The game is over!
Three tie-breaks, 131 minutes, in the end, Gao Wen had the last laugh in this fierce battle, and reached the final in Valencia with an outstanding performance, quietly waiting for the victory between Murray and Ferrer By.
A slight difference, from the first set to the third set, has always been a slight difference. Even though the tie-break score in the third set is not so tight, it is actually only a difference of serve points.
Nevertheless, Robredo was not too disappointed. After the game, he trotted all the way to the net and gave Gao Wen a big hug with a smile on his face.
"Brilliant game, really very, very good."
Robredo was a "short" man, 180 centimeters, but there were fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he raised his hand to rub Gawain's wet hair, like an elder looking at a younger generation.
"Good luck in the final, I will warn those two old guys in advance."
A little humor, a little bit of warmth, it can be seen that Robredo has no regrets about this game, he played his full level heartily, and then enjoyed the game and every minute of standing on the court. A veteran who has been in the professional tennis world for 16 years, he has a different light.
Gao Wen could feel the sincerity in Robredo's words, and the warmth flowing from his chest. In fact, it was only the first time they met, but it felt very natural.
Then, Gao Wen also showed a smile, "Shh, Tommy, help keep a secret."
Such a response made Robredo's smile completely bloom, and he patted Gao Wen's back again, without being polite, he went to the referee first to shake hands.
After the end, Robredo looked at the court affectionately, thanked the audience for their support with applause, and then gave his own applause to Gao Wen, and left the court without staying too long, leaving the applause to Gao Wen .
Because of Robredo's help, all the fans stood up and applauded Gao Wen one after another—
This game is worth it.
From Busta to Chardy and then to Robredo, there were three consecutive rounds of matches, all of which were very close to very intense matches, as can be seen from the scores:
From a negative point of view, there is no easy victory with a sweep, and the state still needs to continue to improve.
From a positive point of view, the ability to grasp the key points has returned, and most importantly, the rare game temperament has once again been shown.
In fact, to be objective, after Gao Wen won the US Open as a dark horse, everyone will start to analyze his game, from tactics to techniques to characteristics, etc., etc., all exposed in front of everyone, to unveil the mystery , the shocks and challenges he faced were naturally different.
The game will indeed become more difficult.
But the most commendable thing is that Gao Wen didn't break his mental balance just because he was the US Open champion.
He clearly knows that he still has room for improvement and growth, and he also knows that there are so many masters in the tour, so he still upholds the mentality of a competitor and a challenger, and calmly meets all the impacts. Such a mentality adjustment, for On-court performance is crucial.
Therefore, three consecutive hard battles will definitely benefit a lot.
So, what's next?
Whether it is Murray or Ferrer, they are not only the direct competitors of Gao Wen for the ticket to the year-end finals, but also the top players in the men's professional tennis world at present—
This also means that the time to pluck the wool has come again.
Thirty minutes after the match between Gao Wen and Robredo, the second semi-final took place.
"Murray vs Ferrell".
This game, because of the high popularity of the two top players, is undoubtedly the most anticipated matchup in Valencia this year, especially after the upset of the second seed Berdych, the two ranked first and second respectively. The reunion of the No. 3 seed players is what everyone expects.
In fact, not long ago in the Shanghai Masters, Ferrer and Murray just had a contest. Ferrer defeated Murray and reached the quarterfinals. The three-set match was a roller coaster:
"2:6", "6:1", "6:2".
Such a score is really surprising, after all, breaks are relatively rare in men's games, and it is between two such top players.
The matchup again after a week, naturally there are a lot of topics, coupled with the competition for the seat in the year-end finals, the expectations are even more explosive.
The two players did not disappoint, and they joined hands to dedicate a high-quality and high-level duel.
"6:4", "7:5".
It was the second semi-final in a row, with a very, very close scoreline, and for those who watched two semi-finals in a row, it was definitely a day worth paying for.
This time, Murray managed to have the last laugh, not only avenging his defeat two weeks ago, but also severely suppressing Ferrer to seize the opportunity for the year-end finals; considering Berdych's upset exit in the first round, Now Murray has taken the initiative in the championship standings.
As a result, the final matchup table is freshly released:
"Murray vs Gawain".
In just three months, after Djokovic and Nadal, Gao Wen is about to face the third giant——
Gear up!
Among the Big Four, the "controversy" among fans about Murray's status has always existed objectively. From the number of Grand Slam and Masters championships, the number of weeks ranked No. 1 in the world, etc., it is indeed difficult for him to compete with the other three. Superstars stand shoulder to shoulder.
But in the eyes of professionals, the "Big Four" are not too controversial.
In fact, Murray and Djokovic are very, very similar. They are the same age, have similar playing styles, and they were friends who trained and played together in childhood.
In 2007, Djokovic rose; in 2008, it was Murray.
In August 2008, after Murray ranked fourth in the world for the first time, he remained at the top. From then to January 2014, in five years and six months, there were only 14 weeks before and after. The world ranking is fifth, and all other times are in the top four ranks—
Among them, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ still has a lot of time to occupy the second or third place.
In other words, Murray and the other three top players are the players of the first group, widening the gap with other professional players. This is also the original source of the title of "Big Four".
To be precise, before Djokovic won three Grand Slam titles in 2011, these four players had already dominated the top four in the world for a long time, so the media began to call them this way, which has no direct relationship with the number of championships.
Regrettably, Murray's style of play and mentality have also determined that he does not have an advantage in the face of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic's record.
In fact, Murray and the other Big Three are all close friends, and this friendship is somewhat different from the relationship between the other Big Three.
Later, some media also asked about the Big Four, and Murray himself joked, "It may be because they all think that I am easy to bully and can't beat them, so they all have a very good relationship with me."
