On September 8, the U.S. Open, the last tennis Grand Slam of the year in 2014, entered its last match day. All the matches for teenagers and adults in Flushing have ended, leaving only one match - —
The men's singles final will be held at Arthur Ashe Stadium at 5 pm New York time.
Yesterday, the women's singles final ended. Serena Williams defeated her good friend Wozniacki in straight sets to complete three consecutive US Open titles for the first time, and historically won her 18th Grand Slam championship trophy. Successfully seize the opportunity in the year-end battle for world No. 1.
Party all night long!
The charm of competitive sports is once again vividly demonstrated. Rather than chasing historical records, it is better to say that they challenge their own limits.
Behind every breakthrough, you can deeply feel the surging blood and the release of passion. No one can refuse such a moment of blooming.
Today, the men’s singles final also stands at the crossroads of history——
If Cilic wins the championship, he will inherit the mantle of his head coach Ivanisevic and become the second player in Croatian history to win a Grand Slam championship, and the No. 14 seed will also be the first in twelve years. The second lowest championship seed.
If Gao Wen wins the championship, then as a Chinese player, as an Asian player, as a player born in 1995, as a player participating in the Grand Slam for the first time in his career, as a wild card player, and as a player ranked 193rd in the world, he will comprehensively refresh the four rankings. Grand Slam History.
Real life is often like this. When history happens, people don't notice it. After time passes, they look back and realize that it was the turning point. They unknowingly become participants or witnesses of history; but this time is different. Everyone is different. Knowing that history has been created in just two games in the semi-finals, the final will go even further——
It would be perfect to witness history live at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
However, tickets for the finals should be very expensive, right?
The local Chinese people in New York made inquiries one after another, and then suddenly discovered: Huh? Not only is it not expensive, it’s cheaper than last year; it’s also the lowest price in five years!
The reason is very simple. The collision of two dark horses lacks box office appeal. First, there is unfamiliarity, second, there are no fans, and third, the expectations for the excitement of the final have dropped. For various reasons, it is understandable that the ticket price has dropped.
but!
For Chinese fans, this is equivalent to discount season! Tickets for the finals are actually available at an unprecedented 15% discount! The cheapest ticket is only $145! Where does this good thing come from!
In an instant, Chinese fans were in a commotion: How could they miss the moment when a young compatriot made history?
Then a large number of Chinese fans rushed to buy tickets. One second the organizing committee was worried that the attendance rate for the finals might not be satisfactory. The next second all ticket agencies found that the price of finals tickets was slowly picking up again!
What is this operation?
Does it mean that the "discount power" has been reduced?
Whispering, fans rushed to buy tickets for the finals at a significantly faster pace. Twenty-five thousand tickets were quickly sold out, and all were sold out before the ticket prices soared. The organizing committee suddenly beamed with joy. stand up--
Sure enough, Huaxia Market is trustworthy!
According to ticket statistics, at noon yesterday, the ticket price of the final dropped by about 14%; but in the early morning of this morning, the ticket price of the final increased by about 15%. The final ticket price was actually almost the same as last year when Nadal played against Djokovic. So The market performance can also be considered a bright spot.
From this point of view, the ratings of the finals are also worth looking forward to?
This is also true.
"Hello, everyone! Hello, everyone, can you hear me? The network should be smooth, right?"
Jiang Yanqing waved her right hand at the laptop camera and said hello with a smile on her face.
The computer screen showed Qiao Wangsheng's ordinary square face, slightly reserved, and then he waved.
"You can hear it very clearly, but why are you the only one and no one else has arrived yet?"
Unlike Jiang Yanqing's clean screen, a large group of people, about thirty or fifty people, could be seen behind Qiao Wangsheng's screen. They were all gathered in a bar. At this time, you could also see the video wall hanging in the bar. , the channel has been adjusted to CCTV 5 early.
Jiang Yanqing showed a mysterious smile, turned the laptop around, and then you could see a group of people squatting on the ground all standing up, shouting "surprise" unevenly, and the computer screen was filled to the brim in an instant. As far as you can see, everyone is there.
At this time, everything in the Chinese mainland was quiet. It was half past three in the middle of the night. For most people, it was the best time to fall asleep and play games with Zhou Gong. However, tennis enthusiasts could not suppress their excitement and excitement, especially When I learned that CCTV 5 had specially produced a special live broadcast for the men's singles final, I couldn't control it anymore.

Hundreds of fans sit on the green hillside outside the No. 1 court for outings and parties, watching the live matches broadcast on the big screen, chatting and joining the party. This has long become a Wimbledon is the most beautiful scenery in early summer every year.
So should they.
Qiao Wangsheng was a little worried. After all, tennis is an individual sport. There is no habit of watching tennis collectively in China yet, and he was not sure whether it could be held. But he finally launched a call, launching different calls in different cities, and then through video calls. All connected.
Watch the live broadcast together with a beer, share the tension and collide with the passion.

Jiang Yanqing couldn't suppress her excitement and shouted to stop her friends who were fighting. CCTV 5's special live broadcast program started on time at four o'clock in the morning. There was still a full hour before the US Open men's singles final program. Then all eyes turned towards It was projected onto the TV screen.
At the same time, on the east coast of the North American continent on the other side of the Pacific, Flushing is also crowded with people. The vast joy and laughter are pouring into Arthur Ashe Stadium. Even if you close your eyes, you can feel the burning air lightly. Landing on the surface of the skin, he tried his best to suppress the urge to scream.
