Chapter 775 Golden Partner

A little cold knowledge, among the Big Four, Nadal has the best doubles performance.

Nadal has represented the national team many times, not only in the singles arena, but also in the doubles arena.

In Nadal's doubles career, in addition to the doubles gold medal in the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, he also won nine doubles championships including three Masters.

Among them, it is basically common practice for Doha to participate in doubles matches at the beginning of the year to warm up. In 2005, 2009, and 2011, they won the championship three times.

This year, Nadal once again chose to participate in the doubles match in Doha, continuing the tradition and kicking off the season in such a way, but this time his partner was a little bit unexpected. Nadal did not choose his compatriot partner to play, but played with Djokovic Like Kovic, choose young players to partner with.

It seems that this year's Doha race is indeed worth looking forward to.

At this time, the two players standing on the other side of the training ground were also familiar faces, both from Spain.

One is Verdasco, whose highest singles ranking in his career came to seventh place in 2009. This is also a famous Spanish player, but compared to his performance on the court, the off-court tidbits of this handsome guy are always more attractive eyeball.

He once dated Ana Ivanovic, and it was after Ivanovic won the French Open in 2008 that sparked a heated discussion, but they broke up after just five months.

Later, he dated several other beauties successively, including tennis players, fashion models, and film actors. Unfortunately, each relationship did not last long, so that the media paid attention to his relationships every now and then, which was comparable to the treatment of the top entertainment industry , The title of "Playboy" spread like wildfire.

This also took away Verdasco's excellent performance on the field. Many fans insisted that he was a "vase", and even some players thought so.

Kyrgios once criticized Verdasco without shame, "He thought he was talented, but his backhand was too mediocre."

In fact, Verdasco has reached the fourth round in all four Grand Slams, and defeated Tsonga and Murray in a row at the Australian Open in 2009 to reach the semi-finals. The performance on the field is also not to be underestimated.

The other is Marrero. Compared with his other compatriots, his reputation is not obvious, because he specializes in doubles and has almost no record in singles. His career-high doubles ranking once came to fifth in the world in 2013.

Although Marrero is less well-known among the fans, he has always been very popular in the Spanish team. He has partnered with many Spanish players in doubles, and his partner with Verdasco was the most successful. The 2013 ATP Year-End Finals Doubles Championship is undoubtedly a feat and a testament to their strength.

This year in Doha, Marrero and Verdasco continue to partner in the doubles arena, and they are all looking forward to achieving good results.

At this time, watching the combination of Gao Wen and Nadal still look easy and confident when facing strong opponents, the relaxed attitude made the fans on the sidelines of the training ground relax. Expectations also start to rise—

It's not about the results, it's about the competition itself.

Entertainment should be good.

Just like the last time in the Imperial Capital, Gao Wen and Tim played doubles. Those two matches were very interesting and left a deep impression on the audience.

What's more, this time I'm still partnering with Nadal!

Yujia had thought before that maybe Gao Wen should participate in some doubles competitions to practice his hands, and sure enough, Doha came.

The facts also proved Yujia's conjecture:

The game is really fun.

"4:4", "15:40".

On the first day of the Doha Tennis Open, the doubles competition took the lead.

The combination of Nadal and Gawain, against two old acquaintances in the first round, Simone Burelli and L-Mayer's partner, all four players are the main singles players, and all of them have played against each other before. Very, very familiar; the doubles partner in Doha this time is mainly to warm up for the Australian Open.

In comparison, Burley and Mayer participated in more doubles matches and cooperated more tacitly, which also made the game more anxious.

In the first set, it was very close and the points were even, but now it was Gao Wen's serve, falling behind by a small point and facing the test of two break points.

In Doha, the sun is still shining brightly and the sun is high in the sky. Just standing outdoors feels like the fine hairs on the surface of the skin will be burnt, not to mention standing on the field to fight, the hot sweat is pouring out continuously, almost It's about to boil.

However, it was in such a hot weather that the stadium occupancy rate reached an incredible 80%. The seats within the field of view were basically full, and the bustling figures seemed to be crowding the entire stadium—

Obviously, Doha fans came here for Nadal and Gawain,

One is a top giant; the other is a shining star.

Both are topical figures. If it weren't for the special situation of the Australian season, how could they have seen these two players play doubles together?

It is true that the combination of Djokovic and Krajinovic is also worthy of attention. After all, Djokovic’s doubles match is indeed rare, but the combination in front of us has a lot of topics from topicality to popularity to freshness and so on. All aspects are fully exploded, and will undoubtedly become the biggest focus of the opening of the new season.

The homepage of the ATP official website directly gives a grand introduction to a central page—

"Nadal X Gao Wen, the best file in the new year."

I am afraid that apart from the two-two pairing of the Big Four, there will never be such a frenzy in the tour.

The attendance rate also gives feedback, and maybe even the quarter-finals of singles may not be able to have such a box office.

The sun was scorching hot, and the air was filled with a scorching smell, but the audience was still full of energy, applause and cheers filled the audience between points and points.

No one wants to miss such a golden partner.

Nadal and Gao Wen are discussing the serving strategy~lightnovelpub.net~Doubles matches need to pay attention to strategy, it is not whoever is better will be in charge of arranging tactics, but there is attention to detail.

If it is serving, then the non-serving side will arrange tactics, because this player often needs to apply tactical pressure in the first half.

If it is a receiving game, then the receiving party will arrange the tactics, because the player's return line often determines the subsequent offensive connection.

Moreover, whether it is serving or receiving, the tactics of the first serve and the second serve need to be adjusted. As partners, the two players always need to communicate.

At this moment, when Gao Wen served, it was naturally Nadal's tactics.

Yujia stared curiously at Nadal and Gao Wen who were discussing tactics. He was also very curious about how they would respond to the break point.

In the first eight rounds of today's game, neither side has ever sent a break point. It can be seen that the first game back in the new season still needs to be adjusted. The batting feel and competitive state are far from the best. Fumble, so the service process is relatively fast.

This game is the first time to break the balance.
