Chapter 880 Standard Ending

"Kokau, good morning, who will advance to the semi-finals of men's singles?"

"Friends in the audience, welcome back to 'The-AO-Show', we are broadcasting live from Melbourne Park, the panoramic scene of the ninth match day of the 2015 Australian Open."

"Today's quarter-finals of singles is about to be staged, which also means that we are one step closer to the final. Just now, we have analyzed the women's competition, and next, it should be the men's competition..."

"Australian Open Show" is an official panorama live broadcast program from the Australian Open. It starts at 10 o'clock in the morning every day and will be broadcast live until the end of all matches.

Of course, the program is not responsible for the live broadcast of the game, but a panoramic view of the entire Melbourne Park, responsible for the series of games and the broadcast of the highlights of the game.

After each focus matchup, the program will invite players to come to the program as guests. There is no limit to the winner or loser. They will talk about the feelings and tidbits of the game. Simple interviews can let fans know more about their favorite players , and those games worth noting.

Most importantly, the program often invites one or two professionals to come and interpret the game from a professional perspective. The difference from the live commentary is that they are responsible for the overall analysis—

Before the game, predict the game and point out the highlights of the game.

After the game, summarize the game and analyze the key to victory or defeat.

While being professional enough, it remains light and entertaining, running through the whole day of the match day, easing the nerves of fans watching the tense games.

In the morning, all the program needs to do is to point out the key games worthy of attention today, and to look forward.

So far, the event has entered the quarter-final stage, which also means that both the men's singles and women's singles have only four games each, and there is no need for a panoramic analysis, but a specific analysis of each game, because every game is focused on the game.

But this year, the analysis and predictions seem a little... tasteless, especially in the men's singles, the top eight lineup lacks surprises.

The top eight seeds, except for Federer's upset exit, all returned to their positions smoothly, and the draw was executed perfectly, so the prediction became much easier.

"Djokovic VS Berdych", obviously, Djokovic, who has a record of 17 wins and 2 losses, is more optimistic.

"Wawrinka VS Kei Nishikori", Wawrinka won both games, but both games took place in 2012, that is, before Kei Nishikori changed, so there is a little suspense about the outcome; however, Wawrinka The transformation has also been completed. As the defending champion, the prospect is also promising.

"Murray VS Karlovic", Murray maintained a strong record of winning five games and only losing two sets, showing his huge advantage against Karlovic.

In the above three games, suspense exists objectively. After all, there is always an unknown in competitive sports, but overall, the winning rate is obviously more favorable to one of them—

No suspense, no surprises.

There is a very, very high probability that the three old faces of Djokovic, Wawrinka, and Murray will return to the ranks of the top four, and the familiar ending of the familiar story.

It’s not that the fans have any opinions on them, aside from the elimination of the most popular Federer, of course these old faces still have a huge fan base, and the peak match is still a happy situation; it’s just that it’s slightly lower than expected, and The imagined situation is different.

Look back at last year's four Grand Slam final eight lineups:

Wawrinka and Dimitrov at the Australian Open.

Raonic, Gulbis and Monfils at the French Open.

Cilic, Dimitrov, Wawrinka and Kyrgios at Wimbledon.

Gao Wen, Cilic, Kei Nishikori and Monfils at the US Open.

Fresh faces have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Among them, Wawrinka and Gawain are still at the top. Everything indicates that the men's tennis world will usher in a new atmosphere.

It is against this background that the Australian Open debuted. Since two weeks before the opening of the event, people have been looking forward to a different scene this year.

The results of it?

The top eighth seeds all returned to their positions, and the only lost seat was occupied by a veteran like Karlovic. I have to say that this is like a bucket of cold water.

Of course, objectively speaking, Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori can still trigger extensive discussions. Their good form has continued from last year to this year, and they still shoulder the important task of disrupting the order of men's tennis. But what about the new generation who are placed on high expectations?

What about the "post-90s" who set off a youth storm at the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open last year?

From this point of view, among the quarter-finals, there is only one duel that can shoulder expectations and retain suspense:

"Nadal VS Gawain".

Judging from the records of previous fights, Nadal won the only two-handed fight, but there are too few reference data to make a judgment.

What's more, the focus now should be on Nadal's own state? And what about Gao Wen's condition?

For both sides, this game is a test.

It can be foreseen that this should be a game full of variables and suspense, and the on-the-spot performance should determine the outcome, especially compared to the other three games, the "Big Four VS Rookie" duel is even more eye-catching and cohesive. The ardent expectation of countless tennis fans all over the world.

But the host and guests of the "Australian Open Show" don't seem to think so.

"Nadal is a typical competitive player. He needs to be tempered by the game before he can play slowly. With the second week of the game, Nadal's state has been mobilized little by little. Wen, he should obviously be favored."

"Objectively speaking, Gao Wen's state still needs to be questioned. Everyone said that he has advanced to the quarterfinals without losing a set, and he is obviously feeling hot; but it should be noted that Gao Wen has not faced any opponent so far. Seed player, Nadal is the touchstone."

"again against Gawain, Nadal is obviously the more favored side."

One sided!

In the forward-looking analysis of the "Australian Open Show", the host and guests overwhelmingly supported Nadal, and almost no one spoke for Gao Wen—

Although this is a personal opinion~lightnovelpub.net~ is not representative, but such an overwhelming advantage is somewhat different from the analysis of global media and professionals.

So, is this really objective? Is there really no interference of "private subjective emotions"?

Looking at the unquestionable expressions of the host and guests, a few words seem to set the atmosphere and tone. This year's Australian Open's semi-final matchup will most likely be a standard ending.

What the **** should this be worth celebrating? Or should we be sorry?

"If the semi-final match is 'Djokovic VS Wawrinka', 'Nadal VS Murray', I can accept it."

"Yes, I voted for it too, although it is a pity that Federer is missing, but another Swiss fills the pity, and I guess that is no problem."

"From the moment the lottery is released, this kind of semi-final matchup should be what everyone expects, right?"

Unknowingly, seeing the thread of the entire program irrevocably converge in one direction, the topic of "Big Four VS Challengers" is no longer important, and then, someone finally stepped forward:

"Sorry, I don't think so."
