconstruction for himself who has been unlucky last year. Imagine that if Germany loses to Medvedev in the final, not only will his opponent break his unbeaten golden body in the final of the King of Melbourne, but he will also become a real grand slam champion of the post-90 s tennis players, which is also a serious blow to himself.
There is only a gap of 17 and 18, but if Deyo can't be crowned king for the ninth time in Melbourne, then natto won the Musketeer Cup in Roland Galos, and the best throne in tennis history basically has nothing to do with him.
Therefore, this is Djokovic's ninth Australian Open final, but it is the most stressful one. I hope the king of Serbia will have the last laugh and push the best game in tennis history to a climax.
