Gawain, a man in two lives, has experienced great storms and vicissitudes of life. He has his own extraordinary advantages in terms of mentality and experience.
But on the field, he is still a newcomer after all. Everything starts from scratch, and it takes less than five months to enter the professional field. His experience in the previous life can not help much, because the actual competition he has really experienced is very
It’s limited, but with accumulated experience, you still need to take it one step at a time.
He still has a lot to learn and a lot of room to grow.
Just like today's game.
In fact, at the end of the second set, Djokovic was obviously not concentrating because the entire audience was cheering for Gawain.
After Djokovic sent his serve with a double fault, he actually made a gesture of applause and thanks to the audience, and even gave a thumbs up. The irony was obvious, and it seemed that he was dissatisfied with the provocation of the audience near the baseline.
After provoking him, he couldn't hold back his anger.
However, other spectators at the O2 Arena did not know why. They did not know the "conflict" between Djokovic and the audience in the baseline area. They just saw Djokovic's gesture of provoking the audience, so they booed.
In addition, they were waiting for a wonderful contest, and everyone hoped that Gawain could drag the game into the final set. The atmosphere at the scene was even more one-sided, as if the whole world was on Gawain's side.
Djokovic was very dissatisfied with this, very, very dissatisfied, and kept competing with the audience.
After that, Djokovic lost three more games in a row, including being broken for the second time, and surrendered the second set to Gawain.
The deciding set came as expected.
What Gao Wen really regrets is not the end of the second set, because at this stage, Djokovic's attention was disturbed and he got into a dispute with the audience, but Gao Wen always remained focused and very focused.
He was also very dedicated, seized the opportunity, and successfully won the second set.
The problem came at the beginning of the third set.
After a break between sets, Djokovic had regained his composure and finally ended his entanglement with the audience; while Gao Wen continued his good touch and continued to launch an offensive.
In the first service game of Djokovic's decisive set, Gao Wen got two consecutive break points.
However, this time, Gawain failed to catch it.
Compared with the two confrontations between New York and Paris, the overall performance still lacked a little patience, especially because Djokovic's defense in this game was very difficult, putting huge pressure on Gao Wen on the offensive end, trying to catch it.
He became even more eager for the hard-earned opportunity and was unable to attack for a long time. As a result, Djokovic seized the opportunity to complete a defensive counterattack.
In this game, Gao Wen finally missed a total of four break points, but was still saved by Djokovic.
Of course, after this, Gao Wen was not disturbed by regrets and frustrations, and still maintained a high degree of concentration. The deciding set was still entangled to the end, and he gave a wonderful duel; but in this game, it was a point that there was no break, so Djokovic
Qi's rediscovery of fighting spirit and focus is another point.
If we review the game again, this game is undoubtedly important.
It’s not so much the technical and tactical choices at each point, but rather the handling of the entire situation:
When a giant like Djokovic experiences fluctuations in form or off-court interference, how should he seize the opportunity?
Originally, this was Gawain's strength. It has always been that he accurately interprets the game and seizes opportunities accurately. This has also become the key for Gawain to control the context of the game.
But precisely because of facing Djokovic and defeating Djokovic twice in a row, his mentality inevitably changed subtly. At the same time, Djokovic also changed, and then faced him again.
Unexpected situations in the game will require us to face a completely new situation.
After all, he still lacks such experience.
"So, is this the pattern?"
ah……
Gawain stretched a lot, he thought he could face it calmly, he thought he could handle it maturely, because it had been like this several times before.
But this time it was different. Frustration and loss still surged sparsely in my chest.
Maybe it’s because of facing Djokovic; maybe it’s because if we lose this game, the season is over; maybe it’s because we haven’t fought enough; maybe it’s because we simply don’t like losing; maybe, again
Because of other inexplicable reasons.
Unwilling.
Still unwilling.
Why did the game end?
If he had it to do over again, he would definitely handle it better!
However, the game is over and there is no chance for a comeback.
depressed!
Eee.
The sound of the door opening of the locker room interrupted Gawain's movements and sounds, causing Gawain to freeze in place, wondering whether he should retract his movements.
Wawrinka's face had already appeared in front of him. After noticing Gawain's movements, Wawrinka's steps paused for a moment, and the two looked at each other.
"Hey, Gawain."
Wawrinka rolled his eyes, lowered his gaze, said hello, then pretended not to see anything and walked towards the corner with his head buried in the ground.
The locker rooms in tennis matches are basically shared by all players.
In the locker room, there are lockers that allow players to store their equipment and personal belongings, and there are shower rooms lined up next to them.
All lockers and shower rooms are open for use, and no players enjoy special privileges. On every match day, players arrive at the stadium according to their own schedule, then find a locker they like or are used to, place their belongings, and wait for the game to end.
, you must clean the lockers and leave the locker room.
It is precisely because of this that the locker room is always very noisy in the early stages of the game, but as the game progresses, the locker room gradually becomes deserted.
The match between Gao Wen and Djokovic is scheduled to be played at 2 pm local time in London.
Subsequently, the second men's doubles semi-final will start no earlier than 6 p.m.; while the second men's singles semi-final between Wawrinka and Federer will start no earlier than 8 p.m. local time.
Now, it's just past five o'clock.
Wawrinka arrived in the locker room at this time, which means that he came to prepare for the semi-finals, a little early, but considering that doubles matches tend to progress faster, he still placed the items first within a reasonable time frame, and then
You can head to the gym to start warming up.
Federer should also arrive on the court soon.
Wawrinka always seems to like the lockers in the corner. He only needs to face the locker room to enjoy a little privacy of his own.
It was the same at this time. Gawain glanced at Wawrinka and said hello, "Hey, Stan."
Looking at Wawrinka's back, thinking that Wawrinka should focus on the game and not want to communicate, Gawain was about to pack his things and leave, but unexpectedly, Wawrinka asked a dull question.
"Where are Bob and Mike?"
In the next game, the Bryan brothers are about to appear.
