Why did Wimbledon set the seed record?

The last time the number of seeds was eliminated before the third round of Grand Slam was so much Roland Garros 2020 with 35 people. This time, Wimbledon's figure is not only the most history of the tournament, but also in the opening era of Grand Slam. Another sad record of Wimbledon is 23 seeds on the beach alone, including champion candidates like Alexander Zverev and Coco Gauff.

There has been no Grand Slam since the 1968 opening era witnessed many fallen seeds like Wimbledon this year. Those who are quickly eliminated to indicate objective causes of the yard, glossy and weather. Denis Shapovalov's 27 men's seeds were angry because the pitch was too slow, affecting his serve. "This yard is slower than the ", Canadian player complains after being eliminated in the first round. But being affected by the hotter more than 32 degrees Celsius on the opening day - the hottest day of the tournament history. The Neil Stubley yard manager said the yard would be slower because the hay clinged to the shadow. To overcome, Stubley's group used chemicals to make the grass wet. In fact, Wimbledon grass is always cut with the same length of 8 mm every morning. In the first week, the yard will achieve the best state because it has not been plowed much. "Maybe it's a bit slower but we still find a way to earn an advantage." The host of the landlord Daniel Evans also confirmed that the yard was not slower. He said: "" I guarantee Djokovic's shots towards me with no decline at all. ". Last month, the players played on the ground surface much slower, the ball was swirled and higher. The weather at that time was only 10 degrees C.

The sudden change in the condition of the game explained why only six male players in the history of winning "Channel Slam " - Wimbledon and Roland Garros of the same year. And no female tennis player has done this since Serena Williams 10 years ago.

The number two Single Single Single Coco Gauff after losing the opening round also acknowledged this reason. She said: "Wimbledon is always the most sudden prize because it changes too quickly from the ground to the pitch.

Seed No. 13 Amanda Anisimova looks more positive. She said that the reason is really simple, that is the level of the players narrowed. Low -ranked players always have great motivation in Grand Slam, not only by the bonus but also by the shocks here are always remembered for a long time. "You always feel surprised can happen here," she said. "The gap between good people and people is not quite large anymore." "Except for Alcaraz and Sinner, the number or number of four worlds now is no more than the rear group. Even the 80 or 90 -standing players can make you miserable. When I start my career, the Top 10 in the world completely outperforms the rest. Now that is no more ".
