Chapter 610: tough soldier

After the game, Fey Lopez took off his hairband, the regret in his eyes slowly dissipated, showing a big smile, trotting towards Gawain, and then grabbed Gawain's right hand, with Spain Human enthusiasm hugged Gao Wen tightly, and patted Gao Wen's back heavily with his left hand.

"Good job."

At this time, Faye Lopez no longer had the vigor to win in the game, and the kindness and enthusiasm in his voice brought him closer invisibly.

After letting go of his embrace, Fei Lopez looked at Gao Wen and showed a smile again.

"In the future, if you encounter a situation like Tennessee's, just go to the stadium and have a good fight. Boxing has enough audiences all over the world, and we don't need to compete with them for the market."

There is a light ridicule in the words and deeds. Although he still has a Spanish accent, compared with Nadal, Fey Lopez's English is much clearer and more accurate, and he can even make jokes with ease.

Gawain reacted immediately.

It seems that Fey Lopez really saw the little conflict between him and Koginakis that day, but the brilliance of Fey Lopez lies in:

He didn't reprimand and guide Gao Wen or Koginakis condescendingly, but waited for the matter to settle down, and then raised some more points.

Moreover, Gawain is almost sure that the words, attitudes, and expressions of Fey Lopez when facing Koginakis and him should be different——

After all, young players are inevitably hot-blooded, impulsive and irritable. If you don’t pay attention, it may be thankless. You can see that McEnroe tried to help Kyrgios but was repeatedly stunned.

No wonder Fey Lopez, who has friends all over the world on tour, is indeed a character.

A smile appeared in Gao Wen's eyes, and he raised his fist.

"My fist is much harder than the racket. Don't worry, in order to avoid killing people, I will always give priority to the racket, otherwise something will happen."

A little smug, a little proud, and a little playful, Gawain's response made Faye Lopez laugh happily.

Words, just click to the end.

Faye Lopez didn't say anything more, wished Gao Wen good luck for the next round, then shook hands with the referee, turned and left.

For Gao Wen, the goal he set for himself is very simple:

It is enough to improve, recover, and get better every game, and develop in the right direction. As for the outcome, it will be decided on the spot.

After defeating Faye Lopez to advance to the next round, Gao Wen's goal has been achieved. At least the performance of Shanghai Magic City has been significantly improved compared with that of the emperor. But they are really slowly getting back on track now.

After passing three levels in a row, Gao Wen has successfully advanced to the top eight in the Shanghai Masters, and the third round has gradually returned to normal, with no upsets—

The only slightly unexpected match was that No. 4 seed Ferrer defeated No. 11 seed Murray in three sets, so "Djokovic VS Murray" missed the stage in Shanghai.

Murray, who has been recovering from injury this season, has had ups and downs. His performance in the Asian season has been high and low. The competitions should all be preparations for next year's rise.

In the quarter-finals, Gao Wen will face another DSLR champion, Youzhny.

Youzhny and Federer entered the professional tennis world at the same time. He also experienced the glorious era of stars such as Safin, Hewitt, Ferrero, Roddick, etc. He is also ranked in the top ten in the world for a long time Top players.

Because he served in the army for a long time, coupled with his tough playing style and violent personality, he won the title of "big soldier" among fans.

Youzhny has a moving picture that is very famous on the global social network. After he missed a shot, because he was very, very dissatisfied with himself, he hit his head with a racket hard, and the plasma burst and blood dripped. The violent and **** picture made everyone dumbfounded.

In fact, the same is true of his style of play, straightforward, straightforward, daring to fight, and a tough game style.

The peak period of Youzhny's career should have been from 2008 to 2013. During this period, all four Grand Slams have reached the top eight, and he has reached the top four at the US Open twice. Although he is a typical hard-court player, grass court He performed very well on clay and clay, and is recognized as one of the all-round players.

In addition, Youzhny also often participates in doubles competitions. The world's highest ranking in doubles has reached 38, and he has won nine doubles titles.

It is a pity that on the one hand, it is the impact of injuries, there are no major injuries, but minor injuries continue; on the other hand, it is due to personality reasons, with big ups and downs, and the ups and downs of the state, the overall performance has always lacked a little stability.

Last season, the 31-year-old Youzhny recovered strongly and ranked fifteenth in the world at the end of the year, creating the second best result in his career.

However, entering this season, the state has gradually declined. The first three Grand Slams all stopped in the second round, and Kyrgios was upset in the first round of the US Open.

Last year at the US Open, Youzhny broke into the quarter-finals; this year, he lost a huge amount of points after being eliminated in the first round, so the world ranking dropped rapidly, and now he has slipped to 48th.

This time in Shanghai, Youzhny signed a good fortune. He defeated the "injury-plagued" Gulbis in the first round, and then encountered unseeded players ranked outside the world's 80th in two consecutive rounds, and both rounds were decisive. After winning the set, they successfully reached the top eight, and they were about to face off against Gao Wen across the net.

Judging from Youzhny's recent performance, the soldier's state is indeed slowly declining, and the dual effects of age and injuries permeate all aspects.

This time in Shanghai, in the second and third rounds, Ivan-Dodig (Ivan-Dodig) and Juan-Monaco, who are not ranked high in the world, both reached the final set.

And ~lightnovelpub.net~ Judging from the historical trajectory that Gao Wen is familiar with, after 2014, Youzhny has never been able to regain the touch of his peak period.

The subsequent Grand Slam tournaments were basically eliminated in the first two rounds; his last appearance in a Grand Slam was the US Open in 2018. However, in this arena where he performed best, the first round was helpless due to cramps Retirement, bid farewell to the Grand Slam in such a embarrassing way.

In September of the same year, Youzhny announced his official retirement. Later, he learned that his latest news was that he served as the coach of Canadian rookie Denis-Shapovalov (Denis-Shapovalov) for a period of time in 2019.

Sight, back to the present moment.

Although Youzhny is indeed slowly declining, from another perspective, in his poor condition, Youzhny still did not give up fighting, and he gritted his teeth and continued to fight to the end, and finally won the game—

Strong psychological quality and excellent adjustment ability can be seen.

Gao Wen was also looking forward to this match.
