A little butterfly, after all, flapped its wings in another parallel time and space and changed history——
Dimitrov grew up, and Sharapova also grew up. Not only did they not break up and start to sink, but they also became stronger and more bonded, reorganizing the context of their careers in their own way. In the face of ups and downs and twists and turns,
Show different mental outlooks.
Slowly, gradually... the butterfly effect is getting rid of Gawain's surroundings, moving towards a deeper and broader world, causing a tsunami.
Dimitrov could sense that the atmosphere was slightly solemn. He smiled again, looked at Gawain, and joked in a relaxed tone.
"She also wants to watch your game, hoping to get some inspiration. How about it, is there still room in your player box?"
Gao Wen showed a troubled expression, "I thought she was planning to stay away from Flushing. My box seat is very precious and is only reserved for superstars. If my net worth is not more than one billion, I won't even take a look."
"Oh, wait, we are discussing Maria Sharapova, look at my memory, welcome, warm welcome, reserve a VIP seat."
Dimitrov was stunned: I didn't expect you to be such a Gawain.
MacDonald tried to control himself. He still wanted to keep a low profile in the training ground where stars gathered. But at this time, looking at the scene in front of him, he still couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter at the first place.
Immediately afterwards, Sampras also laughed out loud, and the atmosphere instantly became relaxed.
McDonald had the illusion that he was back with the Bruins a year ago, and then he realized something, something very simple but also very difficult:
Gawain, Dimitrov, Sharapova, Raonic, etc. are no exception. The road in front of them is full of thorns, mountains of swords, and seas of fire, and is full of difficulties. Because of the nature of competitive sports,
Career life is never easy, and it is the same for everyone.
The experience of becoming a top master, achieving brilliant achievements, and creating miracles is even more unimaginable. It requires not only perseverance, but also courage and courage.
Of course, this is a personal battle, and everyone has their own battlefield. They need to face their own experiences and solve difficulties alone;
But at the same time, this is also a team battle. Behind everyone is his own team and friends. Even if he does not have the funds to hire a coach, just like Jilong, he still has friends and partners who fight side by side. They are all fighting.
Let's encourage each other and help each other.
The NCAA is a preview of the professional arena.
Perhaps, he does not need and should not bear the expectations of "Gawain's halo", but rather proves his name and becomes part of the Bruins' halo.
This is enough.
It was only three weeks, but Macdonald learned more during this period than in the past year, and his smile couldn't help but bloom.
Now, MacDonald seems to finally understand Giron's high morale when he turned to leave, and also seems to finally understand why Sharapova wants to watch Gawain compete.
It turns out that Gawain is the sun.
"Haha", Macdonald's smile fully bloomed, and he felt the energy from the inside out.
US Open, begins——
On the first competition day, the men's first half and women's first half competitions kicked off first.
Although all four Grand Slams are no exception and event arrangements need to take attendance into account, there is no doubt that the US Open is the event with the most resolute implementation.
No player has any privileges in Flushing. Everything is aimed at "attendance, ratings, and box office." This is the only criterion, even the Big Four are no exception. The US Open always likes to focus on topical confrontations.
Showdowns and gimmick showdowns are arranged in the most important stadiums.
It can be easily summed up in one word: traffic.
Of course, the existence of the Big Four itself is traffic, so they can often occupy important venues in important stadiums. However, if there is a more discussed topic, the US Open Organizing Committee will not hesitate to change it.
Even Federer could be squeezed out.
Look at last year, the first round of "Isner VS Gauvin" entered the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Therefore, Gauvin, as a wild card player, directly entered the world's highest-level ATP level event for the first time in his career.
The stadium, this starting point, is indeed the only one for active players.
This year is no exception——
On the first match day, there was a lot of focus, and the schedule of the US Open Organizing Committee also became a major attraction, but the US Open still continued its usual style.
Arthur Ashe Stadium, "Murray VS Kyrgios" and "Nadal VS Coric" are scheduled for two focus matchups, of which Nadal is the main one at night.
Djokovic and Kei Nishikori were unfortunately squeezed into the Louis Armstrong Stadium, but compared with Cilic who was squeezed into the Grandstand Stadium, their court arrangements seemed to have nothing to complain about. They broke through here last year.
Cilic, who reached the finals, received no special treatment at all.
Sure enough, the US Open is still the US Open, go your own way and never pay attention to the eyes of others.
However, one eternal truth in competitive sports is that exciting duels are the way to go.
The top and best matches may not necessarily be good to watch, because they may be one-sided and directly defeated. On the contrary, the close combat between low-ranked players can often burst out incredible sparks in the first week of a Grand Slam.
You can also feel the charm of tennis through close contact.
This year’s U.S. Open also proved this point in person.
Ever since Sharapova announced at the last moment that she regretted withdrawing due to injury, a sense of foreboding began to envelope Flushing, like a thick cloud.
When the event actually started, this ominous premonition became a reality, and this year's Flushing seemed to be under a curse.
Unpopular and popular.
In the women's singles field, six seeded players were eliminated.
The highest ranked seventh seed is Ivanovic. The Serbian lost in three sets to Cibulkova, who returned from injury. Although she returned to the semi-finals of the Grand Slam after seven years at the French Open, Ivanovic seemed to have finally
He found some touch, but was eliminated in the first round of both the Australian Open and the US Open.
There is no doubt that this has been a very, very disappointing season for Ivanovic.
Followed closely is the eighth seed Ka-Pliskova. This young rookie ranks among the top ten in the world for the first time this year and is known as a member of the Youth Storm. However, her performance in the four Grand Slams is hardly impressive.
They all stopped in the first week, and they didn’t even make it to the top 16 of a Grand Slam, which is very bad.
This time at the US Open, facing little-known qualifying players, Ka-Pliskova only had three games and was swept out in less than an hour. She did not have the style of a top ten player in the world.
The last top ten seed to be eliminated was Spaniard Navarro. The tenth seed suffered seven consecutive defeats in all competitions. Since the Birmingham grass court event, it has been difficult to win a single victory in the entire three months, except for the French Open where he stopped in the fourth place.
Outside of three rounds, the other three Grand Slams all ended in the first round.
