Match point

“比赛（game），高，’6：4’、’6：7’、’7：6’、’6：1’……”

The referee has announced the final score.

Tim, standing where he was, was slightly taken aback.

At the last point, Tim tried to fight, but the one-handed backhand could no longer keep up with the speed and rhythm. The explosion was still explosive, but the hitting point could not be grabbed. The return shot with a diagonal line was obviously out of bounds, and the whole game was sent out neatly.

So, is this the gap?
In three hours and 23 minutes, by the end of the game, Tim's entire game was out of control, and his physical exhaustion led to a complete collapse; however, Gao Wen was still able to maintain the quality of his shots and tactical layout, and his advantages became more and more obvious. Dust rushed to the end of the victory.

Moreover, in the four rounds, Gao Wen's scores all reached "six". It can be seen from the side that the whole situation has not escaped Gao Wen's control.

For laymen, titles such as "World No. [-]", "Grand Slam Champion", and "Masters Champion" are often just a symbol of a halo, and it is difficult to accurately judge how strong such a player is, even if others It is difficult to have a concrete concept for everything.

However, for professional players, it is very simple -

Standing on the court and playing a formal game, everything will become clear.

The gap exists objectively; and it is very clear, even more obvious than I imagined.

Originally, Tim thought he would be frustrated, disappointed and sad, not only because of losing to Gawain, but also because he was defeated again at Roland Garros.

It was the second round again.

On the grand slam stage that he dreamed of, he stopped in the second round for two consecutive years, and he has not been able to usher in a breakthrough for a long time. Such a defeat is bitter.

However, when such a moment really came, Tim found that it didn't.

To be precise, Tim has a lot of drive.

He deeply realized that since he already knew the existence of the gap in strength, the next step was to have a clear goal, devote himself to training, and strive to keep up with the pace.

Tim can't wait to go back to the training ground, continue to train, continue to sweat and keep his feet on the ground.

The future is just around the corner.

Looking down at his racket, and recalling the last backhand shot again, Tim made a slight swing and gestured twice.

When he raised his head again, Tim trotted all the way to the front of the net, showing a big smile, and opened his arms early, waiting for Gawain to come over.

From a distance, Gawain saw Tim's movements, deliberately showed a terrified expression, stopped in his tracks, and then looked around in horror.

No words are needed, one action is enough, and the audience at the Philippe Chatier Stadium burst into laughter.

Tim, an honest man, also laughed with everyone, but he still didn't flinch, and indicated with his eyes that he was still waiting.

Then, the smile on the corner of Gao Wen's mouth also rose, and he took a step forward, trotting all the way to the net, and gave Tim a big hug.

boom!
Bang bang bang!
Tim's bear hug was solid and heavy, almost beating Gawain's back like a drum.

"Dominic, stop! Stop, stop! If you hammer again, I will vomit blood." Gawain joked.

Tim quickly let go of his hands and apologized repeatedly, "Sorry, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to."

After a little distance, Tim saw the narrow smile on Gawain's face——

Obviously, this is a prank.

But Tim is such a well-behaved boy. He fell for the same trap once, twice or three times, but he would continue to fall for it the fourth time.

Unfortunately, he met Gao Wen, a bad friend, so the pranks continued one after another.

Tim looked at Gao Wen helplessly, "In today's game, you crushed me into countless pieces. Why, don't you allow me to take revenge?"

Rarely, I also saw Tim joking.

Gao Wen immediately put on a cute face, "Yes, yes, yes, otherwise, give me another hammer?"

As he said that, Gao Wen raised his head and chest, and hit his chest twice with his fist, showing a righteous expression on his face, as if he was about to die.

In terms of eloquence, Tim was naturally not Gao Wen's opponent. After all, he couldn't hold back and laughed, but he still punched Gao Wen's chest with his right hand.

"One, one is enough."

"However, today's game was indeed beautiful, congratulations!"

"Continue to win, I still expect you to go further."

In the first sentence, Gawain was about to interrupt Tim and continue joking, but the latter words made Gawain swallow the words on his lips.

Thiem is so genuine and sincere, on and off the court, consistently, maybe he lacks a little sense of humor and seems too serious to be entertaining at all times; Sincerely, all the blood is poured on it.

This focus and dedication is also awe-inspiring.

So, Gao Wen didn't continue joking, but raised his right hand, flattened it into a palm, and gave Tim a high five, and said equally sincerely.

"Believe me, Dominic, today is just the first time, and we will meet more and more in the future. In order to ensure that I can have the last laugh every time, I will work hard and continue to sprint."

"Attention, hurry up and keep up, don't be left too far behind."

Just one sentence also made Tim's blood boil.

Shake hands, hug.

Then, Tim walked to the referee first, shook hands and then returned to his player's rest area, leaving the stage, and the next moment belonged to Gao Wen.

clap clap clap...

clap clap clap!
Applause, sounded, and then climbed steadily.

When Tim was about to leave the stadium, he suddenly discovered that Gao Wen was calling on the audience to applaud him——

Perhaps, the fourth set was not satisfactory, and Tim's physical strength and mentality fluctuations exposed his weaknesses. Gao Wen seized the opportunity and opened up the gap in an instant.

But there is no doubt that the brilliance of the first three sets is definitely the highlight moment since the start of the French Open this year, and Tim deserves this wave of applause.

Tim, his nose is slightly sore——

This is his dream stage, this is his dream event, he is so honored to be able to join hands with Gao Wen to complete such a competition.

After a little sadness, there is more happiness and joy, because Tim believes that this is just the beginning, and he will have the opportunity to return to this stadium in the future.

Tim also raised his hands and applauded Gawain from a long distance away, then retreated all the way, left the court, and left the stage to Gawain.

Behind him, the tide was rising, and the applause erupted with more turbulent and fanatical energy, and the rolling heat wave of the mountains and tsunami was finally released without reservation.

clap clap clap!
Boom boom boom!
In his line of sight, Agassi could see the standing figures of Philippe Chatrier Stadium full of people. This was obviously not the first time he saw such a scene, and there was nothing to make a fuss about; but Agassi had a positive premonition that Gawain was using Conquer here in your own way—

Conquer the arrogant and demanding Parisian audience.

Perhaps, he and Sampras' memories of Roland Garros can be rewritten, and this time, they should like it more.
