Reborn Almighty Life
[0194] Invincible
On the day the Montreal Masters ended, the Cincinnati Masters also started, which was very compact.
The Cincinnati Masters was founded in 1899. There were only three years in its history when it was not held for some reason. Even during World War I and World War II, this wealthy city could still enjoy the joy of tennis.
As the twin events of the North American hard court season, Montreal and Cincinnati have always been inseparable.
In the Open era, only Agassi won two North American Masters trophies back-to-back in 1995.
In the original time and space, Roddick replicated this miracle in 2003, not only winning two consecutive North American Masters tournaments, but also winning the US Open, laying the foundation for the year-end No. 1 ranking.
Later, Nadal also achieved the feat of winning back-to-back titles in the North American Hard Court Masters. Montreal was even the lucky place to win the most hard court titles.
Since 2005, Cincinnati has become Federer's lucky place. He has won consecutive championships here, seemingly occupying the American player's former backyard!
Now that Gu Fei defeated Roddick in the final, this record that was about to be born has undoubtedly been cut in half.
However, Gu Fei also came up with the idea of setting a record by himself.
Therefore, from the first round of the Cincinnati Masters, Gu Fei's opponents felt Gu Fei's strong desire to win and aggressiveness!
The single victory that Gu Fei failed to win on the North American hard courts was to expand his lead in the ATP standings, leaving him without any points pressure.
Now, the betting company has gradually lowered the odds of Gu Fei winning the first place at the end of the year, because in his current state, it is difficult for him to have an avalanche of performance at the end of the year.
Although Gu Fei only arrived in Cincinnati on the first day of the competition, the top seed enjoyed some preferential treatment and only started his first round match the next day, facing the former world No. 1 Kuerten.
Since being upset and eliminated in the second round of the French Open, the Brazilian national treasure's condition has been deteriorating, and he has long since lost sight of his heroic appearance in winning the French Open three times.
Nowadays, the former king of Roland Garros has not been able to get a spot in the main draw of the Masters, and can only participate with the wild card given by the tournament organizing committee.
Facing the old lion, Gu Fei showed no mercy and succeeded in delivering an egg to Kurten in the first set. Even the commentator couldn't stand the bitter look on the former world number one's face!
"Gu Fei gave Kurten a blow as soon as he came up. The 6:0 score fully reflected the huge gap in status between the two people!" Zhan Jun had to sigh. Kurten, who was born in 1976, is still active, but
A group of players born in the 1980s have begun to compete for class power.
Of course, the huge score gap does not mean that Gu Fei has completely crushed Kuerten. At most, it is that Gu Fei's playing style is more suitable for fast hard courts.
In the second set, Kurten fought back hard and managed to save his two serve games. The score was 2:6, which fully demonstrated the one-sided situation on the court.
With the victory in the first round, Gu Fei's winning streak reached 29 wins. The media and industry insiders are analyzing when Gu Fei will be able to stop winning.
After the first round of adjustments, Gu Fei successfully extended Montreal's form to Cincinnati, making great progress all the way.
In the second round, Gu Fei's opponent was Coria, who had performed well in Europe some time ago. However, the score of 2:0 still showed that the Argentine clay court master's competitiveness in hard courts was average.
In the quarter-finals, Gu Fei's opponent was Youzhny, the 16th seed in the tournament. Gu Fei's victory was still easy.
After entering the quarterfinals, the high-ranking players have basically survived. Cincinnati is not a hotbed of unpopularity, which is completely different from the situation in Montreal.
Gu Fei, Ferrero, Roddick, Agassi, Federer, Safin, Novak and Henman, none of the top eight seeds were included.
Safin, who returned from injury, showed good competitive form and defeated his opponents cleanly in the first three rounds.
Safin is considered by experts and media reporters to be the most talented tennis player, and he was even higher than Federer in the ranking of successors to the world championship.
It's a pity that Safin's bad temper and poor emotional management ruined everything.
In the fourth round of the competition, Gu Fei faced the challenge of Henman, the pride of Britain, and easily defeated his opponent with two scores of 6:3 without any blood and advanced to the semi-finals!
The media seemed to have become accustomed to Gu Fei's invincible appearance. After the game, they only mentioned that Gu Fei's winning streak had reached 32 games.
For a time, the North American media intentionally or unintentionally focused on the upcoming US Open.
Because Sampras never played another match after winning the US Open last year, he has decided to announce his retirement at the start of the US Open.
In addition, Sampras's good friend and old rival Zhang Depei may also retire this year.
For a time, the US network's reports were flooded with themes of warmth, history and inheritance.
The media's pretentiousness did not stop Gu Fei from winning. His opponent in the semifinals was Agassi, who was in good form.
Faced with Agassi's sophisticated baseline tactics, Gu Fei did not just serve the ball and go to the net. Instead, he used long shots to convert the advantage and finally hit the fatal blow!
In the end, the scores of both sets were 7:5. After a hard battle, Gu Fei eliminated his opponent.
Being defeated by Gu Fei using his best method, Agassi was very unhappy and could only put down his words and wait for him in Lafayette Park!
Gu Fei, who had reached the finals, looked up at Roddick on the other side of the net and felt helpless.
Meeting the same opponent in two consecutive finals shows Roddick's outstanding form.
Sure enough, Roddick served fiercely as soon as he came up, and love game won his own serve!
Gu Fei felt calm in his heart. The final was changed to a best-of-five-set system. It was not easy to win.
The game between the two sides is simply a replica of the Montreal Masters final. Both sides must compete for every ball.
The TV station responsible for the TV broadcast hopes that there will be more fierce battles like this, which will be of great benefit to the promotion of the tennis industry.
Gu Fei, who was already familiar with Roddick's tactical play, quickly adapted to it. Whether it was a stalemate at the bottom line, or on the net, or through time, Roddick was miserable.
3:1, Gu Fei defeated local player Roddick in four hard-fought games and successfully won the North American Masters back-to-back.
"With Roddick returning the ball into the net, Gu Fei won the Montreal Masters and Cincinnati Masters in a row. Can he win the US Open in one go and create an unprecedented great record? Let's wait and see!" Zhan Jun told the audience!
Introducing the upcoming US Open, which has many interesting points and has attracted great attention from fans.
Gu Fei, who has set a winning streak, has also set his sights on the US Open!
