"Bah! Gawain!"
Applause, thunder.
Especially when the audience saw Gao Wen taking off his sneakers to feel the grass with his feet, the cheers became even louder amid the kind laughter.
In just two weeks, they accompanied Gawain on this magical journey——
They witnessed Gauvin taking off his sneakers six times, saving match points in both games against Istomin and Murray, and regretfully missing one match point against Federer but saving an astonishing 11 match points. He came to the All England Club for the first time in his career and advanced to the semi-finals.
An adventure like no other!
And, that's not all.
Since July last year, as of Wimbledon, it has been exactly one year since Gao Wen entered the professional arena. This 19-year-old youngster has written countless brilliance.
The debut performance of two of the four Grand Slam champions and two semi-finalists is undoubtedly an unprecedented feat; the three Masters championship trophies are additional rewards, leaving aside the two doubles championship trophies. The excellent performance across hard courts, red clay and grass is very strong.
He emerged as a comet and broke through the blockade with great momentum. He ranked second in the world and played the role of the fifth giant without hesitation. His performance, temperament and achievements have already suppressed Murray, and he has begun to challenge the other three players by leaps and bounds. The throne of a giant.
Any language seems pale and feeble.
then.
Wimbledon chose the simplest and most classic way to applaud Gawain in this century-old arena and witness the birth of a superstar.
Perhaps, no stadium is more suitable to witness such classic moments than a venue as rich in heritage and history as the All England Club's Center Court.
"Bah! Gawain!"
Covering the sky and covering the earth.
Gawain tied up the laces of his sneakers and hung them around his neck. Then he raised his hands and circled 360 degrees, applauding the audience.
In the tour, more than one player has said that Wimbledon has the best audience in the tour. Gao Wen has always been hesitant about this. He believes that different events and venues have their own charm; but after truly experiencing the two After a long journey, Gawain finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
This group of viewers not only loves tennis, but also understands tennis——
Even if they all stand behind Federer and cheer for the King of Grass, they will never be stingy with their applause to cheer for their opponents, let alone their cheers to celebrate a wonderful round.
Here, the charm of tennis and the tension of competitive sports interpret the most beautiful scenery.
In Wimbledon, there are strawberries with cream, fluttering white clothes, a lot of traditions that make people complain, and a group of fans who really love tennis.
call.
Gawain let out a long breath, the more he did it, the more unwilling he became, and the more he did it, the more bitter he became, but the smile at the corner of Gawain's mouth still rose.
Come to the net and wait quietly for Federer——
Obviously, Federer also needs some time.
From the embarrassment at the end of the fourth set, to the stalemate in the long-set decider, to the thrill of missing eleven match points, this game was of great significance to him, even though he had experienced countless experiences at Wimbledon. An important moment that will go down in history, but today’s game is different.
The long trough since 2012, finally! Wimbledon is finally getting a new lease of life this year.
In addition to emotion and excitement, Federer's confidence in the final has also reached a new peak.
This is the most important.
Therefore, both Gawain and Federer, on both sides of the net, spent some time digesting the game. Even if the game was over, it still took some time for their beating hearts to calm down.
Gawain, patiently stood in front of the net and waited.
Federer did not let Gawain wait too long, and then he raised his racket, slapped the racket with his left hand, applauded Gawain together with the audience, and ran all the way to the net, with a bright smile on his face.
"exciting competition."
Gao Wen also held Federer's right hand and shook his head gently, "I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in, I haven't played enough, and the game is over."
Federer looked at Gawain with horror on his face, "Enough is enough, it's really enough. The only thought in my mind is that the game is finally over."
Frankly, sincerely, and with a little joking, Gawain and Federer exchanged glances, and both of them laughed.
Gawain gave Federer a hug, "You deserve this victory, congratulations!"
He was unwilling to give up, but Gawain also truly believed that Federer deserved to win.
Federer hugged Gao Wen deeply and said, "Thank you for being willing to play with me."
One sentence may cause ambiguity and carry a kind of arrogance of a winner, but Federer does not have it. This sentence is full of sincerity, a kind of admiration, a kind of gratitude and a kind of sympathy.
Gawain earned Federer's respect and admiration through this game.
Bang bang!
Gawain patted Federer hard on the back and said, "Please fight all the way to the end."
——Towards the championship.
According to Gao Wen's memory in his previous life, Federer was indeed in excellent form at Wimbledon in 2015, and could vaguely see his peak state. In the end, Federer and Djokovic met in the final.
But at this stage, Djokovic was on the rise and his ability to hold the baseline was unparalleled in the world. Federer was still unable to tear apart Djokovic's dragnet. Finally, in the final, Federer suffered a hard-fought four sets and unfortunately lost, witnessing Djoko Vicki completely dominated the tennis world.
In fact, in the original historical trajectory, Federer did make a full comeback in 2015, but unfortunately lost to Djokovic repeatedly in the championship stage.
After suffering three consecutive losses in the finals, Federer learned from the pain, reorganized his coaching staff, and tried to change his racket surface to reverse the decline of his backhand. After a brief adjustment and pain in 2016, Federer finally achieved a breakthrough in 2017. Reach the Grand Slam title again.
Of course, the trajectory of history is completely different now, everything is changing, and Gawain cannot and is not prepared to predict the future——
He just wished Federer sincerely.
Perhaps, after experiencing the fierce battle in the semi-finals, Federer can inspire high fighting spirit and give 200% energy in the final.
Gawain also waits and sees.
Federer could feel the encouragement and support from Gawain's words, and his smile rose slightly, "Thank you, I need some cheer now."
"Haha, Roger, you should know that countless fans around the world are standing behind you. I don't think Novak will be happy about this."
With just one joke, Gawain made Federer relax and laugh.
The last singles semi-final of Wimbledon in 2015 has finally come to an end, and the lineups for the men's and women's singles showdown at the top of the Forbidden City have all been decided.
Women's singles, "Serena Williams VS Muguruza", Serena Williams will also strive for her second "Serena Grand Slam" great achievement.
Men's singles, "Djokovic VS Federer", the top two seeds met successfully——
At the same time, this also means...the Big Four are still the Big Four.
