Match Point

Chapter 903: different curves

In 2015, before the Australian Open, the topics of "new and old confrontation" and "defender vs. challenger" were absolutely hot topics.

From the men's competition to the women's competition, and even the challenges faced by the Bryan brothers in the doubles arena, it is no exception, adding icing on the cake to add fuel to the topic.

Then-

Everything was really staged like this, especially the men's and women's singles championship situation, as if the script had been written by the director, and there was no shortage of various topics.

Time! Good location! Renhe!

Arrangements from the fate, which also makes Melbourne Park undoubtedly the hottest focus of competitive sports in the world in January this year.

In just a few hours, the craze of social networking has been pushed to a new peak.

Looking at it from another perspective, Selyang immediately commented on Nadal's exit and expressed his disdain for Gao Wen, which indirectly proved his concern.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that there was a turbulent heat wave outside the training ground early this morning. The local fans are really anxious.

Dimitrov glanced at the fanatical fans following in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, "Even Maria has heard your news. You know, she hardly watches these off-field tidbits."

Gao Wen shrugged his shoulders with an innocent face, "I hardly watch it either."

The disdain in the words made Dimitrov stunned, and then he laughed out loud, but after the laugh, there was still some worry in his eyes.

"Gao Wen, are you sure it's okay?"

Dimitrov and Gawain are a very interesting combination of friends.

Dimitrov is sunny, confident, humorous, and makes friends all over the world. At first glance, he looks full of personality and sharp-edged, but in fact, Dimitrov is a big boy who is approachable, loves to laugh and loves to play. When I usually give interviews, I never offend anyone.

Gao Wen, generous, humble and low-key, devotes himself to the training ground, rarely takes the initiative to make friends, and hardly sees him in the social activities of the players; but in fact, Gao Wen is a confident, daring The young man who dared to hate did not hide his edge.

Selyang's big mouth, in fact, everyone in the professional circuit knows it, and everyone doesn't like it; if you add Djokovic's mother and wife, it is simply a permutation combination that makes people shy away, player If we meet them by chance on the road, we will pretend not to see them.

But everyone knows that it is impossible for Djokovic to accuse Selyang; and there is one thing to say, Djokovic is very friendly to other players in private, and even has a tendency to deliberately show himself, not necessarily for To please the players is more to make others like him.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling face.

Therefore, most of the players on the tour ignored Selyang, buzzing like a mosquito, and he was just talking about it anyway.

And this year in Melbourne, Gao Wen and Selyang have faced each other twice, and Djokovic should not be happy to see his father's situation.

Dimitrov was inevitably a little worried, worried that the relationship between Gao Wen and Djokovic would become stagnant.

Gawain, however, looked calm and patted Dimitrov on the shoulder, "I've just exerted my strength, and he can't hold on anymore. That would be too boring."

Dimitrov: …

Jaw-dropping.

Dimitrov stared blankly at Gawain, and finally realized that Gawain was joking, and his smile rose, "Why didn't I know you're such a braggart?"

Gao Wen didn't speak either, he just raised his right hand and shook it, as if saying: Sprinkle water.

Dimitrov burst into laughter.

On the contrary, Gao Wen was calm and calm, "Grigor, we need to start practicing. Andy is doing well in Melbourne Park this year."

There was still a smile on the corner of Dimitrov's mouth, and he was in a relaxed mood, but he still drew his attention back and nodded repeatedly to express his affirmation.

"Yes, Andy is indeed in good shape."

"I think the venue here is very suitable for him, giving him enough time to observe, layout, and adjustment, and the entire batting rhythm slows down..."

After rambling on, Dimitrov started discussing with Gao Wen, because he had just fought against Murray three days ago and regretted losing.

Murray and Nadal also suffered injuries and also returned from injuries. After the opening of the new season, they walked out of two different curves.

Nadal chose Doha to come back, but his condition was mediocre; he was still in the adjustment stage after arriving in Melbourne.

It can be seen that after being absent for most of the season, his touch, state, physical condition and adaptation to the intensity of the game have not fully recovered. He still needs more time and more games to return to professional sports. Intensity, the entire curve fluctuates upwards.

Murray, who missed the warm-up for the new season, was airborne in Melbourne, which also left a big question mark, and there were hidden dangers, but the facts proved the correctness of the strategy.

In the second half of last year, after returning from injury, Murray frantically competed for points. In the Asian season and the European indoor season, he not only played with full attendance, but also performed well. He rushed to the year-end finals at the last moment; The worst loss of his career.

With the opening of the new season, Murray did not rush to play, but left enough time for his body to recover slowly, and then find his competitive state.

After arriving in Melbourne, Murray did show a good competitive state.

In the first three rounds, although they did not encounter seed players, they faced Australian player Marinko-Matosevic (Marinko-Matosevic) in the second round and Portuguese player Sousa in the third round. Murray's straight-set win was won with ease.

In the fourth round, he defeated Dimitrov in four sets; in the quarterfinals, he swept Karlovic in three sets.

Game by game, Murray gradually found his own state, and his performance is indeed getting better and better; and after the rapid march in the second half of last year, it can already be clearly felt that the negative impact of injuries is fading away , Murray has indeed found his recent best.

Unlike Nadal, Murray has shown a continuous upward curve.

Now look at ~lightnovelpub.net~ The absence of the pre-Melbourne warm-up match is not due to injury, but more of a strategic choice to rest and recuperate, allowing the body to have more time to recover and recuperate.

Moreover, Murray is very fond of and very suitable for the Melbourne Park venue.

Among the four Grand Slams, Murray took the lead in breaking through the US Open, the best performance was Wimbledon, and the most stable performance was the Australian Open.

In 2010, Murray ushered in a breakthrough at Melbourne Park and entered the final for the first time. In the end, he regretted losing to Federer and finished second. Since then, he has been very stable.

Three runners-up, one semi-final, one quarter-final.

The only quarterfinal came in 2014, that is, last year. After being reimbursed for the season due to a back injury, he came back in the new season, and then broke into the quarterfinals at the Australian Open. This is also his worst record in five years.

This year, Murray returned to the ranks of the semi-finals.

It can be seen from here that Murray really likes to play in Melbourne Park, and has always performed well.
