In just one week, Gawain killed Kerbert twice and beat him so hard that he lost his temper. I am afraid that this psychological shadow will haunt Kerbert for a long, long time.
Gawain was completely unaware that a legend about a "dangerous man who destroyed flowers" was spreading in Athens, and it was becoming more and more outrageous and exaggerated.
At this point, the first round of men's singles matches is over.
There is no doubt that UCLA has become the brightest star. All three players of Giron, Gao Wen and McDonald were successfully promoted, once again showing the strong comprehensive strength of the Bruins this season.
After also experiencing a red-hot team competition, the Trojans also had four players participate in the singles competition, but their performance was mediocre in the first round with one win and three losses; while the Bruins continued their strong performance in the team competition, with three wins and one loss.
Killed a mortal enemy in the same city.
Especially on the first day of the game, which was a series of upsets, the Bruins' stability and strength became more and more prominent. In an instant, they stood out as the favorites to win the championship.
According to the draw, Thompson and Gauvin are in the bottom half, while Giron and McDonald are in the top half. Now that Thompson is out, the Bruins still have the theoretical possibility of meeting in the finals to win the championship and runner-up.
So, is it possible for UCLA, which just made history in the team competition, to continue to dominate individual competitions?
With the momentum of winning the national team championship, the Bruins' troika naturally became the "goal" for all players——
Everyone wants a championship! At the same time, everyone also wants to beat the Bruins!
After all, compared to the collective advantage of team competitions, it is often easier to create miracles and upsets in individual competitions, and only one game is needed.
All the attention was focused on the Bruins' troika. The pressure also increased, and it was obvious that the air in Athens seemed to have undergone subtle changes.
On the way to the training ground or restaurant, you can clearly feel that the eyes coming and going are looking at them, revealing a hint of meaning.
Those eyes passed through the air, full of challenging momentum and high fighting spirit. It seems that everyone is looking forward to defeating the Bruins to prove themselves and win their own spotlight on the stage of the United States Championship. The layers of eyes are like
This way it all comes together.
The official website of espn even published an article saying:
After arriving in Athens, UCLA's singles players were always strong. It was not until Thompson's upset loss to Sid that they broke their undefeated streak. This season, the Bruins' collective advantage in the singles field is far ahead of the competition.
The opponent can be said to be outstanding.
So, who can become the second warrior to kill the dragon after Sid?
It's okay if you don't say it, but it will explode when you say it.
The NCAA arena is full of young and energetic teenagers with a strong desire to win and a firm spirit of challenge. Seeing ESPN praising the Bruins in this way, they are naturally gearing up and eager to try. Everyone is eager to become a dragon-slaying superhero.

boom!
Boom boom boom!
Objectively speaking, Macdonald's draw is relatively less dangerous, because the first round is the biggest crisis, and after overcoming the difficulties, the road will be smooth; while Geelong and Gowan's draw is a little tougher, especially Geelong, almost every game
A tough fight and a severe challenge in the second round.
Ryan Sean of the University of Virginia.
During the regular season, the two universities had played against each other before, and they were inseparable - and, according to the historical trajectory, Sean would become the national singles champion the next year. This shows that he already has a strong impact.
And it has great potential to defeat any opponent.
really!
Geelong went through a fierce battle, fought hard for three sets, and finally relied on the advantage of a break of serve in the final set to defeat Sean and advance to the third round in danger.
Gao Wen, on the other hand, faces the challenge of Dane Weber from the University of Oklahoma.
Needless to say, as the semi-final opponents of the team competition, Gao Wen and Webb already know their opponents very well. What's more, Gao Wen came to the fore with the match against the University of Oklahoma. Although they have never played against each other,
No words are needed to feel the spark.
Weber, as the No. 4 singles player at the University of Oklahoma, ranked in the 40s, flew low and was shortlisted for the singles list.
But don’t forget, this is a genius with a powerful style of play. Once he gets up and plays like crazy, he can really hit any magic ball. How can he play a full-power offense? That time in the regular season
During the confrontation, Weber beat Bremer until he lost his temper.
After Kerbert, Gao Wen faced off against a power player for the second consecutive round. He was also a power player, but his style was slightly different. The game was not easy.
After losing in the semifinals of the team competition, Weber didn't even get a chance to play. Once again, he stood in front of the Bruins and got a chance for revenge. How could Weber miss it?
From the very beginning, Weber was particularly active and in good condition. His attack was like a fort with a fiery touch. It needed power, a good landing point, and an angle... The attack covered the whole court and launched a wild bombardment.
No matter how Gao Wen changed his hitting rhythm, Webber was able to raise his hands to attack, playing the tennis style that Kerbert longed to achieve but was never able to complete in the last round.
and!
Every time he scored, Weber would clench his fists and shout to encourage himself, because he knew that he needed to position himself in a low posture to attack Gawain; at the same time, he also knew that he needed to suppress Gawain in the battle of momentum, absolutely.
This dangerous opponent cannot be given any breathing space.
"e-on)!"
Webb continued to roar, showing the style of "Australian Hare" Lleyton Hewitt.
In fact, "come-on", strictly speaking, does not exactly mean "come on". Moreover, tennis is a gentleman's sport, and very few players shout on the court - it is not just about banning swear words.
Making loud noises is often considered impolite behavior.
It was not until after the millennium that the Australian player Hewitt emerged. This player became famous at a young age. Although he lacked a serve or a forehand as a heavy weapon, his defense that covered the whole court earned him the reputation of "Australian Hare"
; At the same time, his tenacious fighting spirit and will to fight are also his hallmarks.
"Come-on" is a slogan that Hewitt has carried forward to constantly encourage and inspire himself to unleash his potential.
At the beginning, many people complained about Hewitt's slogan, but times are progressing, and so is tennis. Gradually, this has evolved into a label for Hewitt, and is becoming more and more widely known.
accept.
Today, Weber showed Hewitt's daring and capable playing style, and his passionate cheering won countless whistles and applause from the audience.
"3:0".
As soon as he came up, Webb broke and kept, and his momentum was like a rainbow, which made Gawain extremely embarrassed. He really hadn't been in such an embarrassing situation for a long time.
