The French Open qualifiers have been in full swing, but a number of well-known players have been lost in the tournament. Mo said that when it comes to the decisive round, many of them are out early in the first round.
First up is the men's singles top seed Čurić. The former Masters champion may still remember the scene of Lian Ke Hao winning the Cincinnati Masters, but the development in recent years has not been satisfactory.
Recently, he has been unable to find a win in a tour event, so he has switched to a challenge tournament. Although he won multiple titles at the lower levels and gained confidence, he still went to the Grand Slam qualifiers early, and this is the first time in 11 years that he has fallen in qualifying.
Remember his rhetoric after beating Federer in the final of the Harley race? "I'm looking forward to beating the Swiss in the All England Club final one day." Circumstances change with the passage of time! Today's first generation of Xiao Xianrou, don't say that the Grand Slam has won, but he can't even enter the Grand Slam main event!
This is followed by Fognini, who is also a former Masters champion. The Italian, who defeated Rafael Nadal at the Monte Carlo Masters and gave him what he said was "one of the worst matches of his career", was crowned king in the final, becoming the oldest male player to win the Masters for the first time.
However, it was also the last highlight of his career, as he was too old and clearly uncompetitive to retire after playing his last Rome Masters on home soil as a wildcard.
We must not forget the former French brother Mannarino. The bald player, affectionately called "Ma Niangniang" by Chinese fans, was once a French brother, and the healthy competition with Ember came and went. He has a style of play that advocates technical flow, and he can always bring us wonderful balls. But unlike Embell's repeated championships, Mannarino's development in recent years has been somewhat dwarfed. He has repeatedly fallen in the rankings, and has also been surpassed by compatriot Fez, Mutai and other players, and now it is difficult to escape the risk of being pulled down even in the qualifying rounds.
Wu Yixuan, a Chinese player who won the first championship of the mainland men's player tour, finally got rid of his injury troubles, but this time he had to sigh that his luck was too poor and he finally stopped in the first round of the qualifying tournament. At the beginning, he beat many local first-brothers, including Isner and Fritz, in Dallas, and he can be described as "a spring breeze with a horseshoe disease", and now, it has been too long to see his brilliant performance. At present, Buyun Chaoket has become the new first brother in the mainland, Wu Yixuan should still look up to Zhang Zhizhen and Buyun Chaoket at the moment, and strive to be the first brother in China or even Asia!
All four players have a past. Looking back, it's not very embarrassing!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
