incredible!
Incredible!
If two months ago, Gawain jumped out of a crack in the stone and was called the biggest dark horse this year; then this time, Gawain proved himself with an unparalleled performance:
Dark horse? Not anymore.
Winning a Grand Slam is definitely not just luck; the second ATP level championship trophy in his career came from the Masters, and he also defeated Djokovic in the final——
Defeating the world number one for the second time in a row after Flushing, such an amazing and outstanding performance, there is no doubt that he has been able to join the top ranks.
2014 is destined to be an extraordinary year.
At the beginning of the year, Wawrinka defeated Djokovic and Nadal in a row at the Australian Open and unexpectedly won the championship; then, in Monte Carlo in April, he defeated Raonic, Ferrer and Federer three times in a row.
Ranked among the top ten in the world and won the Masters Championship for the first time.
Sound the horn for this year.
At the end of the year, Gao Wen made countless history at the US Open and became the champion; then, he continued his glory in Paris in October, defeating Berdych, Raonic and Djokovic, three of the world's top players.
Ten, won the first Masters championship in his career.
To end the year.
It is so wonderful and magical, it is not only amazing but also exciting. It truly interprets the most beautiful and moving spirit of competitive sports:
Whether you are a veteran like Wawrinka who has been up and down for many years, or a newcomer like Gao Wen, as long as you stand with both feet on the court, everything is possible!
Boom boom boom!
Applause, thunder, and the whole place surged.
The audience at the Accor Arena stood up collectively, and the roaring applause gathered together in such a mighty manner, bursting out with incredible energy.
In order to witness the historical moment, and also for this wonderful showdown.
On the court.
Gawain turned towards the players' box, waved his fist vigorously, the smile in his eyes and mouth bloomed unreservedly, and then he quickly trotted towards the net with brisk steps.
There, Djokovic is already waiting.
He looked a little tired and a little frustrated, but he never interrupted Gawain's celebration and just waited patiently.
"Sorry, Novak."
Gao Wen trotted over, opened his arms, and gave Djokovic a big hug. The sincerity and enthusiasm from the heart seemed to have infected Djokovic, so that Djokovic's tight shoulders also
Relaxed a little.
"Congratulations."
Djokovic patted Gawain gently on the back.
disappointment?
There is no doubt that Djokovic is disappointed. Even after so many years in the professional arena, he can still feel the bitterness and anger every time he faces a defeat. The depression in his chest is always so uncomfortable and tormenting.
And, still in such a way.
Whether it was an offensive error on set point in the second set or a double fault on match point in the third set, this was a painful way to end.
But that doesn't mean he can't accept failure.
As a professional player and winner of seven Grand Slam trophies, Djokovic clearly knows that the so-called mistakes are just a symptom, a microcosm of the performance of both sides in the entire match.
On the one hand, it is because his own condition has not been adjusted to the best.
Especially he was not prepared for a competition of such intensity and level. The previous games this week were too smooth, so when the intensity of the finals increased to a new level, his condition still did not keep up.
On the other hand, the opponent's performance was really outstanding.
"Well played."
Djokovic said sincerely and patted Gawain on the back again.
"Today's performance was indeed wonderful. You fully deserve this victory. Congratulations!"
"Obviously, this championship trophy will not be your end."
Disappointment was quietly buried in his heart. Djokovic showed a smile and sent his blessings to Gawain.
Gawain's smile also bloomed at the corners of his mouth, and he laughed happily.
"Lady Luck kissed my racket tonight."
Gao Wen admitted that even though he was decisive at the match point in the second set, his shots in these scores were more or less blessed by luck.
Otherwise, there would be no deciding set and the game would have been over as early as the second set.
"I think I might need Lady Luck standing behind my dugout next time we meet."
Gawain joked in a joking way, which made Djokovic laugh, and then Gawain continued.
"Thank you! Great game!"
Sincerity, sincerity, enthusiasm, and calmness, Gawain was obviously not trying to be complimentary. It could be seen in his eyes that these words were sincere.
The smile on Djokovic's lips then fell to his eyes, and he patted Gao Wen's shoulder again, "Enjoy the victory, this is the reward you deserve." Then he said nothing more and turned towards his players.
Walk to the rest area.
However, Djokovic still couldn't leave because there would be an awards ceremony later.
Gao Wen was not in a hurry to enjoy his own celebration stage. Instead, he raised his hands in the direction of Djokovic and applauded.
This is the case every time I play against giants. I can always learn a lot. No matter whether I win or lose, this can become an important stop on my growth path.
Now, his mind is a little confused and he can't sort out his thoughts, but when he goes back, he will definitely need to review the entire game with Sampras, and there is still a lot to learn.
Bang bang bang.
Bang bang bang!
The applause gradually gathered together.
The audience in Paris could feel Gawain's sincerity, and the gentlemen and ladies also applauded Djokovic one after another. There were no screams or whistles, only applause.
The sound of thunder in the audience made Djokovic pause for a moment, and then he realized that this was for him. He turned around and saw Gawain applauding at a glance. This made Djokovic
The smile on Vicki's lips rose again.
Djokovic did not refuse, bowed to the surroundings of the court to thank him, and then led the audience to give Gawain even more enthusiastic and crazy applause.
Boom boom boom!
The applause went to a higher level, and a rolling heat wave surrounded Gawain. The continuous reverberation of the entire indoor stadium created a cave effect, and a roar was surging above the ears for a long time.
For this game, for the two opponents, and for this championship!
In the crowd, I don’t know who made the first shout:
"Gawain".
In Paris, a city that advocates chivalry and yearns for romanticism, it is full of fairy tale movie colors, but it is slightly different. At this time, the fans and audiences at the Accor Arena were deeply moved and shocked by the party.
Reveling, and then the shouting continued like this.
Incredibly connected.
"Gawain!"
"Gawain!"
"Gawain!"
The roar evolved into a storm that lasted for a long time.
