Text 672 Unfinished business

"Game, Murray, '6:3', '6:3'..."

Above the central court, the voice of the referee broadcasting the score echoed, marking an end to the game.

The roaring applause drifted away from his ears, and Tobias froze slightly, his breath stuck in his chest, his lowered eyelids concealing his emotional turmoil.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he could notice that the figures on both sides stood up and applauded. Tobias also took a deep breath, regained his composure, stood up, clapped his hands, and tried his best for the court. Applause for both sides.

Turning his head slightly, Tobias could see Gawain's profile at a glance. There was a faint smile on that young face:

There is no disappointment, no regret, and no embarrassment. The bright eyes are full of affirmation, even more determined than usual, and they are watching Dimitrov on the court intently. Cheer up.

After completing all the procedures after the game, Gao Wen did not return to the hotel directly, but came to the center court to watch the game between Dimitrov and Murray, and cheered for his friends on the spot.

pity.

In this game, Dimitrov obviously failed to perform at his normal level. There are many reasons for this, but the most important thing is his expectations:

At Wimbledon, Dimitrov played the role of the shocker challenger. Facing Murray, he had no burden and was able to give it a go. In the matchup again in Paris, Dimitrov knew he could beat Murray. Ray, he expects himself to perform even better and more excitingly—

Just like Federer when he was younger.

Tennis not only wants to win, but also wants to win beautifully and smartly, but the problem is that "beautiful tennis" needs to be completely relaxed and ensure one's best condition, otherwise one will always pursue blind shots and blindly pursue winning points. Hitting the ball often ends in mistakes.

In fact, according to the development of the previous life, this has always been Dimitrov's "problem", because he knows that he can play tennis smoothly and freely, so he always pursues perfection, refuses to change and refuses to give in. If the state fluctuates, the game will be lost quickly.

In addition, the pressure of competing for a seat in the year-end finals pushed Dimitrov to use a wonderful victory to prove that he is worthy of this honor.

But the reality is cruel, often the more this is the case, the easier it is to restrain one's hands and feet, and it is difficult to perform one's normal level.

Today, that's it.

Dimitrov's offense is difficult to tear through Murray's defense. The quality of the entire offense cannot be improved, and there are too many mistakes; A lot of rounds of the "Today's Five Best Balls" level.

In the whole game, Dimitrov didn't even get a break point, and he lost three serve games—

To make matters worse, Dimitrov saved only one break point, so what does that mean?

In two of the serve games, they were broken immediately after a break point; in the other serve game, they only recovered a break point and then were broken.

The key points, can't bite.

In the face of the top 50 players in the world, such a performance is very difficult to win.

The result is not surprising.

The last point was still Dimitrov's mistake. In the continuous confrontation with Murray with one-handed backhand, he failed to find the right point of hitting the ball, which led to offhand.

One mistake, handed over the victory of the whole game, and at the same time officially ruined his hope of the year-end finals, even the qualification to fight for the substitute seat.

it's all over.

So far, all the events on the third match day have all come to an end, and the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters are all released:

In the first half, Djokovic vs. Murray; Kei Nishikori vs. Ferrer.

In the second half, Federer vs. Raonic; Gawain vs. Anderson.

Among them, Raonic, Kei Nishikori, and Ferrer all successfully defeated their opponents to advance, and they still seized their opportunities in the year-end finals.

The biggest upset came from Gawain's small division. South African player Kevin Anderson upset Wawrinka and became Gawain's opponent in the next round.

Originally, after the draw came out, everyone was looking forward to the replay of "Gauvin vs Wawrinka", but it is very, very regrettable that in the second half of the season, Wawrinka's energy seems to have been burned out, especially after the Australian Open. Being a moving target makes the game more difficult.

In the match between Wawrinka and Anderson, they played three sets, and the score of each set was "seven". It was a very close and fierce duel. In the end, Anderson had the last laugh.

As a result, the pattern of the year-end finals has become completely clear:

Murray has successfully won the qualifications, and it is officially a certainty.

Berdych has also basically landed, the only exception may be Raonic wins the championship, then he needs to see whether Ferrer or Kei Nishikori can enter the final; even if Raonic wins the championship, but Ferrer and Nishikori The winner of the game in Guyana is also unable to enter the final, so he can also secure a seat.

On the whole, it should be Ferrer, Kei Nishikori, and Raonic who compete for the final seventh and eighth positions.

For Raonic, if he wins, he will be shortlisted, if he loses, he will be out, and standing in front of him is Federer.

For Nishikori and Ferrer, the winner goes and the loser goes.

Everything~lightnovelpub.net~ became clear, but it had nothing to do with Gao Wen and Dimitrov.

After going around in a big circle, the curtain came to an end in such a nihilistic way. I watched helplessly as the tickets for the year-end finals were close at hand, but I missed them just like that.

Especially for Tobias, all kinds of feelings surged in his chest—

There is no doubt that this has been a season of ups and downs and great joys and sorrows.

In May, Dimitrov reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career.

In August, Gao Wen jumped out from a crack in the rock to realize his dream of the US Open.

In October, both Dimitrov and Gao Wen are still on the list for the year-end finals. Although the situation is difficult, the draw for the Paris Masters is good and it is worth looking forward to.

However, in just one day, it was all over, and just like that... it ended unexpectedly, and the two players missed London one after the other.

Even someone as experienced as Tobias would have difficulty digesting such a huge amount of information and emotions for a while.

"Death before leaving the teacher will make the hero burst into tears."

Perhaps this description is not accurate, but at this moment Tobias does have the urge to cry, which is more of an emptiness than disappointment, sadness, anger and dullness—

The emptiness of nothing.

The kind of emptiness of "floating in mid-air, unable to grab anything no matter how much you thump and struggle, and then watching yourself being pulled down by gravity"....

Then, Tobias saw the firmness on Gawain's face, and the turbulent mood seemed to regain focus.

"John, if I lose, I want you to tell me that I'm still lacking, but I'm doing well, let's keep fighting."

"I needed someone to tell me about it, so now Gregor needs us to tell him the same."
