After a week of intense competition, three ATP events ended successfully last week. In the end, some people gained a lot, and some people equaled the historical record. The three players who won the championship were all homegrown winners, and look:
Dallas. The event, which is about to be upgraded to the 500 tournament, has 19 of the 28 seats in the main tournament occupied by local players. In the end, the No. 2 seed Paul defeated the best players from all walks of life to meet compatriot Geelong in the final. In addition, he won the Stockholm Championship a few years ago, which was the second title of his career, maintaining a 100% final winning rate. And my country's player Wu Yixuan, who is absent from the defense of the title, will face the risk of ranking first, and may become China's fourth brother, ranking out of the top 200.
Marseilles. Chinese fans pay more attention to Zhang Zhizhen's doubles championship. Indeed, he went one step further with his Australian Open partner Mahachi to win his first doubles title.
This time, the French occupied nine of the 28 spots in the singles draw, and although the first brother Annarino did not play, the fourth seed Ember, who beat the top two seeds Hurkacz and Dimitrov in the semi-finals and finals, ultimately kept the trophy in France.
He is one of France's top players and holds the record of winning five tour finals, becoming the eighth player in history to win all five tour finals. With the momentum he has had since the second half of last season, his break into the top 10 this year seems predictable.
Cordoba. In the first clay event of the new year, local players made up 50% of the draw, but it was two qualifiers who did not expect to meet in the final. In the end, Italy's 21-year-old Dardry defeated Bagnes to win the championship, and his five games on the way to the championship gave at least one churro or duck egg to his opponent, which can be said to be a very strong performance.
After carefully searching the life of Lower Dardry, he was actually born in Argentina, and there are still many relatives who remain in Argentina, but he chose Italian nationality instead. In this way, this championship is also "fertilizer and water do not flow into the field of outsiders".
Someone will be sad if someone reaps. Geelong is once again in second place, and the long-awaited Tour title is yet to arrive. Dimitrov also missed out on the good fortune of the Australian season at the start of the year, but with the current momentum, he still has a good chance of winning the lower divisions.
This week, Rotterdam, Deira Beach and Buenos Aires will be playing at the same time, so stay tuned for the winner! (*Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye).
