at the same time.

Susan Lengren and the entire Roland Garros could deeply feel this earth-shattering sound wave, and their eyes could not help but look along the source of the sound, carefully capturing the madness and majesty with their hearing, and then closed their eyes. Eyes, depicting the unparalleled grand occasion in the mind.

Federer, who was about to serve, and Wawrinka, who was about to catch the ball, also felt this energy, and both paused, followed by throwing their eyes.

There was a fantastic scene at the Suzanne Lengren Stadium. The game was paused for a moment involuntarily, and all eyes were on Philippe Chartier.

Roland Garros, seething.

At this moment, the spectators who were still wandering in the park gathered towards Philippe Chatier one by two, like believers who came to pilgrimage from all directions. The army of thousands of horses walked in the same direction.

And it's not just the scene?
Even the audience standing in front of the TV was also excited.

Pu Lan regretted it a little. She felt that she should go to the scene to watch the game.

She thought she would be able to maintain a stable mentality by staying at home, but this is not the case. Maybe she is at home now, but her heart has already been stationed in the front row of Philippe Chatier's audience, completely immersed in it, closed You can hear the turbulent echo of the scene with your eyes closed.

"...Papa...papa..."

That is, applause?
"Crack! Rafa!"

"Crack! Gawain!"

In the twinkling of an eye, the audience was covered. In the Philippe Chatier Stadium, no one could be an exception. Even the reporters and the staff members started to mutter one by one. No need to shout, just need Whispering, like a mantra, makes people's hearts surge.

Listen, that's the passion and fanaticism in the air.

"Crack! Rafa! Crack! Gawain!"

After all, Pulan couldn't hold it back, patted his hands lightly, and clapped twice; then, calling that name was not just for one player, but for both sides, for the two players who dedicated the peak duel, to show the competitive sports The two warriors whose infinite charm ignited their fighting spirit.

Perhaps, this is only the second set, and it is far from the moment when the outcome is settled, but every audience can feel that the two players have no reservations; All the energy has become the most perfect footnote for this wonderful duel.

"40: AD".

The break point came up and came up again.

This is already the No. 12 break point that Gao Wen got in Nadal's serve in the whole game—no, Nadal saved one in this round just now, so it should be the No. 13 break point. At the same time It is also the second in this round; however, Gao Wen has so far cashed out zero times.

So what about this time?

On both sides of the court, the two players took a short time to wipe off their sweat, and wiped the red clay on their bodies with towels. They paused for a while to catch their breath. At the same time, they also reorganized their thoughts and prepared for the next point——

Perhaps, the previous point was brilliant, but this point is a new beginning.

Gao Wen may not be able to continue to be strong, and Nadal may not necessarily miss the opportunity again. In fact, this point may not be exciting at all, and it will end in nothingness with a mistake. This is the truth of competitive sports, because , in tennis, the most important thing is always the next point.

Objectively speaking, in today's game, whether it is Nadal or Gao Wen, they all made some simple mistakes. The main reason is that the opponent's pressure is too obvious, and they have to force themselves to pursue perfection and the ultimate. They need to take some risks. Those mistakes It was inevitable, so both players kept missing break points.

But on the whole, when faced with a break point, the two players showed more mature and calm preparations and layouts on their serving ends, and maintained a stable mentality to complete the execution, so the break success rate of the two players was very poor. , mainly due to the outstanding performance of the serving side.

But... a new point, a new start.

Another break point, how will Nadal choose?
