In 2003, Federer won his first Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon. In 2004, he reached world No. 1 for the first time after winning the Australian Open. In 2009, he completed a career Grand Slam at the French Open. In 2017, he defeated Cilic in the Wimbledon final to become the first player to win the men's singles title at Wimbledon eight times.

Sabalenka's First Show 6-0! She Advances with a Bagel Victory, While Zheng Qinwen Struggles to Overcome Her Nemesis, Making the Australian Open Championship Seem Challenging Is Sabalenka truly invincible? Does Zheng Qinwen stand a chance to break the curse in front of this "hard court queen"? As major tournaments approach, the tennis world always becomes suspenseful due to such thrilling "possibilities." At the beginning of the 2025 season, the clash between the strong and the rising stars has become one of the biggest highlights of this stage. On one side is the fiery and fully present Sabalenka, while on the other is the Chinese rising star Zheng Qinwen, who harbors ambitions but has yet to overcome her "nemesis." This contrast is not only striking but also a focal point of contradiction that cannot be overlooked by all tennis enthusiasts. In the 2024 season, Sabalenka delivered an incredibly brilliant record—winning the Australian Open, the US Open, and being named the WTA Player of the Year at the end of the year. These titles may seem glamorous, but they were not achieved overnight. It should be noted that this Belarusian powerhouse was once controversial for emotional outbursts and inconsistent serving. It was through the meticulous operation of coaches and psychological teams that she transformed from a talented player into a comprehensive technical dominator on the court. Interestingly, hard court events have become her "golden path." The data does not lie: In the Grand Slams and tour events of 2024, Sabalenka, with her powerful first serve scoring ability, always managed to exert endless…
