Match Point

Chapter 688: walk side by side

"Match Point(

trembling.

Raonic could feel the protest from his calves, and his knees felt weak again. After two consecutive high-intensity and high-quality duels, coupled with the suspicion of injury in the Shanghai Masters, he stopped training for a few days. Physical fitness is indeed a bit behind, and it is fully exposed at this time.

Raonic was slightly embarrassed, but this is always the case with teenagers. He refused to bow his head and admit defeat in front of his friends, gritted his teeth, and raised his jaw proudly.

Just like Raonic's hairstyle that took half a bottle of pomade and styling water to complete, he can remain motionless even in a tornado.

Straightening his spine and opening his chest, Raonic raised his head and looked at Gawain.

Gawain didn't seem to notice Raonic's bravado, and just watched him with a smile on his face.

Raonic always felt that Gao Wen's eyes seemed to be able to see through his "external strength but middle performance", so he took a pre-emptive step forward, gave Gao Wen a hug, patted his friend's back hard, and in order to prove that his physical fitness was not enough. The problem, that force is like a heavy hammer.

Bang bang.

"Milos, I know you want to strangle me right now, but this is not a boxing ring, calm down, calm down!"

Gawain's joking voice rang in Raonic's ears, which made Raonic's movements stiffen. The Canadian's politeness broke out again, and he didn't dare to joke with Gawain, so his hands were frozen in the air. What to do, in the end, I can only change the topic to cover up the embarrassment.

"The one who plays better wins."

"Obviously, you didn't reach 100% today, come back next time?"

Gao Wen was not humble, nor did he expose Raonic's trick of changing the subject, he accepted the congratulations frankly, and once again challenged him openly.

Raonic let go of his arms, showing a shy smile, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone, and he regained his reason.

"No problem, let's have a good fight next time."

Then, the two walked side by side towards the referee.

Raonic felt something strange about his body.

On the one hand, the feet seem to weigh a thousand catties, as if being filled with lead; on the other hand, the feet seem to be stepping on cotton, and the calves are simply noodles.

So, is it heavy or light?

Stepping forward, one deep and one shallow, staggering like a penguin, Raonic also realized that he could no longer hide it, and his performance had already exposed a little.

The honest man became more and more shy, scratched his head, and defended with some embarrassment.

"I think, this offseason should be a good exercise."

"God, in the second set, I couldn't breathe, I didn't know what I was doing, it was like a puppet playing ball."

Gao Wen had already noticed it.

He was like this in the game against Simon in Shanghai. He felt like his soul was out of his body every minute. Only one body was still running with inertia, but his calves couldn't kick at all, and there was no acceleration. In the end, his body was not his own at all. The sour taste is definitely fresh in my memory.

But Raonic didn't want to show weakness, so Gao Wen didn't say much, and just joked back along with Raonic's words.

"Don't worry, I will be merciful the next time we face each other."

"Thank you. If that's the case, I'll accept Victory unceremoniously. I don't mind. You are willing to hand over Victory. Don't worry, I won't feel humiliated."

"Haha, if you want to win, you still need to do your best to fight for it."

"Okay, but I still believe that I can win, just like today, if it's three out of five sets, and the third set is exhausted, I will start to fight back."

"So you're implying our Grand Slam clash?"

"Wow, that's all right? You're the best!"

Failure, at any time and under any circumstances, is not an easy task.

At this time Raonic is no exception, he doesn't like this ending; but compared to frustration and disappointment, seeing Gao Wen who is doing his best and has no regrets, he also feels the heartiness of fighting to the end without reservation dripping—

He can confidently say that in this game, he has displayed 100% of his strength at this stage. Although his physical condition and mental state are indeed not at their best, he has also played to the extreme, so he should not be depressed or disappointed .

In fact, Raonic is usually introverted and shy. He seldom expresses his feelings and is not good at expressing. Every time he faces the media, he seems a little clumsy. It seems a little stiff; but competing with friends is still different after all.

Stepping to the side of the referee, Raonic bumped into Gawain's shoulder, "Next game, come on, I'm optimistic about you."

After finishing speaking, Raonic took the lead in shaking hands with the referee, and then walked towards the players' rest area, leaving the court to the winner of the game to celebrate with the audience.

Oh oh oh!

Ahhh!

On the court, the cheers and applause surged up, not bursting out of energy all at once, but climbing up bit by bit, and finally releasing all the power, forming a billowing air wave.

Raonic was packing his equipment, but he couldn't hold back after all. He turned his head and looked towards the court, and then he could see Gawain hammering his chest heavily with his right fist, roaring passionately, as if erupting with vitality Like an active volcano, it ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

Publicity~lightnovelpub.net~ Wanton, gorgeous, bright!

In an instant, it seemed that the whole world brightened up.

Paris, after all, is different. It is different from Valencia. Here is the Masters, second only to the Grand Slam stage. After the US Open, after a lapse of two full months, Gao Wen once again reached the highest level of ATP events In the finals, he proved himself with his actual performance, and he is definitely not just a dark horse.

Moreover, all kinds of pressures related to the year-end finals competition in the recent period are ubiquitous and overwhelming. Every game may affect the changes in the pattern. Those discussions, those concerned about those expectations, come from all directions, which is enough to suffocate. Gao Wen is no exception.

All in all, let this victory have a different meaning.

Gao Wen needs such a moment to vent himself.

Even so, Gao Wen's celebration didn't last long. He turned 360 degrees to thank the audience, and after two turns, it was over.

Apparently, Gao Wen took Raonic's emotions into consideration. When the celebration ended, he turned around and saw that Raonic had packed up and was about to leave.

The eyes of the two people collided in the air, and Raonic could feel his high-spirited fighting spirit boiling in his blood, not only because of the defeat, but also because of Gawain's passion and blood, or because of Gawain's hard work And tenacity, which also awakened the excitement deep in his soul.

Raonic thought of what he looked like when he first entered the professional tennis world. Tennis and fighting were a dream.

He was already looking forward to their next match.

Raonic gave Gawain a thumbs up, didn't say anything more, then turned and left; but out of the corner of his eye, he still saw Gawain's hands raised above his head to applaud him.

The audience applauded thunderously.
