Wimbledon returned to the arena for the first time after winning the championship, Serbian King Djokovic gave the outside world a great surprise. After more than two months of unrest in the arena, Djokovic not only did not have any downward trend, but was still brave and won consecutive single and doubles in the Laver Cup, which made people have to look at the giant Djokovic with admiration.
Outside originally thought that after Federer officially retired at the end of the Laval Cup, the original three men's net giants now only have Nadal and Djokovic. The next men's tennis will be the battlefield where the two giants Djokovic and Nadal continue to fight. Unexpectedly, Nadal announced his withdrawal due to injury just played a doubles game. Thinking of his poor state in the Laval Cup, people can't help but worry about his future.
If Nadal cannot return to the arena at his best, then who in the men's tennis world is likely to become Djokovic's biggest opponent? Who would cause enough trouble for the Serbian king in the Grand Slam field to even prevent him from continuing to win the Grand Slam championship trophy?
The first person that comes to mind is Alcalas , who just topped the men's tennis world with the top scorer in US Open .
0 The US Open's victory, judging from the current situation, it has indeed given Spanish teenagers a strong confidence. When Alcalas talked about his feelings after becoming the world number one, he admitted that he no longer felt psychologically stressed and could not bear it as before, and now everything is feeling great.
In addition, for the expectations of future Grand Slam champions and the long term of the world, Alcalas did not hide his current ambitions, and bluntly stated that he would win more and more Grand Slam champion trophys and stay on the throne of the world's number one for a long time. In the eyes of the outside world, Alcalas, such as
, has obviously no doubt that it has become Djokovic's next biggest opponent.
However, after the Laval Cup, when Djokovic was asked about this question in an interview, the answer of the Serbian king disappointed many people. Djokovic did not say that Alcalas would be his next biggest opponent as expected.
"Nadal is still there, right? As long as he is still playing, my biggest opponent is Nadal." Although Djokovic's words surprised some people, if you think about it carefully, the words of the Serbian king are really very reasonable.
Although Nadal's Lavo Cup journey this year is not perfect, and he even played stumblingly, anyone familiar with Nadal knows that the state of the Spanish God of War does not require the outside world to worry about his current injury. In the words of a celebrity in the tennis circle, Nadal's career has always been fighting against injuries, and his performance on the court has never been related to injuries.
In addition, Djokovic and Nadal have faced up to 59 careers, and have met in the Grand Slam alone for up to 18 times.
If Djokovic calls Nadal his biggest opponent in terms of the number of matchups, it is really not an exaggeration to say that Djokovic calls Nadal his biggest opponent. After all, the biggest opponent is largely a lifelong enemy. It can be said that the competition between Djokovic and Nadal has really run through three important periods of early, midday and late careers of the two. The two are opponents and achieve each other, which makes everyone see that the two giants in the tennis world are fighting the most fierce competition in the best competition in history.
Djokovic once said that if Nadal and Federer had not inspired him, he might not have been fighting in the men's tennis world and would have chosen to retire long ago.
In contrast, Alcalas has only played against Djokovic once so far in this year's Madrid Masters .
Although Alcalas is now full of infinite confidence in his future and strength, if he wants to become Djokovic's current biggest opponent, he still needs to prove himself in more competitions. That is to say, whether it is the Masters, ATP year-end finals and the Grand Slam, you must become a regular visitor who is different from Djokovic in order to talk about his biggest opponent of the Serbian king. Alcalas, who has just made a name for himself in the men's tennis world, obviously does not meet this condition.
Another thing that needs to be emphasized is that Alcalas has only won one Grand Slam championship at present. Even though he is still eyeing the Grand Slam championship, in Djokovic's eyes, Nadal is still his core rival on the road to winning the Grand Slam championship. Because even if Alcalas wins the Grand Slam championship again, it will not have an impact on the best goal he has pursued in history. Nadal is not the case. In terms of the best dispute in history, both Nadal and Djokovic are their strongest opponents. (Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of the Moon River)
