Match Point

Chapter 612: match point edge

The air is burning.

Qiao Wangsheng could clearly hear the sound of his heart beating, as if there were echoes reverberating above the eardrums, and subconsciously held his breath, but found that the reverberations became more violent and roaring, as if the whole world was shaking with the earthquake.

And it's not just Qiao Wangsheng alone?

At this moment, the entire Center Court couldn't help but hold its breath—

The Shanghai Masters has entered the penultimate match day, and the semifinals have all been decided. The first half is the much-anticipated "Federer VS Djokovic", and it is also the last match on the center court today. The start; the second half is the unexpected match of "Simon VS Gao Wen", which is currently in progress.

Gilles Simon, born in 1984, is currently ranked 19th in the world. This time he failed to rank among the seeds in the Shanghai Masters.

Before the start of the competition, no one could have predicted that the semi-final match in the lower half would be between Simon and Gao Wen.

It is precisely because of this that all the local media are boiling, and the dream of "Gao Wen making history and reaching the finals of the Shanghai Masters" has been laid out impatiently. The upsets in the half area exploded one after another, and finally ushered in an unexpected showdown.

Qiao Wangsheng is no exception.

When he learned that Gao Wen was about to return to his hometown to compete, Qiao Wangsheng had been looking forward to this day.

Last week, Gao Wen competed in the imperial capital. Qiao Wangsheng looked at the photos Jiang Yanqing sent back from the scene, and heard the story of their close contact with Gao Wen. He couldn't help but feel excited together. Even if they are thousands of miles away, they are happy together. Excited together, as if returning to the college days——

At that time, they were still young, still had endless energy and magnificent dreams. They would curse because their favorite team lost, and they would be excited because their favorite singer came to hold a concert. Will stay up all night because of the World Cup.

However, slowly, as they grow up, the pressure of life increases, and their liking becomes more restrained. They still pay attention to their favorite competitive sports, but they no longer have the motivation to go to the scene to cheer, nor In addition to the physical strength of staying up late to watch the game, everything became Buddhist.

But a little less passion.

Until now, Qiao Wangsheng has regained the enthusiasm of his youth.

Day after day, Qiao Wangsheng was looking forward to Gao Wen's coming to the Shanghai Masters, and he was finally able to go to the scene to watch Gao Wen's game with his own eyes—

It was not because Gao Wen was able to win, nor was it because Gao Wen became the US Open champion, but because Gao Wen proved the possibility of dreams with practical actions.

Qiao Wangsheng thought, life, perhaps can have more.

In the Imperial Capital Open, Gao Wen was not in good condition. These senior fans were extremely anxious, but they didn't dare to put more pressure on Gao Wen. They kept telling the new fans on Post Bar and social networks:

Don't worry, it's normal for the state to fluctuate, so give Gao Wen some time.

Qiao Wangsheng was worried that those expectations and hot discussions from the outside world might become a burden that Gao Wen couldn't shake off, binding his ankles. After all, Gao Wen was not yet nineteen years old.

After Gao Wen arrived in Shanghai, he canceled the public training several times in a row, calmed down and devoted himself to systematic training. Although Qiao Wangsheng couldn't watch Gao Wen's training at close range, he settled down instead, because he knew that Sampras must have realized it. Problem, they are already making adjustments.

really!

Gao Wen regained his concentration. Although his condition was still not at his best, he still withstood the pressure at the critical moment. His overall performance was significantly improved compared to the emperor. With a little bit of luck, Gao Wen had successfully killed After entering the semi-finals, following the Grand Slam, he proved himself in the Masters.

For Qiao Wangsheng, being able to watch Gao Wen's game up close was a kind of happiness. Now he finally understood the happiness of Gu Xiao and Jiang Yanqing.

Moreover, now Qiao Wangsheng has become the envy of Gu Xiao and Jiang Yanqing, because he saw Gao Wen's partner Tim play doubles in Shanghai, which was the first time ever; Lively and brisk, but also a different look.

Hearing the envious words of other golfers in the group every day, Qiao Wangsheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Watching Gao Wen's game at close range reawakened Qiao Wangsheng's enthusiasm, not only the love for tennis, but also the expectation of dreams and life,

Qiao Wangsheng has been suppressing his excitement and excitement, because there are already too many expectations falling on Gao Wen's shoulders, but he can't help but start fantasizing:

Perhaps, this is Gao Wen's opportunity to create history.

After the Grand Slam, Gao Wen once again wrote history, becoming the first Chinese male player to reach the semi-finals on the stage of the Masters, and proved with practical actions that his performance in the US Open is definitely not a flash Meteor, even compared to the Chinese female generals, is not inferior.

So, facing Simon, can Gawain go one step further?

Reach the finals?

At that time, Gao Wen may face Federer or Djokovic, challenging the Big Four for the third time in just one month?

Just thinking about it in my mind can't help but get excited.

Qiao Wangsheng kept telling himself not to be greedy or extravagant, and not to put his urgency and desire on the shoulders of that 18-year-old boy. The superstars destroyed because of the "God-making Movement" have been destroyed more than once or twice in the long history. He sincerely hoped that Gao Wen could create an era—

But Qiao Wangsheng couldn't help it.

In fact, Qiao Wangsheng knew that Simon was a difficult opponent. Even Djokovic and Nadal once said that dealing with Simon was very, very difficult.

Perhaps, Simon has never been able to prove himself on a higher stage, but this player of the same generation as the Big Four also had his own glorious moments. For Gao Wen, this is definitely a severe test, not to mention that Gao Wen is still Not adjusted to your best condition.

The reality also confirmed Qiao Wangsheng's conjecture:

Simon ~lightnovelpub.net~ is far more difficult than imagined.

"6:2", "6:6".

Currently, Simon is in the lead.

After Simon won the first set with a big score advantage, the second set fell into a stalemate.

Simon broke serve first and ushered in his own serve to win the game; but Gao Wen successfully broke serve and equalized the score, and the two sides came to a "5:5" draw.

Afterwards, Simon broke serve again, ushered in his second serve to win the game, and got a match point, but Gawain unbelievably succeeded in breaking serve again, standing on the edge of the cliff to continue the game, and the score came to "6:6 ", the two sides entered the tie-break.

Simon remained stable and didn't seem to be affected too much. In the tie-break, he played steadily and broke Gao Wen's two serving points in a row, bringing the small points to a "5:3" lead. It's Simon's serve points, as long as they keep all of them, they can win the game.

Match point edge.
