　　In the early morning of June 14th, Beijing time, the 2021 French Open ended in the men's singles final.

The tournament's top seed Djokovic pulled 3 sets in a row after losing 2 sets, reversing the tournament's 5th seed, Greek teenager Tsitsipas, and won his second French Open men's singles championship.

This is also his 19th Grand Slam championship.

　　Judging from the results of recent events, the current men’s singles has not yet completely ended the "Big Three" rule of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer, but the three of them all over 34 years old are somewhat powerless-Federer early After retiring, Nadal stopped in the semi-finals, and Djokovic's championship performance is also difficult to reproduce the strong past.

　　Since 2019, the new generation of players such as Medvedev, Tim, Zverev Jr. and Tsitsipas have been full of impact.

In the French Open semi-finals, Tsitsipas eliminated Zverev Jr.; in the finals, although Tsitsipas fell short in the end, it has fully proved its impressive strength.

　　In addition, although Medvedev, born in 1996, stopped in the top eight, he is still one of the best men's singles players born in the 90s in recent years.

　　In November last year, Medvedev won the Paris Masters first, and then won the world's top three Djokovic, Nadal and Tim in the ATP year-end finals.

In February of this year, Medvedev helped Russia win the ATP Cup and reached the second Grand Slam final of his career at the Australian Open.

　　Compared with the men's singles "giant" want to leave, the world's women's tennis has completely entered a "competitive beauty" situation.

　　In the women's singles final of the French Open, Czech player Kregickova defeated Russian player Pavlyuchenkova to win the title.

Both Kregitkova and Pavlyuchenkova are considered the "dark horses" of this French Open.

The two of them have never reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam women's singles before, and Kregitzkova has never even entered the semi-finals of a Grand Slam women's singles before.

　　Krejitzkova is 25 years old and currently ranked 33rd in the world, reaching the final as an unseeded player.

Pavlyuchenkova ranks 32nd in the world and is the 31st seeded player in the tournament.

　　Think of the unseeded player Svyatke winning the French Open women's singles championship last year. For two consecutive years, the French Open women's singles championship was won by unseeded players.

If you look farther, this is the sixth consecutive year that the French Open has ushered in the rookie championship.

　　Since 2016, from Muguruza, Ostapenko, Halep, Batty, Svatek, to this year's Kregitkova, they have all won the first career in Roland Garros. Grand Slam champion.

Some analysts believe that the French Open women's singles field has produced new champions for many years, indicating that after Serena Williams stepped down from the throne, no player with absolute strength has been born in the women's tennis.

　　Since last year, due to the suspension of the season and the cancellation of some events due to the epidemic, the pattern of international tennis has also quietly changed.

The men's singles "Big Three" were strongly challenged by rising stars, and the women's singles "dark horses" came out one after another, and the "post-giant era" of international tennis is about to emerge.

　　However, the performance of Chinese players in tennis in recent years has not been ideal.

This year's French Open women's singles, Chinese players Zheng Saisai and Wang Qian both stopped the second round.

After Li Na retired, the Chinese women's tennis team lacked the leadership of star players and lacked talent reserves.

　　Some commentators believe that because there are currently no absolute dominant players in the women's singles event in tennis, Chinese players should improve their strength as soon as possible during this period of opportunity, seize the opportunity to get out of the trough, and strive to cultivate a new "dark horse."
