The dark clouds hovering over Wimbledon seemed to gradually dissipate, and a ray of golden sunlight fell through the dense clouds, slowly outlining the The outline of the stadium intertwined with dark green and dark purple.

Boom, boom, boom...

The uniform high-fives and support hit the heart like a torrent of bells, and the bursts of roaring rippled on the eardrums, and the bubbling blood spread to the limbs. , Then, the soul trembled uncontrollably.

Stormy sea!

Overwhelming!

Pulan had forgotten to breathe.

She thought that after experiencing the last game, she had already started to adapt to and even enjoy the game, and she was able to calmly face the atmosphere of the scene.

However, it is not.

A brand new game, a new start, everything is different, but everything is the same, those tensions, stimulations, fears, happiness, panic, anxiety, etc., those intricate tastes are still rolling on the tip of the tongue, Familiar yet completely different.

Federer, squeezed out of the center court; or more accurately, the world's number one and defending champion Djokovic entered the center court.

As for the duel between Murray and Gowan, there is no dispute that it was arranged on the center court. Even Wawrinka's supporters did not raise any opinions.

At 1:00 p.m. local time in London, Murray and Gao Wen appeared one after the other, kicking off the prelude to the quarter-finals.

The scene was full of stars.

In the VIP box, Beckham appeared with his son Romeo, and Ozil also accompanied him; not only that, Princess Kate also appeared.

Even if you don't know much about tennis, the social media boom has fully proved that this is the key battle of this year's Wimbledon.

No one should miss out.

On the social network, there is even more hustle and bustle. Whether they are on the scene or not, netizens have participated in this much-anticipated game in their own way.

However!

The game was interrupted due to rain in less than 25 minutes, and the pouring rain interrupted all ongoing games at the All England Club.

The audience also had to go indoors to shelter from the rain, but there were still a few fanatical fans, wearing raincoats, stubbornly and lonely continuing to sit in the heavy rain, quietly watching the stadium covered by tarpaulins, like the catcher in the rye In general, waiting for the moment when the rain will pass and the sky will clear.

- Full of expectations, but a bucket of cold water in front of you, you have to turn off the fire before your interest is mobilized, which also verifies the traditional old saying:

All good things take time.

In Gao Wen's short career, this is the first time he has experienced a rain interruption in a Grand Slam, and everything is new.

What should players do when heavy rain continues?

Keep warm.

Do simple and basic warm-up training, such as stretching, such as cycling, such as yoga...It is very similar to the warm-up before the game, they need to keep the body warm.

At the same time, these basic exercises are also a means of maintaining focus.

Although the game is interrupted, they cannot be distracted by off-court interference, nor can they be dazed by the long wait. They need to return to the game at any time. Once the concentration is out of the scene, it may take some time to regain the rhythm and state of the game.

Of course, the richer the experience, the easier it is to "come back". There is no shortcut, it all depends on the accumulation of practical experience little by little.

Sampras said that the heavy rain itself has never been the focus, but the continuity of rhythm, state, and environment.

Regarding this, Gao Wen was able to understand part of it, while the other part did not become clear until he had really experienced it.

Like today.

In fact, the downpour was like a three-year-old child. One second he was rolling all over the floor, and the next second he was full of smiles. The thunderstorm lasted less than 20 minutes; cloth, and clear the court to avoid any disturbance from standing water.

While waiting for Murray and Gao Wen to step on the court again, exactly 27 minutes had passed since the last point.

less than half an hour.

From the perspective of warm-up training, this heavy rain is not long. The players' attention is still in the game and they should be able to enter the state soon.

However, after stepping on the court again, Gawain immediately noticed the difference—

Wind, temperature, humidity.

Everything has changed.

People always say that London is a special city that can experience four seasons in one day. Gawain always thinks this is an artistic way of describing, emphasizing the changeable weather; but at this moment, Gawain really understands that this There is absolutely no art work in it.

Before the rain, it was summer.

After the heavy rain, it is winter.

Standing in the center court, the wind is howling.

No wonder Pelt asked Gawain to wear a short-sleeved underwear just before his debut, to absorb sweat and keep warm, especially in low temperature and windy weather, once sweating, the body temperature will drop easily, and it is easy to catch cold. An inner wear with good sweat absorption performance is very important.

Gao Wen didn't pay attention to the thermometer, but the body temperature should have been below ten degrees Celsius. At the same time, the hunting wind was even more exaggerated than Indian Wells. Murray just sent a ball when he was warming up. As a result, the tennis ball bounced off the ground and was directly pushed by the wind. Walking, changing the flight trajectory.

-Rhythm. UU reading www.uukanshu.com status. environment.

Everything needs to start from scratch, that is to say, now and just now are basically two games, and even the tactics formulated before the game need to be adjusted.

Only now did Gao Wen understand what Sampras meant.

Of course, rain has disrupted matches all over the world, but nowhere has the change been as dramatic as Wimbledon.

Moreover, the game was held on the Center Court of the All England Club, a stadium with the most historical heritage, and the whole atmosphere was completely different.

Although it is no longer raining in Wimbledon, thick clouds still hang over the top of the head, and there is a sense of the end of the world.

In this regard, Gao Wen was indeed a novice.

Don't forget, on the opposite side of the net is Murray, one of the Big Four; at the same time, Murray is also the best at brainstorming and tactical layout among the Big Four, although his adaptability is slightly weaker when dealing with unexpected accidents. It is not enough, but it is his strong point to grasp the opportunity.

Therefore, when the game restarted, Murray quickly improved his state, fully fired, and was ready to seize the opportunity of heavy rain to break the balance of the confrontation.
