In the singles match of the National Championships, in the quarterfinals, Gao Wen faced the "Black Mark Star" Sarkesson, who was a player who grabbed the rising point and controlled the rhythm of the game. At that time, the media thought that he was very likely to become Gao Wen's Nemesis, because Sarkesen can compress the time for Gao Wen to think about the layout.

After all, Sarkeeson is only an NCAA player with limited strength, but if Sarkeeson grows up, the template in the tour should be Fognini-his unconstrained style of hitting the ball to grab points and control points can make the game easy and freehand. Or... Kei Nishikori.

Raonic plays the same style as Isner and Kyrgios. Obviously, Gawain is not afraid; but Kei Nishikori is a typical baseline player. He is best at grabbing rising points and rhythm points , especially under the coach of Zhang Depei, he adjusted ten technical movements back and forth, and slowly began to learn to play with his mind.

In an interview, Kei Nishikori once said,

"Playing with the mind consumes a lot of physical strength and energy. There is not much time and space for my mind to be distracted in a game. The mind has to be turned all the time, which is very difficult."

Under the guidance of Zhang Depei, Kei Nishikori made full use of his strengths and circumvented his weaknesses, avoiding the shortcomings of his height, giving full play to his characteristics of low center of gravity and fast movement, grabbing rising points and rhythmic connection points, controlling the rhythm of the game, and then using his strength to fight. To the extreme, this is why he can often have a strong impact in the opponent's serve.

Originally, it might be very difficult to grab the rising point when encountering Nadal's super topspin, but Kei Nishikori gave full play to his advantage of fast footwork, and shot first when the spin was fully released. Can make Nadal feel great pressure—

Because Nadal is a typical clay court player who likes slow rhythm and long rounds. It was not until 2017 and 2018 that after the coaching staff remodeled, in order to adapt to the changes in age and body, Nadal's game rhythm gradually became faster. .

It is precisely because of this that although as of 2014, Kei Nishikori had a record of seven matches against Nadal, and it was not until the Toronto Masters in 2015 that he defeated Nadal for the first time; Nadal is very awkward. For example, at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, the two met in the top 16. In the end, Nadal narrowly won with a score of "7:6", "7:5", and "7:6".

Kei Nishikori is what Sarkesen hopes to grow up to look like.

Especially this year, Kei Nishikori has risen in an all-round way, with a very strong upward momentum. This year, he is ranked No. 10 at the US Open.

From the point of view of the style of play, Gao Wen is really hard to face Kei Nishikori, but against Raonic, regardless of the outcome, at least it will be much easier.

Tobias' consideration is not unreasonable.

But the question is, is Tobias really considering the problem of tennis tactics and style of play? Or... all this is a cover-up to cover up the real purpose?

Therefore, Gawain did not answer Tobias' question, but just looked at Tobias with a smile on his face.

After all, Tobias was defeated and raised his hand in surrender, "Actually, I want to come over to check on your condition, because I need to make a decision."

"Your decision shouldn't depend on whether I can continue to win in the next round, right?" Gawain immediately sensed the deep meaning in Tobias' words, and then he could see Tobias showing a smile. Smile, although he didn't speak, it seemed to be sure.

Gao Wen also laughed, but he didn't continue joking, but thought about it seriously, "John, to be honest, I still have a lot of shortcomings, but this also means that I still have room for improvement. Whether it is Milos is still Kyu, they are both more mature and experienced, facing any of them, I am at a disadvantage."

Putting aside the topic of whether the style of play is suitable or not, this is the objective reality.

Then Gao Wen raised his head and looked at Tobias, with an understatement but loud firmness in his eyes, "But it also means that I have no burden, I won't be complacent because of my achievements so far, I will still lower myself Hit them with all your strength, hold nothing back, fight until the end of the game and see what happens."

The suspense of victory and defeat, before the start of the game, before the end of the game, no one can assert that everything is possible, this is the greatest charm of competitive sports.

However, the desire for victory and the belief in fighting are another matter.

Anything is possible as long as you have both feet on the field.

Tobias quietly stared at the young man in front of him. With plain words and bright eyes, he could feel the firmness and confidence hidden in it. Modesty does not mean timidity, and caution does not mean shrinking back. On the contrary, The high-spirited fighting spirit emanating from the whole body is so real.

Tobias couldn't help but think of the first time he met Gawain.

Asian faces are not uncommon on the tennis court, but they are not so common, and have always been difficult to see in the top ranks, especially male players. Therefore, they stand out in the bustling crowd but are easily overlooked—

The prominence is due to the difference in appearance, and the neglect is because the low-key and humble temperament is not ostentatious; coupled with the inertial thinking that the ceiling of Asian male players is always obvious, this also creates such a weird situation, obviously noticed But subconsciously choose to ignore.

However, Tobias really noticed Gao Wen, that sunny and calm, confident and generous young man.

At first, Tobias thought it was because of Gawain's style of conversation and temperament, "a bit interesting".

However, after getting a deeper understanding, I realized that the charm emanating from the inside out, the generosity and ease that extend from the court to the outside of the court, and the light emanating from that unique belief are attractive.

Since the beginning of the NCAA, no one has been particularly optimistic about Gao Wen's prospects, but he has made miracles all the way to the present, standing on the stage of the top eight of the US Open, creating miracles step by step, not to prove himself~www.mtlnovel. com~ It was because of fighting to the end and refusing to surrender until the last point landed.

To be honest, Tobias doesn't think Gawain can beat Isner or Gawain can beat Wawrinka.

Of course, he could say in a high-sounding tone that it was because Gao Wen had to make progress slowly and go all out to attack the opponent in order to have a chance of victory.

In fact, he knows that these are all hypocritical and polite words, and the real thought deep in his heart is "there is little hope", and the answer analyzed from an objective point of view is just like this.

But what about the result?

Gawain did it.

The 0.01% possibility turned into a reality, not because of a miracle, but because Gao Wen firmly believed in this glimmer of hope and fought for it to the end, refusing to wait for the miracle to come, using his own hands and legs Fight your way to the other side of the legend.

So, since we have reached the quarter-final stage, why not continue?
