To be able to return to London to join this year's competition.

Moreover, the good show of "Big Four VS Challengers" and the "Youth Storm" of the new generation's all-round rise are all directly related to Raonic. If people expect men's tennis to be more exciting this year, then they It requires the overall rise of more young players.

All kinds, all kinds, people sincerely hope that Raonic can overcome the injury and see him in the grass season.

After releasing the official news, Raonic sent a text message to Gao Wen:

"Grass season, can I make an appointment for a practice session in advance?"

Sure enough, Raonic is still Raonic. Even the text messages are full of politeness, but you can feel between the lines that he has regained his faith.

For injury recovery, there are many, many important things, the most important of which is the belief and determination of the person involved.

Now, Raonic has taken a firm step.

So Gao Wen replied with a message.

"A practice match? No problem. How about we make an appointment for another official match at the All England Club?"

On that side, Raonic needs to struggle with injuries.

Here, Gao Wen and Dimitrov's journey in Monte Carlo is still continuing. Although the two of them stopped in the quarterfinals in both singles and doubles, they made great strides in doubles.

After defeating the top seed Bryan Brothers in the second round, the Gao Wen combination continued to encounter high-ranking seeds, this time it was the fifth seed Spanish combination——

Marcel-Granollers and Marc-Lopez.

Granollers is a strong player of the Spanish Legion, with the highest singles world ranking of nineteen; at the same time, he is also a doubles master, with the highest doubles world ranking once reaching fourth.

In fact, Granollers' record in the field is not brilliant. He broke into the Grand Slam doubles final four times in his career, and all regrettably finished runner-up, which can be called tragic.

Granollers is best known to fans as a game won without a fight—

It happened in the French Open in 2016, and the third round was about to face Nadal, but Nadal had to withdraw before the match because of a serious right wrist injury. Walk Granollers into the fourth round of the French Open.

However, immediately after the fourth round, Granollers lost to Tim in four sets and was unfortunately out. Three fourth rounds of the French Open and one fourth round of the US Open were his best results in the Grand Slam singles.

Marc Lopez is the least famous among the three "Lopez" in Spanish tennis, because he focuses on doubles and is rarely active in singles.

But in fact, in the Spanish Legion, Mark Lopez is almost like a mascot. His sunny and cheerful personality and cute and humorous conversation not only allow him to become friends with everyone, but also in the Davis Cup. In the team competition, it can always become an active atmosphere.

Perhaps, Philip - Lopez played the role of captain, while Mark - Lopez played the team's indispensable lubricant.

In 2014, Mark Lopez partnered with Granollers to advance to the French Open men's doubles final; in 2016, Mark Lopez first partnered with Faye Lopez to reach the top of the French Open, and then partnered with Nadal in the Rio Olympics. Won the men's doubles gold medal.

Later, in 2021, Granollers, born in 1986, was still playing on the field and reached the men's doubles final at Wimbledon; while Mark Lopez, born in 1982, chose to retire and become Nadal's coach The newest member of the team, interestingly, he is only four years older than Nadal.

Currently, Mark Lopez is ranked fifth in the world in doubles, and Granollers is ranked seventh in the world in doubles—in addition, Granollers is still ranked 75th in the world in singles. In this Monte Carlo Masters, two people His partner is the fifth seed.

Compared with the Bryan brothers, the Spanish team is an orthodox clay court expert, and both players are doubles masters with strong strength.

For Gao Wen and Dimitrov, this pair of partners is obviously more difficult to deal with than the Bryan brothers, and the competition is getting more serious every time.

But looking at it from another perspective, the challenge against clay court experts and doubles masters is exactly what Gao Wen and Dimitrov need.

Following the singles match against Ferrer, Gao Wen came to the doubles arena and faced the Spanish clay court master again. This clay court season is in full swing.

The game is really, really hard.

"2:6".

Gao Wen's combination lost a set first.

After entering the second set, the Spanish team still firmly maintained their advantage, continuously put pressure on Gao Wen, and took the lead in grabbing the match point.

At the time of "4:5"~www.mtlnovel.com~ the Gao Wen team had faced the test of six match points successively. Seeing that the Spanish team was about to win the victory, they still relied on their iron will to win the six match points. All the match points were recovered, and after overcoming the predicament, the game was dragged into a balance of power again, and made persistent efforts.

Among them, the third match point.

Gao Wen crossed the audience on the bottom line, galloping like lightning, and in the posture of sliding splits, hit an "outside-in" straight-line winning point that circled around the column, shocking everyone with his skills and surging the audience.

Immediately afterwards, on the fourth match point.

Dimitrov's one-handed backhand volley in front of the net created a barbed backhand ball, destroying Granollers' volley in front of the net. Without quality, Gao Wen found a gap to score with a forehand tap.

These two points can be called the essence of the second set, condensing the 18 martial arts skills of the opponents, making the fans mesmerized, with constant cheers and applause.

"7:5".

In the second set, the Gao Wen team had the last laugh. Their amazing performance of saving six match points back and forth ignited their high spirits. The two young men worked hard to tie the big score with consecutive breaks and saves. Finish.
