The 2015 Indian Wells Masters has entered the second half, the quarter-finals, and officially started——
In the first game, Gawain faced off against Kei Nishikori, the third showdown of "Asia's No. 1 Brother VS Asia's No. 2 Brother".
"6:3", "6:3".
Gao Wen defeated his opponent in straight sets and won three consecutive victories against Nishikori Kei, further consolidating his position as Asia's No. 1 brother.
Judging from the game process to the results, Kei Nishikori's state has indeed fluctuated significantly in recent times. Although he just defeated Raonic and Pospisil in the Davis Cup, and after arriving in Indian Wells, he defeated Wojciech for the first time in his career.
Dusco, but there seems to be little he can do against Gawain.
The core reason is that the quality of the batting has declined, the rhythm of grabbing the rising point has not been able to form effective pressure, and the confrontation has completely failed.
Of course, Gawain's gradual improvement is due to another reason.
In the second game, Nadal faced Raonic.
Obviously, after experiencing a series of injuries in the second half of last year, Nadal's condition declined in all aspects after returning from injury this season.
In Melbourne, he was eliminated by Gao Wen in straight sets; in Rio de Janeiro, he lost to Fognini for the first time in his career.
So far this season, he has only 11 wins and 4 losses, and is going through the worst period of his career.
This time when he came to Indian Wells, it was still the same. Facing Raonic, who had won all five matches in his career and only lost one set, Nadal performed poorly.
"6:4", "6:7(10)", "5:7".
Nadal missed three match points and finally lost.
Raonic beats Nadal for the first time in his career!
This also means that Raonic is one step closer to the milestone of "defeating the Big Four" in his career, and now only Djokovic is left.
Although Raonic's condition was not at his best, in this game, he did show his high fighting spirit and big heart at critical moments, which left a deep impression.
In the third game, Djokovic faced Murray.
There is still no suspense in the game.
After Murray returned from injury, his condition has been on an upward curve, but in front of Djokovic, facing an old childhood rival whose tactical style and game type are almost exactly the same as his own, Murray must show his best.
Only the best can have the opportunity——
It's obviously not that time yet.
Djokovic defeated Murray in straight sets and won six consecutive games against Murray.
In the fourth game, Federer faced Berdych.
Likewise, there is no suspense.
The one who had the last laugh was Federer.
Not only did he lose two straight sets, but Federer also mercilessly sent out a donut in the second set, clearing the match.
After two consecutive defeats against Berdych in 2012 and 2013, Federer got back on track and won two consecutive victories against Berdych.
At this point, the top four have been settled, and the lineup is completely in line with expectations——
"Djokovic VS Gawain".
"Federer VS Raonic."
The two giants faced off against the two leaders of the "post-90s" youth storm. There is no doubt that this is the situation that all the media and all fans are looking forward to.
Even better than the Australian Open.
It's not that people have any objections to Wawrinka or Murray, it's simply because people still want to see the rise of the younger generation, with new faces and new atmosphere. These immature chicks born after 1990 or 1995 need to grow up.
Stand up and support the future sky of tennis.
Starting from the breakthroughs of Raonic and Dimitrov at Wimbledon last year, it has been going around for ten months, and finally we are facing this situation again.
"Perfect Match".
The ATP official website used this title to label the top four lineups in Indian Wells, and once again witnessed the surging popularity of the "fifth Grand Slam".
Moreover, in addition to the topic of "Big Four VS Challengers", these two sets of matches also coincide with the focus of the previous Masters.
Last Masters?
That is, at the Paris Masters at the end of last year, Raonic defeated Federer in an upset, but then Raonic lost to Gauvin again.
On the final stage, Gao Wen saved the match point to defeat Djokovic, achieved two consecutive victories against Djokovic, and won a substitute seat in the year-end finals. That game should also be "Djokovic".
Vicky VS Gawain" This set of duels set off the focus and the beginning of heated discussions.
Everything started from that time.
Although a full month has passed in the Australian Open final, when people talk about the fact that Gawain allowed Djokovic to win the championship with a two-match three-pointer, they still can't help but feel excited. The scenes of that night are still vivid in their minds.
The temperature, those sweats and those shouts.
Of course, there is Serjan.
Who can forget the controversy surrounding Cer Young’s big mouth off the court?
To be precise, not only was no one forgotten, but every once in a while, someone would pull Serjan out and "whip his corpse" repeatedly, constantly awakening Serjan's painful memories.
"Didn't you say that kid with a mouth full of fluff could never win the Australian Open?"
Pictured below,
Gao Wen held up the Norman Brooks Challenge Cup and bathed in the sky of paper fireworks with a bright smile.
again and again.
Have fun with it!
In the blink of an eye, from Melbourne to Indian Wells, the Australian Open final was staged again; of course, the classic matchup of the Paris Masters was also re-enacted.
It is foreseeable that with the overall rise of Gao Wen, there will definitely be more and more opportunities for Gao Wen to interact with the Big Four in the future, just like the rise of Djokovic and Murray; but in just six months, this has already happened.
This is the fifth meeting between Gao Wen and Djokovic, which is really a lot.
So, what about this time?
"Mr. Serjan Djokovic, may I ask, what about this time? How about you predict the outcome of the game in advance?"
Not only social networks, but media reporters also became lively. One or two people didn’t mind watching the fun and headed to Belgrade one after another——
This time, Serjan did not follow his son to compete in North America, but stayed in Belgrade to run a restaurant named after Djokovic.
In the bustle, the media once again surrounded Serjan.
Originally, Serjan refused to make any response.
The painful lesson in Melbourne is still a deep pain that cannot be forgotten. Serjan is really not in the mood to deal with the media and just wants them to disappear.
But those who have actually experienced the media siege know that media reporters are never easy to mess with. They will not give up until their goals are achieved, and they will pursue and intercept them at all costs. In the era of entertainment to death, as long as they can get hot spots or gimmicks,
, they will never show mercy.
In the end, the reporters succeeded in angering Serjan——
This time, Serjan cannot be blamed. It was actually because the reporters were too fierce and he was unable to resist them after all.
"roll!"
"Novak will beat him, and let me tell you, Novak will teach him a lesson."
"Remember, Novak is the number one in the world, and Novak is the best in history. He will always be able to follow Novak. At most, he will be number two in the world, and he will always be number two."
Anger finally broke free and ran rampant like a wild horse, and then the reporters succeeded.
