There is no trick to win, but there is a trick—
In the face of the media, this is often the truth.
It was precisely because of Gao Wen's calmness and composure that not only was he generous in the post-match press conference, but also the follow-up training and daily life remained unchanged. Before those raging rumors had time to ignite, the enthusiasm had been quietly extinguished. After all, a I can't clap my hands.
However, what happened later confirmed Gao Wen's conjecture—
Lawrence seemed aroused with pride.
In the second round of Gao Wen's match, Lawrence appeared in the spectator stands again, continued to watch the game, and greeted all eyes with grace.
really!
Gao Wen is right, Lawrence is a bull temper, not so easy to persuade, and he has a childish temper, if he is banned, he has to try it out, and loses his mind when he sees the red cloth constantly waving in front of his eyes, and insists on continuing his persistence and challenge Gawain's bottom line.
However, does Gao Wen care?
not.
Since it's a public place, the doors are wide open, and everyone is welcome to come to watch the game, so there is no need for them to make a fuss because of one person's attendance.
After all, the stadium is so big, when Gao Wen ran wildly on the field, he couldn't notice the sight above the stands. This is not a Hollywood movie, there are spotlight effects anytime and anywhere, even Lawrence, in a stadium with thousands of people , is just an ordinary audience.
Gao Wen: Jennifer - who?
The same is true for the coaching team headed by Sampras. They are completely focused on Gao Wen's game. After a short distraction, the team's concentration slowly returns——
After all, Gao Wen played against the hard bone for the second consecutive round.
In the grass season, due to the limited warm-up events, there are not many player options, and there are often situations where top players gather together, and they may even encounter the top 30 and top 20 players in the world in the first two rounds. The competition for the 500-point event is fierce Even higher than the masters with a thousand points.
Right now, that's it.
After facing Kyrgios in the first round, Gao Wen will face South African cannon Kevin Anderson, ranked 18th in the world, in the second round.
Anderson has an excellent serve, strong forehand, and balanced offense and defense, but lacks variety, rigidity, and honesty.
In fact, it can be regarded as a combination of Berdych and Isner. His solid basic skills and outstanding strength make him a typical hard-court baseline player.
On the whole, he is slightly inferior to Berdych or Isner in terms of talent, but his strong mentality can bring stable performance, as long as he is in good condition, he can continue; The time spent in the ranks of top players in his career is far inferior to that of Berdych and Isner, but his performance at the peak is even better.
In the eyes of professionals, Anderson's historical status is definitely not comparable to that of Berdych, nor is it inferior to Isner; but in the eyes of ordinary fans, the highlight moments of Anderson's career are far stronger than Berdych and Isner you.
In the 2017 US Open, Anderson relied on his excellent signing luck and solid performance. He did not encounter the top ten players in the world all the way, and reached the final strongly. He made a breakthrough in the Grand Slam for the first time in his career. The set suffered a sweep and lost to Nadal, finishing runner-up.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the fans, Anderson is a dark horse in this US Open. The signing has helped a lot and is not worth mentioning, but Anderson soon proved himself.
Then in the semi-finals, Anderson faced Isner. In the first four sets, the two players were evenly divided, "7:6 (6, "6:7 (5, "6:7 (9, "6: 4"; the final set was still inextricably fought, and finally entered the long set again, and the two serving cannons refused to give an inch.
In the forty-ninth inning, Anderson accidentally fell when receiving the serve but did not give up. He stood up again to catch the ball with his left hand, and ran unremittingly until Isner's unforced error. Get three break points in a row and cash on the second break point.
"26:24", after breaking serve, he secured serve. In the end, Anderson defeated Isner and broke into the Grand Slam final stage for the second time in his career.
Despite facing Djokovic in the final, Anderson wasted five set points in the third set and lost in straight sets in the end, but he still proved himself.
Stability, tenacity, focus, dedication, these are the characteristics of Anderson.
Perhaps, his talent is limited, and he is far from shining in the long river of history. He does not have the sadness of Berdych, nor the strength of Isner's skills; but Anderson still blazed a path of his own, no doubt , grass is definitely his favorite venue.
In fact, as early as before breaking through the US Open in 2017, Anderson had been firmly in the top 20 in the world for more than three years. Not good, Roland-Garros lost to Gasquet and stopped in the top 32, and the world ranking also fell to 18th, but in the grass season, this is still his shining stage.
This is not the first time Gawain and Anderson have met—
In the first half of the year in Miami, the two players faced each other once. In that match, Gao Wen won two consecutive sets after losing one set first.
The situation is completely different this time around.
Predictably, it was an uphill battle, and it proved to be—
Throughout the game, although there were a total of nine break points, no one was able to break serve.
That is to say, the two players saved all break points and both of them saved all their serve games in the end, proving once again the importance of serve games on grass courts. Often a single break point may determine the outcome of the entire game. In the end, every game All must be decided by a tie-break.
"7:6(9, "7:6(13.
Anderson, have the last laugh—
Gawain was defeated in straight sets.
The start of the grass court season ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is not satisfactory, with a record of 1 win and 1 loss, Gao Wen will embark on the journey of playing Wimbledon for the first time in a low-key manner.
Although it was a pity to lose this match, Gao Wen was not depressed.
The whole game took two hours, and the quality of the confrontation between you and me showed a high level. From the dilemma of the serve game to the challenge of the return game to the collision of the tiebreaker, the content of the game was also very rich, especially the face-to-face For a top player like Anderson who is very adaptable to playing on grass.
It is no exaggeration to say that such a loss is much, much better than defeating Kyrgios in the first round.
Of course, after a fierce battle, it would be great to be able to win in the end and win the chance to play another game, but unfortunately missed the opportunity, and there were two consecutive tiebreakers. It is also a good thing that Wen can experience it for himself.
It's just that it's unclear what the media thinks.
