Chapter 1430 The Battle of the Gods of War
"Crack! Rafa!"

"Crack! Gawain!"

At the gate of the Philippe Chattier Stadium, there was a huge crowd of people. Roland-Garros, which had been quiet, started to flow again. Obviously, sitting in front of the TV and watching the game live are two different things. No one wants to miss this game carnival.

At the entrance of the stadium, all are sold out——

Before the start of the quarter-finals, Susan Lenglen's ticket sales exceeded 90%, while Philippe Chatier's ticket sales rate was slightly lower at 80%.

It can be seen from here that Federer's appeal in Paris is still unrivaled. Even if the tournament deliberately arranges this match in Susan Lenglen, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the audience.

Of course, the capacity of the two stadiums is different. Philippe Chartier can accommodate 5000 people, while Susan Langren can only accommodate 1 people. Therefore, in terms of the number of spectators entering the stadium, Philippe Chartier still wins. , but the sense of visual oppression conveyed by the attendance rate is still Susan Lundgren's victory.

However, as the game progressed, during the intermission after the first set, Philippe Chatier's tickets were announced to be sold out, and a large number of spectators poured into the stadium to watch the game one after another.

In a blink of an eye, the audience was full, and they witnessed the excitement of the second set with their own eyes.

It can be clearly seen from the camera lens that Philippe Chatier’s scene is full of vast crowds. Although people have not checked the exact data yet, judging from the scene situation, this game should have set a record——

Refresh the attendance record for the quarter-finals at the Stade Philippe Chartier.

Generally speaking, the grand occasion where the attendance rate exceeds 95% needs to wait until the semi-finals or the finals. Before that, there is always a lack of sparks, even the quarter-finals in which the host players participate.

But today, because of Nadal's appeal, because of Gao Wen's discussion, because of all kinds of pre-match events, and most importantly because of the excitement and suspense of the event, Roland Garros staged an unparalleled grand occasion.

In the second set, Nadal had already got the count and was about to win the victory and take a huge lead in two sets. However, at the end of the set, he witnessed the feat of Gao Wen's Jedi reversal and winning three consecutive games, and came from behind to win.

"6:4", "5:7".

With a big score and a draw, the two players returned to the same starting line, and the best-of-five-set system has entered the best-of-three set system, but the suspense of victory and defeat is still full of infinite possibilities, which also completely detonated the expectations of the fans.

If Nadal wins, he will end the momentum of Gawain's [-]-game winning streak in the Grand Slam, and strongly sound the clarion call for the King of Clay to conquer Roland Garros again.

If Gawain wins, he will give Nadal his second loss at Roland Garros in his career, ending Nadal's journey to the French Open for six consecutive titles.

In other words, no matter who wins in the end, the result will detonate a frenzy of news.

Can't miss it, absolutely can't miss it.

One after another, people headed towards Roland-Garros and gathered towards Philippe Chattier again. Even though the tickets were sold out, the bustling crowd still gathered on the lawn at the entrance of the stadium to watch the live broadcast on the big screen. Stand on the front line and feel the boom.

Crowds of people continue to gather from all directions.

Even people themselves don't realize that Suzanne Lengren next door is holding the Swiss derby between the French favorite Federer and Wawrinka, and everyone's attention is focused on the event in front of them-

The "God of War" between Nadal and Gawain.

Although at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, people had already mentioned the title of "God of War" of Gao Wen, but it was not noisy at that time, and the duel between Nadal and Gao Wen did not trigger such a level of discussion. elegant demeanor.

After experiencing the Australian Open final and witnessing this game again, people deeply realized that Gao Wen's tenacity and fighting spirit are indeed the rise of another God of War.

From the stalemate in the first set to the reversal in the second set, the two players were always fighting and burning. The air around Philippe Chatier was almost ignited, so that the audience also became excited.

Mars--

It is not only reflected in the high-spirited fighting spirit in the desperate situation, but also in the tenacious will in the fierce battle, but also in the surging passion and vitality of peak duels, strong collisions, challenging the limit, always fighting, always fighting, and always burning ...and is always breathing.

Obviously, Nadal is so, so is Gao Wen.

The entanglement and game between you and me are always full of enthusiasm and wanton blooming.

Wonderful, wave after wave, scene after scene——

The Stade Philippe Chartier has gone completely mad.

Crazy for Nadal, burning for Gao Wen, one after another, the spiraling cheers reverberated for a long time, and everyone was cheering for this game.

"Crack! Rafa!"

"Crack! Gawain!"

Treat everyone equally, no brother or sister.

In the third set, it was still anxious, and there was a lot of fun.

At the end of the second set, the two players fought and fought at the bottom of their physical strength. In the end, the young and energetic Gao Wen seized the opportunity to win three consecutive games.

It is generally believed that at the beginning of the third set, this situation is likely to continue. Gao Wen continued to be high-powered and strong, and opened up the gap at the beginning.

But as a bystander I overlooked two things:
First, Gao Wen is also made of flesh and blood, and he is also facing the trough of physical strength. The burning release at the end of the second set caused him to slide to the limit of physical strength faster, even facing the dilemma of extreme physical strength earlier than Nadal.

Second, Nadal's tenacious nerves, if it is an ordinary player, holding four checkpoints and losing three games in a row, being reversed and losing the second set, mentality fluctuations are inevitable, and the third set may collapse as soon as it comes up, but Nadal Dahl won't, calm down—

Nadal will also be frustrated, frustrated and depressed, but his strongest point is that he can always keep his negative emotions in the previous point, and then refocus on the next point, next game or even the next set.

Very, very occasionally, Nadal swallowed a donut in the last set, but came back the next set still rallied, and then went all out to win.

This mentality adjustment ability is indeed an innate tenacity.

Of course, Nadal's physical strength is still a problem, but a new set is a new start, and the layout can be completely reorganized. The situation is naturally different.

Therefore, the third set is different from the first two sets.

Because of the physical constraints, both players focused more on their own serve. Correspondingly, they were more risky in the opponent's serve. If they lost the opportunity, they would not fight desperately——

It's not that giving up confrontation, but that some rounds with slim chances will not continue to burn physical strength to save the ball, which is more reasonable and rational.

Naturally, the entire confrontation and entanglement were relatively reduced a lot.

The most direct thing is that the number of break points has plummeted, while the break rate has skyrocketed——

Nadal got three break points and cashed in once.

Gao Wen won four break points and cashed in once.

Compared with the previous two discs, it is completely different.

However, this does not mean that there will be fewer wonderful rounds. On the contrary, when the two players are physically stretched, eighteen kinds of martial arts are on the stage, and the characteristics of the clay are used to the extreme. A kaleidoscope-like splendor and variety burst forth.
