In 2015, the Miami Masters, the final four competition, the flames of war ignited.
The first game, "Gowin VS Berdych".
This is the third time that the two players have faced each other in their careers. Berdych is still the same Berdych, stable, strong, but lacking a little bit of sharpness; Gao Wen is still the same Gao Wen, wise, courageous, and understanding of the game. The grasp of opportunities has both youthful vigor and mature sophistication.
"6:4", "6:4".
The scores of the two sets were very, very close, and the score gap did not widen. In the end, it was still the key points that determined the outcome.
Winner, Gawain.
In his current career, Gawain has won all three games against Berdych without losing a set.
This handsome Czech guy, nicknamed "Bird Brother" by the fans, felt a little helpless after the game. When shaking hands, he patted Gawain on the shoulder and made a half-joking joke.
"I think we meet too often. In the second half of the season, my biggest wish is never to face you across the net again. I hope to meet some new faces."
Berdych seemed knocked down and had no energy left to get angry.
Gao Wen laughed cheerfully, "Including the grass season?"
Grass, this is Berdych's best field, almost all of his career breakthroughs come from this; in comparison, Gao Wen is not very good at—
Never fought.
Perhaps, Berdych has more chances against Govan in the grass season.
Berdych understood right away, but the honest man didn't hit the snake with the stick, but waved his hand, "I think, let's forget it."
That dumbfounding expression is enough to explain everything.
Accompanied by this victory, it also marked that Gao Wen broke into the sixth final in eight months, once again proving how hot he is.
In the previous five finals, Gao Wen maintained an excellent record of four wins and one loss, which proves that he is a player who is very good at finals and has a big heart.
It is worth mentioning that the only loss was against Murray in Valencia.
Although in Melbourne, Gao Wen defeated Murray in the semi-finals to complete the revenge, but the final and semi-finals still have different atmospheres. Coming to Miami, Valencia's final lineup is expected to be staged again:
What about Djokovic? Or Murray?
No matter which player Gao Wen faces in the final, it is certain that the match will never disappoint.
The second game, "Djokovic VS Murray".
Since returning from injury at the beginning of last year, Murray's roadblock to return to the top has always been his close childhood friend Djokovic. The strength of the two players interprets the profound meaning of "not friends do not get together":
From last year's Miami quarter-finals to this year's Miami quarter-finals, the two players met seven times in a full year.
In the previous six times, all the victories were Djokovic!
Incredible!
You know, these two players have been old rivals since they were teenagers. When they played against each other, both of them achieved some outstanding victories and also won some consecutive victories, but whether it is Djokovic or Murray, Never been able to extend the winning streak beyond four games.
Now, Djokovic ushered in a wave of six consecutive victories, completely breaking the deadlock between the two in the past.
Interestingly, both players have excelled in Miami, where the court and conditions are perfect for their style.
This year is the fifth meeting between Djokovic and Murray in Miami. In the previous four encounters, Djokovic has the upper hand with three wins and one loss.
Perhaps, Miami can become the turning point for Murray to reverse his losing streak against Djokovic, and then sound the clarion call for himself to reach the top?
In the first set, both Murray and Djokovic got the count, but in the end, Djokovic was superior and won the tie-break.
In the second set, Murray was not discouraged, and launched a fierce attack on Djokovic, and reversed the situation, pulling back a set with a score of "6:4".
This set victory is also the second set that Murray has won from Djokovic since his return from injury and the second set tie-break at the US Open last year; at the same time, the Miami Masters is a three-set two-win system , and then entered the final set, everything is possible, and the two sides returned to the starting line.
Opportunities exist objectively and are no longer a theoretical possibility.
pity.
"6:0".
In the final set, Murray was unable to keep up with Djokovic's speed due to physical difficulties. Djokovic easily completed the liquidation and won seven consecutive victories.
As a result, the final lineup was hotly released, and all of a sudden, the crowd erupted—
"Gowin VS Djokovic 6.0" is coming soon!
Last year, Gao Wen double-killed Djokovic in New York and Paris, and then Djokovic completed his revenge in London.
This year, Gao Wen double-killed Djokovic twice in Melbourne and Indian Wells. Immediately afterwards, Djokovic got a chance for revenge in Miami.
So, what about this time?
Is it Djokovic's perfect re-enactment trajectory to regain his strength and sweet revenge, or is Gao Wen's career ushering in a new breakthrough in his career and the first triple kill in the world?
In any era, any game, any player, being able to kill the world's No. 1 player three times, there is no doubt that this is a feat that deserves special mention.
In the "Big Four Era", perhaps, Murray's number of Grand Slams, the number of first weeks in the world, etc., cannot be compared with the other three giants, but industry insiders, professional media, and senior fans all agree. The fundamental reason why he is willing to call him the fourth giant is his ability:
In the past ten years, Murray is the only player who can double-kill or even triple-kill the world's number one player, and more than once.
Other than that, the closest thing to such an achievement is Tsonga.
When the Big Four were No. 1 in the world at the time, Tsonga double-killed Federer, but regrettably failed to double-beat Djokovic and Nadal—
Of course, Tsonga has won more than one game against the Big Four in his career. The key to the mission is that when the giants are number one in the world, it is more difficult and more challenging to defeat them. A victory is already very, very difficult, not to mention Is it a double kill, or even a triple kill?
Now, the opportunity came to Gao Wen.
Will Djokovic disarm?
of course not.
Not only will it not, but Djokovic will go all out.
Just like in London last year, although Paris missed the match point and lost the victory, on the London stage, the world's number one still proved himself.
This is the case every time, without exception~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is also the scariest part of the Big Four.
The most important thing is that the Big Four all have such abilities—
They will learn from each defeat, then adjust their tactics, adjust their style of play, keep improving and upgrading, formulate new strategies for the venue and opponents, and implement the strategies in place through actual combat games, reverse the situation of the game, and move towards Launch an all-out attack with victory.
Comparable to the Terminator series, every time it is upgraded, evolved, and stronger, naturally, it is more difficult to beat each time.
It is extremely difficult to defeat a giant once, not to mention the need to output high-frequency highlighting performances twice, three times, or even more times in a row?
So far, only Murray has done it.
Therefore, Murray is the fourth giant, but Wawrinka, Gawain, Tsonga, etc., etc., they are not counted.
