A new season of sports
Challenges and opportunities for post-90s tennis players: the road to mentality.
i.Background.
With Sinner's first Grand Slam victory, the tennis world has once again focused on the new generation of post-90s players, raising concerns about the future prospects of this generation of players. They are expected to be high, but compared to the post-80s giants, the performance of the post-90s players in the Grand Slam arena pales in comparison, and one can't help but wonder, do they still have a chance?
ii.The current situation of post-90s players.
The representative figures of the post-90s generation include Thiem and Medvedev, who have won a Grand Slam, and Tsitsipas and Ruud, who have reached the final many times. However, their performance in the Grand Slam arena was not as good as it could be. Compared with the post-80s giants, the post-90s players lack dominance in the Grand Slam arena, fail to achieve a monopoly on the event, and their achievements are relatively bleak.
Although Thiem won the French Open and Medvedev won the Australian Open, they still fall far short of the number of Grand Slams compared to Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. In addition, the post-90s players have not performed well in other Grand Slam tournaments, often suffering defeats at critical moments, resulting in the inability to win the championship at critical moments.
iii.Comparison of post-90s players and post-00s.
Compared with the post-00s, the post-90s players also failed to show a significant advantage. Although they have talent and skill, they have a clear lack of mentality. The lack of mental quality in the likes of Sinner led to their poor performance at key moments and missed many opportunities.
In recent years, the rise of the new generation of post-00s players such as Sinka and Alcaraz has added pressure to the post-90s players. These young players have excelled in the Grand Slam arena and are expected to become the dominant force in the tennis world of the future. At the same time, the post-90s players gradually lost their advantage in the competition with the post-80s giants and were forced to face greater challenges.
iv.The key role of mindset.
Mentality has become a key factor in the plight of post-90s players. Sinner's success in winning the championship shows that mentality plays a decisive role when faced with desperate situations and opportunities in a major tournament. However, post-90s players generally lack this kind of decisive psychological quality, resulting in weakness at critical moments and missed opportunities.
In Sinner's case, he kept his cool despite losing two sets in a row in the final, improving his serve and eventually winning the match. This kind of mental stability and calm performance is what the post-90s players lack, and it is also one of the reasons for their repeated defeats in the Grand Slam arena.
v.Conclusions and prospects.
Post-90s players face challenges and opportunities. They need to recognise the importance of mentality in the game and work hard to overcome the mentality problem. Only by constantly improving the psychological quality can we achieve better performance in the competition. Although the current situation does not look optimistic, as long as they can solve the mentality problem and find a development direction that suits them, the post-90s players still have the opportunity to achieve more in the future.
vi.Epilogue.
Post-90s tennis players face great challenges, but they also contain great opportunities. They need to recognise the critical role of mindset in the game and work hard to overcome the mental barriers. Only in this way can we truly transcend the post-80s giants and the post-00s new generation and show their own brilliance. In the future, I hope to see more post-90s players achieve better results because of the change of mentality, bringing new vitality and hope to the tennis world.
