Federer
The end of the year is approaching, and when each project starts to make year-end summary, various lists are also being released. On the 20th, ATP (Professional Tennis Players Association) released the latest annual list, in this list. The "Kings" still occupy the most prominent position. Federer won the "Most Popular Singles Player Award" for the 17th consecutive year, and Nadal also won the "Sports Style Award of the Year". The two of them deserved the award, and there is no suspense at all. Murray, who had been silent among the four giants for a long time, also appeared on the list. He defeated Wawrinka, Tsonga and others and won the "Best Comeback of the Year Award".
Fans often joke: As long as Federer does not retire, the award "most popular" will never fall. Although Nadal and Djokovic have performed better in their performance over the past decade, the popularity Federer has accumulated around the world over the years has made it difficult for others to match.
At the beginning of this month, Federer went to Latin America to "make gold". He set a new record of the number of players entering a single game in Mexico City, making the voice of an exhibition match surpass the Davis Cup finals that Nadal and Djokovic participated at the same time. The Laval Cup, founded by Federer, has also felt threatened by ATP after more than two years of development, and has to reorganize it under his command this year. All of these show Federer's popularity, and no one in the entire history of the tennis world can stand out. Of course, Federer's popularity is not just because he is "living his capital". He can still reach the Grand Slam final at the age of 38 and ranks firmly in the top three in the world. These are the important magic weapons for Federer to gather stably and continuously increase his popularity.
On December 20th, Beijing time, the ATP annual award was officially announced. Swiss King Federer won the Most Popular Fan Award, which is his 17th consecutive year of winning this award. Murray won the Best Comeback Award, Nadal won the Edborg Sports Spirit Award, Anderson won the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Spirit Award, Mike Brian/Bob Brian won the Most Popular Fans combination, and Russian Rising Star Medvedev's coach Giles Kavala won the Best Coach of the Year.
Federer has won the most popular award among fans for 17 consecutive years. From 2003 to 2019, this also demonstrates the Swiss King of Football’s popularity around the world. Since 2003, Federer has won 38 ATP year-end awards, becoming the biggest winner in history:
17 Most Popular Fan Awards
13 Sports Style Awards
5 Best Player of the Year
2 Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Awards
1 Best Player of the Year
1 Best Player of the Comeback
The Brian brothers have joined forces again this year. They won the most popular group for fans for the 14th time. Murray has shown his tenacious fighting spirit and love for tennis with his inspiring comeback experience from the verge of retirement to winning the ATP Antwerp Championship, showing his tenacious fighting spirit and love for tennis, so he won the Best Comeback Award.
In the Stephen Edberg Sports Style Award generated by the current player voting, Nadal was successfully elected for two consecutive years (the third time in total). In addition, Anderson won the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Spirit Award.
At the most competitive fastest-progress player of the year, the Italian handsome man Beretini defeated Tsitsipas , Medvedev and Aliasim, and was successfully elected. Another Italian who won the championship of the New Power Finals, Sina won the Best Star of the Year.
Compared to Federer and Nadal won the prize without any surprise. Fans are even more excited to see Murray win the award. The "Best Comeback of the Year Award" was voted by the players, so after winning the award, Murray especially thanked his colleagues on social media. He said: "Thank you so many players for voting for me. It has not been a good time in recent years, but I am very grateful for everyone's support. See you next year!"
Murray has indeed had a bad life in recent years. For a three-time Grand Slam winner and one-year-end first place, Murray's achievements in the 2019 season seem to be "not worth mentioning".He only won a 250-point championship in Antwerp, and his year-end ranking was only 125th, and he could not compare with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic in the past two years as soon as he returned.
But the setbacks Murray encountered are also incomparable to the other three giants. After the Australian Open was eliminated at the beginning of this year, Murray was at the risk of being forced to retire. The serious hip injury even made him very difficult for a normal life, not to mention that his ranking once dropped to the top 500, which is a disaster that the other three giants have never encountered before. Even in the trough, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic's rankings did not fall out of the top 20, and Murray did not play well for two years from , Wimbledon in 2017 to Wimbledon in 2019.
So for Murray, return is victory. Since his comeback in June this year, Murray has been playing for five consecutive months. The most worrying hip has no signs of recurrence. This is the best news this year. Murray has only played six official ATP tours this year, which has improved his ranking by nearly 400 places. It took less than a month to go from his first win after his comeback to his first championship. Murray's recovery speed is already surprising.
For Murray's players, fans are always most concerned about: Can he still win the Grand Slam? Many people are pessimistic about this, and even his colleagues are not optimistic about it. Ivanisevic , former Wimbledon champion and current coach of Djokovic, said bluntly: "I don't think there is a chance. He can still bring us a lot of surprises, but winning seven games in a row with three wins of five sets is unlikely for him."
Although these remarks sound a bit cruel, they may also reveal the truth. At the peak of health, Murray could only steal three Grand Slams from the hands of the Big Three. Now, not only are the three giants still in glory, but the four "post-90s" giants Tim, Medvedev , Tsitsipas and Zverev are coming again. It is probably more difficult for Murray, who is seriously injured in his energy to win the Grand Slam than in the past.
But we cannot just use the criteria of winning the Grand Slam and returning to the first place to measure whether Murray's comeback is successful. As he said himself, he just doesn't want to leave with regrets because of injury. As long as he can still fight and win happily, no matter what the result is, he will be successful.
So, when Murray wrote "See you next year" on social media, it ignited the expectations of countless fans. Because Murray unfortunately suffered a groin injury during the Davis Cup final earlier this month, he canceled his two-week routine winter training at Miami . Although he said he would go to Australia to prepare for the new season as scheduled at the end of the month, his bad experience in recent years still made the outside world worried about his situation. Fortunately, the words "See you next year" should be his best comfort to the fans.
