Rod Laver Arena, the schedule for the second match day is a bit...unbelievable.
In the men's singles, there is no doubt that the defending champion Wawrinka and the world's number one Djokovic both entered the center court; but all their games were matinees.
Because the night men's event arranged a duel between two unseeded players, "Hewitt VS Zhang Ze".
In the women's singles, two popular superstars, Serena Williams and Wozniacki, were both squeezed out of the center court and entered the Margaret Court Arena amidst stunned exclamations.
Instead, the two games of local hope Stosur and Tomjanovich both entered the center court; and Tomjanovich's game also incredibly entered the night game as the finale of the whole day.
then--
In the two night games on the second match day at Rod Laver Arena, all four players were unseeded players. Such a spectacle is truly amazing.
really!
In Australia, anything is possible. Star status, it seems, is very important for attendance and ratings, but it is just a cloud in front of local players.
Precisely because of this, the characteristics of the Australian Open can also be seen from the side: the home fanaticism and the enthusiastic pursuit of local players by local fans can always ensure box office and ratings, so the tournament organizing committee dares to arrange the schedule so blatantly, and
Still able to gain fans' support.
Then, it is not surprising that the fans are enthusiastic and noisy.
However, it has to be said that thanks to the "magic stroke" of the Australian Open Organizing Committee, thousands of fans witnessed a heart-stirring match at the nightclub.
Hewitt is the youngest singles world number one in the history of men's tennis. He has been number one in the world for two consecutive years and is the winner of two Grand Slam championships.
Although he is thirty-four years old this year, although his world ranking has dropped to 87, and although his career has come to an end, as a local darling and Australia's most shining flag after the millennium, he still won the Rhodes Award.
-Night treatment at Laver Arena.
Zhang Ze, from China, is unknown, a wild card player - and he also qualified for the main draw through the wild card competition in mainland China.
His professional performance is lackluster.
Overall, Hewitt is still the one favored by the "Goddess of Victory".
After the game started, it seemed to be the same.
Hewitt took the first set with a score of "6:3". The strong figure on the court and the impassioned and iconic "Come-On" shouts can still be seen in his youth. The home fans
Even more excited.
But then things changed.
The physical fitness and movement that Hewitt was once most proud of have lost their luster in the face of time, and the decline in the quality of the entire game is visible to the naked eye.
"1:6".
Hewitt lost the second set with a very disparate score and was unable to fight back. Although he regained his strength in the third set and regained his concentration, he gave Zhang Ze a donut, and the score was once again exceeded.
, a solid step towards victory, but this last step is like a chasm.
After entering the fourth set, Hewitt's physical constraints were very obvious, his entire defensive quality dropped off a cliff, and the Scud for which he was famous was also unable to run.
In sharp contrast, Zhang Ze became more and more courageous the more he fought.
Gradually adapting to the atmosphere of Rod Laver Arena, the most important thing is that after being cleared in the third set, I took off my burden and really gave it a try.
Later, the more you fight, the better.
"3:6", "4:6".
On the scoreboard, Hewitt was in front and Zhang Ze was behind. Even at the end of the game, Zhang Ze saved four match points and came back from the dead to reverse the situation.
The one who had the last laugh was Zhang Ze.
Unpopular?
Actually, strictly speaking, it doesn't count, because Hewitt has indeed lost a lot of games in recent years, especially in front of the new generation. His shortcomings of lack of offense and strength have gradually been magnified, and he lost to the young and energetic Zhang Ze.
Not so surprised or stunned.
Accident?
A little bit, no matter what, judging from the world rankings and past records, Zhang Ze is still not favored, and he has never won in a Grand Slam main draw, but in the end, he finished in front of the home audience.
Career breakthrough.
this……
In an instant, the crowd burst into excitement!
A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, flapping its wings occasionally, can cause a tornado in North America two weeks later.
The reason is that the movement of the butterfly flapping its wings causes changes in the air system around it and generates weak airflow, which in turn causes corresponding changes in the surrounding air or other systems, thus creating a chain reaction, eventually leading to a
drastic changes.
This is known as the "butterfly effect".
When Gawain turned out to be born, the parallel time and space of the world entered another new orbit, completely disrupting the pattern, and everything began to become different.
Gawain has always known this clearly. He is the variable, the butterfly flapping its wings. However, he is not afraid or timid. Instead, he faces the changes bravely and is eagerly looking forward to the emergence of the butterfly effect.
Truly change the world of parallel time and space in front of you.
As he said, he is a dreamer, he still believes in dreams and miracles, and believes that dreams can make life different.
His courage, hard work, and battle may be able to inspire more and more dreamers to awaken, and then bravely take a solid step to change their lives with their own practical actions. Little by little changes come together and collide.
, the world will bloom with different colors.
Only in this way can we not waste the chance to win a second life and truly make every moment of our life shine.
At the US Open, Gao Wen encouraged Bellis, hoping that the rising star of tomorrow could get rid of injuries and write a different life trajectory.
Unfortunately, it was not successful.
This time at the Australian Open, Gao Wen also encouraged Zhang Shuai, hoping that Zhang Shuai could break through his inner demons early and win his own moment on the Grand Slam stage.
Unfortunately, I'm a little bit unlucky——
Cornette is indeed difficult to deal with.
Maybe Cornet is not the kind of player with outstanding physical strength. She has never entered the semi-finals in a Grand Slam in her career, but her difficulty is enough to rank among the top three on the tour. This is definitely not what female players hope for.
Opponents encountered in the first round.
I never expected that the storm caused by the butterfly flapping its wings would actually appear in the Chinese men's singles arena, which has always been weak.
Zhang Ze seized his opportunity.
Five hard games!
Save four match points!
Three hours and thirty-three minutes!
Zhang Ze, under the watchful eyes of more than 14,000 home spectators and with the deafening home support, upset the former world No. 1 Hewitt and finally ushered in another zero breakthrough.
After Gao Wen, the second Chinese male player who can win in the main draw of a Grand Slam has appeared!
