Chapter 799

Dustin Brown is, without an exaggeration, the weirdest player in men's professional tennis, almost alien.

In Brown's career, the best performance is the grass, because his serve and forehand can be called heavy weapons, extremely lethal, and he has advanced to the third round at Wimbledon twice in his career.

In addition, in Harley in 2014 and Wimbledon in 2015, Brown beat Nadal twice on the grass, which became the highlight of his entire career; at the same time, in Houston in 2014, Brown beat Isner , is also a shocking upset.

Nadal is a well-behaved player. It can be seen from his numerous obsessive-compulsive disorder that he is not a player who is good at facing drastic changes.

In 2009, Nadal’s parents divorced, and his life suffered drastic changes. For ordinary people, this may be nothing, but it was a heavy blow to Nadal. For a long time, Nadal’s state fell into a trough of struggle. Because he doesn't like such unexpected changes.

Of course, this is not to say that Nadal is not good at responding to changes in the court. In fact, he and Federer are the two top players who are the most calm and outstanding in handling emergencies in professional tennis. This talent is still in Djokovic. And above Murray.

Rather, Nadal is not good at facing... "imagination".

Brown is just such a player with a different world imagination; moreover, by chance, the two encounters between Brown and Nadal took place on the grass, and it was also the period when Brown was in his best form.

As a result, Brown also has an incredible career record:

He is the only player with a perfect record against Nadal.

This time, in Doha, Brown's nerve knife broke out again, won two games in a row, advanced to the quarterfinals, and will soon face Gao Wen.

Is this an accidental fate?

Clearly, Nadal didn't like Brown's hitting style.

Because Nadal can't predict Brown's next move at all, it doesn't conform to the rules of tennis, it doesn't conform to the rules of hitting, and there is not even a tactic or a routine to speak of. Everything is unpredictable, which also makes the game always in a chaotic state.

Although the shots of Kyrgios, Monfils, and Dolpogolov also break the frame, at least they still have a context, but Brown has none, nothing, and some shots even It's inexplicable, even tennis beginners can't hit the ball like this.

If it is a grass or a fast hard court, the rhythm of the entire game will be further improved, and the player's thinking time will be compressed, so Brown's advantage will be further magnified.

After the press conference, Gao Wen took the initiative to ask Nadal, because Brown was mainly in the Challenger League, it was difficult to collect more game information, and Sampras could not formulate a clear game plan, if Nadal could provide some information , that would be great.

However, after hearing Gao Wen's question, Nadal did not answer immediately, not because he didn't want to answer, but because he didn't know how to answer.

Some embarrassment.

"...don't try to figure out how he's going to hit the ball. Once you start thinking about it, the rhythm can be dragged by him."

After thinking for a long time, Nadal finally spoke. Just after finishing speaking, he couldn't help showing a wry smile, and then he patted Gao Wen on the shoulder.

"I have been trying to understand his shot selection and tactical routines, but so far there is no answer. It seems that in tennis, I still have a lot to learn."

"Sorry, I can't help you."

"Insist on yourself, start the game according to your own rhythm, don't be too paranoid, change needs to go ahead of him, maybe you can open up the situation."

In fact, so far, Nadal has only confronted Brown once, and he lost the game. The information he can provide is indeed limited; otherwise, according to the historical trajectory, Nadal will not explode at Wimbledon in July this year. Leng lost to Brown again.

But Gao Wen knew that what Nadal said was the truth, limited but sincere, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You mean, think like an alien?"

Nadal was slightly taken aback, then laughed dumbly, then nodded slightly to express his affirmation, "Yes, it's like an alien."

Gawain's eyes lit up, he made a gesture of rubbing his hands like a fly, and said cheerfully, "Great, I finally met another alien visiting the earth, I always thought I was alone, I must Ask him if he is from my home planet."

One second, two seconds.

"Ha ha."

Nadal reacted for a few seconds before he understood Gao Wen's joke and laughed happily.

One after the other, the two doubles partners headed in different directions. Nadal went to the practice field for additional training. At the beginning of the season, he still needed to stay on the court as much as possible to find his condition; while Gao Wen went to the gym to ride a bicycle. Relieve muscle pain and prepare for the next game.

After the semi-finals of the doubles match, the quarter-finals of the singles competition officially kicked off, and the two duels in the second half took the lead.

In the first game, the two veterans faced off. Italy's Andres Seppi played against Croatia's Ivan Dodig. In the end, Seppi won both sets with a break advantage, winning in straight sets and taking the lead. Advance to the semi-finals.

In the second game, two "green leaf" players of the same era as the Big Four faced each other. Czech Thomas Berdych played against France's Richard Gasquet. Up and down, they meet again in the new season, and the gap is quite obvious.

"6:2" and "6:1", Berdych lost only three rounds in the whole game, easily defeated Gasquet, and rewritten the record of the two sides to five wins and six losses.

As a result, the semi-finals in the second half of the Doha Tennis Open will be the first to be played, "Berdych VS Seppi", which is a little surprising.

However, as the No. 3 seed, Berdych has continued his excellent competitive state. It can be said that he is expected to advance to the semi-finals, let alone the upper half?

Then, in the midst of eager anticipation ~lightnovelpub.net~ Gao Wen appeared on the stage.

Facing Brown, Gawain was fully prepared.

Indeed, Brown's shots are often unexpected, and his unrestrained imagination has no way of judging, and he often makes hitting choices that break the rules.

But Brown is facing Gao Wen, who is good at "using change to control change". Not only can he gain an advantage for himself through tactical layout, but he is also one step ahead of change.

Rhythm change, combination of length and length, depth adjustment, fast and slow, uneven weight...

In terms of changes, maybe Gao Wen's imagination is not an alien, but his layout ability is far stronger than his opponents, not to mention his solid and excellent batting ability.

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

Without bloodshed, Gao Wen easily defeated Brown and advanced to the semi-finals first. In an instant, he could feel the whole stadium bubbling up. The excitement and excitement couldn't be suppressed—

"Gowin VS Djokovic 4.0", coming soon?

However, the ideal is full, but the reality is skinny, because Djokovic had a shocking upset and lost to Karlovic in three hard games to stop in the quarterfinals.
