The contention of a hundred schools of thought that has been highly anticipated since the 2014 Australian Open is finally here!
The drama of "Big Four VS Challengers" is becoming more and more exciting and beautiful as the season progresses, and the ups and downs of the climax have begun.
The first one to appear was the battle between Gao Wen and Federer for the No. 2 spot in the world. Obviously, Gao Wen had already seized the opportunity.
Immediately afterwards, the battle for world number one between Gao Wen and Djokovic will draw the attention of tennis fans from all over the world.
Maybe, the clay court season can happen; maybe, it needs to be extended to the North American summer hard court season, but no matter what, the window has indeed appeared.
The big drama has officially begun.
It’s no wonder that the media were so excited. One or two people shouted at the top of their lungs, covering everything from print media to official websites to social networks.
No one can be an exception.
nobody!
If the world rankings are still not intuitive enough, the conversion and accumulation of points are more complicated than imagined, and the direction of the clay court season is still unknown.
Then, the championship points will be much more intuitive and clear at a glance——
First, Gawain.
Second, Djokovic.
Third, Murray.
Fourth, Berdych.
Fifth, Ferrell.
Sixth, Wawrinka.
Seventh, Federer.
Eighth, Kei Nishikori.
Ninth, Raonic.
Tenth, Nadal.
In this list, which is the points since January 1, 2015, Gao Wen has a clear advantage——
Gao Wen's points are 4470, and Djokovic's points are 2505, an advantage of almost two thousand points, which intuitively shows Gao Wen's strength in the first quarter.
Moreover, Djokovic's performance was not bad. He was in the Australian Open finals, the Indian Wells semi-finals, and the Miami finals, but he still lagged so far behind.
The most important thing is that in these three important tournaments, Djokovic lost to the same opponent, which is enough to explain many, many problems.
So, second in the world? First in the world?
It can be seen from the championship standings that Gao Wen has indeed gained the upper hand, and the "Big Four Era" is facing the biggest crisis in ten years.
Not to mention the news media, even MacDonald felt excited after seeing these two rankings:
One step, another step.
Gao Wen is indeed getting closer to the number one spot in the world. Can the 2015 season be even more exciting?
Next, the key is, can Gao Wen continue his previous strong performance on clay and grass after leaving the hard court where he is best?
Don’t forget that from last August to now, it has been a hard court season. For eight months, all games have been played on hard courts. This is also an important factor in achieving Gao Wen’s glory. But now, the hard court season needs to enter
It's offseason, and the tennis world switches to a different channel.
Is this a variable?
"Wow... If he performs well in the next few Masters tournaments, Gao Wen will indeed have a chance at the French Open."
"How do you think Gao Wen performed on clay?"
"It should be no problem. Gao Wen's playing style is adaptable to both fast and slow venues. Just look at his performance in Melbourne and Indian Wells."
"But Gao Wen has been training on hard courts since he was a child. There are too many variables on clay. If we talk about grass, I think the chance may be better."
"Mike, what do you think? Gao Wen probably never played on clay when he was in college or high school, right?"
Along with the topic, the bustling eyes all focused on Macdonald again.
MacDonald was still in a state of excitement and was sincerely happy for his friend. His attention was drawn back for a moment, and then he smiled.
"Yes, he has never played on clay before. Changing venues should be a challenge."
"But you should also know that when your level reaches a certain level, your ability to adapt to different venues will also improve. Where is the lower limit?"
"Moreover, Gao Wen has always been a player who relies on his head to play. After switching venues, I think he will quickly be able to find different ways of playing."
Everyone nodded one after another——
If it were other young players, they might be a little hesitant, but if it were Gawain, the situation would be different. It seemed that everything was possible, and any problem could be solved when it came to Gawain.
A pure trust.
Macdonald's blood also began to boil, and a burning ambition surged in his chest.
"Obviously, Gao Wen needs to face a difficult battle next. The challenges of the clay court season and the grass court season should be unprecedentedly difficult."
"Similarly, we also need to face a difficult battle next. This season, the Trojans are in better shape than us, but this does not mean that they can win, and it does not mean that we will give up. At any time, in the face of
We won't give up against the Trojans."
"I'm ready to train, how about it, who else can join me?"
Simple and unpretentious words, without impassioned passion or inspiration from heroic words, but in the plain and sincere words, I can feel the burning energy deep in my soul.
"I!"
"And I!"
"You guys, all talk but no practice, look, I've already started taking action."
"You are running away, okay?"
"Come on, let me compete with you."
One by two, they all jumped for joy, raised their heads, puffed out their chests, and devoted themselves to training with full energy, without even needing to be greeted by the captain.
Light footsteps, cheerful voices, active figures, bathed in the breeze, igniting fighting spirit, sweating under the sun, showing youthfulness.
Quietly, the shadow of two consecutive defeats and the pressure of three consecutive losses are dissipating with the wind. Pick yourself up and find your own way of fighting.
MacDonald didn't say much and joined the warm-up procession in silence to prepare for a new day of training.
Order was quickly restored at the training ground.
When Grant appeared on the court, he could feel the team's obviously different aura at a glance. The high spirit and positivity that permeated the air were as bright and dazzling as the sun. This made his eyes wide open and stunned, and he couldn't believe his eyes:
How come such earth-shaking changes occurred in just one day?
The day before yesterday, they were still struggling with how to boost the low morale of the Bruins. Even the pressure of the city derby no longer served as a motivation for the fight. Instead, it turned into the shadow of a potential three-game losing streak hanging over their heads, making people breathless.
Today, the players looked brand new, with no trace of frustration or distress at all, as if they had defeated the Trojans.
"Coach! Good morning!"
"Good morning!"
The players jogged past Grant one by one, greeting him energetically, but without waiting for a response, they rushed past with a cheer.
Grant stood there blankly:
So, what happened yesterday?
When Martin arrived at the training ground, he saw the scene in front of him and looked at Grant's confused face, and the smile at the corner of his mouth rose slightly.
Martin patted Grant on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "We still have another player on the team. Don't underestimate his energy."
