Match Point: Chapter 539 match draw

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

The air burns and the whole place boils.

When Gao Wen appeared on the training ground, the audience watching outside the barbed wire immediately erupted into unbelievable screams, sweeping past like a mountain roaring and a tsunami. A wave, as if in a trance, you can feel the vibration of the ground.

Gao Wen and Russell walked to the two sides of the field respectively, and first performed simple batting training as a warm-up, and waited for the muscles to completely relax before entering the formal training.

However, Gao Wen's every move can set off the screams of the surrounding audience, even if it's just the action of wrapping the tennis ball with the racket skillfully, the scene is like an active volcano, erupting continuously, and the hot magma will be blown away in a blink of an eye. The audience was flooded, no one could be an exception.

Sampras turned his head and looked at the distorted faces due to excitement, the heart-piercing shouts were overwhelming, and the crazy appearance seemed to be "creating gods", and the mood that had just been relaxed just now sank a little , even more nervous than when he was a professional player himself.

No wonder people keep saying that coaching is the profession with the highest risk of heart disease.

Withdrawing his gaze, Sampras glanced at Pelt, but Pelt was completely unaffected and focused on Gawain's training, as if he was examining Gawain's physical and muscular state, Next, make a plan for physical training.

This concentration stabilized Sampras' mixed emotions a little bit—

As Gao Wen said, there is no need to allocate too much energy to things that have not happened, and the most important thing is to move forward step by step and do a good job in the present.

Training begins.

After winning the US Open, three full weeks later, the first formal training session began.

Feels great.

Gao Wen must admit that after going around for a long time, he returned to the practice field. When his feet stepped on the court ground, he used his toes and soles to feel the rebound force of the ground, and then he ran, chased, and hit the tennis ball with his racket. , looking for the balance of strength and flexibility, sweating out, this taste...so familiar, so comfortable and so wonderful.

He misses moments like this.

Temporarily get rid of distracting thoughts, concentrate on hitting the ball wholeheartedly, slowly regain the feel and state of hitting the ball, slowly find the anticipation and activation of movement, and things become simple again, everything is about tennis and It's just about tennis, where life blooms and blooms.

boom! boom! boom!

The crisp hitting sound is like a symphony.

When Tobias finished handling the matter and appeared on the training ground, the surging crowd on the third and outer floors were still full of energy, screaming and shouting continuously releasing energy, but the batting training of Gawain and Russell had gradually slowed down. On the right track, the quality of the rounds of the two sides can already see the feeling of the official game.

"…How about it?"

Tobias came to Sampras and asked in a low voice.

Sampras shook his head slightly, and replied in a low voice.

"It still doesn't feel right."

During the U.S. Open, Gao Wen slowly entered the state, and he became more and more confident in hitting the ball. He dared to take shots at critical moments, dared to change the line, and dared to challenge the extreme corners; and he was always able to make hits, especially against Kei Nishikori and Djokovic played well in the two games.

But now, at the stage of recovering his touch, Gao Wen needs to leave room for adjustment in his shots. There is a lot of room for distance from the baseline and line changes, otherwise there is a danger of going out of bounds.

Such differences in details are often fatal when facing top players.

Judging from the training match, Gao Wen and Russell's rounds were vigorous, with sufficient strength and speed, and naturally all the fans around were applauding; but in terms of quality, Sampras could tell at a glance that his state It's too far away.

Tobias was not too worried, "Gao Wen also played a little conservatively, which shows that he realizes that his state is not right, so he is also in the adjustment stage."

Sampras nodded affirmatively, this is also the reason they need to train, but now the training time is so tight, and he doesn't know how much success Gawain will be able to recover in the official competition the day after tomorrow, so he doesn't want to get entangled in this matter for the time being, so Then I changed the subject, "Is the sign out?"

"Well, we played against Mayer in the first round." Tobias didn't give a **** and gave the answer directly.

"Which Mayer?"

"Argentina's Leonardo-Mayer."

As an ATP 250-point event, the Imperial City Open has 32 lottery spots, including eight seed spots, and a total of five rounds of competition will be held to determine the final champion.

This year, a total of four wild cards were awarded, belonging to Boyan, Feliciano Lopez, Murray and Gao Wen.

Among them, both Murray and Gao Wen applied for wild cards at the last moment.

Murray showed a good competitive state in Pengcheng. He has reached the finals against Robredo to compete for the championship. Therefore, he temporarily applied for the wild card of the imperial capital, hoping to further improve his state, and then meet the magic capital master who will come next week Game, but I don't know whose wild card he finally replaced.

As for Gao Wen, Tobias inquired about it. He replaced Serbian player Viktor Troicki as a wild card. Last year, Troicki did not accept a blood test after the Monte Carlo Masters. The league's suspension penalty has not been preparing for a comeback until recently.

Although all four players have received wild cards, the treatment is very different, because the positions of all wild card players must abide by the world rankings—

Murray, who was ranked eighth in the world before the US Open, was ranked sixth seed.

Gao Wen, like Bai Yan and f-Lopez, did not have a good world ranking before the US Open, so he didn't have any special treatment, and he was treated as an ordinary player in the draw, and he might encounter a seeded player in the first round.

Although in the latest week of world rankings, Gao Wen became the newest player in the top 20 in the world, temporarily ranked 15th high, but the rules are the rules, he still has to face the same situation as he did before the US Open~www.mtlnovel.com~ , still like a rookie on the tour, lowering his position and challenging his opponents.

This time, Gao Wen's signing luck is still not good, but it's not bad either. At least, compared with Bai Yan and Lopez, Gao Wen is considered lucky:

Bo Yan, the first round against the US Open runner-up Cilic; Lopez, the first round against the third seed Berdych.

Sampras raised his eyebrows slightly, repeated "l-Mayer" carefully, and then nodded slightly, "As a first-round opponent, it is a test for Gao Wen, but from another perspective, It is also helpful for Gao Wen to regain his touch, at least not the kind of player with strong impact."

Tobias shrugged slightly, "At least it's much better than the US Open signing."

Sampras recalled the scene after the results of the first round draw at the US Open, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. His always gloomy mood seemed to brighten up a little.

It is also a wild card, from Flushing to the imperial capital, but I don't know how Gao Wen will perform this time.
