Match Point: Chapter 1666 Bitter
Murray believes that he has been able to face it calmly.
Some media once asked such a question:
Why do the other three giants have a very close relationship with Murray, not only often invite Murray to train, but also often communicate in private; but there is no such bond between the other three giants, more or less just maintain a kind of peace , but did not go further at the personal level?
To this, Murray replied self-deprecatingly, "Maybe because all three of them beat me so often."
Murray knew about the combat records and the voices of doubt, he knew all of them.
Murray's career has never been easy—
At the age of sixteen, he was diagnosed with a congenital bipartite patella.
That is to say, most people's kneecap is formed by the ossification of a single piece of cartilage; but in rare cases, such as Murray, the kneecap is composed of two bones held together by only fibrous tissue.
For ordinary people, they will never find such problems in their lifetime, but professional players are different. During high-intensity sports, the symptoms of knees may be very obvious, not only obvious soreness, but also easy to be injured.
Unfortunately, it is congenital and there is no cure.
Therefore, more than one expert and more than one coach told Murray that he is not suitable for competitive sports.
Including Murray's grandmother, she never expected Murray to achieve the current results.
However, Murray did not give up and did not disarm.
He is fighting, he is fighting, he is working hard, running all the way, he believes in himself and is willing to pay 200% of his sweat and blood.
Therefore, in different age groups, Murray has achieved great success and has become the best player in his age group. He believes that he can continue to work hard and continue to sprint. He believes that he can become a Grand Slam champion. No. 1 in the world, unwaveringly.
A belief has always supported Murray.
Even in the face of the other Big Three, the record is not on his side, he never gave up, was never discouraged or discouraged, but worked hard again and again in his own way.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, he is Sisyphus pushing a rock that will never climb to the top, but the flame of faith has never been extinguished.
Therefore, he was able to face it calmly, facing the other three fateful opponents, facing the doubts of the media and fans, and facing the complaints of Kyrgios.
He refused to admit defeat.
but.
Today, he is a little tired.
Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are still the three mountains standing in front of him, and now there is another Gawain, one battle after another, waves of problems, it seems that there will never be an end .
Especially in this game, he has already got the match point, and it is two consecutive times, but...
That kind of bitterness, that kind of loss, overwhelming, devoured him in a blink of an eye, leaving no chance at all.
He thought he was mature enough and strong enough, but the cruelty of real life was always one step ahead of him.
"Crack! Andy!"
"Crack! Andy!"
Shouts came from beside the ears, and the crispness of high fives and the heat of cheers blended together, bursting out incredible energy, pouring down like a torrential rain.
Suddenly, his vision blurred.
Murray hurriedly wiped his eyes with a towel to hide his embarrassment, then took off the towel, and was about to stand up to express his thanks.
Then, Murray saw Gawain not far from obliquely ahead—
He had already packed his equipment, but he didn't go to the center of the arena to enjoy the victory, nor did he leave first, but stood aside patiently and waited.
The young man tied the laces of his shoes together and hung them around his neck. He was still wearing socks and stepped on the ground. The equipment bag and towel were placed at his feet. He was sweating profusely and his face was flushed. He had no special emotions, just focused And sincerely joined the applause of the audience.
Smiling, blooming, he also shouted along with everyone.
"Crack! Andy!"
That looks like a little football fan.
The scene in front of him made Murray's nose slightly sour again. Looking at Gao Wen like this, Murray seemed to have found his courage again.
Yes, it's all really hard, really really really really hard.
Losing is bitter and unbearable, and you will not get used to it and become numb just because you lose a lot. Losing at any time is bitter and hard to swallow.
There are more and more challenges lying in front of us, not to mention the three old friends, Wawrinka and Gawain have also risen, the impact of the Challenger Alliance and Youth Storm is becoming more and more violent, ATP seems to be entering unprecedented gold In this era, fierce competition can be seen everywhere.
Maybe, he can win a Grand Slam again, maybe not.
Maybe, he can reach the top of the world, maybe not.
However, the reason why he really likes competitive sports is not because of these competitions and these challenges?
He likes to challenge the impossible, he likes to challenge the limit, most importantly, he likes tennis, and loves this sport with the energy deep in his soul.
He won't give up, and he's not about to give up—
If you get knocked down, get back up and wait for the next challenge.
It was the same against the other three friends, it was the same against Gawain, and looking back, he lost seven games in a row against Djokovic, but he still hasn't lost his fighting spirit, he believes in himself and will continue to believe Going down, he knows he can beat Djokovic.
Breathe, take a deep breath.
Murray finally regained his faith and courage a little bit. Although it still needs a process, he needs a little time to settle and digest, but he still believes.
Then, Murray packed his equipment bag quickly, stood up, applauded the audience, expressed his gratitude, and turned 360 degrees on the spot to convey his gratitude and tribute To the audience, and farewell to Wimbledon 2015 —
Center Court, see you next year.
Finally, Murray looked at Gao Wen who had been waiting patiently, showed a smile, and waved.
Gao Wen also put his equipment bag back on his back, walked towards Murray, the two walked side by side, and left the court with smiles on their faces.
"Jesus Christ, this loss really nearly destroyed me."
"Sorry, I can't empathize right now."
"...were you gloating just now?"
"Yeah, is it so obvious?"
From the back and forth jokes and ridicules, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can clearly notice that the distance between Murray and Gao Wen has also narrowed.
Center Court witnessed this scene firsthand.
Perhaps, they were also full of bitterness, because Gao Wen defeated Murray; but at this time, they sincerely expressed their respect.
Because of Gao Wen's patience, because of Gao Wen's respect, because of Gao Wen's calmness, of course, most importantly, because of Gao Wen's fighting spirit and belief.
Looking back at the game at this moment, people really realized what kind of game they just witnessed.
After the match against Dimitrov, Gao Wen teamed up with Murray again to present a wonderful duel, pushing the style of this year's Wimbledon to a new peak—
"4:6", "6:4", "4:6", "7:6(3, "6:3".
Victory belongs to Gao Wen.
