Djokovic roared out, like a lion waking up from sleep, roaring to declare his identity as the king of Melbourne Park, showing his kingly demeanor.
boom!
Similarly, Rod Laver Arena has also been released. This may be the most joyful and celebrated moment in the past week.
When did Australian fans like Djokovic so much?
To be precise, what the host audience likes is not Djokovic, but "the best hope of defeating Gawain". This is the essence of the matter.
Like the previous quarter-finals and semi-finals, the local audience always pinned their hopes on Nadal and Murray on the opposite side of the court, but unfortunately, they were unable to complete the host country's game due to various reasons.
Their most pressing wish is now Djokovic's turn.
When Gao Wen defeated Murray and advanced to the finals first, media reporters were waiting for the ultimate showdown of "Big Four VS Challengers".
The host audience also made a calculation. Who is more likely to defeat Gawain?
Djokovic? Or Wawrinka?
For ordinary fans, this is not a difficult answer. Although Wawrinka is the defending champion, the chance of winning is still on Djokovic's side.
Not just because of past combat records, but more of a kind of trust, a kind of sustenance and a kind of belief——
Belief in the Big Four.
The strength built up over ten years, the strength built up through forty Grand Slams, the bond built up through countless victories and championships.
The existence of the "Big Four" itself has a symbolic meaning and even creates strong psychological pressure. Opponents are already timid before they step onto the court. Especially in the Grand Slam arena, they have absolute dominance.
Power, over time, has become a new kind of faith.
Perhaps, the entire professional tennis world is calling for the rise of the new generation, hoping that the younger generation can break through the blockade of the Big Four and become the Grand Slam champion.
Perhaps, neutral fans and fans are also looking forward to this, even Australian fans are no exception. They all have high hopes for the new generation.
But not this year, at least not this year, at least that's not what Australian fans think.
They need the Big Four to continue to be strong.
They need the Big Four to continue to dominate.
They need Djokovic to beat Gawain.
They need moments like this, otherwise...
No.
No no no.
They refuse to think "otherwise" because Djokovic will beat Gauvin, because Djokovic will definitely be able to beat Gauvin.
not to mention!
This is Melbourne Park, Djokovic’s most dominant court. Four of the seven Grand Slam championships so far have come from this venue. Even among the Big Four, Djokovic is well-deserved in Melbourne.
King, who else is more suitable for this task than him?
finally!
Djokovic withstood Wawrinka's powerful counterattack, showed unparalleled strength in the final set, and officially declared the king's appearance.
After waiting and waiting, anticipating and anticipating, the host audience finally received good news after experiencing a long period of suffering and torture.
Then--
Group carnival!
boom!
There was a roar.
Boom boom boom!
Continuously.
Mountain roars and tsunamis shook the earth and resounded through the sky. Djokovic ushered in a long-lost roar on this court, as if the whole world was standing behind him.
This should be the highest level of treatment Djokovic received at Melbourne Park after the epic six-hour Australian Open final in 2012.
Djokovic's blood started to boil as well. He clenched his right hand into a fist and beat his chest hard and hard, feeling the beating of his heart. Finally, he looked up to the sky and screamed, tearing the jersey directly, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.
, unreservedly releasing the emotions suppressed deep inside.
Because Djokovic knows that there are some things that cannot be said, even if he thinks so in his heart, he cannot say them.
At such moments, actions are more powerful than words.
He thought this way and did this. What should be vented has been vented and what should be expressed has been expressed, so——
At the post-match press conference, Djokovic, who had regained his composure and rationality, appeared particularly calm when faced with the bombardment of reporters.
there is always a solution to a problem.
The only exception was that when reporters asked Djokovic about the reason for his emotional outburst after the game, the world No. 1 left something meaningful.
Among them, he first expressed his respect and respect for Wawrinka, and also said that defeating Wawrinka on the same venue is indeed of great significance.
Later, Djokovic also said,
"I know you have always been looking forward to me fighting Gawain again, and the same is true for me."
Immediately afterwards, Djokovic also praised and affirmed Gawain, and expressed his respect for Gawain, but at the end of his words.
"Gawain, I'm here."
Understatement, but sharp, there is too much emotional weight hidden behind the simple words, and the confident smile is even more determined to win.
Journalists are free to interpret it. This is obviously not such a simple sentence, and it truly shows Djokovic's domineering power as the world's number one.
really!
Exploded.
News media, large and small, have gone crazy. Starting from Doha to Melbourne, the powerful showdown brewed step by step has finally taken place.
and!
It actually happened on the stage of a Grand Slam final. Even the unintentional reporters themselves were filled with astonishment and almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.
It’s hard to contain the excitement!
"Djokovic VS Gawain".
This matchup is not only a perfect matchup of "Big Four VS Challengers", but also a powerful collision between the Mesozoic and Cenozoic generations. More importantly, the two players have their own traffic and topics, and various factors are intertwined and collided.
The entire tennis world became noisy——
And it’s not just journalists?
Other fellow players, Hall of Fame legends, people who don’t watch tennis at all, professional athletes from other competitive sports...
On all kinds of social networks, all the attention was focused on, and even the other three giants were asked about their predictions and prospects for this final.
No one can be an exception.
nobody!
The atmosphere is heating up little by little. I am afraid that this year’s Australian Open finals will attract unprecedented attention.
And on the basis of all this, another thing happened.
January 31st, the thirteenth match day, the women’s singles final took the lead.
Serena Williams swept past Sharapova in straight sets, ascended to the top, and won the 19th Grand Slam championship trophy, once again defending her glory and majesty as the "Queen of the Balls" with her actual performance.
The turmoil and chaos that lasted from last year to this year ended with Serena Williams winning the year-end finals and the Australian Open consecutively.
The king is still the king.
At least that is the case until the clay court season arrives.
So, what about men’s singles?
Can Djokovic, who is also No. 1 in the world, continue in the footsteps of Serena Williams and reach the top of the Australian Open after reaching the year-end finals?
And Gawain, as a challenger, can he rewrite the fate of men's tennis?
Discussing swords in Huashan Mountain and decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City!
