The Laver Cup has become the new mold cup: all 5 famous players who have just finished playing are out of the first round this week!

The new mold cup will be retired, and the new star will be promising

The 2024 high-profile tennis event "Laver Cup" has come to an end. The star-studded team event was fierce until Alcaraz's European team defeated the world team to win the title. But the show continues, and these top players are driving to Japan for the Open, so let's take a look at their performances.

The veteran stars with a strong lineup all suffered heavy defeats in the first round without exception, as if announcing the end of the change of times. This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for the rising new generation of players, who will have the opportunity to show their strength on a higher stage and prove their quality.

First, let's talk about Tabilo as a rising star. He made his World debut at the Laver Cup in Berlin this year and also helped the team to victory in the doubles competition. He then traveled to the Japan Open, where he showed his tenacity in the first round against a strong Denmark veteran Rune. After a tight three-set battle, Tabilo narrowly defeated his opponent 6-2 5-7 6-4 to advance to the second round. This is undoubtedly a good start, and it makes people look forward to his future development prospects.

Let's talk about Norway's veteran Ruud. As a veteran Laver Cup participant, he performed well for the European team in this year's team competition, achieving a good result. However, when he moved to the Japan Open, he was challenged by Thompson of Australia in the first round and lost 7-6(5) 6-1 and had to go home early. We can see that the veteran is not as good as he used to be, and it is likely that he is gradually coming back to the top.

Let's talk about Greece's good Tsitsipas. Seeded fourth in the Japan Open, he met promising United States Michelson in the first round. Tsitsipas still had the advantage in the opening game, taking a 6-4 lead. But then his performance dropped significantly, and Michelson took advantage of the win to win the second set 4-6 6-1 6-2. Tsitsipas' recent ups and downs in form have clearly affected his performances and will be interesting for the future.

Let's talk about Serbia's Tiafoe. He played well in the Laver Cup, beating Medvedev in singles. However, after entering the Japan Open, Tiafoe was challenged by local player Brandon Nakajima in the first round and eventually lost 2-0. This was undoubtedly an accident and showed that Tiafoe still has some instability in the tournament. I'm sure he'll learn from this defeat and be well prepared for next season."

Finally, let's talk about the rising star of United States, Fritz. He made history at this year's US Open and became the leader of the Laver Cup World Team. In Berlin, Fritz showed great quality, but was defeated in the final against Alcaraz. Then at the Japan Open, he met rising star Fez, also from United States, in the first round and lost 6-4 3-6 6-3 after a three-set battle. Although the exit is regrettable, Fritz's overall performance is still excellent, and I believe that he will shine on a higher stage in the future.

From the above analysis, it can be seen that the old stars have encountered a collective Waterloo in front of the new stars. This is undoubtedly a major turning point in the world of tennis, announcing the dawn of a new era. We can foresee that these up-and-comers will make a big splash in future events. Let's look forward to seeing them achieve great results in the coming seasons and breathe new energy into the tennis world!
