Chapter 232: The Heavenly King Who Doesn't Give Up
In the top half of the U.S. Open, Lee's opponent in the semifinals was Federer. Fastest updates
As for the bottom half, Li Cai originally thought that Murray and Djokovic would reach the semifinals, and then fight for tickets to the final and become his opponent in the US Open final.
Djokovic won two consecutive titles last year, and even became the world No. 1, and can be said to be one of the brighter tennis players than Nadal and Federer.
In his previous life, Djokovic won three Grand Slams, which was even more dazzling than now, but Li Cai divided half of the Grand Slams, the same as the Grand Slam he won in one year, plus the reason for his age, made Li Cai pay more attention.
And this year, Li Cai is even more out of control, Djokovic after this year's French Open, and the bad luck brought by the system, is really unlucky all the way, was eliminated early in the Olympics, did not get a medal, and in this US Open, in the quarterfinals, actually lost to the fifth seed Ferrer, missed the semifinals.
It's fair to say that Djokovic didn't get a little bit of a good result in the ATP tournament in the second half of the year.

"Li Cai's tactics are to play in the first eight rounds of each game, all of them are playing in my rhythm, on the surface it seems that the two sides are playing equally, but in fact, Li Cai is constantly adapting to my rhythm, so in the first eight rounds of the fight is about the same, this is Li Cai deliberately revealed an illusion to me, paralyzed me, and then broke out at a critical moment, and then I was caught off guard and was broken when I was not prepared. ”
Thinking of this, Federer could only sigh in his heart: "Li Cai's talent is really strong, it is already so strong, or is it because I am old." ”
"No, I can play again, I'm not old, as long as I can play, I won't give up. Federer swore secretly.
