The vast, overwhelming, silver waterfall formed by the flashing lights came out. The entire Arthur Ashe Stadium was like a barrel-shaped wave on the north shore of Oahu, surrounded by clear and turbulent waves. There was a roar above the eardrums.
The whole world also shook violently.
No one wants to miss this scene, no one——
After seven years, the men's singles champion finally successfully defended his title!
Moreover, it is actually the dark horse that emerged last year!
What a legendary and amazing story, just like when Nadal set foot on the Roland Garros court for the first time, and then started a myth.
For a long time, what Djokovic is to the Australian Open, Nadal is to the French Open, and Federer is to Wimbledon, this is an iconic existence, but the US Open has always lacked such a legend.
In the past, Sampras and Connors, and later Federer, both tied for the top spot in history with five championships. However, since Federer last climbed to the top of Arthur Ashe Stadium in 2008, things have been different. As an annual
The variables and surprises of the last Grand Slam changed the landscape.
Maybe, all of this is finally about to change?
Gawain, this super star who jumped out of the cracks in the stone, truly interpreted his tennis philosophy and playing style at Arthur Ashe Stadium, and used his own colors to give this stadium a new meaning, just like it did completely back then.
Like Arthur Ashe who changed the history of tennis.
History is such a coincidence and so magical. From Arthur Ashe to Gawain, two outsiders broke the pattern of the tennis world and wrote brilliant stories.
It is precisely because of this that the applause and cheers at the scene became even more crazy, including media reporters.
Noisy and hot waves surged in from all directions, surrounding Gawain.
He thought he had calmed down and regained his sense. He thought he could control the audience with humor. After all, this was the third time.
However……
When I stood at the front, looking at the gorgeous scene in front of me, my mind was surging, all the words were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't make a sound.
Emotion.
The Arthur Ashe Stadium felt the surge of Gawain's emotions. Applause rang out again, and the thunderous surge rolled in from all directions again. At the same time, accompanied by whistles and cheers, one after another screams became the embellishment. The stadium in the night
It also became more colorful.
Gradually, the cheers slowed down, and just when Gawain was about to speak, an earth-shattering scream shook the entire stadium.
"Gawain, marry me, ah ah! ah ah!"
boom.
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Even Djokovic couldn't hold back his laughter.
The corners of Gawain's mouth raised and he looked towards the source of the sound, "Now?"
A response, full of ridicule and joking, made the laughter rise to a higher level in an instant, and the atmosphere at the scene transitioned from touching to a party.
Gawain finally regained his sense and let out a breath.
"Sorry, please forgive me for embarrassing myself again."
"Again" subtly alludes to this moment last year, indicating the success of his title defense. It is full of witty self-deprecation and easily ignites laughter.
"Me, the picture I imagined in my mind is not like this. I should be talking and laughing, I should be graceful, I feel like I should be hosting the Oscars and fill the scene with laughter, but obviously, I don't know myself at all.
"
Hahaha!
"Fortunately, I still know a little bit about tennis."
Hahahahaha!
Laughing like thunder.
The first half was already good enough, but I didn't expect that there would be half a foreshadowing at the end. The scene went crazy and the whistle sounded again.
"This journey is really, really long. I dare not look towards the end, lest I see the end and realize how long and difficult the journey is. I will be discouraged before I can persist and have no courage to continue. But
In the end, I persisted and reached the finish line.”
"Ah, it's really too long."
With a sigh, it was rare to see that Gawain did not hide those setbacks and tribulations, and faced them calmly, which once again made many fans red-eyed.
Gu Xiao lowered his head in embarrassment and wiped his eyes. He thought of that day in Toronto.
Then, Gu Xiao noticed Qiao Wangsheng's gaze.
Qiao Wangsheng's eyes were also filled with tears, but he did not wipe them away. Instead, he raised his head and chest with a smile on his face. His firm eyes were the best response.
They don't need to hide their fragility and embarrassment, nor their frustration and bitterness. Only by facing it openly can they achieve a head-on breakthrough.
In my ears, Gawain's voice came.
"But we finally arrived, together."
Gu Xiao's nose was sore again, but this time, he did not lower his head or cover up, but looked towards the stadium, towards the figure in the center——
Gawain knew, he knew everything, and they were walking side by side on this journey.
"Here I need to congratulate Novak."
"You completed an incredible game. We worked hard together, drove each other crazy and ignited each other's fighting spirit. You are a fighter, and it is my honor to be able to complete this game with you. I
I don’t think there are losers in this position today.”
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang.
Thunderous applause.
"During the competition, I thought more than once that I might not be able to hold on anymore; and more than once I thought that maybe the result had already been determined."
"I try to tell myself, hey, young man, you have tried your best. Even if today is not yours, there is always another chance."
"But I don't want to."
"I don't want the next chance, I need to focus on the present. I told myself that the moment I give up, the game is over. I want to fight with Novak until the end. Regardless of winning or losing, I just want to leave everything behind.
On the field, and then face all possible results calmly."
"I tried hard, I really tried hard..."
They are not heroic words, nor are they impassioned, but such words are so real and so moving. The Gawain displayed in front of you is no longer just a slogan——
Fight?
certainly.
But Gawain will also be weak, fearful, and hesitant. There will be times when he wants to give up, and times when he will be defeated. The phrase "keep fighting" is far from simple. It is just a slogan to bystanders.
, but for players, they need to burn their lives and souls to fight.
It is precisely because of this that all this is so incredible. Gawain finally did it.
"Believe me, if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't be able to hold on."
A joke that instantly burst into laughter at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"I guess it's better not to do it again. I believe Novak is not willing to do it again."
Haha, the laughter couldn't stop at all, and Djokovic couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth again.
"so."
"When something is happening, it is better to seize the opportunity, persist, and persist again."
"I persist, not because I believe that I can succeed, but because I believe that I don't want to regret it. At this moment, everyone who is witnessing dreams, I am waiting here, waiting for you to continue to fight in your own way.
