On the live broadcast screen on the TV, the show is ending.
Everyone at Rod Laver Arena rallied together and gave polite applause. You could clearly feel the depression and loss of the Australian fans.
Murray and Gao Wen stood in front of the net and hugged each other. They were greeting each other after the game. It was not a simple handshake. The two people were obviously talking.
He glanced at the score in the lower left corner of the TV screen.
"7:6(9)", "6:7(5)", "6:3", "6:0".
The entire match lasted three hours and thirty-seven minutes.
"6:0"......
In the fourth set, in which countless spectators and fans held great hopes, Gawain actually completed the cleanup and swept the entire army. Then, the game lost control and completely derailed, and he won the victory in a whirlwind.
At this moment, people deeply realized that their intuition was correct:
The third game of the fourth set.
That game was truly the turning point of the game.
If Murray successfully holds serve, there is still hope for the fourth set, everything is possible, and the entire momentum and state will be completely different.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
After 13 minutes of hard work, Gao Wen broke serve with a small ball in front of the net that shocked everyone, which also foreshadowed the outcome of the game.
then.
competition is over.
Although Gao Wen lost the first set at Melbourne Park this year, he still won four sets and advanced to the final, waiting for the winner between Djokovic and Wawrinka.
History is written again!
After Murray, he is the second men's singles player in history to win a Grand Slam title for the first time and then reach back-to-back Grand Slam finals.
In 2012, Murray reached the top of the US Open; in 2013, Murray reached the Australian Open final. Although he lost to Djokovic in the final, he also made history.
Since the Open era, no men's singles player has been able to advance to back-to-back Grand Slam finals after winning the Grand Slam championship for the first time in his career. It was not until Murray, a late bloomer, who succeeded in one go that he added a strong mark to history.
Mo Chongbi’s first record.
Just two years later, Gao Wen followed in Murray's footsteps and also made history from the 2014 US Open to the 2015 Australian Open; and he also reached the final by defeating Murray. This victory, this record
The meaning becomes even more special, making people feel uncontrollably excited.
It is precisely because of this that the post-match hug between Murray and Gao Wen has been given a different meaning.
Perhaps Gao Wen can also follow Murray's rise and become the fifth pole besides the four giants in men's tennis?
"Wonderful!"
“A very, very exciting game!”
Murray patted Gawain's shoulder, with a helpless smile on his face.
"Man, you just destroyed me in the second half of the third set and the fourth set. You deserved this win, God, you did a great job."
Be calm and sincere.
Murray's praise made Gawain show a big smile and start joking as well.
"However, you should be able to steal the spotlight on the 'Tennis Channel' by picking the top five shots after the game. I'm ready to enjoy the excitement of the entire network."
"Tennis-TV" is a rising application. It is not a real TV channel, but a live online broadcast.
They have successively signed cooperation agreements with various Masters tournaments to broadcast live matches on their own apps, but they have not yet reached an agreement with the four majors.
However, this does not prevent them from further in-depth reporting on tennis events. During the four Grand Slams, text news, picture news, animated news, emoticons, etc. continued to emerge one after another. They were completely in line with the new generation and are continuing to expand their influence.
, winning more and more supporters.
Among them, the five best shots selected by the "Tennis Channel" and the selection of the entire game have always been highly praised, and even the ATP and WTA officials will repost them.
Murray laughed heartily, "You should at least let me win something, right? Otherwise, I would be so pitiful."
Murray deliberately made a pitiful expression, completely different from his usual stern "zombie" look. Obviously, experiencing such a memorable game was also an unforgettable experience for the players themselves.
Rather than being frustrated, Murray has already ignited his fighting spirit at this time and can't wait to play against Gawain again.
Smile, pause for a moment at the corner of your mouth.
Then, Murray looked at Gawain seriously, "Come on, man! Keep fighting! Win all the way to the end! The world is in front of you."
Simple and straightforward.
And, full of faith.
Murray sincerely believes that Gao Wen has the ability to reach the top again. Let's see how well Gao Wen can perform on the final stage.
But whether facing Djokovic or Wawrinka, Gao Wen has a chance.
Gawain could also deeply feel the weight of Murray's words. He did not continue to joke, but said sincerely, "Thank you."
Words, just stop there.
Murray and Gawain let go of their arms, then shook hands with the referee one after another, and Murray gave up the stage to Gawain.
The audience burst into thunderous applause as Murray was sent away——
After suffering from injuries and struggles, Murray once again showed strong competitiveness at this year's Australian Open, which also means that the Big Four have returned to their positions once again.
Of course, the upsets of Nadal and Federer have more or less affected the impact of injuries, and the dominance of the Big Four should have been somewhat loosened; but it is undeniable that Murray's rejuvenation has added new energy to men's professional tennis.
A splash of color and this year's season should be interesting.
What's more, Murray grabbed a set from Gawain, which once ignited the hope of Australian fans. Although he fell short in the end, it was enough.
For local fans, they believe that if Murray can do it, then Djokovic or Wawrinka can also do it, and they can go further.
Hope has not been extinguished.
To be precise, Murray really lit the dawn.
Although Gawain is in excellent form this year, strictly speaking, Gawain's performance is persuasive but not dominant:
The first four rounds against local Australian players were all unseeded players; the subsequent performance of defeating the two giants was indeed impressive. However, Nadal had just returned from injury, and Murray was slowly improving and was far from his best.
This also means that the gap shown in the scores is not as big as imagined.
In the final stage, whether it is Djokovic or Wawrinka, they are still the more favored side.
This semi-final made the local fans feel a little more settled, their confidence was rekindled, and they were full of expectations for the final.
Then Gawain returned to the court.
Stand in the center of Rod Laver Arena, wave and enjoy your victory.
There was only applause, no cheers.
The Australian fans still stubbornly refused to show respect. Only a few applauded and were impressed by Gao Wen's performance on the court. However, most people still could not "forgive" Gao Wen. They had turned their backs to the court and left the court one after another.
, just ignore Gawain.
However, it doesn't matter.
Neutral fans, Chinese fans, and even a few British fans shouted and celebrated and reveled at the top of their lungs. Tonight was like a wonderful party. They were living in a rose-colored dream. Such a wonderful game.
It vividly explains the charm of competitive sports.
Gawain won their respect and admiration with his practical actions.
