There is no doubt that tennis lovers living in such an era are happy and lucky.
They witnessed the four giants joining forces to push ATP events to a new level, and even the promotion of tennis on a global scale was fully launched.
Now, they are witnessing the overall rise of the new generation. From the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic to the younger generation, they are springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain, forming a challenger alliance, launching a powerful impact on the rule of the four giants, and truly making men
The tennis world is in full bloom.
From New York to Melbourne and then to Paris, they followed Gao Wen all the way, witnessed history, and became an important part of tennis history. Finally, it came to an end in such a magnificent way at the Philippe Chartier Stadium.
Wen deserves all the praise and respect.
As a result, the Paris audience no longer held back, stood up and applauded, the whole audience cheered, and the mighty thunder burst down.
And it's not just them?
The Chinese audience is no exception, or to be more precise, they are more engaged, immersed, and empathetic than anyone else.
At this moment, it is already 11:20 pm local time in the East Eighth District. More than 60 million viewers are watching the live broadcast of this semi-final through different channels. The cheers and applause of the mountains and tsunamis are overwhelming in the Chinese mainland.
Spreading, embellishing the beauty of the late night into a splendid one.
Maybe, this was just a semi-final, and in the end, the viewership figures were not able to break the peak figure when Li Na won the French Open title; but, don’t forget, it was a victory, a championship, but in front of you, there was a
A defeat, a farewell that ended with regret——
Sixty million people witnessed a failure with their own eyes, but their hearts were still filled with excitement.
One or two people straightened their backs, applauded Gawain, and cheered for a failure, because they witnessed another side of competitive sports.
Tonight, no one sleeps.
Zhan Jun took a deep breath. He understood Hu Litao's silence. He understood 100% that even though he had experienced hundreds of battles, he had seen such scenes many times. Thousands of words were running rampant in his chest. The pale language could not accurately describe his mood. Finally,
Just listen quietly.
Stade Philippe-Chatier, is "talking"——
"Perhaps, the Paris audience is arrogant, picky, demanding, tricky, and difficult to serve, and it seems that only Federer can satisfy their tastes; but equally, the Paris audience is also professional, enthusiastic, arrogant, and wholehearted, always becoming in its own way
The most important part of tennis.”
"It's like right now-"
Zhan Jun's words ended here. No one continued to speak. The director cut the audio to the scene, and the Philippe Chartier Stadium spoke for itself.
More graceful than any praise, greater than any record.
"Bah! Gawain!"
"Bah! Gawain!"
The mountains roared and the tsunami shook the earth.
Gawain was also stunned. He had no idea that the harsh French audience would see him off in such a way, as well as Wawrinka, who was standing on the court and looking at him with firm eyes.
Those sounds, those heat waves, bustling around me, and my blood boils like this little by little——
Indeed, there are no regrets, this is the truth.
He has left all his energy, enthusiasm, and fighting spirit on the court. Even if he does it again, he is not sure that the result may change. Therefore, he has no regrets or regrets. He can face the result of the game calmly, and
Accept failure with dignity.
However, having no regrets does not mean there are no troubles.
Starting from New York, this Grand Slam journey was really incredible. He never thought that he could win the US Open championship, nor did he think that he could ascend to the Australian Open throne. Instead, he won the Grand Slam at the French Open.
The confidence of the winning streak brings some confidence and expectations.
Unfortunately, the nineteen-game winning streak came to an end today.
This is an adventure, an unparalleled adventure. If he deletes the record and starts from scratch, he is not sure whether he can replicate it perfectly; but it doesn't matter, because he has already experienced a unique journey, and he has proven with practical actions that dreams will eventually come true.
will be realized.
It's over, the nineteen-game winning streak is frozen like this. The bitterness, unwillingness, and loss are surging on the tip of the tongue. I turn around and look at the splendor and magnificence in front of me. The mixed emotions of happiness and sadness surge up like this, and even I don't feel it.
Unexpectedly, my throat became slightly choked.
But...but!
This is not the final period, but a period that represents a new beginning.
After turning around and leaving, the Grand Slam journey will start again, and then write a completely different journey:
Maybe he will once again have an outstanding winning streak, maybe even greater than the number nineteen, and chase Federer's Grand Slam winning streak record.
Maybe he turned around and was eliminated in the first round, suffered a Grand Slam losing streak for the first time in his career and suffered a first-round exit in a Grand Slam, and then began to rethink his game.
Everything is possible.
But it is precisely because of the unknown and the countless possibilities that make adventure so fascinating.
He knows that there are still many challenges waiting for him. The battle will not really begin until the end of today. He will finally become a veteran of the tour. He will no longer have the aura of a newbie, and the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers will no longer be there.
Bright, this is the real beginning of a long career.
Therefore, there is no need to be sad or disappointed. He should hold his head high and can't wait to welcome the new adventure that is coming.
Look, who can refuse such a stage?
"Bah! Gawain!"
"Bah! Gawain!"
The whole place was turbulent and thunderous, and the whole world was filled with a shallow golden glow. The dark clouds that had been hanging over the head briefly dispersed, and the warm sunshine surged in the Philippe Chartier Stadium. In a trance, it was like
It's like seeing the vast ocean outside the Monte Carlo Stadium.
Boundless, sparkling, world, no end.
An indescribable emotion surged up, and then turned into a smile at the corner of his mouth, rising and blooming.
Gawain also raised his hands high, smacked his palms, and applauded the audience, thanking them for their support and thanking them for being a part of the game.
It is also his honor and pride to stand in the Stade Philippe-Chatier and complete such a peak competition, giving his all without reservation.
He has no regrets.
Applause, dedicated to Wawrinka, to the audience, to the Stade Philippe-Chatier, and also to himself.
"Thanks!"
Gawain said.
Then, turn around, hold your head high, walk with your head high, and leave the court, leaving this stage and all the wonderful things to Wawrinka——
Today should belong to him.
His battle at Roland Garros has ended; next, they will continue to fight on their own stage, and then wait for the next meeting. Just imagining it, Gawain can't wait to return to training
We look forward to meeting Wawrinka again.
As for the stage and lighting at this moment, leave it to Wawrinka, he deserves it.
