The 2017 tennis season was a very unpredictable and a break to the old monotonus dominance of Novak Djokovic.This blog will analyse this year in tennis.
The year will be remembered because of the glory of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.Where Nadal managed to win the French Open and the U.S Open,Federer won the Australian Open and the Wimbledon.Very rightly Nadal and Federer finished number 1 and number 2 respectively.It was only after three years of dominance of Djokovic that we could see the vintage rivalry back.
But quiet unfortunately the other top players like Novak Djokovic,Andy Murray and Stanlas Wawrinka were out in major part of the season because of injury concerns.This really affected their rankings,Djokovic finished 12th,Murray 16th and Wawrinka 9th.This was quiet rare to see but when you are injured,one could hardly do anything.This is not all Nadal also got injured at the very end with a knee injury.
This means the oldest person on court is also the fittest at this moment.What do I say about Roger Federer.He is like an old wine ,gets better with time.The way he has handled himself is amazing and taking two grandslams at the end of the year is extremely delightful for his fans.I don't know how many sportspeson have the ability to make a comeback after resting for 6 months.His descisions at spot on and really helping his game.
Women's tennis was also full of surprises.With Serena Willams not on board,one could expect such things to happen.Maria Sharapova was also back after her ban and managed to win a tournament.
Finally if I had to summarise this year,I would say this was the year of injuries.It was a great opportunity for the young new tennis players to make a mark,but unfortunately very few were able to make it big.I hope the next year doesn't end up with injuries and also the big guns are back in the arena.If I have to pick the match of the year then it has to be the final of the Australian Open between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
