Match Point

Chapter 348: good luck pass

On that side, the fans were arguing for Gao Wen, feeling sad because there were too few Huaxia fans in the No. 17 stadium, looking forward to seeing more five-star red flags flying over the stadium.

Here, Gao Wen is in a happy mood and walks lightly, because the victory is also due to the fans, even if there is only one fan, it is precious to him as a rookie, and a "come on" with a familiar accent is enough.

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations."

In the player tunnel, the staff coming and going sent their blessings to Gao Wen one after another. I am afraid that every audience who witnessed the progress of the game with their own eyes was no exception, and they were sincerely happy for Gao Wen to arrive.

Then, Gao Wen saw Bellis and Zarina-Diyas who were warming up.

After a 15-minute break and adjustment, Bellis and Dias will be on the stage. This is also the last match of the day on Court 17.

However, the match between Gawain and Burley lasted for too long. It seems that Bellis and Dias should have warmed up for more than one round. It is not one or two games that lose the game due to the dispersion of forces.

Both players are warming up very carefully and are adjusting the state of their small muscles.

Gao Wen's footsteps could not help but pause slightly.

The first time Gao Wen heard of Bellis' name was in 2019 in his previous life.

Retired American women's star Chanda-Rubin (Chanda-Rubin) launched a special project called "Behind-The-Racquet", inviting different professional players to write articles about the life of professional tennis, to fans Show the story behind the movement.

At the time, Bayliss, who had just passed her twentieth birthday, was the star of the latest installment of the story, which recounted a blow to her career.

In 2017, Bellis was in the limelight. Not only did she reach the career-highest 35th place in the world ranking, she also became the Rookie of the Year selected by the WTA that year. A series of outstanding performances once again proved the talent of this talented girl. strength, a bright future unfolds in front of our eyes.

However, in March 2018, Baylis suffered a wrist injury and was forced to truce. Since then, she has started a long injury career. From wrist injury to elbow injury, she has undergone four operations before and after, but there is still no hope dawn.

In one operation, she removed a metal plate in her arm that held the bone in place, but she didn't expect it to be the start of a new injury.

In another operation, the doctor told her after the operation that she needed to amputate another piece of bone to make it shorter so that she could return to the game.

Every call from the doctor was the beginning of a nightmare.

On more than one occasion, Bayliss thought her career might be over; however, the young girl never gave up, battling injuries while continuing her studies at Indiana University, looking forward to her return to college. onto the pitch.

When Gao Wen read the story of Bellis, he couldn't help but look down at his knees. The ugly scars were obviously no longer painful, but they still reminded him of the great turning point in his life. Since then, he took a completely different path.

Later, Gawain inadvertently pays attention to Bellis' story.

Regrettably, after that article was published, Bellis still failed to return to the game quickly. It was not until the end of 2019 that Bellis appeared in the professional arena again after 18 months, and in 2020 In 2010, he performed well at the Australian Open, winning two games in a row and advancing to the third round.

After that, Bellis continued to fight unremittingly, but the injury seemed to take away part of her touch and talent, and her performance began to become unstable. Until Gao Wen woke up again, Belize's world ranking also failed to return to the top 100.

However, she is still standing on the court.

Time flies, and it was the first time that Gao Wen really saw this girl up close. Her smooth long blond hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail, and her fifteen-year-old face still had unresolved baby fat. The fluttering eyes are like Barbie dolls, and there is a vigor between the brows, like the first ray of morning light falling on the dewdrops.

Bellis noticed that Gawain's footsteps stopped, and the movement of lightly crossing steps also paused for a while, showing a big and bright smile.

"Congratulations! The game was very exciting."

If Gao Wen remembered correctly, Bellis lost to Dias in this match and missed the second round, but history has changed now, and the appearance of himself, an Amazon butterfly, has already had a chain reaction.

Maybe, just maybe, Bellis's fate can also change?

So Gao Wen responded with a smile.

"Come on! This is a tough battle, I hope the battle can be over before the sun goes down!"

Then he raised his right hand, gave Bellis a high five in celebration, and winked at Bellis.

"Good luck."

It seems to be saying, pass on my good luck to you, I hope you can also win smoothly today.

Bellis was slightly taken aback, and then a bright smile bloomed.

It was just a face-to-face meeting and a high-five, Gao Wen didn't say anything more, and just walked straight forward.

Bellis couldn't help turning her head to look at Gawain's back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and then she looked away, focusing on her warm-up again.

When Gao Wen arrived at the press conference hall, he could tell at a glance that the press conference hall No. 4 was significantly larger than No. 6, but all the seats were still full today, especially the number of Asian faces increased, which was visible to the naked eye. To higher popularity—

Especially before the press conference starts, UU reads www.uukanshu. com Gao Wen watched the live score board, and Peng Shuai's match was over. She beat Radwanska in straight sets with a wonderful performance, breaking the records of Gao Wen and Bellis, and creating a new record for the current U.S. competition. Highest seed record for net outs.

Gawain also clenched his fists in celebration.

But Gao Wen thought that Peng Shuai's post-match press conference should be more lively. After all, the weight of the victory was different, but it turned out that the press conference on the 4th was crowded with shoulders, and there were even reporters wandering outside the corridor, thinking To squeeze into the room by force, the blowing heat wave is no less than the afternoon sun.

From this point of view, it should be because Gao Wen continued to create history. This should be an unimaginable and unsurpassable feat for Huaxia men's tennis. From no victory to two consecutive victories, such a leap forward is really amazing. So much so that the reporters all went crazy.

In fact, it is true.

But to be precise, Gao Wen only got half of the guesses right, not the other half.

"...For the next round, what do you expect? Your opponent will be between Kyrgios and Seppi. The game is currently in progress, and Kyrgios leads with a big score of '2:0', that is to say, you There's a good chance it's going to be a matchup with Kyrgios."
