Copa Masters – ATP Finals Murray, Dimitrov, Zverev and Tsitsipas stalled after winning in London
Lhe Masters Cup has crowned a new master for the fifth year in a row, in this case Daniil Medvedev. Nobody repeats since Novak Djokovic did it in 2015. Previously, the Serbian had won in 2008, 2012, 2013 and 2014. A l le siguieron Andy Murray (2016), Grigor Dimitrov (2017), Alexander Zverev (2018) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (2019).
The curious thing about the last four champions is that the triumph that should serve as a springboard for the following season ended up making them disappear.
Murray, who finished four years ago as the best tennis player on the planet, was never the same again, also conditioned by his injuries, especially his hip. He accumulated 44 wound as a professional and only added two more: Dubi (2017) and Antwerp (2019).
Dimitrov, whom everyone nicknamed the ‘baby Federer’, because of the tenstic similarity with the Swiss genius, I was left staking after lifting the ATP Finals trophy. Since that distant victory over David Goffin, he has not moved his tournament win list again. I was anchored in eight.
He has been more of a protagonist off the slopes than on the inside, being the first player infected with coronavirus on the Adria Tour organized this summer by Djokovic.
Zverev relieved Dimitrov at the palmars and he didn’t fare much better. With the pending subject of winning a Grand Slam, he reached the final of the US Open 2020, Things were bad for him last season and he had to look for a shock in the figure of David Ferrer, his current coach and whom he always admired.
He won a single title in the exercise defending the master’s crown. It was in Geneva, a minor tournament that serves as a preparation for Roland Garros because it appears on the calendar the week before the Grand Slam of the land.
The German is involved in constant polemic. His last ex-girlfriend has announced that she is expecting a son from the tennis player, but that she does not want to know anything about him. And former player Olya Sharipova has reported mistreatment during their relationship, both physical and emotional.
For your part, Tsitsipas He has become so hooked on his character that he has become a celebrity on social media, especially since hanging out with fellow NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo. He gave up the master’s scepter when he fell to Rafael Nadal in the group stage.
He dismisses this campaign with a single victory at the Open 250 in Marseille. It remains to be seen how Medvedev’s teacher’s jacket fits. It is certain that the euphoria will not be able to him because he just celebrated the triumph. Cold as ice, he just walked over to the net to greet Thiem, the other finalist.
Gilles Cervara’s pupil return to his Monte Carlo residence to start the preseason. There will be no celebrations in Russia where it remains little known. All the irregularity of much of the course has turned into dominance when the last indoor hard court tour has arrived. Camp at Bercy and the London Masters, the question is who stops him.
