ten days.

Fly by, and before you even get to enjoy it, the holidays are over.

Afterwards, after a short three-day training, Gao Wen embarked on another journey, leaving Los Angeles for Delhi, India, to fight for his country, to face India in the Davis Cup, and to fight for a place in the World Group play-offs.

Among the accompanying team, there is no figure of MacDonald—

It’s not because Macdonald is still moaning and didn’t make a decision, but because the Davis Cup is representing the country, and Gawain tried to keep the entourage as small as possible, with only Pelt accompanying him alone. Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated to bring a batting partner for a weekend match.

The game against India was more difficult than expected.

Although the promotion of tennis in India is not extensive, compared with cricket, which is crowded with people, it is a sky and an underground, and the singles arena has always lacked a leading figure; but in fact, India has always been the kingdom of tennis doubles, occupying an important page in the professional tennis arena:

Mahesh-bhupathi, Leander-paes, Sania-mirza and other players have all reached the top of the doubles world and won multiple Grand Slam titles. They are legends in the doubles field.

Thanks to the leadership of these top players, Indian tennis also has its own heritage and glory, not only in doubles, but also in singles.

In fact, neither Bhupathi nor Pace signed up for the Davis Cup this year. India's strongest doubles team has become its weakest link.

However, among Indian singles players, three of the current generation of Indian singles players are ranked among the top 150 in the world, and their overall strength is not weak. Therefore, they are ranked second in Asia/Oceania, second only to Uzbekistan led by Istomin, and have good competitiveness.

It is conceivable that all the burdens were heavy on Gawain's shoulders—

The media generally speculated that in order to ensure victory, Huaxia should arrange Gao Wen's two singles matches to guarantee two victories, and then fight for the other three matches, especially doubles matches, hoping to usher in a breakthrough, grab a victory, and advance to the next round.

And yet... no.

In an interview, Li Zhe said that Gao Wen is very cooperative and active. Whether it is singles or doubles, he is willing to play. He also very much hopes to carry the banner and lead the team forward, and lead China to the highest stage in the Davis Cup.

In fact, Gao Wen volunteered to take the responsibility of two singles matches.

But the team also reached a consensus that they should trust Gao Wen, but they should not rely solely on Gao Wen.

Otherwise, Gao Wen dragged the team forward alone, faltering. Even if they beat India to advance to the next round, they would still be unable to move forward when facing more severe challenges in the play-offs. They should not be Gao Wen's burden, on the contrary, they should become Gao Wen's help in fighting side by side.

India, is a challenge, but at the same time it is the only way for them to go to the next stage-

"We need to show a face of growth and we need to show a sense of community."

If even India needs to be prepared, what should they do when they face the top 20 teams in the world?

Therefore, Huaxia was very bold and risky, and only arranged for Gao Wen to play a single.

Facts have proved that this team is indeed growing.

On the first match day, witness surprises, but also witness history.

Gao Wen, the first singles, took the lead.

Facing Somdev-devvarman (Somdev-devvarman), who is ranked 87th in the world, Gao Wen swept his opponent in three straight sets.

"6:2", "6:1", "6:1".

The whole game took less than 100 minutes, showing a good competitive state, and showing the demeanor of the world's second, there is no suspense about the outcome.

Zhang Ze, the second single, followed closely behind.

Zhang Ze's opponent is a young rookie, Yuki-Bhambri (Yuki-bhambri), born in 1992. Although the latter is currently ranked only 147th in the world, his rising momentum is very fierce, comparable to Zhang Ze's. This game is also generally considered to be a fierce battle.

The game was indeed very, very stalemate.

In the first four sets, the two players were evenly divided, "6:4", "4:6", "6:1", "5:7".

Banbury is in front and Zhang Ze is behind.

Although Bambry's offense is rough, it is extremely strong. The whole batting has the attitude of young people who are unwilling to give up, and the three-axes can also make great contributions.

Especially in the third and fourth sets, Zhang Ze showed extreme physical fitness and obviously couldn't hold on to the game. It was very difficult, very, very difficult. He once faced a dangerous situation and stood on the edge of a cliff.

After a fatal break at the end of the fourth set, the final set became more and more courageous. He seized the loophole in the uneven distribution of young people's physical fitness that led to obvious ups and downs in the final stage, and unexpectedly broke Bambry's two serve games in a row, leading and strong all the way, and won the final set in one fell swoop.

"2:6".

Zhang Ze wins.

An unexpected victory, a vital victory, a self-defeating victory—

Following his unexpected breakthrough at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, Zhang Ze also ushered in progress in the Davis Cup.

Immediately afterwards, with this momentum and energy, the third doubles match was completely under Huaxia's control.

The partner of Wu Di and Li Zhe was in full condition, won two tie-breaks in a row to widen the gap, destroyed the opponent in one go in the third set, and finally defeated the young Indian doubles team with a score of "6:1", UU Kanshu www. uukanshu.com came to an end in an unimaginable but hearty way.

"3:0"!

Although there is still a second match day to be played, China has already made history. After 25 years since 1990, it has returned to the ranks of the World Group play-offs, striving to enter the World Group next year to witness the highest level of competition.

Speaking of accidents, it was indeed an accident, especially the "3:0" score, which was so crisp and straightforward, it was absolutely unexpected.

It’s not surprising, but it’s not surprising. Gao Wen’s existence not only plays the role of Ding Haishenzhen, but at the same time, this young player has set an example to unite the team. Now this group of players who are in their prime have also been encouraged, and their performance on and off the field is slowly improving.

Maybe, for the players, for the media and for the fans, they need to get used to the fact that Gawain's arrival is bringing more changes, they need a little bit of time.

Originally, people thought it was full of suspense. Before the game, they kept exaggerating the atmosphere, emphasizing the strength of India, emphasizing that this opponent must not be underestimated, trying to create some expectations and drama, just like the World Cup. The opponents you see in Asia every time are "not to be taken lightly."

result-

That's it?

To achieve the goal so lightly is like traveling to Delhi at public expense, sweeping the victory, and turning around without taking a cloud.

So much so that the media and netizens were a little bit abducted, and it seemed that they couldn't celebrate, and even the cheers were less passionate.

So, is this what it's like to have Messi in Argentine football?
