Three minutes a day to know the world's tennis affairs. Hello, fans, today is Monday, November 21, 2022. Welcome to listen to the Lunar Newspaper provided by "Tennis House".
Beijing time this morning, the 2022 season ATP Turin year-end finals came to an end. In the final final of men's singles, Djokovic performed well in the five-time champions of the tournament, suppressed Norwegian No. 4 Rude in the whole game, and did not send any break points. He finally won in straight sets 7-5 6-3, defeating five post-95 leaders in a row, and won the title of the sixth time in his career in the year-end finals.
After reaching the top as he wished, Djokovic tied the six-title record held by Swiss king Federer and ranked first in history. This is also the 91st championship in the career of the Serbian King of Football. Among the active players, it is second only to the Spanish God of War Nadal .
Not only that, Djokovic also broke the record of 30 years, 3 months and 12 days that Federer held, with an age of 35 years, 5 months and 28 days, and became the oldest men's singles champion in the year-end finals. At the same time, with a record of winning all five games, the huge prize of US$4.7403 million was won, breaking the single prize record of US$4.42 million set by former world number one in the women's singles and Australian Bati in the 2019 WTA Shenzhen year-end finals.
After receiving the highest event prize in the history of tennis, Djokovic's total prize money this season soared to US$9.333 million, suddenly surpassing the Spanish two-star Alcalas (7.655 million US dollars) and Nadal (6.738 million US dollars), and jumped to the top of this year's ATP bonus list. Djokovic's total career bonus has also accumulated to US$164 million, becoming the first player in history to have a total prize amount of more than US$160 million, leading the Spanish god of war Nadal, who ranked second, for $33 million. It can be said to be arrogant and arrogant.
After the year-end finals ended, the year-end world rankings for the 2022 season were also settled. Djokovic returned to the top 5 with his 1,500 points in the sixth championship in the finals; and Norwegian star Rude, who won the runner-up, also returned to third place after 800 points; Russian star Medvedev, who stopped in the group stage, fell to seventh place.
TOP10 and the points are as follows: 1. Alcalas (6820 points), 2. Nadal (6020 points), 3. Rud (5820 points), 4. Tsitsipas (5550 points), 5. Djokovic (4820 points), 6. Alyasim (4195 points), 7. Medvedev (4065 points), 8. Lublev (3930 points), 9. Fritz (3355 points), 10. Hulkac (2905 points).
In the men's doubles final held earlier, Ram / Sarisbry defeated Pavic /Mektic 6-4 7-6(4) and won the finals with a record of winning all five games, which is also their fourth men's doubles championship this season. The prize amount for winning the doubles in the finals is US$930,000, and the two people have to share the same amount. Each person's championship prize is less than one-tenth of the singles winning prize. This gap is really too big!
Let’s follow Chinese players Wang Xinyu . In the women's singles final of the 2022 ITF Tokyo W60 Tournament that ended at noon yesterday Beijing time, Wang Xinyu, a Chinese player who played as the number one seed, performed well, defeating the No. 2 seed, Japanese Uchijima Moeshita in three sets 6-1 4-6 6-3, and won the second ITF championship this season. With the 80 points won by the championship, Wang Xinyu's real-time world ranking rose to 87th, locking in next year's Australian Open singles main competition. Congratulations to her!
