They were sparse and not obvious, but gradually they became connected. You could clearly feel the dissatisfaction and contempt of the audience, and the atmosphere changed instantly.
what happened?
Gawain and Dimitrov, who were celebrating their victory, were full of questions. How did they offend the audience? Why were there so many boos?
Looking around, they found the answer -
Pospisil.
Pospisil did not accept the result calmly. When Gawain and Dimitrov celebrated their victory, he walked to the referee's chair and asked to confirm the landing point.
It can be said that Pospisil did not believe that Gawain's return ball could fall within the bounds; it can also be said that Pospisil firmly believed that Gawain's return ball was out of bounds; it can also be said that Pospisil refused to believe that Gawain's return ball was so.
He won the victory easily and even sent out a donut to clear the table in the second game.
Of course, this is Pospisil's right. He is completely able to make such a request. Regardless of whether it is on match point or not, the referee must respond.
So, the referee came down.
It was this scene that caused some boos, but only from a small group of viewers——
Most of the spectators were still cheering and celebrating the incredible match point, but a very small group of spectators noticed the episode at the end of the match.
Their reaction was very direct and simple. In their view, Pospisil's behavior was a loss and was disgraceful.
It's not just the audience.
Sock was also very surprised by Pospisil's move. He was already preparing to go to the net to congratulate Gawain and Dimitrov, but he saw his partner's actions.
"Vasek..."
Sok called out, but Pospisil did not look back at all. Although Sok wanted to say something else, he still did not say it after all:
In any case, this is indeed Pospisil's right; and if Gao Wen's return ball really goes out of bounds, it means that the game is not over, they still have a chance, and they should not give up the game easily. Sock should stand by Pospisil
Pisier, for his part, faithfully plays the role of partner.
Sok, stood there and waited patiently. He didn't wait too long——
The results came out quickly.
The referee signaled: Press the line.
However, Pospisil did not agree with the referee's judgment. He protested and insisted that the return ball was out of bounds this time, and the two had a dispute.
This time, more and more people noticed the bottom line episode, dissatisfaction and contempt gradually spread, and the boos became more and more violent.
Shh!
Originally, this should have been a moment of glory for the champion, but now Pospisil successfully stole the show, allowing the focus to return to him again.
The referee had already made a judgment, and at Pospisil's request, he checked the landing point for the second time, insisted on his decision, and gave a detailed explanation, saying that this was his final decision. However, Pospisil still refused to comply.
Rao, refused to obey the referee's judgment.
Shhhhhhh!
The boos grew louder and louder.
If it is Pospisil's right to ask for a check on the landing point; then after the referee confirmed the landing point and pressed the line, Pospisil's messiness lacked grace.
Coupled with Pospisil's performance of taking the initiative to let go of the opportunity to hit the ball at the match point, at this time, it looks like a struggle to cover up his embarrassment and embarrassment after becoming angry. Those who persisted, were tough and entangled, but only let
His behavior just seems more cowardly.
Moreover, to take a step back, even if the ball really went out of bounds, the situation of Sock's combination was over. In the second set, they were already "0:5" behind by a big margin. Even when their opponents served to win the game, they were also "lost".
Falling behind at 15:40, from any point of view, this game has already been decided.
Pospisil's protest only highlighted his narrow-mindedness.
The booing never stopped.
Suoke couldn't stand it anymore. He jogged all the way to the bottom line and carefully observed the landing points——
Press line.
Although it is somewhat dangerous, Sock also believes that a quarter of the tennis ball is pressed on the line. In a tennis match, when challenged through the eagle eye, even if it is just a slight touch on the line, one percent of contact, the same
If it is determined that the ball is over the line, then this ball is undoubtedly in bounds.
Sock raised his head and immediately looked across the court, because Gawain and Dimitrov also came to the net to pay attention to the situation here.
Sock made an inbound gesture to confirm; then he looked at Pospisil and tried to intervene in the conversation, but Pospisil was a little excited——
Some swear words were mixed in the words unconsciously.
The referee refused to continue the communication and scolded sternly, "This is my final judgment. If you have any objection to the judgment, please submit a review application after the game, but the discussion on the court ends here."
After saying that, the referee ignored Pospisil, jogged all the way back to the referee's chair, and then announced the result of the game through the microphone.
"Game, Gao/Dimirov, 7:5, 6:0..."
The whole game comes to an end.
The boos turned into cheers and whistles again, and then quickly turned into applause.
In the field of vision, one after another, you can see that the entire audience stood up and congratulated the champion with applause. In this way, they made up for the accidents and twists and turns in the final stage of the game and brought the scene back to the celebration.
A championship party atmosphere and a sincere respect.
A little bit, a little bit, just like this, they gather into a storm.
Bottom line side.
Sock looked at the dejected Pospisil, feeling helpless.
On the one hand, he completely disagreed with his partner's behavior, including the entire behavior in the second set; but on the other hand, he could deeply feel his partner's frustration and depression, and it was difficult to accept the defeat of this game, and he still acted like this
A total collapse in a frustrating way.
call……
Sok let out a long breath, and patted Pospisil's back to express comfort.
"Vasek, the game is over."
A simple sentence contains too many emotions at this moment.
Pospisil seemed to have finally regained his senses, took steps forward, and returned to the net with Sock to complete the final ceremony at the end of the game:
shake hands.
Pospisil does not want to face Gawain.
He thought that Gawain would humiliate him severely, or show contempt and disdain. He really couldn't imagine such a scene.
Just thinking about it made my stomach start to feel hot, and every cell in my body started to resist.
However--
not at all.
Nothing at all.
Shake hands, smile, nod, greet.
That's all.
Like all post-game handshakes at the end of the game, there was nothing special about it, and even the look in his eyes didn't have any special meaning. It was calm.
It was so unexpected that Pospisil did not react and was stunned involuntarily:
Things shouldn't be like this?
After finishing the handshake, he stood there and glanced at Gawain one more time. His mind couldn't turn around for a while, which blocked Sok's progress.
