The curtain may have come down on Indian Wells, but the conversation about the new Australian Open champion Keys is not over yet. Especially the title of "Miss Accident" given to her by fans and netizens, there is also a deep meaning behind it.
It is said that the top eight lineups decided by the 1000 tournament are not all good. Every matchup can be a spark, many people have believed in it before, but this Indian Wells seems to have subverted everyone's perception.
After Bencic defeated American Gauff to reach the quarterfinals, seeing that her quarter-final opponent was the American Case, almost everyone thought that it would not be easy for either of them to get through, and they would have to play at least three sets to determine the winner.
Keys has been on the waiver since winning the Australian Open, and this Indian Wells is her first stop since the Australian Open, but the American has carried over her good form from Melbourne to home soil; Bencic's form is not in doubt, and the fact that she was able to knock Gauff off the horse proves that the Swiss star is on the line.
Surprisingly, such a matchup, which is widely regarded as Mars hitting the Earth, became an exhibition match for the new Australian Open champion from the first set of Case's heavy artillery serve at more than 190 kilometers per hour.
In the face of such a case, before advancing to the quarterfinals, Bencic, who had always behaved like a fairy, had no way to deal with it in an instant. Even though the Swiss star wanted to use his good backhand cutting to interfere with the rhythm of Case, the American star's return ball did not look like a tennis ball, but a cannonball, so Bencic could only sigh helplessly to the sky.
How terrifying was the combination of skill and power that Keith had at the time? The TV announcer directly used the metaphor of "she is from Mars" to describe Case's amazing performance.
If Keys only shows the aesthetics of violence, it doesn't matter, what is even more surprising is that her ball is like having a telepathy with herself, really pointing to where to hit, hitting one by one, it seems to be out of bounds, but it always hits the line.
Bencic's helplessness finally made her be given two fritters by Keys and became the protagonist of the tragedy photographed by the new Australian Open champion.
I thought that Keys would have such an excellent performance against Bencic, and the semi-finals with Sabalenka repeated the Australian Open title showdown, this head-tearing game must be full of highlights, but I didn't expect everyone to guess wrong again this time.
Before this focus battle started, many people were still worried about whether Sabalenka's fight with Keys this time would not be old hatred and add new hatred. After all, the tragic image of Bencic's defeat is unforgettable, and this time he has the opportunity to reach the semifinals of Indian Wells after winning the Australian Open, and there is no need to think that the American star will go all out.
But after the actual fight, the situation on the field was shocking, and the fierce duel that everyone speculated did not appear, and the game became a bowl of beef noodles without salt, which was really tasteless at all.
Case's performance in the first set was like a kindergarten kid standing in front of Sabalenka, who was beaten to the point that he was powerless, and was given a duck egg by a Belarusian girl in the first set.
Judging from Case's expression at the time, as the new Australian Open champion, he was beaten like this by Sabalenka, and he did not look good. This also made the fans and netizens in the live broadcast room boldly assert that the American star in the second set will definitely give up his life and save his face, "How can you be beaten so badly, you are also a Grand Slam champion, otherwise how to look up and see other sisters in the tennis world in the future." ”
I don't know if Keys was completely stunned, or Sabalenka lost the championship because of the Australian Open, so that he missed the first person to win three consecutive Australian Open titles in the new century, and the fourth Grand Slam championship in his career, the anger and hatred in his heart are hard to quench, just want to beat Keys to avenge the loss in Melbourne, and finally only let Keys win one service game, and then ended the battle 6-1 in one fell swoop, defeating Case.
Seeing Keys play 0-6 and 1-6 against Sabalenka, the people in the live broadcast room were stunned, and they couldn't imagine that this was the score played by the American star, and some people even humorously said, "I'd rather believe that it was a stand-in against the fire emperor, rather than believe that it was Miss Key herself." ”
In fact, it is normal for everyone to have such a reaction, just imagine, just now Bencic became the heroine of the tragedy he filmed, and he was able to defeat Sabalenka in the Australian Open final, but he played such a rare score in the semifinals of the 1000 tournament, and this person is still Case, how unbelievable.
However, Keys did play a score that was unacceptable to the outside world, so that some people ridiculed the American celebrity, "Miss Key just woke up in the morning, has not eaten breakfast, wants to quickly get all the eggs and fritters, and is anxious to go home and sleep again." ”
When others talked about Case's speechless defeat, they wanted to know what happened to the American star and why he played such an embarrassing score, and became the "breakfast girl" in Indian Wells, so that "Miss Surprise" became Case's new title.
It's a pity that until now, everyone doesn't know what happened to Keith, whether it was due to physical reasons, or if he used too much force against Bencic, causing all the power of the wilderness to be used up? It is a big mystery for fans and netizens!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
