Chapter 839

An inspiration, a picture flashed in my mind, when I stood in front of the net and shook hands to signal, I caught a glimpse of Gao Wen's appearance out of the corner of my eye—

That guy looked dry and relaxed, and he didn't seem to be sweating much at all, so he just warmed up briefly, and the game ended like this.

"He's meowing."

Koginakis had the urge to go back and check to see if the guy really wasn't sweating, but his remaining rationality restrained himself.

Creak creak.

He gritted his teeth viciously, stomped his feet heavily, and forced himself to leave the Hisense Stadium, otherwise, he didn't know what he would do.

However, when I went back to the dressing room, took a shower, and washed away my bad luck, those stress and depression finally flowed into the sewer along with the hot water, but I didn't expect that I would come out refreshed, thinking that I could finally temporarily put that Throw the guy into the trash, don't think about him again for a short time, and as a result, there are discussions in the next cubicle.

"...I just heard that Gao Wen went to the practice field, is it true?"

"Oh, really. Immediately after the game, his agent went to ask if there was any free practice field. After getting an affirmative answer, Gao Wen went directly to the practice field from the players' lounge."

"That pervert!"

"It should be that the intensity of the competition is not enough. For the follow-up competition, we should indeed train and train."

"Wow, besides Rafa, there is also a training madman among the young people."

"It's not surprising. I just glanced at the scoreboard. It seems that Gao Wen only lost four rounds in total. The whole game only lasted 90 minutes. A training game is more intense than this..."

blah blah blah.

Accompanied by the sound, Koginakis' body became stiff little by little, freezing from the soles of his feet all the way to his head, and the top of his head felt cool.

So, this is considered to be able to hide from the first day of the junior high school, but not the fifteenth day?

That guy really lingers!

"…Grass!"

There was a loud thunder in the locker room, so that the players in the next cubicle were startled and looked at each other, but they didn't know what happened.

…

On the other hand, the first match day of the 2015 Australian Open is nearing the end of the matinee, and the night time is about to enter, and Melbourne Park is waiting excitedly.

So far, the men's singles has been uneventful.

The only accident came from the Spanish veteran, No. 16 seed Robredo. Because of the hot weather in Melbourne and dehydration due to heatstroke, in the sixth game of the third set, he almost fainted and had difficulty breathing. The doctor believed that It may be life-threatening to continue the game and was eventually forced to retire.

And the women's singles field is... upset.

The biggest upset came from the fifth seed Ivanovic. After defeating Czech veteran Hradka 6-1, he suddenly lost the chain and lost two sets in a row. This has also become the first singles match since the start The seeded players who were eliminated were stunned.

In addition, No. 9 seed Kerber, No. 28 seed Liski, and No. 32 seed Bencic are all out.

Among them, Bencic's exit also sparked heated discussions.

Last year at the US Open, Bencic, who was born in 1997, broke into the quarter-finals for the first time in his career at the US Open, setting off a youth storm with Gao Wen.

However, when he came to the Australian Open, the high-profile Bencic was among the seeded players for the first time, but in the first round, he encountered the "giant killer" among the unseeded players, Julia Gerges from Germany (Julia-) , In the end, only three rounds were taken, and they were out of the game.

This is also amazing once again, the professional arena is not easy, very, very difficult, and the "geniuses" who become famous overnight always have to go through shocking education to grow up.

On the first match day, before the matinee ended, it was already a bloodbath.

Here, outside of the spotlight, there are many, many players who are silently preparing for their Grand Slam tournaments.

For example, Zhang Ze.

Born in 1990, currently ranked 187 in the world, China's No. 2 player in men's singles.

Of course, for a long, long time in the world, the young Zhang Ze was the number one single player in China. Until last summer, another younger player was born.

For Gao Wen, Zhang Ze felt differently.

On the one hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, because the heavy responsibility of breaking through the first Grand Slam victory has been relieved, and Gao Wen has set countless records in one go, which also means that they no longer need to bear the responsibility, but Just focus on sticking to yourself.

On the other hand, he also inspired fighting spirit. As Gao Wen said, since he can do it, it also proves that other Asian male players can also do it. They should stop self-doubt, insist on training step by step, and then everything It will work out.

In addition, like Zhang Shuai and the others, Zhang Ze was more or less hesitant. Anyway, Gao Wen is now at the peak, and he has soared into the sky in a short period of time, so that they can only look up. , the seemingly simple gap, but it lies in front of you like a natural moat.

However, Gao Wen's success is more of an incentive, encouraging Zhang Ze to go all out and look forward to his breakthrough in the Grand Slam.

This year is the second consecutive year for Zhang Ze to compete in the Australian Open.

In fact, Zhang Ze has already started a series of targeted preparations for his second grand slam competition after passing the three rounds of qualifying rounds to qualify for the main match for the first time in his career last year.

During winter training, Zhang Ze paid special attention to physical reserves, ensuring that his cardiopulmonary function could support a five-set three-win match.

The other is to pay attention to preventing injuries, protecting muscles, and forming a virtuous cycle of training.

After the start of the new season, Zhang Ze competed for two consecutive weeks. When he was in Adelaide in the first week, the high temperature of more than 40 degrees and the fierce outdoor wind made him very uncomfortable and couldn't find the north; but in the second week When participating in the qualifiers in Sydney, the state has obviously improved a lot.

Arriving in Melbourne, Zhang Ze's signing can't be said to be good or bad:

He drew Hewitt.

The youngest world No. 1 in history, and also the banner figure of contemporary Australian tennis, but now Hewitt has entered the second half of his career~lightnovelpub.net~ Not only is he not a seed player, but his state is not as good as the peak, Therefore, Zhang Ze still has the strength to fight.

And, if nothing else, this game will definitely be scheduled at Rod Laver Stadium—

For every professional player, it is a dream to stand on the center court of the four Grand Slams.

really!

Just an hour ago, the Australian Open announced the schedule for the second match day. The match between Hewitt and Zhang Ze was arranged in the matinee of Rod Laver Stadium.

Involuntarily, Zhang Ze thought of Gao Wen's experience at the US Open last year—

He was also assigned to Arthur Ashe Stadium in his first Grand Slam match against home-grown title hope Isner.

The results of it?

Gao Wen won and broke out a shocking upset.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ze couldn't help but feel excited, not because he wanted to touch Gao Wen, but because Gao Wen's spirit inspired him:

Going all out and holding nothing back so that when the game is over, win or lose, he can leave Rod Laver Stadium with his head held high.
