With the failure of the appeal of the world's no. 1 Djokovic, the Serb, who won the Australian Open men's singles crown nine times and participated in the competition for 17 consecutive years, completely missed the 2022 Australian Open. The Australian Open lasts for two weeks, and Deyo departed for Australia from January 4, and by the 16th, the appeal failed and he will be deported, and it is almost two weeks, and Deyo can be said to have experienced an "alternative Australian Open" trip. And the performance of the Australian government this time, how will it affect the next tennis competition this year?
A bloody visa farce finally came to the finale, Djokovic's Australian visa was cancelled, and the Australian Federal Court also supported the decision of the Minister of Immigration, which means that the nine-time champion will completely miss this year's Australian Open, and it also means that Djokovic wants to win the 21st Grand Slam title, thus surpassing Federer and Nadal's hopes, at least in this Australian Open.
Although Melbourne this year can not see Djokovic win 21 titles, but we still hope to see another person to achieve this achievement, that is, Nadal, as the only former champion in the current signing table, although in the odds of winning the championship is lower than Medvedev and Zverev, but with its deep championship heritage, as long as it has not been eliminated, Nadal will be a strong contender for the championship and a threat to everyone.
After losing to Djokovic in the semi-finals of his back garden french open last year and missing out on a chance to win 21 titles, Nadal watched As Djokovic won the French Open and Wimbledon in a row and tied the record of 20 titles held by himself and Federer, it seemed that Djokovic surpassed Fena and the two were already overwhelming. But the feng shui took turns, last year's US Open final, Deyo fell in the final battle to achieve the "Annual Grand Slam" and the 21st Grand Slam title, and this year, in this strange way, he did not have the opportunity to participate in his most successful Grand Slam, but let the opportunity be placed in front of Nadal.
If he can really conquer the back garden of Djokovic and win 21 crowns in the Australian Open with a "double full slam", then for Nadal, it is really a loss of the east, the harvest, and the Australian Open will be followed by his best French Open, if he can win the Australian Open, then return to Roland Garros Nadal will be more unstoppable.
And even if he can't win the Australian Open, as long as he stays healthy and gradually regains his form, Nadal is still expected to win his 21st crown at the French Open. So, whether Nadal wins the Australian Open or not, the next French Open will be crucial, it will still determine who will lead the Grand Slam titles between Djokovic and Nadal, and thus will also determine the best in history (GOAT).
Of course, the time bomb in front of Djokovic has not been lifted, and the Australian Open cannot compete because it has not been vaccinated, so what about the next competitions, especially the Grand Slams including the French Open? Although the French minister of sports has previously said that Djokovic can participate in the French Open without vaccination, at the same time, French President Macron has made the harshest warning to those who do not vaccinate, plus like Australia, France will also hold a general election this year, and the time is more than a month before the French Open, and no one can predict what kind of changes will occur at that time.
After the failure of the second appeal, Deyo said in a brief statement that he would take some time to rest and recover, and then make further comments, the outside world is expected to be after the Australian Open, we are difficult to speculate on what decision he will make, but if Deyo still insists on not vaccinating, it is conceivable that the public opinion environment he faces and the prospects for participation will be difficult.
Especially after the Australian Open has successfully implemented such a strict vaccine mandate, more events are not ruled out, especially the large number of grand slams will follow, and Djokovic must make a trade-off between sticking to his ideas and temporarily compromising in order to achieve his goals, and given that he will turn 35 in May this year, there is not much time left for him to consider.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, by the end of this year's French Open or the second half of the year, the global epidemic has slowed down, and most countries have canceled lockdown orders and vaccine injunctions, in that case, the problem of Deyo may be solved, which is of course a good thing for everyone, but I don't know if everyone can get what they want?
Zhang Bendou: Five thought questions left by Deyo
Djokovic flew to Australia on January 4 and left Australia overnight on January 16. In the past ten days, how many things have happened. Calm down and think about it, everything is too magical.
In this war, there is no winner. Looking back at the causes and consequences of this incident, it is no longer meaningful; it is worth talking about a few points to face the future, and everyone can think and discuss together.
·The image of the Australian Tennis Association and the fate of Taili ·
Woodford, one of Australia's "double brothers", said in an interview on the 16th that the Australian Internet Association should not have told Djokovic that he met the criteria for medical exemption at the beginning. According to Canadian player Pospihill, Djokovic did not have plans to participate in the Australian Open at first.
First find a way to invite Deyo, things are seriously out of control after the basic play disappeared, and now a statement of "the Australian Tennis Association respects the supreme court's decision" is over, and the role of the Australian Tennis Association in this incident is not glorious. As for the Australian Open tournament director Terry, he is recognized as very capable and has been highly respected in the circle before, and this incident has also greatly affected his image.
Remember your previous australian open name? Happy Slam, that's a "Happy Slam"...
Will The German Treaty be restricted from entering Australia for the next three years? ·
The current argument is that it is still possible to enter the country under certain special conditions. No matter how many fans clamor for a permanent boycott of the Australian Open by The Covenant, you must face it, this is where Djokovic harvests the most Grand Slams; from the perspective of competing for grand Slam laurels, it is already a big loss not to be able to compete this year, not to mention the possibility of catching up in the next three years? Considering that Deyo's age is not small, if he can't participate in the next three years, it will basically be a complete farewell to this event.
This problem can only be seen in a year. Of course, it is also related to whether Djokovic can win a Grand Slam this year. American player Rubin said, "If Novak breaks the record for a Grand Slam title this year, you'd better believe he doesn't want to set foot on Australian soil for a while and a half." ”
· How to deal with the three Grand Slams and Djokovics this year? ·
ATP has just released a statement, a total of three paragraphs, the last paragraph is a single sentence into a separate paragraph, "ATP continues to strongly recommend that all players be vaccinated." ”
It is too difficult to travel around the world smoothly without vaccination. Djokovic and the team really need to think hard about how to face the long schedule that follows. When the year of fighting can not be played as much as you want, is not a long-term solution.
The reporter has also analyzed whether Deyo's Australian Open road can be passed, which has a certain vane significance for the events after this season, although the national conditions are of course different. Today, melbourne's road has not worked. So, where will his 21 grand slam crowns be? What once seemed like a target was suddenly uncertain.
· GOAT's Accreditation Criteria·
I've always been a relatively firm "data faction" – mainly looking at the number of Grand Slam titles, and then looking at the number of weeks in the world, without having to talk about those who don't have ones.
But this incident is too special. One who was disqualified from a Grand Slam tournament once in a year and a half plus was deported and did not have the opportunity to participate in a Grand Slam once, although hitting the line trial was a mistake and the protagonist of this farce was several parties, but the huge damage to Deyo's public image has been caused.
This can't help but make people rethink the connotation and criteria of the word "greatest" in the word GOAT. Deyo is undoubtedly the data GOAT, but it can also be said that he has not done as well as the other two 20 Grand Slam winners in terms of becoming the sport's more positive ambassador.
·The attribution of the world's first·
First of all, the conclusion: if Medvedev or Zverev can win the Australian Open, it will also become the new world number one.
Although Djokovic bid farewell to the 2022 Australian Open, this is tantamount to a question left by his absence: Do you want to become the world number one? It's not that easy, just use the championship trophy to prove that you deserve it.
Of course, the world's first is no longer the main goal of Deyo, and I am afraid that it is not a topic he is currently concerned about.
This drama, as the ATP statement said, "a series of deeply regrettable events", has finally come to an end. Live for a long time, the 2022 season actually started like this; I don't know what else the tennis world will experience this season.
Anyway, let tennis return to tennis, and then enjoy the two-week Australian Open 2022!
