The award ceremony has begun.
The person in charge of hosting the award ceremony today is Australian tennis legend Todd Woodbridge.
"What an amazing, legendary, and wonderful final. Audience friends, please let us give the two players the warmest applause and cheers, okay?"
Before he could even finish his words, a roar of applause surged down, and the whole place was boiling.
Gao Wen and Djokovic have come to the back of the podium and stand side by side.
For Gawain, even though it was already the second time, everything was still a little strange. He couldn't help but raise his head, looking at the dim blue halo that filled the sky, and carefully felt the hot heat waves falling on the surface of his skin, and the blood that had not completely calmed down. It boiled again.
In the bustling crowd, the faces began to become blurry, but somewhat unexpectedly, Gawain saw Serjan:
His hands were tightly clasped in front of his chest, his face expressionless, like a child whose lollipop had been snatched away, without saying a word, and his whole body exuded anger and grievance.
Although he couldn't see clearly, he could still feel the emotion radiating from the inside out. Obviously, Serjan didn't like the feeling of being slapped in the face.
You can vaguely see that he is constantly twisting his body and adjusting his seat. People who don't know would almost suspect that there is a hedgehog under his butt, making it uncomfortable to sit no matter what.
For Djokovic, everything is already familiar. Whether he is the champion or the runner-up, the award ceremony is no longer unfamiliar. He has calmed down his emotions and even took the initiative to talk to Gawain to warm up the atmosphere.
"Honestly, back in Doha, you were already rehearsing the last few points of today's game, right?"
This is obviously a little joke.
Gawain withdrew his gaze, put Serjan behind, faced Djokovic's smile, pursed his lips, and had a natural expression on his face.
"Actually, it started after London last year. You know, I am a person who is used to making long-term plans, long...long...very, very long..."
The exaggerated tone immediately made Djokovic amused.
While he was talking, a staff member moved two chairs over, gently patted the two people's arms and signaled with their eyes.
Djokovic took the chair very generously and sat down directly——
Five hours and thirty minutes, my physical strength was really exhausted.
Moreover, the fierce battle in this game, compared with time, the real test comes from the impact on the mental level. He is indeed completely tired from the inside out and really needs a little rest.
Gawain was a little surprised.
tired?
Of course I was tired, the fatigue that came from the depths of my soul made my whole body relax.
But it wasn't to the point of being unsteady. After all, the award ceremony only lasted about twenty minutes.
Djokovic seemed to be able to detect Gawain's eyes and sighed with a smile, "It's great to be young."
This sentence also made Gao Wen laugh. After all, he didn't refuse anymore and sat down. "I'm worried that my physical coach may want to train more after I go back."
This time it was Djokovic's turn to laugh out loud.
Spectators in the stands.
Peart shook his head slightly, "No, you still have to practice your physical fitness."
Gawain felt goosebumps appear on his spine. Why did he feel like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake?
From the chairman of the Australian Tennis Association to the Australian Open tournament director to the representative of Kia, the largest sponsor of the Australian Open, everyone took turns to give speeches. The entire awards ceremony was indeed a bit long.
Then, Djokovic took the stage——
Be the first to award the runner-up prize plate.
Tonight, in order to coincide with the much-anticipated final, the organizers of the Australian Open invited Mr. Rod Laver to serve as the award guest.
The importance of the competition can be felt in all aspects——
After all, whoever wins the final will make history. Whether it is Djokovic's five-time Australian Open crown or Gawain's back-to-back Grand Slam wins, these are moments worthy of being recorded in history.
Djokovic took over the runner-up medal from Mr. Laver.
The whole audience burst into applause.
Serbian fans and Australian fans looked at Djokovic with tears in their eyes. Words are simply not enough to describe their loss and sadness.
Djokovic, who had high hopes, failed to stop Gao Wen after all. He lost to this young opponent for the third time in his career. Then, in his own back garden, he witnessed Gao Wen reach the top. Compared with Djokovic, For Qi himself, the fans' sadness and despair are even more intense.
The applause is dedicated to Djokovic; at the same time, it is also dedicated to this game——
Regardless of victory or defeat, success or failure, tonight, they witnessed a wonderful showdown that will go down in history.
Perhaps, many, many years from now, when people talk about peak duels, in addition to the 2008 Wimbledon final and the 2012 Australian Open final, the 2015 Australian Open final will also come into view, and they will argue:
Which matchup is the best in history?
Amid the turmoil, Djokovic stepped onto the podium.
"First of all, I need to congratulate Gao Wen for winning the men's singles championship tonight. We all know that you have set a record again. Your performance tonight is very, very good and you are fully worthy of this championship trophy."
"Secondly, I would like to formally thank my team and family. Without you, I would not be able to stand on the final stage at Melbourne Park again. In order for me to reach this point, you have sacrificed a lot on and off the court. I love you." you."
"Last but not least, the fans!"
Boom boom boom!
Ho ho ho!
Applause and cheers flooded the entire Rod Laver Arena in an instant. It can be seen at this moment that the Big Four are popular around the world.
Other challengers, including Gawain and Wawrinka, are still not at the same level as the Big Four, and the gap is not small.
Djokovic also paused slightly before nodding his thanks to the fans.
"I just heard that we have another record-breaking number of spectators this year, and it's an honor to be able to stand here and compete."
"Hopefully, I can come back next year, thank you!"
After a brief acceptance speech, Djokovic gave up the stage because he knew that the lights tonight should belong to another player.
There is still a hustle and bustle in the air that has not had time to dissipate. Although all the audience members remain quiet, they can still feel the rolling heat waves rolling on the surface of the skin, so much so that silence can also make people's hearts surge, and the sound of the heart hitting the chest is in the eardrums. Continue to zoom in above.
With everyone watching, Woodbridge stepped closer to the microphone and his voice came through.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the 2015 Australian Open, men's singles champion——
Gawain! "
Ho ho ho!
Ahhhh!
ah! ah! ah!
A little, and a little more.
The cheers and shouts that filled Rod Laver Arena converged into one wave of sound, and unexpectedly once again erupted with a steady stream of energy, as if there was no end in sight.
Keep erupting, keep rising, keep exploding.
The moment you have been waiting for and waiting for has finally arrived!
