Sharp Review Final Acre Super Reversal Sinner: Acre broke the will of the gods with a mortal body

"When the walls of logic crumble, the vines of faith climb up from the cracks until they obscure the entire sky of reason."

To me, Sinner and Alcaraz are like two opposite sides of tennis, they are like two different selves as described in Winning with a Winning Mindset. Sinner, more like that "ego 1", calm, calm, and rational, but Sinner is more cold-blooded and more cruel, his defense is as indestructible as steel, and his willpower makes opponents feel terrified; But Alcaraz is more "real", he is more like "Self 2", he has ups and downs, fluctuations, emotional breakdowns, and the inability to execute his will, compared to Sinner, he is more like a "mortal", a mortal with flesh and blood and emotions.

1. Sinner – a ruthless tennis machine

In the first two sets of this match, Alcaraz didn't have anything to do.

Sinner's performance was almost perfect, he used his iron will and perfect technology to forge the copper wall of the bottom line, his calmness was terrifying, and he even made people not see where his "limit" was. In the face of such a Sinner, although Alcaraz also tried to find clues that could break the game in the web woven by Sinner, however, Sinner's hitting was as accurate as a machine, and his calculations were like a cold blade, showing no flaws.

Sinner's performance resembles the "mask of the perfect personality" depicted in Jung the Sorcerer. He's indestructible, he doesn't even make people feel his mood swings, and at one point, he even feels like he's omnipotent, and his field coverage and stability are jaw-dropping, such Sinner is terrifying.

Compared to Alcaraz's struggles in the first two sets, the two are like the fierce struggle between the ideal "superhuman self" who never makes mistakes and the "real self" that fluctuates in reality.

Second, Jingwei reclamation, Yugong moved mountains, as far as it can be, never retreat

From the third set, there was a subtle turn.

Alcaraz gave off in the face of adversity, similar to the situation after falling behind a set in the semi-finals, when Sinner used reason to build an immensely strong defensive wall, Alcaraz bombarded everything with the most primitive force.

Alcaraz forced Sinner out of his comfort zone, where he excelled, and bent his knees on clay, draining his mechanical energy reserves and concentration. All of this is just like Jingwei knocking on the sea with micro-wood, silently and tenaciously eroding the fortress of reason that Sinner has worked so hard to build.

But Sinner's attack continued, and although Alcaraz stubbornly dragged the match into the fourth set, the balance of victory began to tip and Sinner held three championship points, and the weight of fate seemed to have weighed heavily on the side of the abyss.

Confessed? No! Never! When Alcaraz's inner "magician" was completely awakened, he had already left the victory behind him, and at the moment he was fully focused, and all the returns were in his calculations.

Jung pointed out in Jung the Wizard that true courage comes from confronting the abyss of the heart rather than running away from it. In the face of the desperate situation of match point, Alcaraz did not avoid the shadow of fear, but threw fear itself into the crucible of the soul, looked at it directly, and faced it without a trace of fear and evasion. When he reversed every match point one after another with his eyes like a torch, he not only smashed the cage of reason with his own will, but also crushed the will of God with his mortal body!

3. Rekindled fighting spirit? The belief of victory! When Akazen's mind is settled, he is already selfless!

The blow of missing three late points left Sinner a little discouraged in the deciding set, but during the break, Sinner responded to his team with a look in his eyes, "I can still do it." Drinking frantically and picking up the racket firmly, Sinner went back to the ring for the last time!

When the will of human beings is above the physical body, the human world becomes a field of Shura in hell, and the battle of trapped beasts is far more exciting than that of beast sumo!

When the world number one rekindled his belief in winning and broke Alcaraz's serve in the deciding set, the game turned around again! When Sinner led 6-5, Alcaraz awaited an army of urgency, more like being pinched by the throat. The tense nerves made the mind come to the ground nowhere, 0-30, 30-30, at the most critical moment, when Sinner used a strong attack to win the fourth match point, Alcaraz used a perfect anticipation to cross a perfect arc in the air and fell back into bounds, and finally closed the point with a backhand slash.

This is the second time that Sinner is closest to victory, but Alcaraz completely broke Sinner's psychological defense with his determination to win, and there was a crack in the ladder built by God, and Alcaraz actually rewrote the "Mandate of Heaven" with his own will!

As the match dragged into the tiebreaker, Sinner's sophisticated machine of will had worn out over a long period of attrition, but Alcaraz's brain grew clearer under the pressure, knowing the path of the ball like the moon in an ancient well. The disparity of 10-2 is the light that blooms after the brain's concentration and decision-making ability are tempered under extreme pressure.

In this final, Alcaraz used his mind and skills and tactics to overcome himself and break through the limits of his body, especially when Alcaraz accidentally fell on a volley in the fourth set, and his fingers were bleeding, he still forgot the pain with the belief that he would win, he wanted to change his life, and he was not willing to succumb to this assumed fate. In the twelfth game of the deciding set, Alcaraz was on the key point of 30-30, when Alcaraz was like a Zen player without waves, at the moment before Sinner's racket touched the ball, his body started in advance like an arrow from the string, perfectly predicting and covering the opponent's return line, which completely surpassed rational prediction and had reached the realm of selflessness of "not by sight but by supernatural powers".

Sinner was completely "recognized" at this moment, not because he was inferior to others, but because his iron will finally collapsed like an iceberg in the face of a mortal's belief in the realm of transcendence, in front of a "divine intuition" that transcended calculation.

Alcaraz's epic comeback on Roland Garros clay is much more than a trophy. He incarnates a modern-day version of Yugong and Jingwei, with the ups and downs of flesh and blood, against the near-perfect rational machine represented by Sinner. This game is destined to become a great metaphor for the predicament of the human spirit: each of us has the "ideal self" in our hearts that longs to never make mistakes and is as precise as a machine, but we have to live in symbiosis with the "true self" that will be tired, fluctuating, fearful, but never give up. But only by facing the abyss with tenacity can we ignite the inextinguishable flame from the bottom of our hearts.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
