This time in Doha, Gao Wen played as a high-ranking seed for the first time in his career, and the whole attention showed a completely different enthusiasm.

The top three seeds are Djokovic, Nadal and Berdych, while Gawain is the fourth seed.

The downside is that it's in the spotlight.

All participating players are all focused on the top four seeds, paying attention to the division they may enter and the biggest seed guarding the division.

There is no doubt that no one wants to enter the division of Djokovic or Nadal, Berdych is not so strong but still strong; it is obvious that Gawain is a soft persimmon, people want to squeeze it, Looking forward to an upset win and a chance to become famous overnight.

The target on Gao Wen's back became more and more conspicuous.

The advantage is that you can see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance.

Being a high-ranking seed means that Gao Wen doesn't need to go through the nightmare difficulty of the US Open again, facing high-ranking players all the way; now, Gao Wen can avoid encountering the top ten players in the world in the first two rounds , have more time to adjust slowly.

From the perspective of the entire competition, Gao Wen can improve his state little by little, showing a step-by-step rise, and then prepare for the fierce competition that follows. This is also the accumulated experience of top players. Gao Wen is now Learn from scratch.

Especially the adjustment and training during this year's offseason, for Gao Wen, it is still a painful period—

From the previous life to this life, Gao Wen has never adjusted his technical movements and tactical layout.

Because you can't see it, and because you don't need it.

In the past, he was always active in the NCAA, and he had no chance to see the outside world, no chance to meet top professional players, and naturally he had no way of knowing his own shortcomings.

But now, after playing against the top ten players in the world, Gao Wen knew that he still had room for improvement, and the game also had room for improvement.

Some adjustments, while painful, are absolutely necessary.

Ending the offseason and returning to the game, this also means a new beginning—

Literally.

Then, the significance of the lottery is highlighted. The ability to avoid high-ranking seed players in the first two rounds undoubtedly gave Gao Wen a breathing room.

In the singles match in Doha, Gawain played against Djokovic and entered the upper half; Berdych and Nadal entered the lower half. If they all advance smoothly, they will face each other in the semi-finals.

After the draw came out, the media and fans were excited—

Because Gawain and Djokovic are in the same half, does this mean that "Gaowen VS Djokovic 4.0" may be staged in the Doha semi-finals?

Imagine, the semi-finals, "Gauvin VS Djokovic"; the final, "Djokovic VS Nadal" or "Gauvin VS Nadal", this scene should be very beautiful.

However, if Gawain wants to win the chance to fight Djokovic, he needs to win three games first.

In the first round, Gao Wen faced a qualifying player, Thiemo-de-Bakker from the Netherlands.

The 141st player in the world is 27 years old this year, and his world ranking reached the highest 40 in July 2010, which also proves that he has the impact of the world's top 100. It is a pity that the ranking has slipped due to injuries, but it is still not to be underestimated.

It can be seen from the actual progress of this game that Gao Wen really needs more training and polishing in the game—

Especially the serving part.

Obviously, because of the change in the serving action, the entire hitting point is still a little unstable, and the continuity of the force action is also problematic.

Moreover, compared to doubles matches, singles matches have higher requirements for the power of the serve, which also brings more challenges to Gao Wen.

Therefore, double faults have become an important role that cannot be ignored in the game.

Originally, Gao Wen didn't rely very much on first-serve players, and the second-serve insurance factor was relatively higher, so the double-fault control has always been relatively good.

But today, in the first set alone, Gao Wen made six double faults, tying the highest number of double faults in a game in his career.

Everyone in the audience could clearly feel Gao Wen's struggle.

Moreover, because of the stumbling in the serving link, it directly led to the dilemma of the entire tactical layout. The offensive connection was obviously loose, and the game became more anxious and more intense.

However, Gao Wen never gave up, and continued to execute tactics unswervingly, and became more devoted and focused—

First of all, the skills and tactics have been carefully polished throughout the offseason. The training performance has been very good, and the game just needs a little time to adapt.

Clearly, giving up is not an option, or their entire offseason work would be for nothing, which would be foolish.

Secondly, since we are not prepared to give up, and we should not go back to the old road, honing skills and adapting to the game should become the top priority compared to winning.

If you have to lose, then losing now is better than losing later, because losing now, there will be a doubles match and a week of training time in Melbourne will be slowly adjusted; so, regardless of the outcome, there is still a match There are many tasks to be completed, and we still cannot relax our vigilance.

In this regard, Gao Wen has always maintained a clear mind. Since the NCAA period, this has been his strength and part of his game temperament.

In fact, after entering the second set, Gao Wen's performance became a little bit more stable, and he made some progress. One thing is his excellent performance, and another is that he is more familiar with his opponent, so the game gradually returned. Some.

finally-

"6:7(4, "6:3", "6:2".

In the three-set match, Gao Wen won. From doubles to singles, he kicked off the 2015 season with two victories, a good start!

After losing the first set with a tie-break, Gao Wen's familiar rhythm was recovered in the next two sets.

However, the number of double faults remained high. After sending out five double faults again, this also made the cumulative double faults of the whole game successfully in double figures.

This is also the first time in Gao Wen's career, but obviously, this is not a record worth showing off.

The entire match took two hours and three minutes, but after the match, Gao Wen obediently went to the training ground to practice serving.

Fortunately, there are also doubles matches to continue practicing.

Originally, according to the drawing table, the combination of Gao Wen and Nadal will face the top seed of this tournament in the second round, the combination of Alexander-Peya and Bruno-Soares~lightnovelpub.net ~However, it is very regrettable that the combination of Peia and Suarez was accidentally injured when serving to win the first set of the first round of the game, and unfortunately chose to retire.

For Gao Wen, it is indeed a pity. It is interesting to be able to challenge the top players in any match at any time. He also thought that last time he challenged the Bryan Brothers in doubles, and this time he can challenge the current doubles player ranked tenth in the world.

Pity.

But Gao Wen fully understands, after all, the Australian Open is only less than two weeks away, all players need to be careful, no one wants to miss the first Grand Slam of the year.

What's more, the opponent in the second round may not be a soft persimmon.
