Match Point

Chapter 479: final stage

"Match Point(

poof.

poof.

Just after finishing the simple warm-up, I can clearly feel the strong force of the heart hitting the chest. A kind of conflicting emotions mixed with tension and excitement, anticipation and apprehension are rolling in the stomach, so that the muscles seem to be faintly tense, and I can't help Take a deep breath again.

finals.

When the feet are really standing in the tunnel of the Arthur Ashe Stadium and ready to appear on the field, the sense of reality swarms up, a little unbelievable and a little bloody:

After the U.S. Championship ended, I sprinted all the way to the US Open, constantly challenging the limit and breaking through myself, looking forward to releasing all my enthusiasm on the Grand Slam stage; Reality, happiness, and joy swelled up in my chest.

The dream that was once out of reach, seems to be able to feel the warmth and brilliance at the fingertips.

Plop!

Plop!

The beating power of the heart became stronger, as if it was about to break through the shackles of the chest and explode in the next second. When I came to the final stage, the atmosphere and state were still different after all, and the mood was naturally different, and my thoughts were full of emotion. The ground is intertwined and continues to roll.

In fact, Gao Wen knew that the final is different after all, just like what he said to Tobias, in tennis, only the final is special, because there is only one championship trophy in a tournament, and all the games before the final are for Struggling to advance to the final, and the final is to fight for the championship, the whole nature is different.

Naturally, the pressure of the final is completely different from the pressure of other competitions, and there is no comparison at all.

But when he really felt the scorching heat of tension and anticipation rolling in his stomach, Gao Wen realized that even if he was reborn, he could not become invincible and invincible. He was still an ordinary person after all, facing the opportunity to win the Grand Slam championship After all, it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses.

Until this moment, the weight of the word "Grand Slam" has never been clearer than ever. Among the active players in the entire professional tennis world, there are only six male players who can reach the top of the Grand Slam champion. The four giants and Del Potro , Wawrinka, the championship gold cup that countless players have dreamed of but have never had the chance to touch.

And now, they will start the ultimate contest for this championship trophy.

call…

Gao Wen stood still and began to shake his hands and feet to try to relax his muscles, but he immediately realized that there was still a little caddy standing beside him, so he quickly restrained his movements and turned to look at the little one beside him—

In the final, the two players will appear on the stage accompanied by small caddy.

At this time, Gao Wen realized that the little guy beside him was also very nervous, his eyes were staring ahead in fear, and his body subconsciously leaned towards Gao Wen's position, but because of Gao Wen's warm-up action, he had to distance himself , his slightly raised left hand was trying to grab the corner of Gao Wen's clothes, but he couldn't catch it all the time, and then hung in mid-air like this, stiff.

Gao Wen's heart warmed slightly, and he grabbed the little boy's left hand.

The little boy raised his head reflexively, but found that Gao Wen was really too tall, his neck was almost broken but he still couldn't see it, and he staggered a small step back when his center of gravity was unstable.

Gawain grabbed his left hand and pulled it back. He quickly squatted down and opened his left arm to protect the little boy. As a result, the little boy bumped into Gawain's arm awkwardly and rubbed his nose in embarrassment. The appearance made the corners of Gao Wen's mouth rise slightly.

Gawain thought for a while, looked up at Cilic who was standing not far behind, then approached the little boy's ear, and whispered in a low voice.

"I'll tell you a secret, I'm actually very nervous."

The little boy's eyes widened, and those blue eyes were filled with the astonishment of "how is this possible".

Gao Wen nodded slightly to express his affirmation, and put his index finger on his lips to make a "shh" gesture, and looked at Cilic standing behind him out of the corner of his eye, "I don't want to expose myself."

The little boy turned his head and glanced at Cilic, then turned his head quickly, covered his mouth with his hands to show that he was "sealed", and his fluttering eyes also came alive.

The smiles in Gao Wen's eyes also surged, "Just play in a while, just wave to the audience, we help each other, what do you think?"

The little boy nodded cheerfully, with a smile creeping up his eyebrows.

Then-

At 5:05 p.m. local time, the 2014 US Open men's singles final officially kicked off. The final opponents, Gao Wen and Cilic, appeared successively.

The audience's attention was all on the two players. Only the live broadcast cameraman noticed the "strangeness" of the caddy next to Gao Wen. He was like a robot, showing a mechanical smile, and then waving his hands continuously. Taking care of the audience at 80 degrees, even when the players, referees, and ball boys took pictures together, they kept the same posture and smile.

It's unbearable.

Before the caddy left the field, Gao Wen and the caddy high-fived. Only a small number of spectators could see the little boy bouncing all the way away from the field in high spirits. I also sketched it lightly, and the tight heartstrings slowly relaxed like this——

Instead of focusing on wins and losses and championships, it is better to enjoy this game.

Two weeks ago, Gao Wen did not expect that he would be able to stand on the stage of the final~lightnovelpub.net~, nor did he expect that he would receive global attention at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

He raised his head and looked at the stadium in front of him. In fact, Gao Wen was no stranger to him. By accident, this was already his fifth game on the center court. On the other hand, it was only the second time for Cilic to enter the center court. But today, the stadium seems to be a little different.

In the evening, the sunset glowed in the sky, and the gorgeous and magnificent purple-red halo was sprinkled all over the sky. The outline of the top of the court was trimmed with a gold border. The cool breeze, the dry heat slowly settled, without the heat and dullness of the afternoon. It seemed that, This is an appropriate time to play.

So let the battle begin, he couldn't wait.

"CCTV, CCTV..."

"This is ESPN..."

"This is Sky TV..."

"This is Fuji TV..."

"...Welcome to the final match of the last Grand Slam tournament of 2014, the men's singles final..."

"... against Marin Cilic from Croatia..."

"...and Gao Wen from China, the lineup for the finals is obviously something no one could have expected two weeks ago..."

"Gao Wen directly entered the main draw list with the wild card issued by the US Tennis Association. He is currently ranked 193 in the world..."

“…he beat Isner, Burelli, Kyrgios, Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori and Djokovic on his way to promotion, including four top 15 players in the world, and There are also two Grand Slam champions this year, which can be described as full of gold..."

swish swish.

swish swish.

The radio waves are intertwined, covering the whole world, and the bustling heat waves can't wait to fill the air.
