Not long ago, with Djokovic defeating the post-00 player and Italian Sinner in two sets in the final of the year-end finals, the praise for him was overwhelming. Indeed, whether it is in the Grand Slam, the Masters, or the year-end finals, Djokovic is a well-deserved GOAT!The author does not intend to add any pen and ink to praise here, because "Looking at the Masters alone, the four data prove that Deyo is worthy of the ATP tennis GOAT!".The article has made it very clear. However, as the saying goes, the years are like frost, and they gradually make people old. With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer post-80s players who are active in the tennis world. Many times, watching them still fight diligently on the tennis court and still run tirelessly, it seems that I and many netizens have the motivation to move forward again, so that we can better face any challenge.
Perhaps it was because of Djokovic's efforts that he was infected, so many post-80s players have also achieved good results this year, including British player Murray, who has won three Grand Slam championships, Swiss player Wawrinka, French player Mannarino, Monfils, Gasquet and others. For their performance, interested friends, you can take a look at the article "Lao Ji Fu Fang, 2023, these post-80s players declare with action, ordinary post-80s are still fighting". Recently, the author combed and found that there are two post-80s players, they are compatriots of each other, and they are both the same age, and what is more coincidental is that they have also spurred each other and encouraged each other in the past two years, and have achieved good results together. Speaking of which, you may wonder who these two players are. Don't worry, please read on with the humble article.
When it comes to Spanish men's tennis, many people think of Nadal and Alcaraz at first, and some even think of the name Busta. However, perhaps few people have noticed that former Wimbledon semi-finalist Agut is also a Spaniard. And the same age as him, and still a compatriot, is Ramos. Despite his age, Ramos is an out-and-out "little brother" when it comes to achievements. So far, he has not been able to reach the semi-finals at the Grand Slam and Masters, and in terms of the number of Tour titles, he is far behind Agutte.
Perhaps because of this, Ramos often asks Agut for advice outside of the game. And for the sake of his siblings, of course, Agut will also teach him. Of course, the counseling is often mutual. At times, Agut would occasionally ask Ramos for advice, and Ramos would also tell the "little brother" without reservation. Therefore, in the past two years, both of them have performed well.
In February 2022, Agut won his 10th career tour title at the ATP 250 Doha Open with a win over three-time Grand Slam champion Murray of Great Britain, Masters champion Khachanov of Russia, and former Chinese Open champion Baslashvili of Georgia. Perhaps to see his siblings in good form, Ramos also sang all the way to the ATP 250 Cordoba Open this month, lifting his fourth career tour title.
In May 2023, Agut met Peru's Barillas after defeating Chinese men's Wu Yixuan in straight sets in the first round of the French Open. In this game, Agut went down two cities first, and one foot has already stepped into the threshold of promotion. However, in the following match, Barillas defeated Agut in three sets in a row to reach the round of 32 of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. It was the heaviest defeat Agut suffered in the entire 2023 ATP Tour season. Agut has been summing up the reasons for this defeat, and he has informed Ramos of all these reasons. In July, at the ATP 250 Gstaad Open, Ramos lost one goal against Barillas. At this time, he remembered Agut's advice to himself. In the following game, Ramos made corresponding adjustments according to Agutte's instructions. The changes paid off, as Ramos won two sets in a row to win the game. He even reached his first tour final of the 2023 season here.
Of course, all of the above is just the author's personal speculation, however, tennis is actually a river and lake, compatriots and peers, and it is actually reasonable for Agut and Ramos to take care of each other. What's more, the two of them are still in the top 100 in the world. In the future, how will the two good brothers Agut and Ramos perform on the tennis court?Let's just pay attention to it silently.
