Ah, not reconciled.

Last month, at Roland Garros, "8:10", lost to Wawrinka in a long game and stopped in the semi-finals.

This time, at Wimbledon, "11:13", lost to Federer in a long-set tiebreaker, and stopped in the semi-finals.

That said, the Final Four, which has been very, very, very good.

What's more, this is only Gawain's first season, the first time on clay, the first time on grass, the first time at Roland Garros, and the first time at Wimbledon. As a result, Gawain was able to come to such a round And dedicating such a performance is a breakthrough from any angle.

But.

Why are you still not reconciled?

Why.

In just one month, he faced such a narrow defeat twice, and twice faced such a predicament that he could not turn the situation around in the end. In Gao Wen's short one-year career, this was finally It's still too difficult and too heavy, and the bitterness in my mouth is almost overflowing.

Reason, after all, is only reason, but the human heart is not.

He just needs a little time.

A little is enough.

"Crack! Gawain!"

"Crack! Gawain!"

At the center court, thunder rolled, from high-fives to shouts, the momentum gradually gathered, and finally there was a very rare scene at the All England Club.

The audience stood up, not only applauding the losers, but also shouting the names of the losers.

Sampras also stood up. He tried to shout a few words, but the hot tears kept falling down, so that he couldn't make a sound at all. He just straightened his waist and watched silently on the court sitting on the grass. That figure was full of pride and pride, and his emotions were stirring quietly.

This moment belonged to Federer, but at the same time, it also belonged to Gao Wen.

Perhaps, Gao Wen lost this game and stopped in the semi-finals for the second consecutive Grand Slam, but this is not the whole story.

Gao Wen proved himself with "meaningless two hours", reinterpreted the competitive spirit with unparalleled performance and incredible will; and successfully won Wimbledon with "two hours of indomitable struggle". support.

From Dimitrov to Murray to Federer, including the first round against Istomin, and his first appearance at the All England Club, Gawain has left a strong mark with his wonderful games, and his debut will be recorded in history .

Unbelievable two weeks!

At this moment, the center court was even willing to temporarily ignore Federer, the only darling of the All England Club, and shouted Gawain's name, and the applause was thunderous.

"Crack! Gawain!"

The sound and the air waves collided fiercely, stirring up dazzling sparks.

Gao Wen, I heard you.

Looking up, I saw the noise and boiling of the audience standing up, and the empty chest after burning out was filled up little by little like this.

Letting out a long and heavy breath, Gawain took off his sneakers again, then propped his hands on the ground, and stood up tremblingly—

Feel the softness of the grass with your feet again.

At first, it was just a whimsical move, he needed to feel the grass well, from the movement of his feet to the feeling of hitting the ball, everything was brand new and unfamiliar; Has evolved into a habit of Gawain at Wimbledon.

A sense of reality, slowly pouring into the heart.

In the past two weeks, they have been running, fighting, and burning here. They have fought, competed, and competed here. They stood on the center court in 2015 and looked back at the century-old history of the All England Club. The present, evolved into the history of tennis.

In fact, when the game is over, they are just a group of ordinary people who take tennis and competitive sports as their profession. But in fact, history is written by ordinary people. In their ordinary day, ten years later, a hundred years later, Those deeds will become the cornerstones that define space and time.

"Do you remember what we had for breakfast the morning of the 2008 Wimbledon final?"

"Do you remember the moment when the Wimbledon semi-finals ended in 2015, we were shouting Gawain's name like crazy in front of the TV?"

The same is true for Gao Wen.

Can he still remember the story of his first trip to Wimbledon ten years later?

After a full twelve days of competition, the Wimbledon field has been dilapidated—

The bottom line is directly bald, without the cover of the lawn, exposing the yellow sand. From left to right, it looks like an oval flat submarine. The closer it is to the midpoint, the more "spacious" it is, just like the submarine. The belly is average, no wonder people ridicule that this is basically clay.

The singles line area can also see obvious changes in the color of the lawn, especially the bottom corner of the teeing area has also begun to fade, as if the green and yellow are not connected, which is in stark contrast to the green grass in the doubles line area. You can see the fierce battle unfolding.

No wonder Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam that does not allow warm-ups on Center Court before kick-off —

The lawn is precious, if you rub it casually, you will be bald.

Through the socks, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Gao Wen could clearly feel the slight tingling from the grass. The soles of his feet seemed to have fully adapted to this field due to fatigue. He still wanted to continue fighting. Wants to keep playing, he's not ready to go, but that's the end of it.

Unreconciled, still unwilling, those reluctance, those nostalgia, those melancholy are rolling on the tip of the tongue; however, there is no regret and no regret.

It is precisely because of the fierce competition that the bitterness of defeat is more turbulent; it is also precisely because of the unwillingness to lose that the fighting spirit of the challenge is more high-spirited.

Gao Wen knew that this was not the point.

Not just today. Including Melbourne Park and Roland Garros, regardless of the outcome, Gao Wen really stood in front of the top kings and challenged the limit, and he saw the gap.

You may win or you may lose, but the gap exists objectively. The same venue, the same opponent, and different games may have completely different results.

He needs to keep fighting, he needs to keep working, he's ready to keep fighting.

After really seeing the peak, the fighting spirit became even more burning.
