Match Point: Chapter 857 heat wave

Chapter 858

The wind is blowing, the heat wave is rolling, and the mountain and rain are about to come.

Only by truly witnessing with your eyes and feeling with your body can you fully experience the madness of Melbourne Park, which is a sight that professionals have never seen.

To be precise, even the Australian Open Organizing Committee did not expect this scene a week ago. "The right time, place and people" are indispensable, and a little bit of luck is needed.

call.

Zhang Sheng exhaled a long puff of smoke, and the smoke was lingering, making the golden sun slowly smudge, and the gorgeous colors in front of his eyes were like different oil paints dripping into clear water:

Dense, diffuse, twine.

The whole world is shining brightly.

Then, Zhang Sheng shook his head.

"I haven't seen it myself."

"It should be comparable to the men's singles final in 2012, but it may not be as lively. Without personal experience, there is no comparison after all."

"It was Tong Kexin and Xu Yang who came to commentate on the spot that year, and it was because of that year that Tong Kexin got the nickname 'Djokovic Lucky Star'. As long as she commented on the game, Xiaode They all won in the end."

Thinking about it seriously, last year’s year-end finals, CCTV was narrated by Tong Kexin. In the end, Djokovic not only successfully avenged Gao Wen, but also won the championship because Federer withdrew before the start of the final without fighting.

From this point of view, Tong Kexin is indeed Djokovic's lucky star.

Yujia's thoughts were also led away, "Then this year, if Djokovic enters the final, his domestic fans will be disappointed."

Zhang Sheng shrugged, "It's not my fault that Lady Luck didn't come. What's more, the second week has just started, and Xiaode hasn't made it to the final yet."

Yujia couldn't help laughing, and then changed the subject, "I thought I could enter the Rod Laver Stadium in today's game, but Gao Wen hasn't entered the Rod Laver Stadium once so far, so he can't go to the Rod Laver Stadium. It's really..."

It's hard to say.

Especially the match between Hewitt and Zhang Ze entered the Rod Laver Stadium, but now the match between Gao Wen and Kyrgios can't enter?

Zhang Sheng was not surprised, "There is no way, the Big Three are all in the lower half, not to mention Gao Wen, even the treatment of local Australian players will be affected."

"Let's be objective. Gao Wen is the eighth seed, but the time to enter the profession is still too short, and the foundation is not enough. It is the same level as Berdych and Kei Nishikori. They have not entered Rhodes so far. Laver Field, we are the same, it makes sense."

"Today's game, the organizing committee should have thought about entering the Rod Laver Stadium, but firstly, the match between Nadal and Murray is also a focus match; secondly, the heat of this game is a bit too high now , the organizing committee should also be worried about accidents, so they did not arrange the Hisense Stadium, but the Margaret Court Stadium.”

After all, Margaret Court Stadium can only hold 7,500 people.

This is the smallest venue among the three stadiums, which also means that fans can enjoy the game from a closer distance and cheer for the players.

"An accident?" Yujia was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said, "No way..."

In any case, tennis is a gentleman's sport. The etiquette has lasted for many years, and the quality of the fans has been more recognized. How could something happen?

Zhang Sheng, however, was calm and unrestrained, "Do you think only the Premier League has hooligans? Melbourne Park fans have made trouble more than once."

"Australia is also the Commonwealth, okay? So the security expenditure of the organizing committee is increasing every year."

"But Kyrgios is a person who is afraid of chaos. If the fans don't make trouble, he may not be satisfied. If he incites the fans to make trouble together at the scene, it is not surprising at all."

No wonder.

Yujia realized that he was still inexperienced. No wonder Kyrgios, who played solo at home, did not get the treatment of the night game on the center court.

"It is estimated that the organizing committee is also worried that Kyrgios will not hesitate to cross the line?" Yujia sighed.

On the seventh day of the competition, the singles competition has entered the round of 16, which also means that the number of matches has been greatly reduced—

Therefore, the Margaret Court Stadium also canceled the night game, and officially entered the second week of the game at the Rod Laver Stadium to focus on all eyes.

It is precisely because of this that the schedule is even more particular.

The four top 16 matchups in the second half of the men's singles are the first to debut:

"Nadal vs. Anderson," Rod Laver Stadium, matinee.

"Murray VS Dimitrov", Rod Laver Stadium, night game.

"Gowan vs. Kyrgios," Margaret Court Stadium.

"Sepi VS Karlovic", Hisense Stadium.

It is clear at a glance.

In the two matchups at Rod Laver Stadium, there were no upsets, and the two players with the highest seed rankings in each eighth small division successfully joined the top 16.

After the draw comes out, this is the most intuitive and most anticipated duel, and now it is officially staged, entering the center court, without any dispute.

Among them, the focus battle between Murray and Dimitrov entered the night field; while the dark horse battle between the two unseeded players Seppi and Karlovic was squeezed into the Hisense Stadium.

reasonable.

Such an arrangement can always convince the public, even if the Huaxia fans and Australian fans are dissatisfied, they have nothing to say.

The tournament organizing committee must have considered it more than once. Arranging the match between Kyrgios and Gawain in the Rod Laver Stadium, in any case, is the last seed of the host in the singles arena, but after comprehensive consideration of various reasons, in the end Still chose the Margaret Court Stadium.

Margaret Court Stadium is the smallest, but it is precisely because of this that the distance between players and fans is the closest, and the whole sense of intimacy soars.

While effectively controlling the number of spectators, it can also ensure the close contact between fans and players, and the popularity of the schedule should be able to be raised to a higher level.

It's the perfect choice that won't take away the glamor of Rod Laver Stadium without disappointing the home fans.

As if at this time—

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Behind him, bursts of roar erupted from the Margaret Court Stadium, colliding with each other in the square stadium, echoing and overlapping again, like a tail, with a lingering aftertaste that lasted for a long time.

deafening.

Both Zhang Sheng and Yu Jia subconsciously turned their heads ~www.mtlnovel.com~ to look into the stadium, and then they could see the surging waves of people.

Although there are only less than half of the seats in the arena, and the spectators coming and going are rushing into the arena, the fans can't wait to start cheering and shouting, warming up for the upcoming focus match early.

Hurrah!

The sound of the wind, whistling.

Even the spectators who were queuing up to enter the field also raised their hands high and played the human wave, with bright smiles on their faces. Even though there were no players in the field, they also had a great time, cheering and shouting. Booing, whistling and screaming, the bustling sound was stirring in the audience.

The Margaret Court Stadium has a rectangular shape, and the vertical and horizontal distances are not long. The sound is emitted, and then hits back again soon. The sound waves, air waves and heat waves intertwine and collide, bursting out incredible energy , the sun is jumping in the air like blossoming flames.

Such a scene is indeed once in ten years.

The tenth update! Congratulations again to Nadal for reaching Roland Garros in 2022!
