【match point】【】
On the fifth match day, the cold wind continues—
In the women's singles field, A-Radwanska, Svitolina, and Bencic were upset.
In the men's singles field, Ferrer, Raonic, Seppi and Robredo all stopped in the third round.
Of course, from the perspective of the lottery, the third round is already the top 32. From this round onwards, the collision between seeded players and seeded players will be fully staged. It is normal for some upsets to occur; but the low-ranking seeded players have finished one after another. The outstanding performance of the counterattack caused the draw to fall into chaos.
District 4/8, the most typical—
Originally, the high-ranking seeds in this small division were Kei Nishikori and Raonic. Both players performed well on fast and hard courts. They were also considered to be Murray's biggest opponents in advancing to the semi-finals; But now, Kei Nishikori and Raonic are both out, stopping in the first week.
this…
As a result, this partition fell into complete chaos.
Dimitrov, who had a sluggish performance throughout the year, and Chardy, who had a full-scale breakout of the North American summer hard court season, unexpectedly emerged from this division and both advanced to the top 16. Next, they will compete for a spot in the top eight. This was definitely something no one expected.
Perhaps this is Dimitrov's best chance to return to the Grand Slam quarterfinals?
As of the fifth match day, 14 people have withdrawn from the US Open this year, 12 of them are men's singles players. The situation is very tragic.
Sock was eliminated because he couldn't stand the scorching heat, suffered cramps and dehydration, and was almost carried off the court in the end.
The severity and badness of the competition environment have an impact on every player, and the men's singles best-of-five-set match is an even more severe test.
Murray is no exception. In the second round, Murray fell behind French player Manarino "0:2" and finally completed a great comeback. At the post-match press conference, he said that he was very unhappy. Comfortable, there are some respiratory problems, and physical exertion is very serious.
Hot summer has become a new keyword.
However!
What really set off the discussion and stirred up a storm was not any of the players in any of the above-mentioned games. The absolute breaking news is yet to come.
Arthur Ashe Stadium, night court, hosted by Serena Williams and Nadal.
First, Serena Williams broke into a cold sweat.
In the match against compatriot Mattek Saunders, the defending champion lost the first set and suffered a break in the second set when he was serving to win the set. His serving state was not adjusted to the best for a long time, but in the end, The world number one in women's singles still found the feeling, winning eight consecutive games to end the match.
A donut is given in the deciding set.
Then came the collision between Nadal and his old rival Fognini.
Fognini has always been unafraid of Nadal with his unconstrained playing style. Although Nadal won all the first four encounters in his career, Nadal always stumbled against Fognini and his playing style was incompatible.
This year alone, Fognini has met Nadal three times. Fognini won two and lost one, and all three of them took place on clay.
This time in New York was the fourth meeting in 2015, and Nadal played the worst game of his career.

"6:3", "6:4". 33 novel network
Nadal, play two sets first.
In Nadal's career, in a best-of-five-set match, the winning rate after winning the first two sets is %, 159 wins and one loss.

Nadal, upset.
All of New York was silent.
Originally, if Nadal could defeat Fognini to advance, he would face Djokovic in the next round, which would undoubtedly be the highlight.

The legendary record of Grand Slam champions is also officially dead.

In this way, amidst the commotion and uneasiness, the sixth match day slowly kicked off, and a subtle atmosphere quietly spread in the air.
Then Gawain appears—
For the third consecutive game, Gowan once again stepped onto the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The sour and refreshing taste is like getting into a tanning machine, illuminating every corner of the body vertically without blind spots.
Heat and high temperature are only one aspect of the impact. The frequency and amount of sweating, physical energy consumption, water replenishment, etc. cannot be ignored.
The impact on line of sight is more direct, because light reflection, tennis flight trajectory and landing point judgment are prone to inevitable deviations, which means that shot control needs to face more difficulties -
It is precisely because of this that players are very sensitive to spectators' mobile phones or sunglasses, and variables caused by light reflection and refraction may become interference at any time.
It was stuffy and hot, accompanied by strong winds, and I was already sweating profusely in less than five minutes.
No wonder players are quitting the game in a row.
Some people died, but not completely…
