Sharp review of Deyo vs. Sinner: Deyo's twilight tragedy and Sinner's brainstorming

"When the skill reaches the end of the life cycle, the resonance of the spirit is eternal!"

When the 38-year-old Djokovic left the Philippe Chartier Stadium with his bag on his back, many fans couldn't help but sigh, "Although the blade is sharp, the back of the knife has shown the traces of time!" In this men's singles semi-final, the two men were close to each other, but the slight difference in key points exposed Djokovic's current physical inadequacy.

In this match, although Sinner only had a 51% success rate on his first serve, he had a 79% first-serve win rate and a 63% second-serve win rate, which led to only one service game broken by Djokovic in the match. According to ATP statistics, Djokovic's reaction to the serve is 0.3 seconds slower than his peak reaction, which is enough for a professional player to complete half of the extension.

In terms of Djokovic's more disadvantageous baseline, Sinner used his "time for space" style of play in exchange for more winning points and fewer unforced errors. Djokovic, on the other hand, made 53 unforced errors under Sinner's tight defense, compared to Sinner's 36.

"Thinking of going and returning, the floating boat is cold and parting. I am most afraid of the branches, and the birds come to love, but it is the April snow in the world. "I unconsciously wrote such sentences for Djokovic. Although I don't want to admit that I lost to the years, the truth is still cruel: the precious inventory in Djokovic's hand slowly slides from his fingers like quicksand, and finally turns into a helpless sigh - this is not only the trade-off of technology, but also the subtle difference between the spiritual realms of the two warriors.

Djokovic showed heroic pathos after the match, and he even bluntly said that this may be the last time he will play at the French Open.

'It's probably my last game in this stadium, that's why I have those emotions. At this stage of my career, it's hard to say if I'll be back at the French Open in 12 months. At this stage of my career, I don't know what tomorrow will bring. I'm going to keep going (laughs). Next up, of course, is Wimbledon, which was my favorite event of my childhood. I will do everything I can to be ready. I think my best chance might be to win another Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. Or go on a faster hard court like the Australian Open, or something like that. Considering my previous performance at the French Open, I must say that I am proud of my efforts tonight and in this tournament. Djokovic said.

The wall of time suddenly appeared, and in the face of the years, no one can never admit defeat. Just as Djokovic leaned over and touched the ground beneath his feet before leaving the ring, it was a silent goodbye.

If there is one excuse for this game, it may be that when one is too focused on certain goals, one is bound by the fear of failure and the burden of "must succeed". For Djokovic, the 25 crown may have become a kind of demon in his mind, which made him have too many "musts" and too many "musts" in his mind.

And when everything is finally awakened like a dream in the expected "certain", the human heart is just like the description in "Archery and Zen Heart", and the arrow on the string deviates from the bull's-eye again and again due to the distractions in the archer's heart. Under the weight of the obsession of "I must win this plate", the body is bound by invisible ropes, the rhythm of the swing is subtly changed, and the breath control is unstable, and the key double mistakes and mistakes come as promised—as the book says: "The idea of a goal is like a heavy stone, once it is tied to the heart, it is difficult for the light bird to fly." ”

And for Sinner, I'd be hard-pressed to find the right adjectives to describe him, to me he's more of a cold-blooded and ruthless monster. As soon as he walked inside the arena, the Italian immediately transformed into an indifferent killer warrior, as if entering another realm, he was not disturbed, he carried out his iron orders completely. I think that as far as today's game is concerned, he showed an almost "thoughtless" concentration almost the whole game, especially in that thrilling moment of inventory, like a cook to solve a cow, "meet with God rather than with eyes". This is simply an exaggeration, he almost did not hesitate or anticipate in advance, and completely relied on the intuition of his body and the judgment of his nerves for a moment to execute it, which is amazing!

In my opinion, the young Sinner has long understood the essence of professional tennis: true victory is never about fighting your opponent, but about dancing with your own heart. The invisible bowstring had already been quietly filled with every breath.

The final lineup may be the most exciting top matchup in men's tennis at the moment. On the one hand, the composure and calmness of "still water flowing deep", and on the other hand, the passion and enthusiasm of "volcanic flames", this game is destined to be not simple.

For Sinner, his consistency and ability to withstand pressure are his greatest strengths, and his astonishing defensive area is able to consistently return the ball to its most tricky positions, forcing Alcaraz to try higher-risk 'magic' shots in long, high-intensity multi-shot tug-of-war. For Alcaraz, if he wants to break through the barrier of Sinner's "Zen mind", he must, as Jung said, integrate his "magical" talent more deeply, find a delicate balance between passion and reason, and avoid falling into the quagmire of unforced mistakes due to excessive pursuit of "magic strikes"! In my opinion, the key to winning or losing the final may lie in who can let go of the burning gaze on the trophy more, and who can put in the most investment may create miracles!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
