Mike turned his head slightly and looked towards the opposite side of the court. At this moment, he calmed down, and the ins and outs of the entire round became clear, and everything was sorted out——
Gawain laid a trap, but they didn't know it at all, so they stepped into it stupidly, and the first game ended in this way.
This is really...
Across the court, Mike saw Gao Wen's relaxed and generous gaze, with a bright smile on his lips, with a youthful flamboyance, as if he was riding a bicycle and sprinting with all his strength, letting the strong wind fill the hem of his shirt and fluttering, the breath of sunshine Overflowing from the inside out.
Gawain seemed to be aware of Mike's eyes. Not only did his smile not shrink, but it also rose more wantonly. It was neither arrogant nor provocative, just a kind of pure confidence and determination. That smile and eyes were completely blooming, even Mike was also Get excited together.
Sure enough, Gawain is still the same Gawain.
Mike couldn't hold it back, and his smile also rose.
Looking back, Mike saw Bob with a helpless face, seemingly a little frustrated.
Compared with Mike, Bob always has ups and downs, and his mood swings are more obvious.
Since the start of the new season this year, they have not found their form for a long time. They know the worries of age and the ups and downs of their form better than anyone else. The heavy pressure on their chests and shoulders has always lingered. Even they can't. I couldn't help but start to doubt myself.
After coming to Monte Carlo from Houston, they still couldn't fully adapt to the clay soil, which made Bob's mood even worse.
call.
Mike let out a long breath, supported himself with his racket, stood up again, took the initiative to take steps towards Bob, then bumped his twin brother with his shoulder, and said something harsh.
"What? You are weak, are you ready to surrender? It seems that you are already preparing for Gawain's future humorous jokes."
In fact, the Bryan brothers are already thirty-seven years old. Whether they want to admit it or not, their careers have entered the end and may end at any time.
For the Bryan brothers, they have had countless brilliance and written countless histories. They have left their own mark in the professional tennis world. Therefore, they have no need to regret. At the end of their careers, they should really enjoy tennis and resume their careers. Looking for the initial happiness and joy——
If it weren't for love, I wouldn't have started in the first place, I wouldn't have switched to doubles after hitting a wall in the singles arena, and I wouldn't have continued competing when I was thirty-seven.
Tennis has brought them many, many victories and championships, happiness and sadness, struggles and breakthroughs. Next, they should learn to enjoy it.
At least, that's how it seemed to Mike.
Of course, Mike still longs for victory, and no one can refuse the taste of victory, but there should be more besides victory.
However, these words did not work for Bob, so Mike chose a method that suited Bob.
really!
Bob's eyes suddenly widened:
Losing the game is not the end of the world, but giving up the game is definitely a shame.
Moreover, Bob is not ready to give up the victory, this game is not over yet!
Lose?
What is that? Can it be eaten?
Bob glared at Mike hard, "What did you say? Why can't I understand?"
There was a smile in Mike's eyes. Perhaps, this game could be a turning point in their season and they could regain their mentality of enjoying the game.
Mike replied unhurriedly, "I don't know who was dejected just now, with a doomsday expression on his face."
"Who? Who are you talking about!" Bob immediately pretended to be dumbfounded, straightened his back, looked around, but found that there was no scapegoat. When he looked back, he found that Mike had returned to the players to rest. Zone, he hurriedly followed in small steps, mumbling an explanation.
"You mean yourself?"
"Mike, cheer up! Cheer up, the game is not over yet."
"It's not like you to be ready to surrender after one set, Mike."
"Why, you weren't stimulated by that high-pressure ball just now, were you?"
"Haha, Mike Bryan, you have today too."
…
Just like that, Bob couldn't stop talking.
Bob was talking throughout the break. Even if Mike didn't respond, it didn't affect the classmate's good mood, muttering to himself.
It wasn't until the referee announced that the break was over and the second set was about to begin that Bob hurriedly drank two large sips of water to moisten his dry throat, followed Mike in a series of trots, returned to the court, and continued the game. But the mood has obviously regained its relaxation.
Things were just as Mike expected——
The positive atmosphere of the game between Gawain and Dimitrov successfully brought about a positive impact, and the Bryan brothers also regained their long-lost passion.
In the opening stage of the second set, both sides successfully maintained serve.
Moreover, neither side sent a break point, and the entire match gradually stabilized, and the rounds became more exciting, triggering cheers from the audience.
Stay relaxed, stay engaged, focus without distraction, and in this state, you can often play incredible rounds.
It is precisely because of this that incredible shots can often be seen in exhibition games.
Whether it is the combination of Gawain or the combination of the Bryan brothers, they both seem to be in such a state to offer a top-notch showdown to the audience on Court No. 1.
In the second game, Bob served and led "30:0". In the next ball, it was Gao Wen's combination that took advantage.
Dimitrov volleyed a wonderful ball in front of the net, and it fell sharply through the net. His delicate and inspired technique allowed people to see Federer's style. The offloading, line, placement, and timing were all perfect, even It also continued to tilt outward after landing, and the strong external rotation further increased the difficulty.
Wonderful!
Everyone was marveling at Dimitrov's beautiful shot and was about to score. However, Bob did not give up.
A forceful sprint of 100 meters like a wild horse arrived, and finally he used his forehand wrist to turn a strong side spin just before the tennis ball was about to jump twice. The tennis ball circled the post and returned to the court, incredibly. Landed in the open area behind Dimitrov.
Score, belongs to Brother Bryan.
"40:0".
After finishing the ball, Bob took advantage of the situation and sat down on his butt, sitting flat on the ground in a cute posture like sitting in rows eating fruit, splashing a piece of red soil.
The whole audience was shocked. Dimitrov played well, but Bob saved even better.
Even Bob himself couldn't believe it. His face was full of shock. In normal practice and competition, he might not be able to successfully hit the ball once even if he hit it a hundred times, but he succeeded today?
Bob, stunned: What's going on? Am I possessed by Nadal?
Finally, the audience stood up and applauded.
Dimitrov simply walked around the net, stretched out his right hand, helped Bob stand up, and even hugged Bob, and the two of them laughed.
At the same time, Gao Wen and Mike also high-fived each other across the net to congratulate on this wonderful point.
This goal is undoubtedly one of the top five goals every day.
From strong confrontation to inspirational collision, both pairs showed their top abilities in this point, once again interpreting the charm of doubles competition.
But this is just the beginning.
