Match Point

Chapter 1074: pick off the seeds

Obviously, this was not Bospisil's plan, he hoped to send some signals to Gao Wen, but now it seems that there may be errors in the signal transmission.

The battle and momentum have already been laid down, and in the end, that's it?

Bospisil tried to create some troubles for Gao Wen, the outcome was second to none, the emphasis was on deterrence, impact, and a confrontational stance.

But unfortunately, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and he didn't succeed—not only didn't he succeed, but he still fell apart and collapsed.

fiasco.

rout.

There was only one thought in Bospihir's mind, leave here, even if it looks like a criminal suspect, it doesn't matter, leave as soon as possible.

In the end, Gao Wen started his first journey in Indian Wells with a steady and relaxed attitude, and it was also the first adjustment after losing to Federer—

not bad.

Of course, if he had a choice, Gao Wen would also like to spend more time on the court. The confrontation of the Davis Cup is far from enough.

He needs to hit the ball, he needs to adapt to the feeling of the game here, and he needs to really feel the confrontation to mobilize his state, otherwise he may not be able to keep up when he enters a deep round.

But it was also important to get through the windy Indian Wells debut and get through it, to silence the reporters.

temporarily.

There is no need to ask for more.

Relatively speaking, Dimitrov is worse.

In the second round, Dimitrov had a tough... Kyrgios.

Maybe, not "a little worse", but "a lot, a lot".

Whether you like Kyrgios or not, his talent, his ability, and his quality are there, and the shocks and troubles he can create are all objective.

and!

Victory is the only way to get Kyrgios to close that big mouth that shoots guns and fires everywhere.

For Dimitrov, who is not doing well recently and has a gentle personality, Kayah Expressway is indeed not an ideal opponent.

After the draw came out, it easily became the focus of the second round. Compared with the Big Four or Gao Wen and Wawrinka, this is the topic.

No one can predict what Kyrgios will say if he beats Dimitrov.

However!

In this game, Dimitrov played a rare **** game, dedicating the toughest and most exciting matchup since the opening of the new season.

In the first set, the two sides entangled all the way to the tie-break. Dimitrov suddenly accelerated, disrupted Kyrgios' position, and broke Kyrgios' serve points consecutively. "7:2" won easily.

In the second set, Kyrgios hit consecutive fairy shots, broke Dimitrov's serve, and maintained the advantage all the way to the end, "6:3", a big score equalized.

Final set.

Kyrgios took advantage of the victory to pursue and broke serve first, leading "5:4", ushering in his own serve to win the game, but Dimitrov did not disarm.

At the critical moment, Dimitrov gritted his teeth, seized the weak gap where Kyrgios failed to advance twice, took the initiative to attack, and actually got a break point—

This was Dimitrov's second break point of the game.

In this game, Kyrgios served very well, and he never encountered too many challenges in his serve, let alone being broken.

result!

In the self-serve win game, it is not the match point, but the first to face the break point.

Then,

cash!

Dimitrov scored with a stunning backhand straight-line winner.

Break point, no more but cash, just one is enough, Dimitrov broke Kyrgios' serve to win the game.

In the final set, they returned to the same starting line.

"Roar!"

Dimitrov, who had been particularly dull and depressed recently, finally roared out, roaring like a lion, and showed his sharp claws.

It's not so much the desire to win, but the desire to fight, to play, to play tennis, that shines brightly in this moment.

Mutual exchange!

Can't stand it!

For the two players, it was very, very difficult to break serve. At the end of the game, neither of them could get a break point, so the final set entered the tiebreaker.

"7:4".

Dimitrov had the last laugh.

Relying on a better, more stable and tougher performance at the critical moment, Dimitrov won the deciding set with the advantage of breaking one more serve point, defeated Kyrgios, and advanced to the third round with his head held high.

Compared with the victory, Dimitrov's fighting spirit, passion and state in this game are the real joyful part.

The situation is improving bit by bit. Although it is slow, it can indeed see improvement.

With such momentum, Gao Wen and Dimitrov also made great strides in the doubles arena.

In the second round, the challenger will be the seventh seed, a combination of India's Rohan-Bopanna and Canada's Daniel-Nestor.

Among them, Nestor, who turned professional in 1991, is a legend, the former world number one, seven Grand Slam doubles champions, including four Grand Slams; Poppina is slightly inferior but also a doubles expert, the highest ranking It is the third in the world, and it is still at its peak in the past few years.

There is no doubt that this is a serious challenge.

Gao Wen's team performed very well. They defeated their opponents in two straight sets, "6:3" and "7:6(3, and advanced to the quarterfinals, continuing the momentum of victory.

This victory can be regarded as a moderate upset, and the performance was really wonderful.

"Ahhh!"

"Ahhh!"

At the end of the game, the audience was boiling, cheers and screams intertwined, applause and whistle collided, and the enthusiasm of the audience was continuous and surging.

After the game, the two players were left on the sidelines of the court by crazy fans for nearly ten minutes, and the cordial fan service with autographs and group photos caused a frenzy.

Although Gawain and Dimitrov tried their best to satisfy everyone's wishes, there was still a schedule ahead, and they had to leave, but they couldn't achieve it after all, leaving the audience full of regretful sighs and wailings, so that the players waited in the tunnel for their debut The players can also feel the difference in the atmosphere.

Ferrer was an honest man who would not joke or complain, so he took the initiative to hug Gawain and Dimitrov respectively, congratulating them.

But Ferrer's opponent, Tomic, was different. He pulled away with contempt and disdain, chewing gum, and didn't even give a glance.

"Ferrer VS Tomic", the two protagonists of the next duel, will be on the second court soon.

Standing at the entrance of the stadium and taking a rough look at ~lightnovelpub.net~, you can clearly see that a large number of spectators are leaving the stadium, maybe they are leaving, maybe they are just going to the bathroom, maybe they just want to relax for a while, but the loss of crowds is still a big one. for the spectacular —

Could it be that, compared to the singles match between Ferrer and Tomic, the doubles match just now had a higher attendance rate?

Did all this really happen?

Whether it is ATP or WTA, the attendance rate of singles matches is often much higher than that of doubles, and sometimes the gap can even be doubled or even tripled.

Even if Gao Wen and Dimitrov are popular, have a strong appeal, and both topicality and popularity remain high, Ferrer and Tomic are not unknown, and the gap should not be so obvious.

this…

Is this really good?
