On the other side, Nike is conducting a series of promotional tests around Gao Wen. The amazing market feedback has given them more confidence. This is obviously an unexpected surprise. Even the two parties involved, Djokovic and Murray, did not expect it. I realized that my duel could actually produce a domino effect.
Here, the Roland Garros game is still in full swing.
After Djokovic defeated Murray to advance to the final, the next step was the women's singles final.
Serena Williams, who suffered from a flu crisis, was in very, very pain. Until Saturday, she was still not sure whether she could play in the game. Later, in Serena Williams' own words,
"I doubted I would be able to get on the field."
Even in 2022, after Serena Williams officially retired, she recalled her long career. The forty-eight hours of this semi-final and final were still the most terrifying and difficult French Open journey. She didn’t know how she Those who finished the race, their memories are a blur.
However, with the help of doctors and physical therapists, Serena Williams finally stepped onto the Philippe-Chatier Court and regained her form.
"6:3", "4:1", with a long lead, Serena Williams' body once again broke down. Continuous double faults caused her game to become fragile. Safarova found an opportunity and succeeded. Cashed in, he won the second set strongly with "7:6(2)" and dragged the game into the final set.
As soon as the deciding set came up, Safarova continued to maintain her strength and broke serve first, leading "2:0". Seeing that the situation had come to her side.
However, Serena Williams is Serena Williams, and is undoubtedly the greatest female player of all time. In addition to her outstanding body and top talent, her will and tenacity, her desire and domineering, her determination and strength, There is no doubt that it is a heavy weapon on the field.
After falling behind, Serena Williams broke out from adversity and delivered an invisible egg to win six games in a row——
"6:2".
He won the final set with absolute domineering, reached the top of Roland Garros for the third time, and won his 20th Grand Slam championship trophy, becoming the second Grand Slam champion in the Open era after Steffi Graf. The number of players who have reached the 20th threshold has set a new record at the French Open.
At the moment when the match point was realized, Serena Williams didn't even have the energy to celebrate, not because it was natural, but because her body no longer allowed it.
It wasn't until after the post-match handshakes that I regained some strength that I was finally able to relax and celebrate this hard-won victory.
It is very worth mentioning that Serena Williams has accomplished what Gawain has not been able to do. Since the US Open last year, she has remained undefeated in the Grand Slams, holding a record of 21 consecutive victories and reaching the top of the US Open consecutively. , Australian Open and French Open champions, the New Year's Grand Slam greatness is only the last stop.
It's a bit unbelievable to say -
Gauvin and Serena Williams, two players, a fledgling rookie and a legend in the tennis world, are chasing the same record.
In fact, it was 1995 when Serena Williams first entered the professional arena, and that year, Gao Wen was just born; but now, before coming to Roland Garros, both players have continued to win ten Grand Slams. Four consecutive wins and looking to go even further in Paris.
In the end, Serena Williams succeeded, extending her winning streak to twenty-one, once again defending her title as world number one and proving her greatness; Gawain regretfully failed, stopping at nineteen consecutive wins and marking the first time in his career. An incredible run to reach the Grand Slam has finally come to an end.
At the post-match press conference, Serena Williams, who was finally able to relax completely, did not hesitate to praise her during the interview.
"...I like Gawain."
"You may not know that he is a humorous guy. Even when he was in New York, it was the first Grand Slam tournament of his career. When I met him for the first time, he was not as reserved or nervous as I expected. His conversation and demeanor make it hard to believe he is only nineteen years old."
"Oh god I shouldn't have brought this up, it makes me look so old lol."
"Of course, if I have the chance, I hope to play mixed doubles with him. I watched his matches, the one he played with Rafa, and the one he played with Stan, his performance was incredible. I think he’ll be a great doubles partner and should be very in demand.”
But when the reporter reminded Serena Williams that Gao Wen won two doubles championships with Nadal and Dimitrov respectively, Serena Williams laughed happily.
"Look, I knew it."
"However, if I am willing to play mixed doubles, I believe I should be a bit popular, right?"
No one expected that less than a year after entering the professional arena, Gao Wen’s name would already be discussed together with legends like Serena Williams. For tennis enthusiasts and ordinary passers-by, Gao Wen’s recognition They are all soaring in a straight line, further opening up their popularity and soaring across the board.
In this regard, real insiders will say that there is no need to make a fuss, there is really no need. Has no one noticed that Serena Williams is also the brand spokesperson of Nike?
Everything is a chess game.
After the women's singles final, Saturday's event is still not over. There is still one last game, the men's doubles final——
The first-seeded Bryan brothers faced the third-seeded Melo/Dodig.
At the final scene, the camera captured Gawain in the player box of the Bryan brothers. Obviously, the rising star did not go on a wine trip with his family, but stayed at Roland Garros to watch his friends' games. Be on the front lines cheering for the Bryan brothers.
Despite a bad spring season and a bad start on clay, when they came to the Grand Slam, the Bryan brothers still showed their talents and performed strongly all the way. They advanced to the finals on the clay court where they are least good at and won again. A chance to compete for the championship.
Both sides in the final were top doubles players, and the four players teamed up to give a wonderful contest, fully worthy of the quality of the final.
Finally, at the end of the game, the score was very close.
"6:7(5)", "7:6(5)", "7:5".
Each set is decided between one point and two points. Both teams have played to the extreme and performed on the spot. The deviation of one point or two can determine the outcome. The suspense is maintained until the last point. , although it is not as exciting as the first men's singles semi-final, it is not comparable.
The combination of Melo and Dodig defeated the Bryan brothers to win the championship.
Perhaps the Bryan brothers failed to win this year's French Open, but they are currently ranked number one in the world and still prove their competitiveness.
At this point, all the events on Saturday have come to an end, and the 2015 French Open will usher in its final curtain on Sunday. The women's doubles final and the men's singles final will provide the audience with the last feast.
Among them, there is no doubt that the most noteworthy one is the men's singles final, the duel between Djokovic and Wawrinka, which is tense, fresh and exciting enough.
