While waiting to return to the players' rest area to pack his luggage, Gao Wen gradually came to his senses.
At the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, Kubert and Lindstead created a miracle to reach the men's doubles championship, which was even more inspirational and crazy than Wawrinka's upset victory.
But after that, they fell into a lost situation. The impact of the "Grand Slam Syndrome" was far beyond imagination. There were shocks from their opponents, as well as their high demands and doubts on themselves. The huge pressure brought by the aura of the first Grand Slam champion continued to slump in the second half of the season, and it is not known when he will be able to regain his form.
In Gao Wen, they saw courage, but also tenacity——
Especially in last week's match against Nadal in the imperial capital, Gao Wen showed incredible fighting spirit in a poor state, and kept the suspense of the game until the last moment. This is the real inspiration.
The same is true for this game. Last Friday, he lost his first singles game in eight months. After just two days on the weekend, Gao Wen has recovered and started to enjoy the game again; The role of Tim, who did not cooperate well with Tim, won the victory easily. This is undoubtedly another revelation.
For Kubert, from watching Gawain create miracles silently from a distance, to facing Gawain up close and feeling that energy through a duel, such an experience is precious and enlightening, allowing him to see even more There are more possibilities, and most importantly, he has learned at least one thing:
How to treat failure.
However, Gao Wen did not expect that his performance could actually affect other players:
Is this the power of role models?
When Kubert and Lindstead left the arena, they cast their gazes at Gawain and Tim who were applauding, waved their hands again and clenched their fists to cheer, and shouted something, which could not be heard amidst the din of the audience. Clear, like "keep going" or something.
This made Gawain laugh out loud—
In his own opinion, in the doubles arena, the competitiveness between him and Tim is still a bit weaker. The next round will face the legendary number one seed Bryan Brothers in doubles.
But no matter what, go out on the court, give it your all, and just enjoy the game.
not to mention!
Gao Wen has just confirmed the system, and the growth potential of the first round of doubles has actually increased by 21%. Although it is not as good as the match against Nadal, the gap is far, but the increase is still very impressive, and it is not far from reaching full value again. up.
Is this because of the freshness of challenging doubles for the first time? The polishing technique and the content of the test are all different, so the initial rising speed is naturally faster!
Well, in the next round, we have to face the number one doubles player in the world, and maybe even the best men's doubles player of all time, Brother Bryan, and it is his second doubles match. How much wool.
Kind of looking forward to it.
"Dude, what makes you smile so much? Share it with me and make me laugh too."
Tim’s voice came to my ears, not only because of the victory, but more because of the doubles, enjoying the purity and simplicity of tennis outside the singles court, and my mood also became happy, so that Tim also had a rare opening two games today. It was a joke, and even the voice became a lot lighter.
Gawain gathered his thoughts back for a while, and looked around with a smile on his face, looking at the fans who still hadn't left.
"Who can refuse this field?"
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The spectator stand of the No. 2 stadium is still bustling and bustling. Even after the game is over, a large number of fans still stay at the scene and do not leave. You can see the audience taking pictures with their mobile phones everywhere, even themselves and the stadium, and Gavin Tim. Selfies were taken, cheers, whistles and screams were sparsely intertwined.
The sun, just right, is dazzling, as if the whole world is burning.
Involuntarily, the mood soared, including Tim's no exception.
"...It's still different. When playing at home, those familiar faces, the familiar language, the familiar environment, the whole mood is different..."
"Ah! By the way, you speak German, right? So the language is still different when competing in other places. I forgot about it for a while. Unlike me, I can clearly see that I stand out from the crowd when I look around-I I mean, height."
"Haha, you should go to the basketball court to see it some other day, and the sense of superiority will disappear immediately."
"Don't tell me, when I was young, a basketball coach really liked me and thought I was a seedling, but my mother is very passionate about tennis..."
Chattering, chattering.
Gao Wen and Tim briskly returned to the players' locker room. They were just surrounded by a group of fans in the players' tunnel. The turbulent heat wave of asking for autographs and group photos was overwhelming, just like a thunderstorm in a summer afternoon. Instantly devoured them.
After arriving in Shanghai, Gao Wen has been conducting private training. The daily public training time is shortened to one hour. The fans obviously don't have enough time to get close to Gao Wen. At this time, it is hard to witness the victory in the doubles arena. No one Willing to miss such an opportunity.
Enthusiasm, high.
It's no wonder that the audience did not leave after the match; moreover, compared to the sold-out tickets for the singles arena, the attendance rate of the doubles arena is not so high, which also means that the competition is not so fierce, and the spectators naturally don't want to miss it. Opportunities gathered towards Gao Wen one after another.
Gawain immediately noticed Tim who was left out in the cold—
Obviously, the fans in front of them have only just ignited their interest in tennis, and their understanding of the rules and players is very limited. Few people can recognize Tim, who has just made his debut this season; let alone this is Gawain's home field~www .mtlnovel.com~ All eyes are focused on Gao Wen?
Gao Wen didn't hesitate, and took the initiative to pull Tim to introduce him, "This is my partner and friend, Dominic Tim. I am very grateful that he is willing to play doubles with me."
Because Gao Wen introduced it in Chinese, Tim couldn't understand it at all, but as a result, the fans also extended friendly olive branches to Tim.
Tim, who has not yet had the chance to feel the enthusiasm of the fans, was a little at a loss. He pulled Gao Wen to ask how to say "thank you" in Chinese, and then he learned and sold, and said "Ni Hao" very sincerely, but it ended up causing trouble. The fans and audience laughed so much that Tim had question marks all over his head, and he cast his eyes on Gao Wen in great confusion.
Gao Wen gave Tim a thumbs up very sincerely and seriously:
"They think your Chinese is very standard. Awesome!"
Tim faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it out. Finally, he smiled at the fans and said it again.
"Mud howl, mud howl."
