In the tide of the times, everyone is making their own choices, but no one can say whether it is right or wrong. Only time can prove it.
Regarding the stadium roofs, the four majors all compromised and successively built roofs on their respective center courts.
Regarding nighttime broadcasts, the US Open took the lead in creating a feat, followed closely by the Australian Open, but Wimbledon and the French Open have temporarily slowed down.
My eyes returned to the Australian Open.
The whole point of night games is the television coverage.
Traditionally, most tennis matches have been scheduled for matinees, which also means that it is very difficult to watch live broadcasts during working hours on weekdays.
Therefore, tennis has also begun to learn football and basketball, and arrange night games. Office workers can also watch live broadcasts after get off work, and then the games can create profits through broadcast rights and advertising fees.
It is precisely because of this that night games often feature real top stars to further stimulate ratings and look forward to a bumper harvest.
Media reporters also like to measure the status of players and the importance of the event by the number of games and night games played in the center court.
Correspondingly, the venue for arranging night games is naturally the most core and most important venue, with the most complete and cutting-edge broadcast equipment, and a large number of live broadcast rooms.
This year's Australian Open, only Rod Laver Arena and Margaret Court Arena have night matches.
The answer is self-evident.
Among them, Rod Laver Arena is undoubtedly the center court, where all five finals of men's singles, men's doubles, women's singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles are held; the finals of youth competitions may be held here according to the schedule. Adjustments are made and occasional trips to Margaret Court Stadium may be made.
Naturally, Margaret Court Stadium became No. 2 and Hisense Stadium became No. 3.
So, how will the schedule and venues be arranged?
The next morning, at ten o'clock sharp, the organizing committee announced the schedule for the first competition day.
Rod Laver Arena.
Matinee.
The first game, "Halep vs. Karin-Knepp".
The second game, "Ivanovic vs. Lucie-hradecka".
The third game, "Nadal vs. Youzhny".
Nightclub.
The first game, "Federer vs Lu Yanxun".
The second game, "Sharapova vs. Petra Martic (petra-martic)".
The first suspense surfaced:
Murray was kicked out of the center court. Strictly speaking, it was not an unexpected result.
In the end, Halep was responsible for the opening and Sharapova was the main pivot; in addition, Federer defeated Nadal to enter the night court, everything was in line with expectations.
Of course, Murray should go to Margaret Court Stadium to play.
really!
Murray's name can be seen at a glance on the schedule at Margaret Court Stadium, but what about Gao Wen?
No.
Wait, no?
How can it be!
But...no, no, not at all.
After repeated confirmations, Gao Wen's name was still not found on the first day's schedule at Margaret Court Stadium, which was a huge surprise.
However, taking a closer look at the schedule, it seems that we are not so surprised——
Margaret Court Arena, like Rod Laver Arena, has five games throughout the day, three matinee games, two women's singles and one men's singles; two night games, one women's singles and one men's singles In men's singles, the order of each game is carefully arranged, which may involve the position of the player.
In the first day's schedule at Margaret Court Stadium, Murray is the matinee, and the night game is... Kyrgios.
incredible!
and.
Kyrgios faced another unseeded player in the first round, Argentina's Federico Delbonis.
To put it simply, Murray was not only squeezed out of the center court by Nadal and Federer, but also squeezed out of the night court by Kyrgios.
Incredible!
I can't laugh or cry!
So, was Gao Wen simply squeezed into Hisense Stadium?
Strictly speaking, this should not be a surprise, but a surprise.
After all, this is the Australian Open.
Just like the venue arrangement for the pre-match press conference, they can squeeze out Djokovic and arrange Hewitt and Stosur in the No. 1 press conference room.
Similarly, they can also squeeze out Gowan and give opportunities at Rod Laver Arena and Margaret Court Arena to local Australian players——
Due to the schedule on the first day, Australian players were not able to enter Rod Laver Arena, and the stars of the top stars were still too dazzling; accordingly, Australian players began to "occupy" Margaret Court Arena.
In addition to Kyrgios, there is another women's singles duel between two unseeded players, occupying the first game slot at Margaret Court Arena.
One of them is a local Australian player.
Thinking about it this way, Gawain was indeed unjustly accused. It was obviously not him who squeezed Djokovic out of the No. 1 press conference room, but the news media made him take the blame. Inexplicably, he was cursed severely by Serjan. As a result With a turn, Gao Wen was "thrown" out of Margaret Court Stadium by the Australian Open Organizing Committee.
Of course, no matter what, Gao Wen is the eighth seed, and he is also the new star that the Australian Open Organizing Committee has focused on promoting this year. In addition, they will face Australian local players in the first round, so no matter how bad it is, they should not Will kick Gawain to the small court in the outfield.
Hisense Stadium, Game 4.
This time, I found Gao Wen's name in the Hisense Stadium schedule very smoothly.
Interestingly, Hisense Stadium is an Australian special.
The first two are women's singles matches, the third is "Tomic vs. Tobias-Kamke" - also a match between two unseeded players, and the fourth is "Gaowen vs. Kogkinakis”.
In any case, we still successfully entered the third court.
Here, the Chinese media are complaining one after another.
Forget it if they missed Rod Laver Arena. The combination of Nadal and Federer is indeed difficult to compete with, but how could they miss Margaret Court Arena?
Is it because... the organizing committee is not optimistic that Kogkinakis can defeat Gawain? And Kyrgios has a greater chance of defeating Delbones. They all expected the Australian players to have a good start, so they sacrificed Gawain?
So, is this a compliment or contempt?
Over there, Gawain was in a peaceful state of mind.
It has only been less than six months since he entered the professional arena, and everything is new to Gao Wen.
Whether it is Rod Laver Stadium or Hisense Stadium, they are all new venues for him. Compared with the venue, Gao Wen is more looking forward to the event itself.
This is the Australian Open, and a new event means a new challenge; and, with the eighth seed seat, it means that if he wants to compete with the top players, he must enter the quarterfinals. Before that, , he faced the impact as a defender.
Everything is brand new.
Gawain couldn't wait and was eager to try. He was ready.
Facts... also proved Gawain's conjecture.
The challenge came early, even before entering the stadium. In the locker room, you can see the bustling Australian gang.
