A bold assumption:

If Karlovic defeats Murray in five sets in an upset, after Nadal, the second giant will stop early and completely overturn the tournament draw.

For Wimbledon, this is bad news. The elite quarterfinals, which should have kicked off a wonderful show, lost two superstars early.

But for Gao Wen, it was great news. Because Karlovic's overall strength is inferior to that of Murray, and because Gao Wen's pressure to draw the table is relieved, at least he does not need to replicate the miracle of Melbourne Park to face three giants in a row to be able to attack the championship trophy.

As for the audience?

Obviously, local fans will be heartbroken and disappointed, but fans of Federer and Djokovic will be relieved that the title fight's strongest opponent has been knocked out in the fourth round. The chances of a No. 2 seed joining forces skyrocketed.

— "7:6(5.

On that side, the fourth set between Murray and Karlovic was over, and the result came out.

In the end, Murray won.

After a hard fight in four sets, Murray defeated Karlovic to advance to the quarterfinals, continuing his undefeated golden body in the grass court season.

As a result, all worries, all speculations, and all fog were dispelled; at the same time, the bustling expectations could officially boil with gongs and drums.

"Gowin VS Murray" is about to debut!

So far, Gao Wen and Murray have played against each other twice in their careers, and each player has won one game. However, in the semi-finals at Melbourne Park at the beginning of the year, it was the young and energetic Gao Wen who had the last laugh. This time he came to Wimbledon Deng, in Murray's best and favorite grass duel, everything is brand new.

As the leader of the "Challenger League", Gao Wen is the youngest player to achieve the feat of "beating the Big Four". He has undoubtedly become a banner. Every meeting between Gao Wen and the Big Four is full of sparks and exciting Constantly, it seems to have become a major attraction outside of the internal duel of the Big Four.

Expectations, bubbling.

However, there are also hidden dangers in the game-

injury.

In the third round match against Seppi, Murray suffered an injury to his right shoulder, which seriously affected his serve and led to a "1:6" defeat in the third set; fortunately, after on-site treatment and bandaging, Murray found him in time. After returning to the state, Seppi was eliminated in the last four sets, but this still became an uncertain time bomb.

Coming to this game, Murray's right shoulder was wrapped with a thick bandage, and his serving action was a bit cumbersome, which directly affected the quality of his serving, so he had to change his serving strategy; in the end, Murray withstood the test and defeated Karlovic after three hours of hard work , But after the game, reporters still raised concerns.

After all, Gao Wen, this is a difficult opponent. Even on Gao Wen's most unfamiliar grassland, this young player has already proved himself; Still regard Gao Wen as a dangerous opponent.

From these details, it can be felt that Gao Wen is using his actual performance to establish his position in the professional tennis world step by step. Maybe the doubts still exist, and maybe the provocation will not disappear, but compared with the clay court season, the recognition from reporters and the public is not good. It has been improved.

"Everything is moving in a positive direction."

In this regard, Murray said so.

Although injuries have not disappeared, they are still part of the game; but from another perspective, injuries themselves are part of professional sports. Professional players fight with more or less minor or severe injuries, learn to endure pain and In the face of injuries, this is the basic professionalism.

Murray answered the reporter's question. It has been three days since the injury, and he can rest for a day. He has been doing basic physical therapy; Be ready when you step on the field.

Compared with the worried local reporters, Murray seemed much calmer.

Obviously, this wasn't the first time he fought with injuries, and it probably wouldn't be the last. His target had already turned to Gao Wen, and he was looking forward to a wonderful duel.

Very, very unexpectedly, in the post-match press conference, it was not Murray's next-round opponent, Gao Wen, but Kyrgios who caused the most discussion.

Unlike other top players, Murray and Kyrgios have always had a good personal relationship; similarly, Kyrgios also thinks that Murray is the most pleasing to the eye of the Big Four, although Kyrgios complained more than once about Murray's poor performance against the other Big Three. record, but Murray always laughs at himself generously.

Murray thinks that Kyrgios' rise to fame was too sudden. Standing in the spotlight at the age of 18, it is difficult for people to understand how difficult it is to grow up bathed in the spotlight, and they don't know how terrible it is to bear heavy responsibilities at a young age. What Gauss needs now is the right guidance and help.

Federer, Djokovic, and Murray, after they became famous at a young age, they all experienced the same predicament, but they were not as deviant as Kyrgios. It's the same growing pains.

but-

When the reporters mentioned Gao Wen who was the first Grand Slam champion at the age of 19 and was surrounded by spotlights but never collapsed or broke out, Murray also made a rare joke.

"Oh, very, very occasionally, we can always see some monsters."

"For example, Rafa, or Gao Wen."

A light joke successfully resolved the atmosphere of the scene, but never expected that this topic would be extended to Gao Wen's press conference later:

The reporters tried to sow discord and tied Murray and Kyrgios together, thinking that they were united against Gao Wen and asked Gao Wen for his opinion.

Gawain didn't panic about this at all, and replied meaningfully, "Oh... It seems that our definition of monsters may be slightly different."

this?

After chewing it carefully, the reporters realized one after another. Obviously, Gao Wen's irony was just making fun of him, and Kyrgios was the monster.

It was easy to say, understatement, without mentioning Murray or Kyrgios in the whole process, but the counterattack was completed invisibly.

Of course, the more important thing is that there is no need to be serious, just to mention it, such a gesture makes the reporters want to continue to fan the flames.

high! It's really high!

However, UU Reading www. uukanshu. com Murray is not targeting Gao Wen, but empathizes with him.

"Actually, emotional management is not what I'm good at."

"I've come a long way since I was in my early twenties, but there are still fans who don't like my emotional management on the pitch, accusing me of yelling and too much negativity. "

"I also admit that I still have room for improvement. This year's Australian Open semi-finals is the best example. I can do better. Although Gao Wen is younger than me, he has maintained a stable mentality and calmly found ways to reverse the situation. way, so he became the final winner of that match."

"Facing him at the All England Club this time, emotional management is still the homework in front of us. He is a very smart player. I need to keep calm."

"So, let's wait and see."
