Three minutes a day to know the world's tennis affairs. Hello, fans, today is Wednesday, November 4, 2020. Welcome to listen to the Lunar Newspaper provided by "Tennis House".
Beijing time Last night this morning, ATP1000 Paris Masters started the second match day, and the remaining games in the first round and the second round were played crosswise. Compared with the calmness of the first match day, the second day's unpopularity was everywhere, and three top 8 big seed players suffered a Waterloo.
The first to be eliminated was the No. 8 seed, Belgian Goffin. He was stubbornly blocked by his opponent in the battle with Slovakian Gampos, and eventually lost two sets in a row, losing 4-6/6-7 (6), and was out in his debut. Following closely behind, the No. 2 seed, Greek star Tsitsipas was challenged again. He fought with the French rising star Amber, who has been in a strong position recently, and scored seven in three sets, which took 3 hours and 17 minutes. The Frenchman won the final victory, who ended the Greek star's dream of winning the championship with 7-6 (4)/6-7 (6)/7-6 (3). This result hurt Tsitsipas, who was full of confidence before the game.
Just as the fans were clamoring for fun, the third unpopularity came again. In the last match ending this morning Beijing time, the No. 7 seed and Italian handsome Beretini was in a mediocre form. American Jilon, who broke through the qualifying round, was closely tied to the score and fell into a tangled battle. The three plates also saw 7, and the Americans finally took the victory with 7-6(3)/6-7(0)/7-5.
After losing his debut, Beretini, who needed to reach the finals to get the year-end finals ticket, completely lost the opportunity to enter London for the second consecutive year. Goffin, who needed to win the championship, completely missed the finals.
is different from the three top 8 big seeds who lost their first appearance. Swiss star Wawrinka was not allowed to be unpopular. Although he encountered a small challenge in the first round, he still defeated British Evans 6-3/7-6 (3) and successfully advanced to the second round.
wins on the same day with the relatively easy win. Canadian Raonic , who fell straight to Slovenian Bedne in two sets; Italian Sonego easily defeated Kazakhstan Bublic 2-0; Serbian Kekmanovich defeated Australian Mirman, who had just won his first career championship in both sets 6-4/6-2.
Although Spanish star Busta and Frenchman Manarino both encountered a tiebreak in the first set, they still defeated German Struf and Serbian Rajovic in both sets and advanced together. There were four games left in the three sets that day, with Japanese Ryohito Nishioka, Frenchman Gasquit , Herbert and American Tommy Paul winning the final victory. South African cannon Anderson received a withdrawal gift from his opponent Serbian Jare when he led the first set.
Just as the Paris Masters were in progress, bad news came from the stadium. The Frenchman Mutet, who reversed Italian Caruso 2-1 in the first round, tested positive for the new coronavirus on November 3. He was therefore forced to withdraw from the second round of the competition and began to isolate and observe according to the epidemic prevention requirements of the event organizers. For Mutet's close contacts, further investigation will be conducted on the event and corresponding treatment will be made. As Mutet withdrew from the competition, his opponent, Croatian star Cilic , won without a fight and advanced to the third round. The new coronavirus is fierce, and other players participating in the competition should be extra careful!
Beijing time tonight, the Paris Masters will start the third competition day. The number one seed, Spanish god of war Nadal, will make his debut against his compatriot Philip Lopez. The kick-off time is about 1:30 am Beijing time tomorrow. If he wins, it will be Nadal's 1,000th victory in his career.
Russians Medvedev, Lublev, Germans Zverev, Argentina 170 Schwarzman and others will also play. The showdown between Croatian star Churic and Australian Thompson is also eye-catching. The winner between them will have a high probability of challenging the top seed Nadal in the next round.
