The main events of the night session in Chapter 352 are
"Kuznetsov vs. Murray" and "F-Lopez vs. Thiem". These two matches are typical "new wave vs. old wave" focus duels, and the suspense of the outcome is worth looking forward to.
"Goffin VS Dimitrov" and "Gowon VS Kyrgios" are the classic "tomorrow's showdown" and the 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 Chagoffin and Koeman both made history last month, creating a feat of 15 consecutive victories and winning three championship trophies in the Challenge Tournament, and now they are about to meet on the US Open stage.
Really interesting.
So, which game is the most anticipated for these new generation players?
I'm afraid many people would think it is "Goffin VS Dimitrov". After all, Dimitrov's popularity has soared, and Goffin had already made a certain name for himself before he adjusted due to injury. The duel between the two players is bound to be full of highlights.
But the reality is——
"Gawain vs Kyrgios".
According to the voting statistics made by the official account of the US Open, among the 16 matches between men's players, the match between Djokovic and Querrey won 16.8% of the votes and ranked first. After Isner was eliminated unexpectedly, Querrey became the only remaining host player in the men's draw. The audience is very much looking forward to the challenge of the top seed Djokovic and is expecting a miracle.
Following closely behind with 11.3% of the votes was "Gawain VS Kyrgios".
Judging from the popularity of the topic, whether it is Gao Wen's sudden appearance or Kyrgios's outspoken remarks, it is enough to make social networks boil.
What's more, this game itself is full of highlights, even if all off-field factors are stripped away and it is only viewed from a professional technical perspective. At least three professional commentators from ESPN recommended this game, believing that it will be a "tit-for-tat" showdown between the two strong teams.
Kyrgios, the bad boy from Australia, has been famous since his teenage years. He has continued his upward trend since turning professional last year and had a full-scale outbreak this summer. After continuously achieving outstanding results, his world ranking had reached 60th before the opening of the US Open.
In terms of height and weight, 193 cm and 85 kg are almost exactly the same as Gao Wen after he gained weight, but his outstanding natural ability is fully revealed in his serve and forehand.
The most outstanding aspect of Kyrgios's talent is that his forehand explosive power is comparable to that of a missile.
Looking at the development of professional tennis over the past twenty years, there are actually quite a few power players, but specifically speaking of forehand, Fernando Gonzalez, known as the "Chilean Cannon", is undoubtedly recognized by many professionals as the strongest cannon.
This famous player is an expert who can directly hit an ace winning point with his forehand return serve even when facing Andy Roddick's first serve.
After Gonzalez retired, Argentine star Del Potro was hailed as the successor to the strongest forehand in tennis. Now Kyrgios' forehand is also considered to have the explosive power of Gonzalez and Del Potro.
In other words, Kyrgios' forehand has the ability to burst out forcefully and completely overturn the situation without any warning and in extremely difficult situations. The suddenness, explosiveness and control are enough to be called terrifying.
Moreover, the most commendable thing is that Kyrgios' forehand not only has power, but also has rotation and tail power. The overall quality of the ball is absolutely top-notch.
After gradually maturing in 2015 and 2016, Kyrgios was not afraid of the Big Four at all. His effortless shots were always able to push the Big Four to the extreme.
Later, facing the newly emerging "Little Big Three", his victory was also easy and seemingly effortless - the premise was that this devil was willing to play well.
It is worth mentioning that among the Big Four, Kyrgios' worst record is against Murray. He defeated Federer, Nadal and Djokovic early on, but suffered a five-game losing streak against Murray, and only won one set pitifully. It was not until the 2018 Queen's Cup that he finally defeated Murray and completed the milestone of defeating the Big Four respectively.
reason?
Murray's tactical layout and game sense have always been the best among the Big Four, and they are also the basis for him to gain a foothold in the top ranks. So when facing Kyrgios, Murray's well-thought-out strategy was fully utilized under his powerful wrapping and flexible support, and he was always able to restrain Kyrgios's wild shots and unexpected outbursts.
Simply put, from a stylistic and tactical perspective, Murray is not afraid of Kyrgios.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Murray can withstand Kyrgios's impact at the power level, otherwise "one force defeats ten skills", and Murray's calculations and layouts will not work no matter how smart and powerful they are.
So far, Gawain has only played two matches in the public eye, one against the powerful Isner and the other against the skillful Borelli. Although the reference data is still insufficient, overall, professionals generally believe that Gawain should be a combination of Nadal and Murray.
He has tenacity and fighting spirit, and is also an intelligent player who plays with his head.
If this is true, Gawain may really be able to compete with Kyrgios. In addition, both players are still young and immature, and the fluctuations in the game are often more obvious. The suspense of victory or defeat still depends on their performance on the spot.
It can be seen from the opening odds in Las Vegas that Kyrgios is the more favored party, but the advantage is not obvious, and Gawain still has a chance.
It is precisely because of this that the focus on this match is no less than that of "Djokovic VS Querrey", and the topic is directly off the charts.
Then, on Friday night, the US Open officially announced the schedule for Saturday’s matches, which caused a lot of amazement.
It's the US Open! Arthur Ashe Stadium, daytime.
In the first game, Pennetta faced Gibbs.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In the second game, Djokovic faced Querrey.
In the third game, Serena Williams faced Lepchenko.
Night show.
In the first game, Bouchard faced Strycova.
In the second game, Kyrgios faced Gawain.
Boom! Boom boom boom! As we all know, the US Open is the youngest, most avant-garde and trendiest of the four Grand Slams. It is also the one that dares to try and break through the most. After all, they are located in the United States, and everything is about money. Ratings and advertisers play an important role in the arrangement of matches and broadcast time.
Of course, the prize money of the US Open has always been the leader among the four Grand Slams.
It is precisely because of this that the US Open, for ratings reasons, chose two youth storms during prime time on Saturday night. This is not so strange. It also directly reflects the current hot spots on social networks. This arrangement has won countless applause from the audience, cheering for the bold move of the US Open.
One stone can cause a thousand ripples!
Then--
Gawain is about to land at Arthur Ashe Stadium again, and this time he will go one step further and land at night! All-day event! (End of this chapter)
