"Novak, people have been expecting you to play against Gao Wen again, but now, it is a pity that you have stopped in the quarterfinals. How do you feel about this?"

"There will be a period later, let us continue to look forward to it."

"Gao Wen, countless fans are looking forward to you being able to challenge Djokovic again, but it's a pity that you can't make it this time. How do you feel about this?"

"Every game, I will go all out to fight for a chance to face Novak across the net."

Same question, completely different answers.

What Djokovic showed is self-confidence, the calmness and calmness of standing on the top of the world and looking at the mountains and small mountains, or the calmness and pride of the world's number one facing challengers.

What Gao Wen displayed was vigor, down-to-earth humility, the fighting spirit of a newborn calf, and the bravery and vigor of daring to meet all challenges with high heads.

Come and go.

Although Gao Wen and Djokovic failed to meet in the semi-finals, the smoke floating in the air spread silently.

For Doha fans, this is undoubtedly an embarrassing situation.

"Djokovic vs Nadal", not able to stage.

"Djokovic vs Gawain" also failed to be staged.

Going around, unexpectedly, in the doubles field, "Nadal/Gowan vs Djokovic/Krajinovic" has become the most topical and most entertaining match in Doha this year.

At that time, it was hard to get a ticket for this game; now, this game is even more talked about, and the audience who can watch this doubles match on the spot becomes the envy of everyone in an instant—

It lies in the excitement of the game, the intensity of the game, and the meaning of the game.

The outcome of the doubles match will not affect the performance of the singles players, but it is undeniable that the topic of the "Gauvin vs. Djokovic" duel is rising steadily; Doha joined the semi-finals, but the smell of gunpowder became more intense.

After all, Gawain won and Djokovic lost.

If -- just hypothetically, if Gowan and Djokovic meet again at the Australian Open in a week and a half, it will be a very exciting matchup.

In fact, what people don't know is that Djokovic's upset loss to Karlovic was the most regrettable and disappointing for Gao Wen.

Gao Wen has been eagerly looking forward to playing against the giants again, because he hopes to test his training results during the offseason, and because every opportunity to challenge the Big Four is extremely rare, and any opportunity to play against top players is extremely rare. Can make people's blood boil.

However…

Pity.

That's why Gao Wen said that when facing a reporter's question. He knew that he was a challenger, and he needed to do his best in every competition to win a chance to challenge the Big Four again, and then do his best , Try again to beat the Big Four.

Unfortunately, it was very short. Gao Wen quickly withdrew his attention, regained his strength, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the next game:

If he wants to strive for better performances in Melbourne, then he must firmly seize the opportunity in Doha and enjoy every minute of standing on the court.

On Saturday, the first doubles final was held. This was also the first time in Gao Wen's career that he entered the doubles final. It felt a little different.

In the finals, the audience was full again, and once again witnessed the strong box office appeal. Since they have bid farewell to Nadal and Djokovic in the singles arena, it also means that the only chance to see the big four games now is at Doubles, and it's still a final, it's worth watching.

On the other side of the net was another pair of unseeded players, Julian Knowle and Philip Oswald from Austria.

Noel, 41 years old, is currently ranked 50th in the doubles world.

Oswald, 29 years old, is currently ranked 53rd in the doubles world.

It can be seen from a simple set of data that this pair of doubles partners is not a well-known top combination in the professional circuit, but it also proves once again that the beginning of the season is unstable and uncertain, even in the doubles arena. exception-

The combination of Noll and Oswald knocked out the No. 2 seed in the first round; in the semi-finals, they upset another pair of Spanish pairs, Verdasco and Marrero, and went all the way to the final with great success, becoming the winner of this year's Doha doubles competition. The biggest dark horse.

Before the game, Verdasco and Marrero generously shared their feelings about the game and provided a lot of information for Nadal and Gawain to prepare for the game.

On the whole, Noel is a relatively weak link in this pair of partners. It has no direct relationship with age. It is more about his control over the shot, and he lacks some handling methods. It seems monotonous, which also means that loopholes are prone to appear.

Oswald is younger and more changeable, especially in front of the net.

After the start of the game, Nadal and Gao Wen went the opposite way and seized Oswald as a breakthrough, successfully breaking the balance on the field—

They used unconventional tactics of adjusting forward and pressing backward.

To put it simply, it is to use a small ball to mobilize players to the front of the net, and then use a high ball to attack the gap in the backcourt.

This is a tactic often used in singles, especially on clay. Long-distance vertical movement can always achieve a very positive mobilization effect; but in doubles ~lightnovelpub.net~ because there are two players on the opposite side of the court to cover, so The advantage in front of the net is particularly obvious, and the overhead shot is very dangerous.

However, Nadal and Gawain's high-ball skills are very good. Instead, they seized Oswald's eagerness to press the Internet to create loopholes.

On the one hand, Oswald seemed a little impatient, and the pre-net processing was not delicate enough.

On the other hand, Noel's bottom-line hitting ability is also an obvious shortcoming. Strength, speed and spin, etc., can't seize the advantage in all aspects, and whether it is Nadal or Gao Wen, they are the same, only the power of parry , There is no power to fight back.

In sharp contrast, Nadal and Gao Wen, who gradually found a tacit understanding, became more and more proficient.

with full force!

"6:3", "6:1".

Judging from the score, the combination of Nadal and Gao Wen easily won; but from the time spent in the game, it can be seen that the intensity of the actual duel is still beyond imagination.

Seventy-nine minutes.

In the whole game, Nadal and Gao Wen faced the test of five break points, all of which were successfully saved; and created eleven break points in the opponent's serve game, successfully broke three times, and won the championship with an absolutely strong performance.

In the first cooperation, Nadal and Gao Wen collided with each other, won the championship and kicked off the season. This is the real good start.

However, Gao Wen has no time to rest, and for the fourth day in a row, he will continue to face the test of a one-day double match.

After only two and a half hours of rest, Gawain made his debut again to face the Croatian giant Karlovic.

Judging from Gao Wen's performance, he was indeed youthful and invincible, and the test of physical strength and energy was not a problem at all, because Gao Wen won again.

"6:7(2, "7:6(4, "7:6(5.
