Why is the US Open Organizing Committee so bold and crazy, abandoning the focus of "Halep VS Azarenka" and arranging two men's singles matches at night?
Because they have such confidence.
Whether it is the "Youth Storm VS Challenger League 2.0" between Gao Wen and Gasquet, or the "Swiss Derby" between Federer and Wawrinka, this is the absolute focus that deserves it, from the media to the audience, from fans to passers-by, social media
The focus on the Internet has already been laid out in an all-round way.
Facts also prove that the boldness of the event organizing committee has paid off——
The attendance rate is 100%.
Tickets for the night show have already been sold out.
On the black market, there is even more market value. Despite this, a large number of fans still arrived in Flushing. While the matinee game was still going on, they had already held up signs asking for votes, hoping to miss them. Even if there were no
It doesn't matter if you succeed, just keep watching the game from the outside.
National carnival.
Gawain, who plays "half of the home court", and Federer, who plays the "global home court", are two powerful box-office appeals and can easily ignite the enthusiasm for watching the game.
This is also the first time since the start of this year's US Open that all tickets for a night event have been sold out.
After all, no one wants to miss the quarterfinals.
As for the first or second game, there is nothing wrong with the arrangement of the tournament organizing committee. The Swiss Derby will undoubtedly become the last major game of the day, and Gao Wen and Gasquet will appear as the finale, slowly opening the first game.
At the beginning of ten matchday nights, Arthur Ashe Stadium was in a hustle and bustle.
When people discuss this duel, there is no doubt that Gawain is the more optimistic side. It has completely reversed the previous decline in Gawain being generally criticized. Entering the critical moment of the Grand Slam, Gawain's game temperament
Clearly becoming a favored side among professionals and fans alike.
But the point is, in competitive sports, anything is possible.
Moreover, this year's US Open is full of weird things. Unbelievable situations abound, and that kind of inexplicable and weird aura still lingers.
So, does Gasquet have a chance?
Of course! Without a doubt!
On Gao Wen's side, although it can be seen from the last game against Agut that the injury has no impact, it still exists objectively after all; in addition, in Flushing this year, Gao Wen has not faced any of the top 20 players in the world.
Players, the intensity of confrontation is far lower than expected.
From a long absence from the game to an unexpected injury, can Gao Wen improve his condition when he collides with the top 20 and top 10 players in the world?
This is a question mark.
On Gasquet's side, although the historical record and past experience are not on his side, and the problem of losing the chain at critical moments is already a stubborn problem, the outbreak of the 2015 season is a transformation that is obvious to all. He is ushering in the best season of his career.
The most successful and glorious season.
At the beginning of the year, Gasquet won his twelfth championship in Portugal and became one of the top ten active players in the ATP Tour finals.
Although Melbourne's loss to Anderson in the third round was disappointing, his subsequent performance in the Roland Garros semi-finals and Wimbledon semi-finals was eye-catching, losing to Djoko in both Grand Slams.
Vicky, the world ranking has reached thirteenth, and is infinitely close to re-entering the top ten.
In terms of pure Grand Slam record, Gasquet has ushered in the best performance of his career as he advanced to the quarterfinals in Flushing.
In the North American summer season, like Federer, he chose to withdraw from the Rogers Cup due to minor injuries, but then also broke into the quarterfinals in Cincinnati.
The stability and consistency of the overall performance have significantly improved compared to the past. When Berdych, Ferrer, Cilic and other challenger leagues fell into troughs due to injuries, Gasquet seized the opportunity.
The opportunity to improve his condition and level has become one of the highlights of this season.
Gasquet is ready.
The two players are adding and subtracting, going back and forth, and the chips on both sides of the balance of victory are slightly closer. In the end, it all depends on on-the-spot performance.
This quarter-finals battle is worth looking forward to——
The winner will face the winner of Federer and Wawrinka in the next game. No matter who the opponent is, this means that the state needs to be further improved.
It is conceivable that the test of this quarterfinal match will be the best platform to polish one's own condition, improve one's own level and test one's own level.
This is especially true for Gawain. Step by step, his opponents are stronger and better than the last. Can he keep up with his adjustments?
Under the spotlight, Gasquet and Gauvin appeared one after another, and Arthur Ashe Stadium welcomed them with overwhelming applause and cheers.
Rolling heat waves erupted and burned under the peacock blue New York sky.
——The two players lived up to expectations.
"1:1".
"2:2".
"3:3".
The opening stage was not only steady, but also strong. Both players started the game according to their own pre-match plans, and no one was able to widen the gap.
Since the grass-court season, Gasquet's most outstanding performance has been his smooth attack.
Although Gasquet is not a violent player like the Hulk, his offense is like a six-vein sword. It is not only free and easy, but also full of power. It relies on the combined impact of rhythm, speed, tail power and ball quality.
It's neat, pleasing to the eye, and has excellent continuity, like waves, layer upon layer, continuous.
Especially the backhand.
Like Federer and Dimitrov, the one-handed backhand is of the same school. The entire stretch, connection, control, and swing of the swing is definitely a visual enjoyment.
On his backhand, Gasquet was often able to hit incredible shots, which were sudden, unexpected, neat, sharp, and clean, overturning the situation in one fell swoop.
Therefore, against Gasquet, choosing to suppress the backhand is the correct tactic, but if the suppression cannot be maintained continuously, or the quality of the ball drops, or the tactical intention is too obvious, Gasquet has the ability to counterattack with one shot
The ability is the same when facing the Big Four.
Judging from the opening, Gasquet is indeed at the peak of his confidence now. The entire shot is very clear and crisp. Backed by confidence, there is no hesitation or hesitation in the shot. The feel and condition are really hot. His flowing offense remains absolutely strong, and Gao Wenzheng
Not afraid of being attacked.
In fact, after guessing the coin in the opening game, Gasquet chose to serve first, showing his confidence——
Facing Gawain, Gasquet is fully prepared, not only to face difficulties, but also to win.
Low-key and tough.
So, what about Gawain?
In fact, if professionals observe carefully, they can notice that Gao Wen also made targeted adjustments for this game.
Different from any of the previous four rounds, Gao Wen showed his aggressiveness and took the initiative in the first game of this game.
In other words, Gawain and Gasquet faced each other head-on, with both players trying to compete for the right to attack in a powerful collision.
This kind of Gao Wen has definitely never been seen before at this year's US Open.
