And it’s more than just the scene?
Even the audience standing in front of the TV became excited.
Pu Lan regretted it a little. She felt that she should go to the scene to watch the game.
She thought she could keep her mind stable by staying at home, but in fact this was not the case.

This is the truth of competitive sports, because , in a tennis match, the most important thing is always the next point.

But...a new point, a new start.
Another break point, what will Nadal choose?
