The old boy Nadal set many records and said that people under 30 years old were slapped in the face
Nadal who won the championship was moved to tears, and excited It’s not just Nadal who is overwhelmed, but also us, who admire his fighting spirit and tenacity, and are also conquered by his performance in the 2019 season. Rather than saying that he is a king, it is better to think that he is a "demigod", at least. So far, time has not stopped him from moving forward.
At this year’s US Open, Nadal once again wore a sleeveless shirt to compete in a Grand Slam. When the man in the sleeveless shirt came back, he himself seemed to be a child again. Judging from his performance in the five-set battle until the end, we really didn’t dare I believe this is an "old man" who is over 33 years old. What deserves our thumbs up most is that the performance of winning the US Open is just the best portrayal of Nadal's peak throughout the 2019 season.
The big drama at the beginning of the year Australian Open Nadal lost to Djokovic and missed the championship, but French Open won Thiem to defend his territory. Although Wimbledon lost to his lifelong enemy Federer and stopped in the semi-finals, but in the last game of the year A Grand Slam title is once again justified by a championship.In the season and four Grand Slams , the 33-year-old Nadal handed over 2 crowns, 1 Asian semi-finals and 1 semi-finals. This year's four majors reached the semi-finals, which is enough to show that Nadal's state has no downward trend.
This reminds us of the 2008 season. Nadal entered the semi-finals at the Australian Open and the US Open, won back-to-back titles at the French Open and Wimbledon, and reached the semi-finals in all four Grand Slam tournaments. Nadal was only 22 years old at the time. Who could have predicted that 11 years later Nadal would be able to replicate the feat of reaching the semi-finals of all four Grand Slams.
After winning the US Open, the 33-year-old Nadal also achieved the feat of winning five Grand Slam titles after the age of 30, thus surpassing the 4 crowns of Federer, Djokovic, Rod Laver, and Rosewell in one fell swoop. , ranking first on the list. In addition, the 33-year-old Nadal has also become the oldest player to reach at least the semi-finals of all four Grand Slams in a single season, and the oldest player to reach three Grand Slam finals in a single season.
When these records are placed in front of you, you must say the last sentence from the bottom of your heart, the God of War is invincible! Although he forms the Big Four with Federer, Djokovic and Murray, what is different from the other giants is that Nadal was at the top when he debuted and can still be at the top after the age of 33. Once upon a time, I don’t know how many fans and experts believed that Nadal’s playing style of “killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred” was destined not to reach the age of 30. However, reality slapped many people in the face. Nadal not only hit 30 years old, and fought so brilliantly, I will tell you how to write the word "God of War".

Nadal Federer Djokovic has won 12 consecutive Grand Slams, aiming for a record of 18 championships
Nadal Federer Djokovic has won 12 consecutive Grand Slams
took nearly 5 hours to defeat Medvedev and win the US Open championship. Nadal's victory was indeed a near miss, but he still won. The importance of this crown to Nadal and the Big Three is self-evident. Nadal has become the first player in history to win five Grand Slams after the age of 30. Who can shake Fenard’s dominance? Now it’s time to see Still no solution.
In an interview before the decisive battle at the US Open, Nadal bluntly said that Federer, Djokovic and himself are all old, and the era of giants is about to come to an end. But facts have proven that Nadal is worthy of being a model of being low-key and doing things high-profile. If we take the Grand Slam championship as a reference, to be honest, the Big Three have not lost their right to speak because of their age.
From the return of Federer at the 2017 Australian Open to the 2019 US Open, Nadal has proven that he is getting better and better with age. In fact, the Big Three have packed away all 12 Grand Slam championships in the past three years, among which Federer won the 2017 Australian Open, 2017 Wimbledon and 2018 Australian Open champions, and Djokovic returned to the top in 2018, winning the 2018 Wimbledon, 2018 US Open, 2019 Australian Open, 2019 Wimbledon crown, Nadal even more It's amazing. Not only did he achieve three consecutive French Open titles and defend the clay court with strong force, he also won the US Open twice.
As Nadal achieved 12 consecutive Grand Slam titles for the Big Three, he also broke the record of the three kings winning 11 championships from the 2010 Australian Open to 2012 Wimbledon. Who stopped the Big Three from moving forward? The answer is Murray, in the 2012 US Open decisive battle, Murray defeated Djokovic to win the championship.
Fernald's 12 consecutive championships are already extremely great, but they are only the second-longest sweep record. In comparison, the 18 consecutive championships achieved by the Big Three from the 2005 French Open to the 2009 Wimbledon are even more incredible. The one who stopped them from winning consecutive championships was Botero. The Argentine eliminated Nadal and Federer one after another at the 2009 US Open, becoming the first person to break the dominance of the giants. There can be applause here!
Nowadays, both Botero and Murray have been affected by injuries. Whether they can still play the role of terminator is a question mark. It is also unknown when the post-90s generation will take over. Therefore, the question is, can the Big Three win the title after 12 consecutive championships? Can he stay strong and march toward his 18th consecutive championship? In other words, Federer needs to win all four Grand Slams in 2020, as well as win the Australian Open and French Open in 2021. From a realistic perspective, even though this is difficult, if Nadal and Djokovic are in good health, Federer can maintain a competitive level , it’s really not impossible.
