Gawain knows the truth, he knows everything, and he has always done this -
He has left himself on the field without reservation, both mentally and physically. This is the highest limit of his current level, but it does not represent the end of his ability. He will still improve and he will still grow.
There will still be breakthroughs and then a comeback next year.
Therefore, there is no regret, no regret, and no sadness. He should hold his head high, straighten his back, and accept the result of the game with dignity.
He has such confidence, faces the results calmly, and sincerely congratulates his opponent.
but.
Why is my mouth still full of bitterness?
Ah, not willing to give in.
Really unwilling.
He is not ready to end the game yet. He still wants to keep fighting, keep fighting, keep burning, and he still wants to continue to compete with Federer.
Last month, at Roland Garros, he lost to Wawrinka in a long-set decider at "8:10" and stopped in the semi-finals.
This time, at Wimbledon, he lost to Federer in a long set at "11:13" and stopped in the semi-finals.
Although everyone says that this is an unparalleled achievement, it is true for any player, including the Big Four. The reason why the Four Big Four can form a top group is because they have consistently output top performance for a long time.
The top four who have repeatedly won the top events.
In other words, the top four are already very, very, very good.
What's more, this is only Gao Wen's first season, the first clay court, the first grass court, the first Roland Garros, the first Wimbledon. As a result, Gao Wen was able to reach such a round.
And such a performance of dedication is a breakthrough from any point of view.
Gawain should be proud.
In fact, Gawain told himself this and believed it.
But.
Why are you still unwilling to give in?
Why.
In just one month, he faced such a narrow defeat twice, and twice faced such a predicament that he struggled to the end but still failed to reverse the situation. In Gao Wen's short career of one year, this is what finally happened.
It is still too difficult and heavy, and my mouth is almost full of bitterness.
The truth is, after all, just the truth, but the human heart is not.
He just needs a little time.
A little bit is enough.
"Bah! Gawain!"
"Bah! Gawain!"
The center court was thundering. From high-fives to shouts, the momentum gradually gathered, and finally a very rare scene at the All England Club appeared.
The entire audience stood up and not only applauded the loser, but also shouted the loser's name.
Sampras also stood up. He tried to shout a few words, but the hot tears kept falling down, so that he could not make a sound at all. He just straightened his back and stared quietly at the people sitting on the grass on the court.
That figure is proud and proud, and his emotions are quietly stirring.
This moment belongs to Federer, but at the same time, it also belongs to Gawain.
Perhaps, Gao Wen lost this game and stopped in the semi-finals for the second consecutive Grand Slam, but this is not all.
Gawain used "two meaningless hours" to prove himself, reinterpreted the competitive spirit with his unparalleled performance and incredible will; and used "two hours of unrelenting fighting to the end" to successfully win Wimbledon.
support.
From Dimitrov to Murray to Federer, including the first round match against Istomin and his first appearance at the All England Club, Gauvin left a mark with his wonderful matches and went down in history on his first appearance.
.
Incredible two weeks!
At this time, Center Court was even willing to temporarily ignore Federer, the unique darling of the All England Club, shouting Gawain's name and applauding thunderously.
"Bah! Gawain!"
The sound and air waves collided fiercely, creating brilliant and dazzling sparks.
Gawain, I heard you.
He raised his head and looked at the noise and excitement of the audience standing up. His empty chest was being refilled bit by bit after it was burned out.
With a long, heavy breath, Gawain took off his sneakers again, then supported the ground with both hands, and stood up shakily——
Feel the softness of the grass with your feet again.
At first, it was just a sudden move. He needed to feel the grass well. From the movement of his footsteps to the feeling of hitting the ball, everything was new and unfamiliar; but Gao Wen himself did not realize that, slowly, this
It has become a habit for Gawain at Wimbledon.
The sense of reality slowly flows into my heart.
In the past two weeks, they have run, fought, and burned here. They have fought, competed, and competed here. They stood at the Center Court in 2015 and looked back at the century-old history of the All England Club, and filled it with their own battles and contests.
Now, it has evolved into the history of tennis.
In fact, when the game is over, they are just a group of ordinary people who only take tennis and competitive sports as their profession. But in fact, history is written by ordinary people. In their ordinary day, ten years later and a hundred years later,
Those deeds will become the cornerstone of defining time and space.
"Do you remember what we had for breakfast on the morning of the 2008 Wimbledon final?"
"Do you still remember the moment at the end of the Wimbledon semi-finals in 2015, when we were shouting Gawain's name like madmen in front of the TV?"
The same is true for Gawain.
Will he be able to still remember the story of his first trip to Wimbledon ten years later?
After twelve full days of competition, the Wimbledon venue was in dilapidated condition——
The bottom line was directly bald, without the cover of the lawn, exposing the yellow sand. From left to right, an oval-shaped oblong submarine looked like it. The closer to the midpoint, the more "spacious" it became, just like a submarine.
It looks like a big belly. No wonder people joke that it is basically red clay.
You can also see a significant change in the color of the lawn in the singles line area, especially the bottom corner of the tee area, which has begun to fade, as if there is no connection between green and yellow. This is in sharp contrast with the green grass in the doubles line area. The change in color seems to
You can see the fierce battle unfold.
No wonder Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam that does not allow warm-up to adapt to the center court before the start——
Lawn is precious, and if you mow it casually, it will become bald.
Through his socks, Gawain could clearly feel the slight sting from the grass. The soles of his feet, which were tired and numb, seemed to have completely adapted to the field. He still wanted to continue fighting, he still wanted to continue competing, and he still wanted to continue fighting.
Not ready to leave, but this is the end.
Not willing to give up, still unwilling to give up, the reluctance, nostalgia and melancholy are surging on the tip of the tongue; however, there is no regret and no regret.
It is precisely because of the fierceness of the game that the bitterness of defeat is more intense; it is also precisely because of the unwillingness to lose that the fighting spirit of the challenge is even higher.
Gawain knew that this was not the point.
Not just today. It also included Melbourne Park and Roland Garros. Regardless of victory or defeat, Gao Wen truly stood in front of the top king and challenged the limit. He saw the gap.
You may win or you may lose, but the differences exist objectively. Different games with the same opponent on the same venue may have completely different results.
He needs to keep fighting, he needs to keep working hard, and he's ready to keep fighting.
After truly seeing the peak, my fighting spirit became even more intense.
