Against the Big Four - to be precise, against the top players, all games are like this, a valuable experience, a valuable lesson:
Regardless of winning or losing, there are many, many things that need to be summarized after the game, and then absorbed and transformed, and finally become the nourishment for my continued growth.
To win, you need to think about how to win? Is it possible to copy and paste? Which parts perform well and should be maintained; which parts are underperforming and should be improved? What experience can be gained from the technical level, tactical level, game interpretation, etc. after the game?
The same is true for failure. The same problems and the same routines need to be gone through again, and the game should be analyzed from an objective, rational and professional perspective.
That's what Tim and Gawain are doing as well.
The video of the game can be studied after going back or after the entire game is over, but the first-time communication between players is also very important.
"...If you don't find an opportunity to receive the serve, it doesn't matter. Just be patient, because Novak also needs layout. His game often has relatively conservative transitional balls. In fact, there are more offensive opportunities left than imagined. Then the offense at this time We need to think about it, not just this one shot, but the next three or even five shots, and after breaking the routine, we can attack."
"How can you have time to think so much in such a short round of fast and hard courts?"
"That's why we need more experience in competitions. Through continuous drills in actual combat, we will continue to polish. On the one hand, we will cultivate our own tactical quality, and on the other hand, we will cultivate our ability to adapt to the situation and perform on the spot. Competitions cannot be played in vain."
"Well, I see. I went back and watched the video of the game carefully, and then studied it. I feel that I can learn a lot from this game."
"I did the same last week against Nadal."
"Ah, I want to play Novak again now."
"If you want to get in front of him, you need to beat other players, so this is the motivation to continue to improve yourself and train hard."
Tim, no frustration at all.
In fact, he knew that he was not in a good state at the moment, and his performance was mediocre in the first round of the Neon Tour and the second round of the Magic City Tour.
But in the predicament, he also saw the positive side, at least he won a game this week; and he also learned a lot against Djokovic, and then he needs to return to the training ground to continue to polish himself.
"Okay, okay, after today's doubles match, how about we practice an extra game?"
This time, it was Gao Wen's turn to look at Tim in surprise:
Everyone said that Gao Wen was a training maniac, but now it seems that there are people beyond people and heaven beyond heaven.
When Tim saw Gao Wen's expression, he was a little bit late to realize that the extra training seemed a bit too exaggerated for them to play double games in one day today, even for him and Gao Wen.
Tim also realized that he was a little too excited, and was about to explain something, but unexpectedly, Gawain shrugged.
"Let's see how the doubles match goes."
Does this... mean no rejection?
Before Gao Wen and Tim could continue the conversation, a head popped up next to it, with wide eyes, looking back and forth between the two of them, and asked curiously.
"Is it because of this that you two partnered in the doubles match?"
The light words were definitely not provocative or accusatory, more like a joke, but Tim didn't know how to respond to this type of joke, his expression was a little cramped, and he subconsciously looked at Gawain.
Before Gao Wen could speak, a hand appeared from behind and pulled back the baby face in front of him. Even without seeing the face, he could feel deep annoyance from the voice.
"Bob! Stop your mischief, you are so rude."
Gao Wen didn't turn his head, but looked at the baby face in front of him, raised his right hand, made a gesture of high five in celebration, and said with a smile.
"'Devil Combination', oh yeah, this nickname is too murderous, it is still our nickname."
Babyface grinned, high-fived Gawain, and then made a strange noise, as if the New Zealand natives were celebrating finding food.
Tim blinks: So, what's going on?
Then, Tim could see another baby face that was exactly the same, with a double image effect. He looked back and forth to "find the difference" several times, but he couldn't find the difference between the two faces.
"Sorry, forgive us for eavesdropping on your conversation, Bob meant absolutely no harm, but he just couldn't stop."
The second baby face looked much calmer, and he said to Tim and Gao Wen with a polite smile, then patted the first baby face who was learning a monkey, and introduced it actively.
"This is Bob."
"I'm Mike."
"We're all Brian."
The twin brothers in front of them are the Bryan brothers who are currently number one in the doubles world, Bob-Bryan (Bob-Bryan) and Mike-Bryan (Mike-Bryan).

Among them, Mike holds the camera with his right hand and Bob holds the camera with his left. The two brothers studied at Stanford University and are also NCAA-born players.
