At the same time as the land of China celebrates the Spring Festival, after several days of fighting, the quarterfinals of Rotterdam, the first ATP 500 event of the season, have been announced. Let's take a look at the players in the "Eight Horses", and the specific matchups in the quarterfinals are as follows:
1] Sinner vs Raonic .
The top seed, who made his debut since winning the Australian Open, lived up to expectations, with Dutchman Van der Shanchop, who had faced the Australian Open in the first round, once again coming through the narrow road. In the second round, he faced the French veteran Monfils, who had rejuvenated his form and won Shapovalov in the first round, he passed the test again.
The next round was against former Grand Slam runner-up Raonic Raonic and the Canadian pulled off an upset with his first two-game winning streak in multiple seasons. However, facing the favorites to win the championship in this round, it seems that the rejuvenation journey will come to an abrupt end.
Grykspur vs Rusuvouri.
When the Dutch brother meets the Finnish brother, which brother is more skilled? The former defeated the world's top 10 Hurkacz in the last round and proved that he has the ability to assault on hard courts. The latter, on the other hand, has been tepid on the tour in recent years. Favor the Dutch brother to win.
6] Dimitrov vs Shevchenko.
The Bulgarian handsome man was not discouraged after losing to France's No. 1 Ember in the final of Marseille last week and missing out on his second title of the season. Hungarian star Vsovic, who won the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in the last round, once again advanced to the quarterfinals of the tour. This season, the 250 championship is in hand, do you dare to dream of a 500 again? In this arena, he has won the championship before!
Shevchenko, who has already become a naturalized Kazakhstan, proved his ability while beating the third seed Rune in this round and winning the world's top 10 for the first time. He also dreams of winning the Tour as soon as possible, just like his big brother Boblick.
5] Deminaur vs Rublev[2].
This is the most competitive match of the round, and the two are still fresh from the excitement of last month's Australian Open. At that time, De Minaur won two tie-breaks in a row, almost pushing Rublev into a corner. However, the tug-of-war also exhausted his physical strength, and he finally regretted being out in front of his hometown fathers.
There is also a big suspense in the quarter-finals, if De Minaur continues and Dimitrov stops, then Tsitsipas, who is not competing this week, will be in jeopardy. Can the Australian hare, who had already briefly entered the top 10 at the beginning of the season, continue to grasp this splashing wealth? Conversely, can Dimitrov continue his hopes and maintain the tradition of having SLR players in the world for more than a decade? These mysteries are waiting for us to reveal!
