In mid-June this year, the cumulative confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States exceeded 2 million, and the average daily new cases exceeded 25,000. However, in such a general environment, the US Open resolutely announced that it will be held as scheduled at the end of August 2020 US Open. Although the game will be held in an empty game, it will ensure the safety of players and players to the greatest extent, the news of the game unswervingly still caused an uproar in the global tennis circle. Is the US Open crazy?
After the news of the US Open as scheduled was released, as expected, big-name players began to withdraw from the game and prepare for the game to be confirmed. Then, after the game started, the players were diagnosed, and the players were forced to withdraw from the game. Even unexpectedly, Djokovic accidentally injured the referee and was disqualified from the US Open. When the game entered the deep round and the only male giant left unexpectedly, the new generation began to "peckle each other" and "the most watery Grand Slam final in history." As the broadcaster of the event, ESPN even revealed that it plummeted by 46% compared with the US Open in the same period last year... Is this US Open really a complete failure event?
However, when we look at everything from a different perspective, it seems to bring us some positive aspects.
drives the "rejuvenation" of the tennis industry
Although there is no ticket revenue for empty games, for the American Tennis Association, as long as the game starts smoothly, it can bring more than 100 million US dollars in broadcast revenue to the US Open every year. The US Open's fiscal revenue will fund the tennis industry in all walks of life in the United States, and will also provide assistance to coaches and tennis agencies in the United States. At the same time, for non-top players who have no serious games to play for 6 months, the holding of the US Open has also brought them important income. After all, the US Open can still get $61,000 after all. In addition to the financial level, although players were diagnosed during the game, they did not cause a large-scale spread of the epidemic. Overall, the epidemic prevention results of the US Open are quite remarkable. This has also injected a dose of heart-warming agent into the tennis industry and even the entire sports industry - although the global epidemic is not fully controlled, international sports events are slowly recovering.
Witness the "rise" of the new generation
This US Open men's singles Tim vs. Zverev's final is "too ugly", "comparing stupidity to each other", "pecking chickens pecking each other"... This is definitely a final between domestic and foreign fans mainstream evaluation. Is such a Grand Slam champion too "water"? In fact, whether water or not can be decided now depends on Tim's future performance. After all, Tim defeated Federer in the Indian Wells Masters last year and almost overturned Djokovic in the five-set battle in the Australian Open final this year. His hard power on the hard ground cannot be underestimated. As for his performance in the finals, he also said many times in many interviews after the game, "I want to win the Grand Slam too much, and I'm very nervous", but there is no doubt that with this Grand Slam in hand, I'll be more likely to relax in the future. As long as you have both hard strength and mentality, this US Open will definitely not be Tim's only Grand Slam. At that time, if you look back at this US Open, it will be more special from a historical perspective and it is a Grand Slam that truly witnessed Tim's rise.
Happy time for the "melon-eating crowd"
Although the fans said, "The US Open is going to hold it", they are still very happy to have high-level competitions to watch. After all, the performance competitions that have been held one after another, without the supreme honor, how can they compare to the Grand Slam? Even though the US Open game time is the most unfriendly to Chinese fans among the four major slams, those who can stay up late to watch the game are definitely true fans, but the melon-eating fans are scrambling to work or playing on Weibo during class and work. What's more, eating the melon that happens in the middle of the night is still very fragrant.
Recently, WeChat official account launched a brand new reader discussion function, similar to the regular message function, the difference is that you can directly insert Q&A into any location in the article. It is also an unexpected surprise for a blogger like me who opens a WeChat official account late and does not have a message function. Welcome to leave a message and chat. (Author: Miss Shen, SALLY)
