In 2003, Federer won his first Wimbledon title and announced that tennis had entered a new era.
Born in 2005, Nadal won his first French Open title and gradually challenged Federer's authority.
In 2009, Djokovic officially entered the first echelon and won the championship 20 1 1 three times. Since then, tennis has entered a tripartite confrontation.
In 20 12, Murray Rickett of the US Open won the first Grand Slam. Since then, he and Finnard have been officially called the Four Giants of Men's Tennis.
It is said that heroes come from troubled times since ancient times. What is troubled times? This means an era of chaos and instability. The end of the 20th century, 265438+the beginning of the 20th century, is a period of gradual transition between the old and the new. The old dynasty has gradually disintegrated, and the four kings of the 1990s ushered in their twilight years. 30-year-old Edberg 1996 retired, and 3 1 year-old Becker 1999 retired. Sampras, the once all-powerful American tennis champion, also chose to hang up his boots for filming in 2003, and Agassi, a 36-year-old talented tennis player, also announced his retirement in 2006.
The old dynasty has collapsed, and naturally someone wants to establish a new dynasty. It was not Federer who was the first to kill and seize the territory, but Roddick, Hewitt and other sworn enemies, who reached the top of the world before him. Since winning the first Grand Slam title in 2003 and ranking first in the world, Federer has honed in professional tennis for five years, which is also the period when he suffered the most failures. We often say that failure is more memorable than success, because it can inspire your fighting spirit and keep you moving forward. So far, the opponent who once competed with him for the world has already retired, and Federer, who is nearly 36 years old, is still the favorite to win the championship.
Everyone has his own good and bad areas, and Federer is no exception. Although he was still in full swing at that time, the young man from Mallorca gave him a heavy blow. The 19-year-old boy won his first grand slam at home and made headlines for a while. Nadal's talent really made Federer deeply feel that he was not invincible. Since then, Roland Galos and Federer have been sad for Nadal all their lives, and his dynasty was successfully overthrown by him. Since then, tennis has entered a hegemonic period.
In the following years, Deyo and Murray joined in one after another, and the tennis world also formed the era of the Big Four, which was talked about by people. Not only have all four won more than three Grand Slam titles (Federer 18, Nadal 15, Germany about 13, and only three Murray), but they have all reached the top of the world and are still alternating with each other.
According to statistics, since 2003, there have been 58 Grand Slam champions and 49 monopolies. Among them, the number of times the Big Four reached the finals was: Federer 28 times (18, 10), Nadal 22 times (15,7), Germany about 2/kloc-0 times (13,8), and Murray/klk.
Facing the brilliant achievements of our predecessors, today's younger generation is really ashamed, while only three middle-aged and old veterans in active service are Luo, Wawrinka and Siric. It is really not easy to win five Grand Slam titles from the Big Four. At present, although 23-year-old Tim and 20-year-old Zvilev have made great progress in the past two years, Tim has reached the semi-finals of the Grand Slam and Wei Zi won the first post-90s Masters, but it is the runner-up of 20 16 Wimbledon who can be called the 26-year-old La Onic.
In the face of the delay in the Grand Slam, Zvilev even said with a little frustration: "Although failure can make people grow, I am tired of this kind of failure." Yes, the taste of failure is hard for everyone. Even Federer once said that losing often when he was a child even made him want to stay away from tennis.
Although now, even in the next three years, men's tennis may still be dominated by the four major players, please don't lose heart. Youth is capital, and it will come to an end sooner or later. As long as you persist in your efforts and attach importance to it, then God will always choose to take care of you at the right time.
