As in life, there is a dynamic flow in tennis, and the players who revise themselves by adapting to this flow are on the side of the winners.
For players living in a digital world where elements such as medicine, psychology, nutrition, and data science are highly developed, development and change are much easier than before. the Wimbledo 2023 was the tournament of the players who made these revisions correct.
“ I have a lot more physical disabilities and injuries compared to the past year, but I patiently accepted these developments that were out of control and focused on what I could do. Because even if you are physically in poor condition, you can win every game mentally, that's what I've done in the last two games ”. After the semi-final match ounce Jabeur explained how he made it to the final with these words. Tunisian tennis player makes great efforts to improve himself.
Other women are our finalists Marketa Vondrousova a special player with a style of 80-90 ’lar tennis and 2000 ’ years tennis, Czech player playing a more technical tennis, In the 2019 Roland Garros final, Ashleigh was desperate against Barty's hardness and at the end of the match “ This level came too much for me ” made his self-criticism.
Revising himself by overcoming injuries and adding stiffness to his game in the past four years, Vondrousova received the equivalent of his work by defeating Elina Svitolina, a very tough player in the semifinal. In Wimbledon, we eventually had a new champion in women, and at the end of the match a new name was written on the cup.
Today 9. Champion of the last 4 years to make the Wimbledon final Novak Djokovic is the biggest revision of the tour. Djokovic, who has made many changes in himself over the years, from nutrition to psychology and gaming technique, owes his 36-year-old high level to these revisions today. Everyone looks at the Serbian player with a little alien eye, but under Djokovic's success lies very human causes, these are revision, work and passion for the game.
Other men's finalist Carlos Alcaraz is also an actor who can transform himself easily, and can easily adapt to the newly formed conditions. The Spanish tennis player thus reached the levels that tennis players such as Zverev or Tsitsipas have not reached for years. Regardless of the outcome in the final match, one of the winners of this year Wimbledon will be Carlos Alcaraz.
Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka need to open a separate bracket. Murray 36, Wawrinka is 38 years old and they are still playing high-end tennis. Despite the fact that they have achieved all kinds of success in their past and the serious injuries they have experienced, they work hard and pursue tennis with passion makes them very special. Maybe they said goodbye in early rounds, but it doesn't matter, both players are a big role model for new generations.
Oppo Inspiring Player Award
American actress Chris Eubanks became the tennis player who won the “Oppo Inspiring Player” award given annually in Wimbledon. Eubanks, who has not been able to qualify for 4 years before, this year in the tournament quarter he achieved great success by playing the final. He lost to Medvedev in 5 sets in the quarter-finals and returned from the threshold of the semi-final. Eubanks, who won the award by receiving 70% of the votes among all candidates, actually won a very meaningful award.
Considering that the same award was received by Coco Gauff in 2019’, Emma Raducanu in 2021’, Carlos Alcaraz in 2022’, we can understand how important the award is. Eubanks also achieved this success at the age of 27 and became the oldest player to receive the Oppo Award.
Fashion store :
The Wimbledon Store under the No. 1 court attracts great attention. The store, where you can find all kinds of products related to the tournament, also has a separate importance in terms of adjusting the fashion trends of the tournament. You can also see players shopping frequently in the store. The star of this year is special production towels.
30 thousand units have been sold to date from the towels where pink is used together with green. Besides the white and green, the classic color of Wimbledon, pink will come to the fore in 2024 after more use and attention of pink in products. Kate Middleton's white jacket and sleeveless polo t-shirt, which she wears while playing tennis with Federer, are also among the most sold products.
A surprise champion :
The only women's final was played yesterday in Wimbledon, the third grand slam tournament of the season. Czech Marketa Vondrousova passed the Tunisian rival Ons Jabeur with 2-0 as a result of two sets of 6-4’ and reached the championship. Vondrousova, who won the first grand slam championship of her career, went down in history as the first female tennis player to reach the championship without a series head in Wimbledon history.
Ons Jabeur, who lost the final, lost the final match in this tournament once again after last year. The excitement of the single men's final will take place in London today. Novak Djokovic, number 2, with serial number 1 Carlos Alcaraz, will face the TSI at 16.00 ’, TRT Sports will bring it to the screens.
Wimbledon gastronomy :
Let's get out of the field and take a look at the more colorful sides of Wimbledon. Tribunes have a highly classy and high-end gastronomic flow. You have no chance to see the announcement of the match's referee ‘ Please do not pop champagne while the players are in service ’ in another tournament. Apart from the cort, there are picnic rituals on the grass or empty spaces.
This year's picnic menu; There is a sandwich or salad next to it as a main dish, popcorn or corn chips, and the famous Wimbledon strawberry for dessert. Especially strawberries are at this point as much as a tennis ball for years. A total of 2.5 million strawberries were consumed in the first 10 days.
If the players eat “Competitor's Restaurant ”, we can learn about the players' menus. First of all, all players love coffee and prefer chocolate or protein bars that are not very calorie. Banana is the first in fruit preferences, players consumed a total of 3.3 tons of bananas in 2 weeks. Meat dishes are a priority as a main course and meatballs made with a nutrient ( produced by fermenting tempeh ) soybeans as vegan nutrition are also very popular.
It is necessary to open a separate bracket to Andy Murray and his team about the kitchen. Because this team is a complete distant and sushi buff, the sushi menus are made by the chief cook, and the former champion is in a privileged state in this regard. Despite being very critical on the island, the royal family is truly a great color for the country.
For example, the royal loco in Central Kort is a separate world, the parallel universe of the menstrual tournament. Every morning, the guest list of the loco is given to the press, and many organizations are organized according to the weight status of the guests on the list. In terms of the British coinciding with the famous five tea hours, the afternoon matches are more precious, and the famous five tea rituals in the royal locus are epic to the languages. Wimbledon is already completely self hash A tournament with features, the concept of royal deepens this difference a little.
Differences :
Mirra Andreeva: Andreeva is just 16 years old and played the first grass court matches of her career in London. The Russian player came from the qualifiers he won three games and made it almost to the quarter finals in the main table. In addition to his compact play on the court, Andreeva reveals a different player profile with his original character. After the 4th round match, we will hear the name of Andreeva, who does not shake the hand of the referee, who does not like his decisions, and makes statements above his age at press conferences, in the coming period.
Elina Svitolina: Svitolina, who was a mother 10 months ago and returned to tennis this year, performed tremendously in Wimbledon after Roland Garros. Svitolina, who seemed to have caught her old hard and struggling tennis again, returned from the door of the final by playing the semi-final in London. Catching such high-end games in a very short time after the break to tennis is definitely a very special case... In this sense, the Ukrainian player also deserved the championship.
