No one in women’s tennis was better than Coco Gauff in early June.
Jouf stands at the Clay Stadium in Paris, raised a silver cup after winning the French Open, and the second main championship of the 21 -year -old profession and the first time an American won since Serena Williams in 2015.
Just three weeks later, chasing its second main title for this season, Gauff She did not come out of her opening match On the grass stadiums in Wimbledon. It was an amazing result – made one more surprising because it was not strange.
In general, 23 players made between men and women were beaten during the first round of Wimbledon, and was more than the current seed coordination in 2001. In addition to Gauff, who entered with the second highest seeds, women’s guards saw Jessica Peugeot’s third seeded loss. Their losses were first time since 1968, a turning point in the history of sport when professionals began to compete with amateurs in the main championships, which were removed from the two best three women’s seeds during the first round of the Grand Slam.
“This is the reason why tennis is the best realistic show on the ground,” said the former US open champion Andy Roddik Its pods Tuesday. “There is no text.”
Thirteen players ranked in the first round lost, and they tied a record in Grand Salamz, and four championships in prestigious sport. Carlos Alcaraz, 22 -year -old Spanish star who entered Wimbledon as a defender twice, but he needed five full groups to survive in his opening match, Recitation Statistics after a day after progress from the second round.
“It is a kind of shock,” said Al -Karaz. “Everything can happen on tennis, even in the first round.”
Like Caraz, another former hero, seven -time winner Novak Djokovic, is still alive in the individual slide of men. But their competitor was diluted. Among those who will lose in the first round is Alexander Zverev, the third seed, Lorenzo Mouteti, the seventh seed, Daniel Medvedev, and Daniel Medvedev, a former player in the first place and the United States Open.
When asked about the disturbance series, ZVEREv did not see a line that connects its match with mustti, medvedev and others.
“I don’t think tennis is the problem now for me.” He said yet A loss of a discount was Only 8-17 This season. “It is something else that I must find inside me at the moment.”
However, Roddec, who described the size of the turmoil as a “massacre”, and Gauff, left the opening rounds with the theories of why Wimbledon’s lot became full of turmoil that focused on style and timing.
“I would like to say the rapid shift,” said Jouf after leaving the first round. “I think most of the seeds are going deeper into Roland Garros, then spend a long clay season and then you have to come and adapt to the grass.”
In the annual tennis evaluation, the number of tournaments played on the grass are extremist values. This leaves a little time relatively comfortable to play on the surface, as the ball bounces and moves slower, before Wimbledon arrives. However, the best way to prepare for Wimbledon opens another wrinkles for players who must decide whether to play in the previous week in other installation tournaments on the grass but risk fatigue or whether they are comfortable.
Just 12 days after winning at Clay Stadium in Roland Garros in Paris, he played a hollow on the grass in Germany, and lost. After her defeat, she wondered whether she would play the same championship again due to the rapid shift.
“It is a difficult thing, and it seems that Carlos and Noveak are the ones who discover it and even (Alcaraz) had a difficult match in the first round,” said Jobv. “I really think this shift, I think, this comes out of everything … is the most discomfort just for the speed of the shift from clay.”
Although Gauf playing style is not especially suitable for success on Grass, Roddick in its pod was, the most shocking PEGULA loss was because it is. Peugeot Express came in Wimbledon just three days after winning another championship in Germany in Germany, which was the warm -up process for Wimbledon.
“This is what happens when you actually play tournaments outside the mono where everything is the same,” said Roddic. “… you allow different patterns in … that’s what we get. We do not get the initiative for six weeks as we get a set of data from (Championships in) Mont Carlo through Geneva that concerns predictions and knowing what is going on.
“I would like to say that there are less people know what they do on the grass, like truly Learn what they are doing, more than any other surface. “
