"Bah! Rafa!"
"Bah! Gawain!"
There was a huge crowd at the entrance of the Philippe-Chartier Stadium. Roland Garros, which had been quiet, became busy again. Obviously, sitting in front of the TV and watching the game live are two completely different things. No one wants to miss this event. carnival.
At the entrance of the stadium, everything is sold out——
Before the start of the quarterfinals, Susan Lenglen's ticket sales exceeded 90%, while Philippe Chartier's ticket sales rate was slightly lower at 80%.
It can be seen from here that Federer's appeal in Paris is still unmatched. Even if the tournament deliberately arranged this match between Susan Lenglen, it still failed to stop the enthusiasm of the audience.
Of course, the two stadiums have different capacities. Philippe Chartier can accommodate 15,000 people, while Susan Lenglen can only accommodate 10,000 people. So in terms of the number of visitors, Philippe Chartier still has the same capacity. A complete victory, but the visual pressure conveyed by the attendance rate is still won by Susan Lenglen.
However, as the game progressed, during the intermission period after the first set, Philippe Chartier's tickets were all sold out, and a large number of spectators continued to pour into the stadium to watch the game.
In a blink of an eye, the whole place was packed and they witnessed the excitement of the second set with their own eyes.
It can be clearly seen in the camera lens that Philippe Chartier's scene is full of people. Although people have not checked the exact data yet, judging from the situation on the scene, this game should have set a record——
Breaking the attendance record for the quarterfinals at Stade Philippe-Chatier.
Generally speaking, the grand occasion of the attendance rate exceeding 95% needs to wait until the semi-finals or the finals. Before that, there is always a lack of sparks, even the quarter-finals where the host players participate is no exception.
But today, because of Nadal's appeal, because of Gawain's discussion, because of all the pre-match events, and most importantly because of the excitement and suspense of the event, Roland Garros staged an unparalleled event.
In the second set, Nadal had already got the set point and was about to win and take a huge two-set lead. However, at the end of the set, he witnessed Gawain's feat of reversal and winning three consecutive sets, and came from behind to win.
"6:4", "5:7".
With a big score and a draw, the two players returned to the same starting line. The best-of-five sets became a best-of-three sets, but the suspense of victory was still full of infinite possibilities, which also completely detonated the fans' expectations.
If Nadal wins, he will end Gauvin's 18-game winning streak in Grand Slams and sound the clarion call for the King of Clay to once again conquer Roland Garros.
If Gauvin wins, he will hand Nadal his second career defeat at Roland Garros, ending Nadal's quest for six consecutive French Open titles.
In other words, no matter who wins in the end, the result will trigger a news frenzy.
Can't miss it, absolutely can't miss it.
Continuously, people marched towards Roland Garros again and gathered towards Philippe Chartier. Even though the tickets were sold out, the bustling crowd still gathered on the lawn at the entrance of the stadium to watch the live broadcast on the big screen. Be on the front line and feel the heat.
Crowds of people continued to gather from all directions.
Even people themselves didn’t realize that Susan Lenglen next door was holding the Swiss Derby between French favorite Federer and Wawrinka. Everyone’s attention was focused on the event in front of them——
The "War of the Gods of War" between Nadal and Gawain.
Although people had already mentioned Gawain as the "God of War" at the beginning of the year at the Australian Open, it was not noisy at the time, and the showdown between Nadal and Gawain did not trigger such a level of discussion. The "host's mortal enemy" controversy has taken away all the topics. style.
After experiencing the Australian Open final and witnessing this game, people deeply realized that Gawain's tenacity and fighting spirit were indeed the rise of another god of war.
From the stalemate in the first set to the reversal in the second set, the two players were always fighting and fighting. The air around Philippe Chartier was almost ignited, so that the audience also became excited.
Mars--
It is not only reflected in the high morale in desperate situations, but also in the tenacity in fierce battles. It is also reflected in the peak showdown, the collision of powerful forces, and the surging passion and vitality of challenging the limits. They are always fighting, always striving, and always burning. …and always breathing.
Obviously, this is true for Nadal, and so is Gawain.
The entanglement and game between you and me are always full of passion and blooming wantonly.
Wonderful, one wave after another, one scene after another——
The Stade Philippe-Chatier has gone absolutely crazy.
Crazy for Nadal, burning for Gawain, one after another, spiraling cheers echoed for a long time, everyone is cheering for this game.
"Bah! Rafa!"
"Bah! Gawain!"
Treat everyone equally and treat everyone equally.
In the third set, the game was still tense, with lots of drama.
At the end of the second set, the two players fought hard when their physical strength was at a low point. In the end, the young and energetic Gao Wen seized the opportunity to win three consecutive games.
It is generally believed that this situation is likely to continue at the beginning of the third set. Gao Wen continued to be high-energy and strong, and opened up the gap at the beginning.
But as a bystander, I overlooked two things:
First, Gawain is also made of flesh and blood, and he is also facing a low point in physical strength. The burning release at the end of the second set caused him to slide to the limit of physical strength faster, and even faced the dilemma of reaching the extreme limit of physical strength earlier than Nadal.
Second, Nadal’s tenacity. If he were an ordinary player, he would lose three consecutive games with four set points and be reversed to lose the second set. It is inevitable for his mentality to fluctuate. He may collapse as soon as the third set comes. But Nadal Dahl doesn't know how to do it, and his mentality is stable——
Nadal will also be frustrated, frustrated, and depressed, but his strongest point is that he can always leave negative emotions behind in the previous point and then refocus on the next point, the next game, and even the next set.
Very, very occasionally, Nadal swallows a donut in the last set, but comes back again in the next set and goes all out to win.
This ability to adjust one's mentality is indeed an innate tenacity.
Of course, Nadal's physical strength is still a problem, but a new set is a new beginning, and the situation can be completely different from scratch.
So, the third set was different from the first two sets.
Due to physical constraints, both players focus more on their own serve. Correspondingly, they take more risks in the opponent's serve. If they lose the opportunity, they will not fight desperately -
This does not mean giving up confrontation, but it is more reasonable and rational to not continue to burn physical energy to save the ball in some rounds with slim chances.
Naturally, the entire confrontation and entanglement was relatively reduced.
The most direct thing is that the number of break points has plummeted, while the break rate has plummeted——
Nadal got three break points and cashed in once.
Gao Wen got four break points and cashed in once.
Compared with the previous two sets, it is completely different.
However, this does not mean that there are fewer exciting rounds. On the contrary, the two players, under the condition of limited physical strength, came on stage with all kinds of martial arts. The characteristics of clay were used to the extreme, and the game and competition between you and me was instead It bursts out with a kaleidoscope of splendor and variety.
