Pattering, the whole world quieted down. The sound of rain was obviously beating in my ears, but it was wrapped in the rain curtain, but it was so quiet and warm. The sounds of heart beating, blood burning, and rapid breathing surged trivially. Then, an ambiguous throbbing quietly crawled onto my fingertips.
A little itchy, a little hot, if you don't pay attention, your fingertips will curl up as if they were burned.
Pu Lan stared at Gawain and fell helplessly.
The next second, Gawain had stood up straight again, a little shy and shy. He looked away, but couldn't help but look at Pulan with his peripheral vision, but the smile on his lips still rose happily.
Pulan felt that her cheeks were about to catch fire and her heart was about to explode. She was a little incoherent, but she just tried to prove that she was still calm and changed the subject in a panic.
"...It seems that the rain may not stop soon, and I don't know if the other game will be over."
After finishing speaking, Pulan felt a little embarrassed——
This topic-changing technique is too blunt, it's like a 90-degree turn. It's so embarrassing that if you don't pay attention, you may break your bones.
Sure enough, Pulan could notice that Gawain's eyes were turned towards her again. He was smiling but not smiling, with a slight constriction. He could tell that he was teasing her. This made Pulan realize that his shyness and nervousness were all exposed, and he couldn't help but mutter in annoyance. .
"Oh God, why haven't I learned Harry Potter's Apparition spell?"
This sentence is completely in French, and he is obviously talking to himself.
But Pulan had forgotten that Gawain had improved rapidly in French and could actually understand most of it, not to mention that there was a keyword that was universally used around the world——
Harry Potter.
"So, are you reviewing Harry Potter's spells now?"
Gawain's joking voice came to his ears. Pulan's muscles froze in place. Without looking at Gawain, he turned around and pushed open the door to enter the library. He exuded a strange aura of "I don't know you" all over his body. He ran away in a series of small steps.
Gawain laughed heartily, and then quickly caught up with him and entered the library.
It was raining outside, and it was getting heavier as time went on. What was originally thought to be a midsummer thunderstorm turned into a heavy rain.
There is no end, no end in sight.
Pulan’s worries were also the worries of countless fans and tournament organizers. In the end, their worries inevitably came to pass——
The second semi-final between Djokovic and Murray was disrupted by rain.
From being postponed for thirty minutes to being postponed for an hour, and then not restarting before 8pm, the organizing committee still held out hope and kept adjusting and waiting. Philippe Chartier and fans wearing raincoats were in the heavy rain. Waiting hard, refusing to leave, holding on to hope.
Until eight o'clock in the evening, the organizing committee looked at the heavy rain that still showed no sign of stopping and the sky that gradually turned dark. Even if the heavy rain stopped after five minutes, the sky was no longer dark enough for the competition, so they had no choice but to announce. All events on that day have been cancelled, and the adjusted schedule will be announced later.
Before the rain interrupted it, the "Djokovic VS Murray" game also reached a critical moment, and the suspense of victory and defeat further increased, attracting the attention of the whole audience.
"6:3", "6:3", "5:7", "0:0".
In the first two sets, Djokovic performed strongly and almost dominated the game. This can't help but remind people of Murray's seven-game losing streak against Djokovic. All signs show that Djokovic will win. Continue the winning streak.
However, in the third set, Murray showed his unbeaten performance on clay this season. He seized the opportunity of Djokovic's physical fluctuations and launched a counterattack. After some struggle, Murray won with a key break at the end of the set.
Moreover, at the beginning of the fourth set, Murray continued his strong performance and won consecutive break points in Djokovic's serve, demonstrating his strong attitude of being confident in winning the French Open this year.
The rain is coming right now——
From a score perspective, this is obviously not good for Murray.
After all, he was on the rise and was reversing the situation. When he grasped the break point, Djokovic escaped and was unable to continue in one go.
Waiting for the rain to stop and Djokovic to recover, the situation was different. Just like in the early stages of the game, Djokovic was the one who took the initiative on the court, and Murray's hot touch was cut off.
Naturally, the rain should be more beneficial to Djokovic.
But is it really so?
From another perspective, Murray began to accelerate from the second half of the third set, seizing Djokovic's physical trough, continuing his upward momentum with continuous bursts, and cashing in on his opportunities to regain the disadvantage in the score.
What's next?
Next, Djokovic passed the peak of his physical fitness and regained control of the game. On the contrary, Murray, who continued to explode, is likely to fall into a new physical trough. Once he cannot keep up with Djokovic's rhythm, the fourth set will be difficult. Got——
Djokovic only needs one wave to kill the game directly.
Now interrupted by rain, although Murray did not complete the break and take the lead, which is a pity; but Murray won a breather before the peak of physical strength, and then returned to the same starting line with Djokovic. It's not an opportunity for Murray.
What's more, taking a step back, Djokovic and Murray are both veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They have faced rain disturbances in Grand Slams not once or twice, and they both know how to adjust and respond.
Therefore, a sudden rain may be a bad thing or a good thing, and it is difficult to judge who is beneficial, and the suspense is once again full of vitality.
Perhaps the only one who is truly affected is the audience -
The excitement was going on, but the result was a slap in the face, interrupted unreasonably, and hung in mid-air. There was no result to be expected in a short period of time.
Originally, today was the day of the men's singles semifinals, and everything was perfect.
First, there was the five-set battle between Gawain and Wawrinka. Not only were there countless exciting rounds, but there were also turns, counterattacks, confrontations, and a great ending. The wonderful game was enough to ignite all the passion and enthusiasm.
Then there was a strong confrontation between Djokovic and Murray. Just when everyone thought that Djokovic would win strongly and move towards the standard ending, Murray proved his giant ability with an unparalleled performance.
However--
A heavy rain brought everything to an abrupt halt. The surging enthusiasm and expectations were stuck in the air, and I almost couldn't swallow them in one breath.
It is precisely because of this that even if heavy rain hits, many fans are still sitting at the Philippe-Chartier Stadium, waiting patiently and infatuatedly, waiting for the rain to stop, waiting for the rematch, and waiting for today to come to a perfect end. Waiting for the peak showdown to determine the winner today.
Wearing a raincoat and holding an umbrella...
The enthusiastic fans are like mushrooms nourishing the rain and growing in the wind.
But what else could they say?
This is Roland Garros, the classic routine of the French Open. Year after year, year after year, it seems that it has never changed at all.
