The entire Arthur Ashe Stadium was filled with waves of people, and one wave after another surged around the rectangular stadium.
On the court, thousands of eyes were directed towards Dimitrov. He raised his hands high and patted them gently, expressing his gratitude in this way. He subconsciously lowered his head to hide his embarrassment and vulnerability.
, the slightly red eyes reveal the sadness and bitterness raging in the heart——
A little bit close, after all, a little bit close, after all.
"4:6", "6:4", "6:3", "6:7(8)", "7:5".
At the end of the game, although Dimitrov saved a total of six, he was ultimately unable to stop Djokovic's victory.
Those regrets, those bitterness, those melancholy are stirring in my chest.
But.
He shouldn't be dejected, right?
Different from last year's Wimbledon semi-finals, this time, he always remained calm and focused. In the dark period of his trough, he never gave up and kept fighting. He has left everything he has on the court.
, he shouldn't feel ashamed.
He saw hope and dawn——
Djokovic is not invincible, just as it is impossible for him to achieve perfection, it is equally impossible for Djokovic to achieve perfection.
Last year in this round on this venue, Gauvin defeated Djokovic; this year in the same round on the same venue, he almost did it.
The most important thing is that after going through a long period of troughs and silence, and experiencing ups and downs, he finally found himself in Flushing.
He just needs to try harder and harder.
call.
After taking a long breath, Dimitrov raised his head and held his chest high. Although his eyes were slightly red, the smile on his lips rose——
Even though he lost the game, he was not a loser.
He is not.
Staring at the mighty and turbulent wave of people in front of him, Dimitrov realized for the first time the meaning of Gawain's words:
"I don't regret failure."
Because they have poured all their energy, blood, and souls into the court, because they have touched their limits without reservation, because they felt it so real, so clearly, and so hot in the strong collision.
The weight of life.
He can't wait to return to the training ground and the competition field.
Unprecedented.
Compared with last year's Wimbledon, Dimitrov has undergone a radical change.
Not only the mentality of facing failure, but also the mentality of facing difficulties and falling behind, and also the mentality of facing the competition. After experiencing setbacks and ups and downs, and experiencing troubles on and off the court, this genius of heaven
The pride's mind is slowly undergoing a transformation.
The butterfly effect is indeed changing history. It may not be obvious from the surface, because Dimitrov failed to defeat Djokovic after all, but those invisible parts are changing the men's tennis bit by bit.
Dimitrov finally had his moment.
The growth and transformation of one stage seems simple. It took two years in the previous life, but it took six months this time.
Perhaps, the change has already happened and is unstoppable.
Then, Dimitrov found his players' box in the bustling crowd. It was a little empty due to the absence of the coaching team, but now, because of Sharapova's figure, it became different, and his smile was even brighter.
It shines brightly and is filled with the light of happiness.
The steps are a little reluctant, but the steps forward are no longer heavy.
Facing the front, Dimitrov saw Federer and Gawain already ready at the entrance.
"Wonderful match!" Federer gave Dimitrov a big hug, his eyes full of sincerity.
Turning his head, Dimitrov could see Gawain's smiling face. He didn't say anything, he just extended his right hand.
Dimitrov understood, raised his right hand and patted Gawain's right hand heavily, and then the two friends hugged each other.
Although my mind was turbulent and I had countless words to say, the first sentence that came to my mind was, "Keep fighting."
Dimitrov himself was a little surprised.
But he also admitted that this sentence has always been deeply imprinted in his mind. From before the game to during the game to now after the game, it seems that he can clearly hear the sound of his heart beating. It is not just fighting spirit, but also
There is enthusiasm, passion, and all kinds of emotions burning.
Rather than believing that Gawain can win, it is better to believe that Gawain will continue to fight, continue to struggle, and continue to challenge.
Involuntarily, Dimitrov began to look forward to it.
After a brief encounter, Dimitrov said goodbye and left, trying to avoid disturbing the schedule as much as possible. After all-
"Sorry, it's a little late."
Before leaving, Dimitrov made a half-joking joke, and Federer and Gawain both laughed.
Indeed, it's a bit late.
When Federer and Gauvin appeared on the stage, it was already 9:45 local time in New York. Because the previous match lasted more than four hours, it was already approaching 10:00 when the second semi-final kicked off.
Does this mean that there is a high probability that the game will end at midnight?
This is a test for players, spectators and event organizers.
However, Arthur Ashe Stadium doesn't mind at all.
Roar!
Boom! Boom boom boom!
The scene was greeted with a roar and a tsunami. After waiting and waiting, the final highlight of Super Friday was finally about to appear.
Today is undoubtedly a roller coaster-like day with ups and downs——
From Halep's defeat to Serena Williams' upset, to the battle between Dimitrov and Djokovic, this day seemed extremely long.
Although Dimitrov failed to overthrow Djokovic in the end and continue the feat of Pennetta and Vinci, the excitement was still guaranteed.
Moreover, after the cliff-like diving in the women's singles final, Djokovic took the lead in reaching the final, thus booking the excitement of the men's singles final early.
First of all, Djokovic copied Federer's feat and reached the finals of all four Grand Slams this year. He is worthy of being the current world number one.
Secondly, Djokovic lost to Gauvin in Melbourne, Wawrinka in Paris, and defeated Federer at Wimbledon, but what about New York?
The other semi-final, no matter what the result is, will be a repeat of this year's Grand Slam final, either a revenge battle at Melbourne Park or a rematch at the top of Wimbledon. There is no need to wait for the result of another game.
After coming out, the audience can already start the carnival.
not to mention!
Today's last game itself is undoubtedly the center of attention.
"Gawain VS Federer".
The pinnacle showdown between the second seed and the third seed in the tournament was also the most anticipated and most eye-catching showdown after the draw was released. After an ill-fated two weeks of events, it was finally successfully staged.
Sword Discussing in Huashan, the first act is about to appear.
