Match Point: Chapter 1668 swagger
The events of the 1668 swagger in the university days of Match Point were slightly different from expectations.
As Murray said in an interview after the game, Gao Wen won his friendship with his practical actions; at the same time, he also won the support of the local media and the audience.
Although Gowain's knockout of Murray put home hopes of the title on hold once again, the post-match news coverage and social media frenzy did not attack.
In fact, not only was there nothing, but the overwhelming focus on Gao Wen's post-match performance became a phenomenon that swept across the scene.
It can be seen from the news headlines-
"Murray and Gao Wen cherish each other and give each other praises for their opponents!"
"Gao Wen: Murray deserves all my respect and admiration."
"After the game, Gawain gave Murray a standing ovation."
"A peak duel with no losers."
"Salute from rivals, Murray earns respect again at Wimbledon."
"The camaraderie beyond victory and defeat, Murray and Gawain left Center Court side by side."
Bustling!
Buzz!
After careful observation, it is not difficult to find that these headlines have one thing in common:
Ignore the results of the game and quietly shift the focus.
Just judging from the news headlines, there is no way to tell the outcome, and there is no problem with saying it is a draw; the focus is all on the off-court tidbits.
In fact, this is exactly the original intention of the news media, shifting the focus of the general public from the outcome of the outcome, and paying more attention to the fetters of the players, in this way to push the game to a new level, beyond the outcome, to present A purer and more authentic look of competitive sports.
In other words—
Perhaps, Gao Wen defeated Murray, causing Murray to stop in the quarter-finals for the second consecutive year, but unlike Melbourne, the media did not fan the flames.
Not only none, but one or two even praised Gao Wen in different ways!
The whole trend of public opinion is different.
In just half a year, the same story unfolded in a different way.
Of course, there are many, many reasons.
Britain is not Australia, the All England Club is not Melbourne Park, and Murray is not Kyrgios...It cannot be generalized; but looking at the essence through the phenomenon, Gao Wen is also no longer the Gao Wen in Melbourne at the beginning of the year. Behind the writing record is Game after game—
Great, solid, good-looking game.
In the world of competitive sports, everything is so complicated yet so simple, strength is always the best stepping stone, victory and championship are the best business cards, so pure and so strong, behind the intertwined interests and tedious and heavy etiquette, absolute power is always Nothing has changed.
Gao Wen was like this at this time.
"Gao Wen, as the first All England Club player to break into the men's singles semi-finals this year, how do you feel?"
"Here, can I have a cup of coffee?" Gawain folded his hands on his chest, as if he was going to enjoy afternoon tea and watch the other three games.
Hahaha!
The audience roared with laughter.
Everything is as simple as that.
Although Gao Wen and Murray started a strong clash of bayonets, and the whole match took three hours and thirty-five minutes, Gao Wen was still the first player to break into the semi-finals, because at the same time he was on Court One. The other matchup at the start of the game entered a long-term final, and the fight was also inextricably linked.
According to the schedule, the match between Murray and Gao Wen on the central court, and the match between Wawrinka and Gasquet on the first court will start at 1 pm at the same time.
Judging from the pre-match predictions, Murray and Gao Wen are both typical bottom-line players, and both of them are top-notch in stalemate rounds. The offensive and defensive transitions should be throughout. Naturally, this game is a battle between dragons and tigers, and the duration must be extremely long. It's not that easy to end.
Wawrinka and Gasquet are different. Both are typical offensive players, and they both have one-handed backhands. One is heavy and the other is chic. They have different styles but reach the same goal. Very fast, regardless of victory or defeat, it can be decided quickly.
However!
The game has twists and turns.
Facing the new French Open champion Wawrinka, Gasquet, who is generally not optimistic, broke out with incredible combat effectiveness, and the gorgeous attack was vividly displayed. The game was completely entangled, and there was a stalemate between break and reverse break. Not able to pull away.
Gasquet, next set first.
Wawrinka won two sets in a row.
Gasquet, another set.
"6:4", "4:6", "3:6", "6:4".
The first four sets took more than three hours, and the two players had already pushed their abilities to the limit, entangled tightly.
unexpected!
Totally unexpected!
For a long time, Gasquet's mental quality is not strong enough, so he has been repeatedly criticized, especially at critical moments, key scores are often easy to lose the chain, and it is precisely because of this that Huaxia fans gave him a not-so-nice nickname, "Tofu" —
It's a delicious dish, only suitable for cold salad, appetizing snacks, not to satisfy hunger. Can't go to a big scene.
Never thought of it!
Facing Wawrinka, who is feeling hot from clay to grass, Gasquet performed very well, even if he fell behind, he still clinging to the game.
With a big score of "1:2" behind, Gasquet still stood firm and made a fatal break in the tenth game of the fourth set to equalize the big score.
If it weren't for the appeal of Murray and Gao Wen on the central court to keep the audience here, the grand occasion of Court No. 1 would definitely not be inferior.
and!
In the eighth game of the final set, Gasquet took the lead to break serve and took a "5:3" lead. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. com directly entered his own serve to win the game.
This scene was probably something that no one expected before the game.
As a result, things turned around.
At the winning moment, Wawrinka once again showed his big heart, seized Gasquet's short-term fluctuations close to victory, easily broke Gasquet's serve to win the game without going through the test of match point, and after holding the serve strongly, Chasing the score to "5:5", the outcome returned to the same starting line.
Afterwards, the two players kept their serve, and the game entered a long-set tiebreaker.
On that side, the central court was full of chaos.
In this compartment, court number one is chasing each other.
Although the two giants Djokovic and Federer have not yet appeared, the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in 2015 have already sparked wonderful sparks.
then!
The match between Murray and Gao Wen ended first. Gao Wen swaggered into the next round and became the first Wimbledon player to break into the men's singles semi-finals this year. He waited quietly for the other three players to join forces.
Although the rest time is only a few hours, the recovery of physical fitness is very limited; but the relaxation at the mental level is another value.
When Court No. 1 is still fighting close to each other, after all, no one can be sure of the end of the long game. The post-match press conference of Murray and Gao Wen has already started unimpeded. This is something that all the news media did not expect Yes, many journalists were caught off guard.
But this is competitive sports, full of countless possibilities, full of infinite unknowns, these panics and accidents, is it not a kind of romance?
Of course, Gao Wen’s questions at the press conference still included his outlook on the next game:
Federer, or Simon?
Moreover, there is an ultimate challenge hidden here, what if Gao Wen's opponent in the next round is Federer?
