After Serbian king Deyo and American girl Gauff both advanced to the round of 16, they almost blew up public opinion.

After struggling to reach the third round in the first two rounds, Djokovic is about to face Zhang Zhizhen's doubles partner and friend Mahachi, and the outside world is worried about the Serbian king.

When the pair met in the semi-finals of the Geneva 250 last year, few doubted Deyo's ability, and even the opinion was almost overwhelmingly that the Serbian king's first tour title of the 2024 season was coming.

I never thought that after a hard-fought three-set battle with Mahachi, despite Djokovic giving the Czech good, he was knocked out of the final when he was so close to the title, causing the biggest upset at the Geneva 250.

This time the two met in the third round of the Australian Open, for Mahachi, who has experience in playing against Deyo, no matter who thinks that he can win Deyo once, he naturally knows how to play this key battle in the Australian Open.

The reason why everyone is most worried about Deyo in this game is the first two sets, because Deyo's performance in the first two rounds of the Australian Open, the state of the first two sets fluctuates greatly, if it is still the same way before, once the game falls into a hard battle, with Mahachi's rich experience in the tournament, it means that Deyo's trouble is coming.

It is gratifying that in the face of Mahac's challenge this time, Deyo finally overcame the problem of inconsistent play in the first two sets, and when the Czech just rolled up his sleeves and prepared to play against the Serbian king, Deyo had already made the first move, and when Mahac's good form was about to rise, he quickly held his momentum and took the lead in two consecutive sets 6-1 and 6-4, forcing the Czechs into a desperate situation.

In the third set, Deyo's hand and state were still as hot as the first two sets, and he held the initiative of the game tightly in his own hands from the beginning. Even though Mahac tried to fight back, the Czechs were helpless under the precision of the Djokovic control point and the airtight baseline defense, and finally handed over the third set 4-6, giving the Djokovic his first three-set victory since the start of the Australian Open, winning an easy match.

After the match, everyone praised Deyo's performance was simply perfect, and bluntly said that he finally saw Deyo play a completely overwhelming match at the Australian Open, "That invincible hexagonal fighter is finally back?" ”

Deyo showed such an excellent form by playing against Mahachi in the third round this time, which also made many people look forward to the potential "Deca War" from the previous unthinkable.

Since making his debut in Brisbane this year, the Serbian king has been inconsistent due to his inconsistent form, which makes people feel that they have been drawn in the same half as Alcaraz this year.

The thought of Alcaraz's revenge and the good form he showed at the Australian Open made many people worry that if Deyo's form always swayed like the previous two sets, even if he stumbled in front of Alcaraz, it is estimated that when the "Deka War" ends, "it will also be the moment for the Serbian king to say goodbye to the Australian Open." ”

Now that Deyo has finally seen him back to his best ahead of the "Deca War", it also means that when he meets Alcaraz, Deyo's hopes of victory have increased again.

Next, as long as Djokovic crosses the Leheca hurdle, then the much-anticipated drama of the Serbian king and Alcaraz will be staged as scheduled. Many people bluntly said that as long as Deyo can get past Alcaraz, he will eliminate half or more of the doubts that the outside world is not optimistic that he can win the championship this year.

The process of the American girl Gauff advancing to the round of 16 of the Australian Open, like Djokovic, is also very exciting.

It is said that since last year's year-end finals, Gauff has completely transformed, and is no longer the little girl who was a little timid when facing Swiatek and Sabalenka before, and this time she competed with Fernandez for a ticket to the round of 16, and the performance of the American girl once again proved this to the outside world.

With a powerful serve, a stronger forehand and a solid defence, Gauff's strength is reflected in Fernandez.

When the American swept the Canadian 6-4 and 6-3 to advance to the round of 16, Gauff not only won 10 consecutive games across the season, but also won eight consecutive victories at the beginning of the third consecutive season, equaling the record of the four legends of women's tennis. Before Gauff did this, only Court, Graf, Celes and Serena Williams had done it, and now Gauff has joined their camp as the fifth, which is remarkable to think she's only 20 years old.

Almost all eyes are on Djokovic and Gauff, who want to see how the Serbian king will meet Alcaraz, and whether Gauff will take this glory all the way to the semi-finals, and then have a Mars and Earth-like showdown with Sabalenka, and whether he can reach the final of the Australian Open for the first time, and be one step closer to tearing off his Grand Slam label.(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
