Chapter 1089 The Right Track

boom!

Sousa raised his hands high, raised his arms and shouted, happiness and joy filled his eyes overflowing like this, but he couldn't make a sound.

He just opened his mouth, smiled, looked at his mother, looked at the fans around him, looked at Gao Wen on the field, and felt his heartbeat burst.

She knew that this was just an ordinary victory, and Kohlschreiber was not among the top ten players in the world, so there was no need to make a fuss.

But this was the first time she watched Gao Wen's match live, no matter who the opponent was or the score, she would always engrave it in her heart.

on the pitch.

Gao Wen, who finished shaking hands after the game, returned to the center of the court again, raised the racket, slapped the face with his left hand, and thanked the audience with applause. The smile on the corner of his mouth and the sweat on his forehead glistened under the sun. Despite his tiredness, But you can feel the joy emanating from the inside out.

That figure landed deep in Sosa's eyes, and the sockets of his eyes turned red when he was caught off guard—

At this moment, at this moment, she is really so happy, as if she has the whole world.

However, because of such happiness, she soon realized that the game was over, the party was over, and this rosy journey was also over. She and her mother were about to return to Mexico and return to the muddy gray life , How beautiful the dream is, how cruel the reality is.

Worrying about gains and losses, reluctant to part, tears continued to fall like broken pearls.

Sosa didn't wipe away his tears, nor did he hide his fragility, but raised his jaw slightly, deeply imprinting the figure on the court deep in his pupils.

She will not be afraid, will not shrink back, and will not surrender, she will fight, and she will fight to the end with her dreams in mind.

She believed that she and Gao Wen would meet again.

At that time, she had already grown into a big girl, and then she stood upright in front of Gao Wen and told her, thank him for being a light in her youth.

Cry and cry, just laugh.

Dream, you are about to wake up, but it doesn't matter, because it also means that the journey of chasing dreams begins.

Here, Gao Wen completed his debut at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden Center Court, withstood Kohlschreiber's counterattack at the end of the match, and advanced to the round of 16 in straight sets.

On the other side, Dimitrov was in deep trouble. In the game against Robredo, he once again exposed his poor state.

It is true that after coming to the desert, accompanied by Gawain, Dimitrov gradually regained some touch. The defeat of Kyrgios is a positive signal.

But it is undeniable that Dimitrov still needs more time, more training and more games to rebuild his confidence little by little.

Moreover, defeating Kyrgios in any game at any time requires a lot of energy. It is not without reason that people call Kyrgios a "time bomb". , concentration will inevitably fluctuate.

Facing Robredo, after losing the first set "4:6", Dimitrov pulled back a set with a score of "6:1", dragging the game into the final set.

"7:5", Robredo had the last laugh.

At the end of the game, Dimitrov's state was obviously not keeping up, and the quality of the ball declined. Robredo won two consecutive rounds and won the final victory.

After the Australian Open, Dimitrov still has not been able to win consecutively in the singles arena - the doubles streak with his partner Gao Wen is the only dawn.

However, compared to the two races in Rotterdam and Acapulco, Dimitrov's state has recovered significantly and is returning to the right track.

From all aspects, there are still more positive factors. What Dimitrov needs to consider now is not the next clay court season and grass court season, but to return to the training ground, continue to hit the ball, continue to practice, let’s take a look at Miami performance, and then make further adjustments.

It is very, very regrettable that the loss to Robredo also means that Dimitrov will miss the next match against Raonic.

Like Dimitrov, Raonic and Kei Nishikori have also struggled in recent times, but the three players are better than the other:

Raonic is better than Dimitrov, and Kei Nishikori is better than Raonic.

Of course, this all refers to status, not strength, a relative status.

Overall, the pressures of attention and expectations continue to play an important role. Wawrinka and Gao Wen also experienced the same situation after reaching the top of the Grand Slam for the first time last year, but now both of them have got rid of the downturn and regained their touch; the next thing is to see the adjustment ability of these young people.

In Indian Wells, Raonic and Kei Nishikori both advanced to the round of 16.

Next, the performance of this group of young people is still the focus of attention. They all face their own difficulties and respond in their own ways.

In the competition for the quarter-finals—

Gawain defeated French veteran Adrian-Mannarino in straight sets and advanced to the next round with his head held high.

Facing the impact of Robredo, Raonic showed a good competitive state, "6:2", "6:3", and easily advanced.

Kei Nishikori and Verdasco fought hard for three sets. It took two and a half hours to defeat Verdasco for the first time in his career and finally made a breakthrough.

So far, the Indian Wells men's singles quarterfinals are all settled.

In the first half, Djokovic VS Murray, Gao Wen VS Kei Nishikori.

In the second half, Federer VS Berdych, Nadal VS Raonic.

All are familiar faces.

Wait, what about Wawrinka? What about Cilic?

Wawrinka lost to Dutch veteran Robin-Hass (Robin-Hass) in the second round and was out of the first game.

Cilic returned from injury, also lost to Argentine veteran Juan Monaco in the second round, and was out in the first game.

Unpopularity always exists objectively.

Even so, the final quarter-finals remained calm—

It is almost the same as Melbourne Park.

Among the top eighth seeds, only Wawrinka was left behind. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was replaced by Berdych, the ninth seed in the same division, even more stable than the Australian Open.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that in the 32-to-16 match, Federer successfully avenged Seppi and avenged his defeat at the Australian Open.

Of course, the media and fans began to worry about "Seppi's Law" again, joking that Federer's hope of winning the championship might be gone, but at least this time, Federer took the lead in defeating Seppi and advanced to the quarterfinals. Said, this situation is much better, let's celebrate first.

From Melbourne to Indian Wells, although it still takes a little more time to observe, it can be clearly felt that the top players in the world have gradually stabilized—

From average strength to on-the-spot performance to stable state, they are forming a "first echelon", and here they continue to play the core theme of "Big Four VS Challengers".

The Big Four are still those four familiar faces.

The challengers, Wawrinka and Gao Wen stand out, Nishikori Kei, Raonic, Dimitrov, Cilic and others, plus Berdych, Ferrer and other old faces.

After a full-scale melee in 2014, the competitive landscape in 2015 gradually revealed a new prototype.
