The women's tennis world in 2014 opened with a lot of anticipation from fans, thinking that the prosperity of Vina Zasha would be further promoted, and Li Na would rise to the next level under the tutelage of Carlos and attack the world No. 1.
However, some unexpected trends and results have made this year a regret in the hearts of many people, and it has also become a watershed year for me to pay attention to tennis.
Concerns:Wella Zasha disintegrated, Ivan rejuvenated and Sava fought many times, WTA's short-lived savior Bouchard, and Koné killed Serena Williams three times.
In the 2014 Australian Open, dark horses were rampant and upsets came out one after another.
In the anticipation of the Chinese people, Li Na reached the Australian Open final three times and finally won the second Grand Slam.
Although Li Na has become the first tennis player in Asia with the 2011 French Open victory, based on the entire tennis world, there is a stronger symbolic difference between the second Grand Slam and the first Grand Slam - the first Grand Slam may be an upset, and the second Grand Slam means becoming a real powerhouse.
In fact, compared to Li Na's experience at the Australian Open, Chinese fans should have more confidence and confidence before the 2014 Australian Open final.
Since cooperating with Carlos, Li Na's various technical links have been significantly transformed and improved, and the competition style emphasizes more rotation, landing and control, gradually fading the shadow of "chicken blood and picking girls", revealing the domineering spirit of the king. In the winter training of 2013, Li Na also said that she practiced very hard.
After winning the Australian Open this time, everyone began to believe that Li Na, whom Carlos shouted early on, could become the world's No. 1, including Li Na herself.
Middle East season in February
In Doha, Halep, who won six titles in 2013, continued his upward momentum and easily defeated Kerber in two sets in the final to win the Super Five title for the first time.
In the Dubai race, Cornet defeated Serena Williams in the semi-finals, and everyone thought that Serena Williams was a normal match with a little trick. In the final, the sister avenges Serena Williams.
In March, he moved to the North American season
In the Indian Wells Crown Match, Sava fought hard in three sets in the third round and lost to Giorgi, who came out of the qualifying round. Li Na 1 4 finals met Cibulkova again, withstood the revenge of her opponent, and entered the semi-finals of the tournament for the first time. The semi-final defeat to Pennetta was a surprise. In the final, A-La continued the good momentum of playing Hazar at the Australian Open, defeating Pennetta to win the championship.
In the Miami Crown match, Li Na continued to play at a high level, defeating Woz 7575 in the 1 4 finals, and defeated Qi Bu in three sets again in the semifinals to enter the final. Serena Williams easily defeated the big maid Sava in the semifinals 6463.
In the final, Li Na's maid had a heart attack, and when she led 52 in the first set, she was reversed by Serena Williams, and finally lost to Serena Williams 57 16.
Clay season
Ivan began to bounce back after beating Serena Williams at the Australian Open, winning the title at Monterrey in early April and reaching the final at the Stuttgart Premier League in late April, where he lost to Sava for the second time of the season.
Li Na, who withdrew from Stuttgart with a left knee injury, made a comeback in Madrid in May and lost to Sava in the quarterfinals. Serena Williams also retired in the 1 4 finals due to a left leg injury. At this time, Sava had already turned into a clay master, seized the opportunity of Xiao Wei's absence, and defeated Li Na, Ala, and Halep all the way to win the championship.
In the second round of the Rome Super 5 match, Li Na won the 500th victory of her career, and Zhang Shuai also defeated Kvitova to bring surprises. In the third round, Sava and Ivan met again in a narrow way, and Ivan won with 6164 and finally entered the semi-finals, where he suffered Williams' revenge.
Li Na staged ups and downs"Debt repayment", 16-8 career first victory over Golden Flower bitter master Stosur, fans celebrated Li Na's promotion, and entered another career milestone moment. In the 1 4 finals, Li Na vomited after eating expired pasta, sent 52 mistakes, and lost to Errani, who had never lost.
Errani defeated Jankovic in the semi-finals and lost to Serena Williams in the final 0636.
French Open at the end of May
Li Na lost to Mladenovic outside the top 100 in the first round in three sets, which greatly reduced the morale of herself and her fans. Serena Williams was not spared, losing 2-6 in the second round to clay bitter Muguruza, who reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time.
Without Xiao Wei, Sava sang all the way, and there was no hindrance. Stosur, the eighth-delivered maid, defeated Muguruza in the 1 4 finals.
Bouchard, who had a mediocre record after the semi-finals of the Australian Open, was once again lucky enough to reach the semi-finals, and the highest-ranked opponent on the way to the promotion was only Miss Kerber on clay.
In the semi-finals, old and new beauties meet. Earn eyeballs. Bouchard's style of play, which was not familiar at the time, made Sava suffer a lot, running left and right. But the lack of absolute strength finally allowed the iron-willed Sava to carry the final victory and advance to the finals.
In the other half, Halep officially entered the ranks of the top players, reaching the final of a Grand Slam for the first time.
In the final, the opposing sides are one tall and one short. In the end, it was Sava who was stronger and more experienced, and had the blessing of the even-numbered Grand Slam championship buff, won the victory and lifted her fifth Grand Slam and second French Open trophy.
Sava, who used to laugh at himself as the "ice cow", with the decline of physical function, the ability to move, the ability to react quickly, and the speed of squatting and turning have decreased, and the competitiveness in other venues is not as good as before, but the red clay, which can be a high-point hard pick, has become the most suitable venue for the 188cm Shawa.
Under Thomas's tutelage, Sava also grew on clay, becoming the queen of clay, and the French Open became her most Grand Slam titles.
In the women's doubles field, Peng Shuai and Xie Shuwei won the women's doubles championship.
