Even Gao Wen and Tim didn't know how all of this happened. From the continuous high pressure in the previous point to the weak volley and the net, to the high pressure in this point, where the absolute initiative was taken, but a casual shot was picked up to complete the fatal counterattack, doubles.
The ever-changing nature of the competition is vividly displayed.
The astonishment and surprise in the eyes bloomed like fireworks, falling lightly on the corners of the mouth, blooming into a smile, and then——
Gawain and Tim smiled and fist-bumped in celebration.
Kubert and Lindsted looked at each other with helpless smiles.
This is the beauty of doubles competition.
After magically breaking Kubert's serve, Gao Wen and Thiem took a "4:2" lead, taking the most solid step towards victory.
In fact, this is also true.
In the next game, Kubert and Lindsted seemed to have lost their energy and had no intention of fighting. The Gawain combination first saved and then broke. In addition to the previous save and then broke, they completed the feat of four consecutive games.
, after the "2:2" draw, rushed to the finish line with great energy, and successfully cashed in on the first match point.
"6:4", "6:2".
The whole game is over.
Gawain, who wrote a legend at the US Open, teamed up with the equally young Thiem to defeat Kubert and Lindstead, who wrote a miracle at the Australian Open, in straight sets in a doubles arena where their opponents were good at.
The score was crisp and clear, and such an incredible result is really exciting to talk about.
Of course, what is more important is the exciting process of the doubles match, which is worthy of discussion.
Just look at the reaction of the audience in Court No. 2. After the game, the excitement and excitement were beyond words, and they enthusiastically discussed the wonderful rounds and unforgettable moments in the game.
In fact, doubles competitions have always received too little attention. People always seem to place all their heroic complexes on the singles arena, and do not give doubles competitions the praise and recognition they deserve.
None of the famous doubles players who have created countless brilliance and achievements in history have received more recognition from the general public. The most typical case is the legendary female star Navratilova, known as the "Female King Kong".
In Navratilova's career, she was ranked No. 1 in the world at the end of the year for eight years. In 1984, she was ranked No. 1 in the world in both singles and doubles. This is a rare singles and doubles all-rounder.
, she has won a total of fifty-nine Grand Slam championship trophies, including eighteen singles championships, thirty-one women's doubles championships, and ten mixed doubles championships.
Of course, when people mention Navratilova, the glorious number of "fifty-nine" Grand Slam championship trophies always attracts people's admiration and admiration, but what really wins her a historical status is still her performance in
With her outstanding performance in the singles arena, this female representative with a tough serve and net style has indeed created an entire era in the singles field.
Until 2000, six years after retiring, the legend announced his return to the professional arena, specializing in doubles, winning three Grand Slam championship trophies again, continuing to write the myth of immortality at the age of forty-six, and completing a
A feat, becoming the third player in history to complete a gift box set——
"Boxed-Set" is the miraculous feat of winning the championship in all four Grand Slam events including singles, doubles, and mixed doubles.
Throughout the century-old history of tennis, only three players have accomplished such a feat, Margaret Court, Doris Hart and Martina Navratilova.
However, Navratilova is the only one in the Open era.
Only then did people truly realize the importance and specialness of the doubles arena.
In 2004, Navratilova won the Wimbledon mixed doubles championship, becoming the oldest Grand Slam champion in history; and just the previous year, in 2003, Bryan-Brother won the French Open.
, won their first Grand Slam championship trophy and started their legendary journey.
Times have ushered in changes.
It is no exaggeration to say that Navratilova brought attention to the doubles scene, while the Bryan brothers raised the doubles game to a whole new level and even redefined the image of tennis doubles in the minds of ordinary viewers.
There is a saying, the excitement of a doubles match is definitely not inferior to that of singles, it shows another form of excitement on another level.
In the past at the NCAA, Gao Wen had experienced the charm of doubles matches at close range many times, but his focus was more on the singles court.
Today, I went on stage to complete the doubles match in person, and the feeling was completely different. I truly appreciated the unique charm of doubles. Not only was it changing rapidly, but the entire court layout, competition methods, and confrontation situations all took on a new look. It was a great introduction to tennis.
Interpretation from different angles.
The smile is fully blooming.
When Gao Wen won the match point with a volley in front of the net, it was more of pure joy and happiness than excitement, and it filled his whole chest. Different from the release of singles victory, doubles victory was more of a kind of joy.
enjoy.
Then, turning around, Gawain looked at Tim. The two raised their fists and fist bumped each other like "ET" touching their fingers. Then they jumped up in perfect coordination and bumped each other's shoulders.
Both laughed heartily.
Obviously, both Gao Wen and Tim couldn't believe it. In just two days of running-in, there were actually only two training matches for doubles training. They were facing this year's Australian Open champion. Neither of them had expectations; but they didn't expect that,
The game process and results brought surprises, everything was an accident.
"You know how we win?"
"No, I thought you had the answer. Aren't you the one in charge of the brains between us?"
"So you're in charge of the muscles?"
Gawain and Tim's back and forth, cheerful banter, a rich and exciting duel is the biggest reward, and victory is an additional reward.
Then, the two people calmed down their celebration mood and stood in front of the net waiting for Kubert and Lindsted. The four of them shook hands to express greetings.
A little unexpectedly, Kubert smiled and congratulated Gawain on the miracle he created in Flushing, "Brother, your performance inspired many people."
Gawain was very surprised. He thought Kubert was just being polite - but why did he say these things in a polite way?
Then Kubert went on.
"Not everyone has the courage and courage to challenge for a Grand Slam championship. Thank you for inspiring us ordinary players and making us believe that there are more possibilities in competitive sports."
Kubot's eyes shone with sincerity, and the confusion behind his words made Gawain feel more emotions. Gawain didn't think clearly for a while, but just responded with a big smile.
"You still have to have dreams, what if they come true?"
One sentence made Kubert laugh happily - failure is undoubtedly bitter; but sometimes, failure is not necessarily the end of the world.
