Match Point

Chapter 1840: rush into darkness

boom.

There was a muffled sound.

Not a loud noise, not thunder, just a muffled sound, someone fell in the locker room.

Maybe, some people will say, it’s just wrestling, what’s the fuss about?

Indeed, wrestling is just wrestling, and even wrestling on flat ground is not uncommon. There is no need to make a fuss out of a molehill and show a lack of common sense.

But similarly, if someone falls, it's just a fall, and it's okay if he stands up and pats his butt; however, if someone falls, he may fall into a predicament that he did not expect.

For example, Bouchard.

Last year, after reaching the semi-finals of three consecutive Grand Slams, Bouchard undoubtedly became the hottest beauty of the year. She took over the title of "Sweetheart" and became a new and beautiful sight in the WTA. There were constant topics on and off the court. In the women's The arena also set off a strong rise of youth storm.

However, with last year's US Open as a turning point, Bouchard fell into a cycle of slow decline. This year's spring season after the Australian Open was even more difficult to win. After consecutive first-round exits at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, , lost a huge amount of points, and the world ranking plummeted.

From "genius girl" to "no such person", in just one year, Bouchard experienced a thrilling roller coaster ride between heaven and hell.

Returning to the North American hard court season in the summer, Bouchard hired legendary Jimmy Connors as his coach.

Connors has a series of records that are difficult to surpass in his career. Although eight Grand Slam championship trophies are not the most, 109 singles championship trophies are an unattainable height. He is also the only one in history. A male player with more than 100 singles titles.

His stability and tenacity are undoubtedly a monument in professional tennis. The transformation he can bring to Bouchard is exactly what the beautiful girl needs most urgently now.

This move had an immediate effect—

Arriving in Flushing, Bouchard rediscovered her game touch. After defeating Cibulkova in three hard-fought sets, she returned to the second week of the Grand Slam.

At the same time, she also won all first-round matches in women's doubles and mixed doubles, making her the only player to compete on three fronts at this year's US Open and still remain in the draw.

From the peak to the trough, and then back to form again, Bouchard's experience in just one year is legendary and rich enough.

Everything seemed to be finally back on track, and at the post-match press conference, Bouchard rarely found his smile again.

However.

No one expected that when he returned to the locker room after the press conference and went to the physical therapy room to prepare for an ice bath, Bouchard accidentally slipped, hit his head, and became dizzy.

After initial testing by doctors, Bouchard suffered a mild concussion.

The situation is far worse than expected.

On the advice of doctors, Bouchard reluctantly announced the launch of women's doubles and mixed doubles events. As for the singles competition, he awaited follow-up attention and evaluation.

From injuries and withdrawals to suspicions of colds to concussions caused by wrestling in the locker room, even though last year's US Open had already witnessed a miracle, this year's US Open easily refreshed the perception because it was so bizarre and absurd that it made people doubt all of it. All the scripts are performances.

Are you sure, isn't this Woody Allen filming "Match Point 2"?

Compared with Bouchard, Gawain's accidental injury was nothing more than water, and the hot spots on social networks were transferred in the blink of an eye.

Those doubts, those complaints, those hatreds, etc. disappeared in an instant. In the heated discussion that swept the screen, Gawain became a supporting role, and Bouchard won her attention again—
