At this point, let’s look back at this year’s clay court season:

Monte Carlo, Djokovic and Nadal meet in the semi-finals; Madrid, Murray and Nadal meet in the final; Rome, Djokovic and Federer meet in the final.

Once, again, and again, after the Big Four came to the clay court, they fully recovered and regained their dominance on the clay court, which the younger generation is not familiar with and is not good at. Even the Mesozoic branch of the "Challenger League" is fully Rise up and hand over a satisfactory answer sheet.

Excited!

Jump for joy!

There was applause.

and!

After Melbourne at the beginning of the year, Nadal once again entered the division of Gao Wen, and the "Big Four VS Challenger" storm is about to usher in another head-to-head confrontation.

Judging from the record of the fight, Nadal leads with two wins and one loss. On the hard court, the two players are equally divided; Undoubtedly, this will be a severe test for Gao Wen.

So, what is Gao Wen's winning rate? What about Nadal's winning percentage?

Obviously, people are still generally optimistic about Nadal —

After all, Gao Wen still needs more time on the clay court; after all, this is Roland Garros; after all, Nadal is still the king of clay.

More importantly, among the top four seeded players, Gao Wen is indeed the "weakest" link. From game experience to clay court strength to mass base, this is true in all aspects. Nadal successfully avoided other players. The three giants faced Gao Wen in the quarterfinals, and the opportunity leaked out.

Once Nadal can defeat Gawain in the quarter-finals, the situation of winning the championship will be bright. Next, it is very likely to face Federer in the semi-finals; and then come to the final and enter the final stage of the Grand Slam. Reaching the peak, whether it is against Djokovic or Murray, may not be invincible, and God of War will inevitably launch a strong impact towards the championship trophy again.

In other words, successfully avoiding the other Big Three in the quarterfinals, Nadal's prospect of winning the championship has brightened again.

Because of this, when the lottery result came out, the crowd erupted.

Accident.

joy.

surprise.

celebrate.

All kinds of emotions were blowing out, and one or two of the Chinese media covered their faces and raised their foreheads. They couldn't believe the result of such a draw—

It's not that they don't believe in Gao Wen, but that playing against Nadal on clay is really...hell difficulty.

Moreover, after the Australian Open, Gao Wen actually played against Nadal in the quarter-finals for the second consecutive Grand Slam.

but!

For other media and other audiences, this is a perfect draw.

If Nadal beats Gawain, then the grand occasion of the meeting of the Big Four, the possibility of realization will rise sharply, and the fans will start the party again.

If Gao Wen beats Nadal, then the "Big Four VS Challenger" storm will inevitably be pushed to a new height, and Gao Wen's follow-up match will definitely detonate the ratings.

Standing on the sidelines and fans, this is indeed a fantastic draw, which further pushes the excitement of this year's ATP tournament to its peak.

And who can refuse?

Cheers, one piece.

With Nadal's lottery settled, the biggest suspense of this year's French Open men's singles draw has been settled, and the follow-up draw will appear much more stable.

Looking at the draw, people will soon find that balance is the biggest feature of this year's Roland-Garros draw—

Strength, state, popularity, etc. are relatively balanced in the four divisions. There are strong confrontations and focus duels. Once again, the judgment of the perfect draw is confirmed.

For the event, this is a good thing, a great thing, to avoid the serious tilt of the second half of the Australian Open, which caused the schedule to be stretched. Whether broadcasting or ticket revenue has a direct impact.

The French Open, luck is good, it seems that this year's Roland Garros should be very exciting.

At least, that's what the sign said.

First of all, in the 1/4 area, Djokovic is in charge, and the quarterfinals will face Kei Nishikori.

Although Kei Nishikori's record against Djokovic in his career is very bad, and he just lost another game in the quarter-finals in Rome a week ago, but judging from the state of this year's clay season, Kei Nishikori is the second best. At the forefront of the echelon, all French Open warm-up matches were lost to the final champion.

It can be seen that ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Kei Nishikori is in good condition. Except for a few top players, he is also invincible on clay this year.

Coming to the French Open, whether Kei Nishikori can challenge Djokovic, who is aiming to win the championship, will also be a highlight.

Outside of two fiery players, this division is relatively evenly competitive:

There are high-ranked players like Anderson and Faye Lopez who are better at hard courts, and there are also low-ranked players like Verdasco, Agut, and Monaco who are competitive on clay courts, and there is also "Australian genius" Tomic Also in this division, it is very hopeful to challenge Djokovic in the third round.

From the analysis of strength on paper, there is a lack of strong players, but they are relatively balanced. Everyone has a chance to advance to the fourth round. This is also the overall feature of this year's French Open draw.

Here, Djokovic and Kei Nishikori should be expected to join the quarter-finals.
