Match Point

Chapter 2070: Full of confidence

The war situation is about to break out—

This year, since the clay court season, the battle for the world's No. 1 ranking has been a hot topic, with ups and downs, twists and turns, and finally continued to the end of the season.

But what’s interesting is that although the topic has started to come up since the end of the Sunshine Double Championship, because Djokovic has a very obvious point advantage, the two players have never had the opportunity to win a “head-to-head dialogue”. Until now, in the year-end general meeting A valuable opportunity came on the final stage.

The "positive dialogue" mentioned here is not just a matchup, but a game that can turn the situation around. Whoever wins a game can keep the number one in the world, or whoever wins a game can reach the top. The number one in the world, like a champion, has an opportunity to compete.

Now, it's finally here.

Although it is belatedly coming, although it is full of suspense, it is better to come late than to come by chance. At the O2 Arena and in the year-end finals, a positive dialogue will be completed.

Between winning and losing, it is not just a question of who will be the champion, but who will be ranked number one in the world will also usher in an earth-shaking key turning point. It is so exciting.

This is the picture that people have been waiting for.

It is precisely because of this that this semi-final is more sensitive, exciting and suspenseful.

The fans exploded at once—

After the pre-match predictions and the direction of victory and defeat came out, the collective entered explosion mode.

Djokovic fans: Be bold!

The world's No. 1 ranking has not yet changed hands, and Djokovic is still the No. 1 player. One or two have already begun to pessimize? Don’t worry, Djokovic has never been afraid of challenges. He will respond to doubts with practical actions and once again defend his throne. They can’t wait for the game to start.

Gawain's fans: Fight!

They have never needed the support of those professionals, because Gao Wen has been constantly moving forward amid doubts and provocations in his career so far, proving himself time and time again, and this time is no exception. Gao Wen is ready, not for the world's No. 1 ranking. One just fights to win.

Neutral fans: It’s a fight, it’s a fight!

They don't care who wins or loses, but this year's year-end finals have been disappointing several times, so can the next game be more exciting? There is no requirement for the quality of the Australian Open final or the US Open final. The quality of the Imperial Capital final or the Paris Masters final is enough.

The o2 stadium is like a powder keg, igniting and exploding at the drop of a hat.

Everything points to this head-on confrontation that is highly anticipated and anticipated.

Close your eyes, listen and feel with your heart, the heat wave surging in the air will hit your chest hard, and your blood will quietly boil.

However, the more excited you are, the calmer you will be, and the more excited you will be, the calmer you will be.

The chat between Gawain and Bob last night was not polite or modest, he was serious.

In just eighteen months, Gao Wen and Djokovic are about to meet for the eleventh time. In the past three months alone, they have faced each other four times. The two players already know each other's technical and tactical combinations thoroughly. They know everything about each other's batting habits and so on, there are no secrets.

Of course, there must be something new every time we meet, and some adjustments will be made at the technical and tactical levels, but these are details, not frameworks.

In other words, instead of trying to win by surprise, it is better to be down-to-earth and steady, put yourself first, and then adapt to the actual situation.

Everything depends on on-the-spot performance, and the more top players compete, the more so.

Gawain admitted that he was under pressure—

The competition for the number one spot in the world at the end of the year is an objective fact and a focus that cannot be ignored. Instead of pretending that it does not exist, it is better to frankly admit your desire for victory and the urgency of the goal, and then turn the pressure into motivation. Back to the game itself.

Right now, the only one who needs to focus is Djokovic. That's all.

calm!

The focus of his vision gradually gathered, and all the waves and flames calmed down, turned into faith and fighting spirit, and quietly settled down.

The o2 stadium host's introduction came to my ears, and the cheers on the scene were rising steadily, and I could clearly feel the rising temperature of the heat wave.

ah!

Ahhhh!

Then, Gao Wen carried his equipment bag, stepped onto the court, waved, and instantly ignited the whole stadium.

boom-

"Fight!"

The screams and shouts transformed instantly, condensed into a rope, and exploded with incredible energy, making the entire stadium tremble.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

again and again.

Again and again.

Even if you have no passion for tennis, even if you have no experience in competitive sports, you can still feel the powerful and ferocious beating of your heart at this moment. A strange and turbulent, surging and hot emotion instantly floods your brain, burning all reason. Exhausted, falling into madness.

At this moment, in the next two hours, temporarily put down the worries and burdens of life, devote yourself wholeheartedly to a sport, feel the pulse, feel the heartbeat, feel the struggle, feel the battle, and break away from repeating yourself day after day. life, feel life again.

This is the energy that Gawain brings now.

Then, Djokovic appeared.

Obviously, the world's number one fans came well prepared, and the energy that burst out in an instant completely changed the atmosphere of the O2 Stadium in a voracious manner.

"Noel! Bang bang!"

"Noel! Bang bang!"

One sound after another, incredibly surpassing the heat wave just now~lightnovelpub.net~ pushed the atmosphere to a new peak, causing the entire audience to be shocked.

Now it seems that Djokovic's fans are really irritated. Like Djokovic, they have an unprecedented fighting spirit.

If you don’t lose people, you don’t lose the team, and you don’t lose the ball—

From the very beginning, the fans took a tough stance to express their stance. Before the game even started, there was already a smell of gunpowder in the air.

You come and go, not giving an inch.

The tense and anxious atmosphere continued to the two players:

The relationship between Djokovic and Gao Wen has always been delicate. Especially after this year's Australian Open, it was once tense. Although both sides later expressed respect for each other, friendship, like love, also requires a little fate.

Maybe they weren't enemies, but certainly they weren't friends either.

During the handshake session before the game, you can faintly feel the slight tension in the air.

Later, during the coin guessing session, Djokovic guessed correctly and chose to serve first.

Every detail makes a slight difference.

In Djokovic's games, he rarely chooses to serve first. As we all know, Djokovic is good at receiving the serve, but his serving ability is often underestimated; but Djokovic I don’t mind it either, I often choose to start by receiving the serve, using the serve as my secret weapon.

Today, not so.

Djokovic understands the importance of having the right to serve on indoor hard courts, especially when facing a dangerous opponent like Gao Wen, so he did not hesitate to choose to serve first.

Moreover, he showed his determination and status from the very beginning.

Bend your knees, push off the ground, turn around, swing the racket—

AcE.

Landing, score.

The first men's singles semi-final begins.
