Match Point: Chapter 1713 1 step

Latest URL: The clay court season is over.

The grass season, too, is over—

Although Wimbledon has not yet come to an end, for Gao Wen, the grass season has come to an end. The seemingly long three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the curtain has come to an end before he can enjoy it, just like spring in London. Just arrived and turned around and it was over.

Of course, to be precise, such a statement is incorrect.

In the following July, there is also a brief clay window, scattered around the world.

Including Sweden, Croatia, Germany, Switzerland and other countries and regions, different levels of clay court events are held respectively, mainly with 250 point races and 500 point races.

In addition, there is a grass-court race in Newport, the United States, and a hard-court race in Bogota, Colombia. Both events are at the 250-point level.

In other words, after the French Open and Wimbledon, there is still a window period to provide players with clay court and grass court events.

Although all of them are low-level competitions, for professional players, it is a very important adjustment period in the season—

Those players who have achieved good results at Roland Garros and Wimbledon are exhausted physically and mentally. They can use this time to rest and adjust, accumulate energy for the second half of the season, and win valuable breathing time during the intensive schedule.

And those players whose performance is below expectations or regret not achieving satisfactory results, on the one hand, they need these events to earn points and bonuses; on the other hand, they also need these events to adjust their feel and prepare for the upcoming North American hard court season .

In other words, players can freely arrange their schedule for the next July based on their performance in the past two Grand Slam tournaments, and warm up for the second half of the season.

This year, the U.S. Open series will start in Atlanta on July 27, followed by Washington, Montreal, and Cincinnati. The crown jewel will be the U.S. Open in New York on August 31. , pushing the North American summer hard-court season to a climax.

Gao Wen, naturally also in this ranks—

French Open semi-finals, Wimbledon semi-finals.

With such a performance, he is definitely in the first echelon of the ATP, and only Djokovic's strong performance in reaching the finals of two consecutive tournaments is higher than that of Gao Wen.

However, for Gao Wen, the harvest was far more than that.

In fact, since the end of the Australian Open, the frequency of "systems" has dropped significantly. Just as Gao Wen judged, the second upgrade bottleneck is slowly emerging.

Fortunately, the next step is to change the venue and change the channel. Different challenges and different training are undoubtedly the best way to break through the bottleneck. The existence value of the clay court season and grass court season is not only a new track, but also an opening A platform for a whole new world.

—Gao Wen, firmly grasped the opportunity.

On clay and grass, breakthroughs were ushered in respectively, but most importantly, this journey at Wimbledon was extremely precious to Gao Wen.

Getting to the Final Four is quite the feat; the real thing to watch is the path to the Final Four:

Saving the match point to defeat Istomin and Murray is a severe test of will and ability.

Facing Federer saving the match point and pushing the game into the final set is already breaking his own limit. The stalemate and maneuvering in the long-set final victory is an all-round test. In the end, saving the match point in succession and exerting the last bit of energy interprets the other side of tennis. .

Everyone thinks that the clay court is a test, but they did not expect that Gao Wen will usher in the most important and difficult two-week journey of his career on the grass.

Therefore, when the clay court season and the grass court season came to an end one after another, the system attributes really ushered in a bumper harvest—

Even beyond imagination.

At least, as far as Gao Wen himself was concerned, he hadn't expected it.

Including natural growth and system accumulation, the attribute points have increased by 18 points.

in-

Physical attributes, from 92 to 93, the improvement is very limited. Even after two semi-finals, the improvement is still not obvious.

The technical attribute has soared from 91 to 95, a full increase of four points. From the front, we can feel the different improvements of different venue types to the technical characteristics.

In essence, Gao Wen is a player whose skills are stronger than his body. The upper limit has already been determined at the level of talent, and the difficulty of improving is naturally different.

However, in Gao Wen's view, his gains at Wimbledon are still limited.

The main reason is that the grass season is too short, and the competition is over before they have time to fully adapt to the full development. From the beginning to the end of the entire grass court season, he played a total of eight official games, which is simply a gap between the teeth compared with the hard court season.

This point can be deeply felt in the two games against Murray and Federer. At critical moments, Gao Wen's handling is still hard court or even clay court style, but not grass court style. From a technical perspective, Gao Wen Wen failed to give full play to his strengths.

Maybe next year, he should play doubles with Dimitrov and get used to the feeling of grass.

Spirit attribute, from 95 to 97, increased by two points again.

There is no doubt that a big heart and 100% concentration are still the strongest and most tenacious part of Gao Wen in all competitions.

The test of saving match points in multiple games should play an important role. This is also the first time in his career that Gao Wen has saved more than one match point in a Grand Slam to advance. It is said that this Wimbledon is indeed memorable.

Finally, the hidden attribute—

From 78 (4/5) to 81 (0/5), a full three-point increase.

Considering the difficulty of improving hidden attributes, this improvement is undoubtedly a leap forward.

In fact, Gao Wen is considering that all the attribute points accumulated by the system will be superimposed on the hidden attributes.

Especially after experiencing Wimbledon, Gao Wen's experience became more obvious.

The more top matchups, the more critical games, the more important moments, the two sides standing on the field, the real confrontation is the body, the spirit and the technology, but more have surpassed these basic levels, and then risen to a new height.

Such as the current competitive state. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

For example, the super long play index.

What these data show is actually a degree of devotion and a degree of performance. Projected into the game, it may be a point, a round, or a shot, but it can reverse the predicament in terms of momentum, state, situation, etc. , play a role in deciding the outcome.

What's more, there is the most important item among the hidden attributes, the injury avoidance index.

At present, the injury avoidance index is 78, and this sub-item still has not been able to cross the 80-point threshold.

In the next North American summer hard court season, it should be a good idea to put all the accumulated attribute points into hidden attributes.

But I don't know, after being polished on clay and grass, and returning to hard courts again, whether the system improvement will return to the bottleneck or open up a new situation.

A new challenge is in front of us, and it is worth looking forward to.
