Murray believes that he has been able to face it calmly.
The media once asked such a question:
Why do the other three giants have a very close relationship with Murray? Not only do they often invite Murray to train, but they also often communicate with each other in private. However, the other three giants do not have such a bond and more or less just maintain a kind of peace.
, but did not go further on a personal level?
To this, Murray replied self-deprecatingly, "Maybe because all three of them beat me so often."
Murray knows about the battle records and the doubts. He knows them all.
Murray's career has never been easy——
When he was sixteen years old, he was diagnosed with congenital bipartite patella.
In other words, most people's kneecaps are formed by the ossification of a single piece of cartilage; but in rare cases, such as Murray's, the kneecaps are composed of two bones and are held together only by fibrous tissue.
For ordinary people, they will never find that they have such a problem in their lifetime, but professional players are different. During high-intensity exercise, the symptoms of the knee may be very obvious, not only the pain is obvious, but also easy to be injured.
Unfortunately, this is congenital and there is no way to cure it.
Therefore, more than one expert and more than one coach told Murray that he was not suitable for competitive sports.
Including Murray's grandmother, she never expected that Murray would be able to achieve his current results.
However, Murray did not give up or disarm.
He is struggling, he is fighting, he is working hard, running all the way, he believes in himself and is willing to give 200% of his sweat and blood.
Therefore, Murray has achieved great success in different age groups and has become the best player in his age group. He believes that he can continue to fight and sprint. He believes that he can become a Grand Slam champion. He believes that he can become a Grand Slam champion.
Number one in the world, unswervingly.
A belief has always supported Murray.
Even when facing the other Big Three, the record was not on his side, he never gave up, never got discouraged, never got discouraged, but worked hard again and again in his own way.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, he is like Sisyphus pushing a stone that will never reach the top of the stone, but the flame of faith has never been extinguished.
Therefore, he can face calmly, face the other three destined opponents, face the doubts of the media and fans, and face the complaints of Kyrgios.
He refused to admit defeat.
but.
Today, he is a little tired.
Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are still the three mountains standing in front of him, and now there is another Gawain. Battle after battle, wave after wave of problems, it seems that there will never be an end in sight.
.
Especially in this game, he has already won it, two times in a row, but...
That kind of bitterness, that kind of loss, was so overwhelming that it swallowed him up in the blink of an eye, leaving no chance at all.
He thought he was mature enough and strong enough, but the cruelty of real life was always one step ahead of him.
"Bah! Andy!"
"Bah! Andy!"
In his ears, there were shouts, and the crispness of high-fives and the heat of cheers blended together, bursting out with incredible energy, pouring down like a torrential rain.
Caught off guard, my vision blurred.
Murray hurriedly wiped his eyes with a towel to hide his embarrassment, then took off the towel and was about to stand up to express his gratitude.
Then, Murray saw Gawain not far away diagonally ahead——
He had already packed up his equipment, but he did not go to the center of the arena to enjoy the victory, nor did he leave first. Instead, he stood patiently and waited.
The young man tied the laces of his shoes together and hung them around his neck. He still wore socks and stepped on the ground. The equipment bag and towel were placed at his feet. He was sweating profusely and flushed. He had no special emotions and was just focused.
And sincerely join in the applause of the audience.
The smile bloomed, and he shouted along with everyone.
"Bah! Andy!"
He looked like a little football fan.
The scene in front of him made Murray's nose feel slightly sour again. Looking at Gawain like this, Murray seemed to have found his courage again.
Indeed, all this is really difficult, really, really, really difficult.
Losing is bitter and unbearable, and you will not become accustomed to it and become numb just because you lose too many times. Losing at any time is a bitter taste that is hard to swallow.
There are more and more challenges in front of us. Not to mention the three old friends, Wawrinka and Gawain have also risen. The impact of the Challenger League and Youth Storm is becoming more and more fierce. ATP seems to have entered an unprecedented golden stage.
In this era, fierce competition can be seen everywhere.
Maybe, he can win a Grand Slam again, maybe not.
Maybe, he can reach the top of the world, maybe not.
However, isn't the reason why he really likes competitive sports just because of these competitions and challenges?
He likes to challenge the impossible, he likes to challenge the limits, and most importantly, he likes tennis and loves this sport with the energy deep in his soul.
He will not give up, nor is he ready to give up——
If you get knocked down, stand up again and wait for the next challenge.
This was the case against three other friends, and the same was true against Gao Wen. Recall that he had lost seven consecutive games against Djokovic, but he still did not lose his fighting spirit. He believed in himself and will continue to believe.
Go down, he knows he can beat Djokovic.
Breathe, take a deep breath.
Murray finally regained his faith and courage. Although it still needed a process and he needed some time to settle and digest, he still believed.
Then, Murray quickly packed up his equipment bag, stood up, applauded the audience to express his gratitude, and turned 360 degrees in a circle to convey his gratitude and tribute.
To the entire audience, and say goodbye to Wimbledon in 2015——
Center Court, see you next year.
Finally, Murray looked at Gawain, who had been waiting patiently beside him, showed a smile and waved.
Gao Wen also put his equipment bag back on his back, stepped forward, and walked towards Murray. The two walked side by side and left the stadium with smiles on their faces.
"Jesus Christ, this loss really came close to destroying me."
"Sorry, I can't feel the same way right now."
"...were you just gloating?"
"Yeah, is it so obvious?"
Through the back-and-forth joking and teasing, it can be clearly noticed that the distance between Murray and Gawain has also narrowed.
Center Court witnessed this scene with their own eyes.
Perhaps, they were also bitter because Gawain defeated Murray; but at this time, they sincerely showed respect.
Because of Gawain's patience, because of Gawain's respect, and because of Gawain's calmness, and of course, most importantly, because of Gawain's fighting spirit and belief.
Looking back at the game at this moment, people really realized what kind of game they had just witnessed.
After facing off against Dimitrov, Gauvin once again teamed up with Murray to provide a wonderful duel, pushing the style of Wimbledon to a new peak this year——
