Match Point

Chapter 345: not very comfortable

"competition is over!"

Zhan Jun has commented on countless games and experienced countless victories, but at this moment, he tried his best to control his emotions, and his slightly trembling voice still leaked the surge in his heart.

"my country's young teenager Gao Wen, in the second round of the US Open, won three consecutive sets after losing two sets first, withstood the severe test of the five-set battle, defeated the Italian master Burelli, and continued to move forward. Win two games in a row to advance to the third round, and successfully entered the top 32 of the 2014 US Open!"

"No matter what the follow-up result is, Gao Wen has already made history again, and his performance of advancing to the third round in his first Grand Slam is also commendable in the world."

"If I remember correctly, the last time a male player at the U.S. Open entered the third round of the Grand Slam for the first time, it was Gao Wen's opponent in the first round, Isner. In 2007, holding a wild card The participating Isner went directly to the third round, and then '1:3' lost to the final champion Federer of the year."

"Now, Gawain is repeating Isner's magical performance once again, making history with every step, and we are in the rock zone to witness it first-hand.

Zhan Jun is worthy of being an encyclopedia. He has historical knowledge at his fingertips. A horizontal comparison immediately makes the audience deeply understand how rare Gao Wen's feat is. Very rare.

Hu Litao's mood also soared, and he said with a smile on his face.

"The final score of the game is '5:7', '6:7', '6:4', '6:3', '6:2'."

"The time of the whole game was finally fixed at three hours and fifty-four minutes, which is not far from four hours."

"After this game is over, Court 17 is scheduled for another superstar match. Belis, who upset Cibulkova in the first round, will face Kazakhstan's unseeded player Dias here. , this game is also a focus battle, because the American genius girl is likely to pass another level and advance to the third round."

"If this is the case, then this US Open may witness the rise of two young talents."

Zhan Jun never imagined that they would also have such a day, sitting happily in the studio talking and laughing happily.

It can be seen from the schedule of the U.S. Open that Gao Wen and Bai Lisi, who both upset and advanced in the first round, have been marked as "worthy of attention" future stars, and they are both arranged on the 17th court like a golden boy and a jade girl. , looking forward to the two players being able to drive the attendance of the audience.

At least, Gao Wen has successfully completed the task, and the next step is to see Bellis.

Boom boom boom!

Ahhh!

Oh oh oh!

Stadium No. 17, thunderous applause and cheers, because they witnessed a wonderful game, because they appreciated a Jedi reversal of losing two and winning three, because they witnessed the rising of young players, the excitement The excitement and excitement cannot be expressed accurately in words.

Because the applause and shouts were so loud that there was no dialogue between Gao Wen and Burley during the post-match handshake.

Actually, Gao Wen wanted to say a few more words.

In today's game, Burley taught Gao Wen another lesson, how to handle the game, how to adjust tactics, and how to grasp the rhythm.

Although Burley is not the top group of players in the tour, and the highest ranking in his career has not entered the top 30, but the content of this game is extremely rich, and the experience he brought to Gao Wen even surpassed the first round. , even though those contents were originally Gao Wen's strengths, he still had a lot to learn.

The two players fought for nearly four hours, and both sides had already played their best, and they really felt burned out.

But because of the noise in the audience, no words could be uttered after all. They just hugged each other vigorously, exchanged a look and a smile, and everything was silent.

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Even though Burley had already left the field, the cheers and screams on the 17th court continued to surge, just like a grand carnival party, which could go on without the presence of players, and they were two Everyone is dancing and singing to their heart's content.

Crowded!

Seeing such a grand occasion, Gao Wen was still not used to it.

In the NCAA or Challenger League before, the game ended and there was no post-match interaction between players and fans; but the Grand Slam seems to be different.

When watching the live broadcast of the game, the top big-name players have an interactive session after winning. One part is the host’s on-site interview, and the other part is the interaction between the players and the fans. Djokovic’s celebration of “sending” love to the audience is very unique. Iconic, in addition to giving his wristbands, jerseys, and even sneakers to the audience and so on.

So, are only big-name players entitled to such treatment? Or is it only the center court that sets up relevant links?

However, after Tuesday's game ended, there was no interview or interaction, and Gao Wen left the Arthur-Ashe Stadium directly. He felt that he had no fans for the time being, so he only needed to wave his hand to thank the audience, otherwise he would throw It would be embarrassing to wink at a blind person.

In this regard, Gao Wen still retains the virtue of modesty in Confucian culture. After all, he is a novice in Grand Slam, so it is always good to be modest and polite.

The same is true today.

Gao Wen tidied up his equipment, returned to the stadium, showed a polite smile, waved to the audience, thanked them for coming to watch his game, then turned around and started to walk towards the direction where Huaxia fans gathered. go-

In any case, I am very grateful to the fellow fans who came to the scene to cheer and cheer today.

As a result, he had just taken two steps, but found that several spectators in the audience stand in front of him were waving their arms at him continuously, and then motioned him to turn around and look behind.

Gawain didn't understand, so he widened his eyes, "The back?"

What happened in the back?

Turning around, Gao Wen saw at a glance that most of the spectator stands behind the players' dugout had been emptied. An eleven or twelve-year-old boy with blond hair was holding a tennis ball that was comparable to a basketball. Xiang mother seemed to be muttering something.

Um?

What's going on here?

"Fans~lightnovelpub.net~ That's your fan!"

The shouts of the audience came from behind, blowing into Gawain's ears along with the wind amidst the noise of the audience.

Gao Wen, who had just fought for nearly four hours, paused for a moment before reacting.

ah! fan!

Wait, I've only played two matches in the US Open, yet I already have fans? And not a fan of college alumni? Not a compatriot fan from China?

Dazed for a moment, Gao Wen put down his equipment bag, and trotted all the way back to his rest area, and then he could vaguely hear the voice of the little boy crying.

"He didn't hear. Mother, he didn't hear!"

The aggrieved expression came into view, and the lady comforted him twice, but the little boy finally couldn't hold back, and the golden beans fell down one by one.

The next second, the lady raised her head and met Gawain's gaze. Seeing Gawain's bright eyes, the corner of her mouth smiled involuntarily.
