Australia, this land has given birth to too many legendary tennis players, from Rod Laver to Margaret Court to Todd Woodbridge and then to Patrick Rafter.
), the dazzling superstar’s name will remain in history, and it is definitely not just the wealth of his ancestors.
And now, they have been tirelessly looking for the next Hewitt, but after a long decade of inactivity, they were finally able to see the glimmer of hope in the younger generation, only to be snuffed out by the same player in the blink of an eye.
That disappointment quickly turned to anger.
How could this be!
It is precisely because of this that the 2015 Australian Open, unintentionally and by chance, once again gathered the attention of all tennis fans across Australia.
swarmed in.
Dusk is getting darker.
Even though it was already seven o'clock in the evening and there were only thirty minutes left before the kickoff of the final, there were still many affectionate fans holding up signs asking for votes at the entrance of Rod Laver Arena.
The faces were filled with expectation and enthusiasm, shining with hope and madness. The blood boiling under the high temperature turned into steam and spread in the air.
No words or even actions are needed, just by being in it, you can deeply feel the surge that your heart is about to burst——
A pure pleasure and enjoyment.
Competitive sports can always make people's blood pumping.
"Viewers, welcome back to the 'Australian Open Show'. We are now at Melbourne Park to bring you the first frontline reports."
"Gawain, we just mentioned Gawain, this kid who appeared out of nowhere like a comet. He obviously played very good tennis for a few months."
"Following the US Open, Gao Wen entered back-to-back Grand Slam finals and tried to challenge the first men's singles player in history to win the second Grand Slam championship trophy back-to-back after winning the first Grand Slam.
Doubtless, this will be another moment to witness history.”
"And this time, he is about to face the world's number one and four-time Melbourne Park champion Djokovic on the final stage."
"Now, let us focus on this game and look forward to it..."
The "Australian Open Show" still accompanies the live broadcast of global signals, leading tennis fans from all over the world to Melbourne Park to watch the Australian Open.
Earlier today, the Mixed Doubles final ended in the matinee, which also means that there is only the last and only game left in the 2015 Australian Open:
Men's singles final.
The big axis is coming soon.
When people discuss this final, what do they think?
The first premise that needs to be confirmed is that it is undeniable that Gawain has proven himself——
One.
He was also able to perform well when he advanced to the Grand Slam final for the first time, with a strong heart protecting him.
Therefore, after moving from the US Open to the Australian Open and changing venues, the lack of experience will no longer be an obstacle for Gao Wen to win the championship.
Second.
Gauvin has defeated Djokovic, more than once.
Once was a perfect game in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam; once was in the finals of the Masters, where he saved five match points and came back to win.
This also means that Gao Wen has the ability to defeat Djokovic, and it is in the final stage of important events.
After paying attention to these premises, what should people pay attention to when discussing this final?
"This is a Grand Slam final, and it's still different after all."
"It's like Nadal at the French Open and Federer at Wimbledon. When they advance to the semifinals and finals, their entire state and momentum are completely different."
"That's the venue they're most familiar with, and it's also the venue they're most dominant in."
"Maybe Gao Wen once defeated Djokovic in the US Open semi-finals, but now in the final at Melbourne Park, Djokovic is a different Djokovic."
"We need to pay attention to this set of data."
"Since 2007, Djokovic has lost seven games in Flushing, three semi-finals and four finals. So far, he has only won the championship once in 2011."
"Since 2008, Djokovic has only lost three games at Melbourne Park, all in the quarter-finals, and won all the other years."
"The horizontal comparison of data proves one thing. This venue is indeed more suitable for Djokovic, and he can always perform at his best."
"Now, Gawain needs to face such an opponent."
Bah bah bah.
Bah bah bah.
You say something to me, but it is basically a mutual cover and confirmation of the same point of view, just like the "Tiki-Taka" passing tactic, lacking confrontation and argument from different points of view——
To put it simply, everyone is optimistic that Djokovic will win again.
One-sided support.
The host quickly noticed that "Ice Princess" Evert obviously had different ideas. He looked on with a cold expression and almost rolled his eyes. He took the opportunity to ask, "Chris, do you have a different opinion?"
Evert is a fast-talking person who speaks bluntly, "I know the Australians don't want Gauvin to win the championship, but is it really okay for you to support Novak so one-sidedly?"
Studio:…
They looked at each other in complete silence.
Evert didn't care at all, "Of course, I agree that Novak is the more favored side, but I think Gao Wen still has a chance."
"Gaowen was able to rise rapidly in just half a year and continue to show progress. I think one of his most valuable qualities is-"
"fighting."
"Same as Rafa."
"Gawain was born for fighting. He is not afraid of difficulties and challenges. On the contrary, these challenges can inspire his fighting spirit."
"I think tonight's final will be very interesting."
"Yes, in terms of probability, Novak has a greater chance, but competitive sports has never been about mathematics. Believe me, I have faced the pressure of probability. Similarly, I have also broken the probability. This is why I like competitive sports.
The reason why I love tennis is to never deny the possibility until the game is over."
There was a crackle, Evert burst into a storm, and then, after a pause, she smiled and showed a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
"If you ask me for my opinion, I am willing to give Gao Wen some trust. Maybe this young man can bring some surprises again?"
Evert slapped the studio guests hard.
There was silence at the scene.
Even the smile on the corner of the host's mouth was a bit unbearable. Although the "Australian Open Show" is broadcast live to the world, the main audience is still from Australia.
Is it really okay for Evert to say this?
Before the final even started, I could already deeply feel the murderous spirit permeating the air of Melbourne Park. Those cheers, shouts, and screams were billowing with smoke. The expectations and tension were rising steadily.
But even Evert had to admit that Djokovic was the more favored side, and this game was very difficult for Gawain.
The brief silence in the live broadcast room immediately highlighted the scene beyond the fish tank-like glass wall behind.
A group of fans waving Serbian flags were dancing and running in circles, shouting "Novak" in the strong wind, dragging a long tail of the crowd roaring past like a train.
The sunset glow on the horizon also burned together.
