On the fourth match day, the Arthur Ashe Stadium schedule was released, which was a little surprise.

The first game, "Federer VS Steve-Darcis".

Game [-], "Wozniacki VS Petra-Cetkovaska".

There is an accident——

Wozniacki overwhelmed Azarenka and Halep to enter the night game, and the market appeal of the Danish beauty was recognized by the US Open.

Of course, there are also surprises——

Gowan entered Arthur Ashe Stadium for the second straight tournament.

Although there is also Fish's bonus, there is no doubt that Gao Wen is the real protagonist.

This point is in direct contrast to the previous three Grand Slams this year, and it deserves to be half a home game.

Generally speaking, in the first two rounds of a Grand Slam tournament, the tournament organizing committee will often prioritize ensuring the diversity of the center court and arrange different games for different top players, including local hopes, topical matchups, Challenger League and Youth Storm. Among the players who are so popular.

Even the Big Four often left center court, briefly allowing the spotlight to shine for other players.

Of course, the Big Four are the Big Four. It is also a high probability that their first two rounds will always be held on the center court, especially Federer and Nadal. A unique treat.

They deserve this honor.

Now, the US Open Organizing Committee has set an example with practical actions——

At least in the North American market, Gao Wen's box office appeal has risen in an all-round way, not only completely suppressing Wawrinka, but also faintly surpassing Djokovic and Murray, and is now able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Federer and Nadal; and because of the refreshing youth storm And win more favors.

Love the new and dislike the old, even in the world of competitive sports. After getting used to the faces of the Big Four, Gao Wen's birth finally changed the status quo.

Naturally, Gawain also won more support.

The thing is that simple.

Applause, one piece.

Countless eyes are once again focused on Arthur Ashe Stadium, and it is more worthy of discussion and attention than any previous second-round match.

The suspense of victory and defeat may lead to a completely different ending——

If Fish wins, there is no doubt that this will be the biggest upset since the start of the US Open, and it will also witness the wildness of the local hero in the final journey.

If Gawain wins, things will be much simpler, and the entire audience will take off their hats and salute Fish, becoming witnesses to the final end of a career.

In other words, no matter what the outcome is, you shouldn't miss it.

Including Gao Wen himself.

As far as Gawain is concerned, although the topic is all focused on Fish's potential retirement, he will not take it lightly.

If Gao Wen thinks that Fish is about to retire and his mind is no longer on the field, he can easily win, then he may stumble, and the final outcome may really be a matter of debate.

From the performance in the warm-up match, it can be seen that facing the brave Murray, Fish did not fall behind, and he did not feel jerky and helpless after a long absence. Show your best performance and show your best performance.As the saying goes, "No one beats the one who really enjoys it."

This is true for performances; the same is true for competitions.

The truth is that simple.

What's more, Fish was already a dangerous opponent.

Although the comparison is not entirely accurate, Fish and Kei Nishikori are slightly similar in some ways-

Grab the rising point.

Fish's game is very aggressive. He is a typical player who is stronger in offense than defense. More often than not, he basically gives up defense to attack in an all-round way. The whole rhythm is compressed very tightly. He often grabs rising points and refuses to retreat to avoid Falling into passiveness, the footsteps are always near the bottom line.

The difference between Fish and Kei Nishikori is that Fish has stronger physical fitness. From serve to forehand, he has more strength. More controllable, the threat factor soars.

Moreover, Fish is very smart in playing the ball. Although he doesn't like calculations, relying on his excellent touch support, he often has surprises in the choice of return routes.

From the perspective of impact and oppression, Fish is better than Kei Nishikori. Although the lower limit is lower, the offense still relies on touch. If you don’t play well, you may lose the game hastily; The pressing and flowing offense is really pleasing to the eye.

For those players who are not familiar with Fish's style, they are often involved in Fish's rhythm before they have time to catch their breath, making it difficult to breathe.

Even Federer and Nadal are no exception. Even if they are familiar with each other, they still need some adaptation and adjustment time every time they meet.

On the contrary, Djokovic and Murray are not afraid of this style. They roll around and go around, changing the rhythm of the round through bottom line fighting, like quicksand, slowly dragging Fish into their habit in the slow pace.

For Gawain, he is not afraid of Fish's style of play, but he needs to adapt to the time, everything is new.

Facts have also proved this point.

"4:6".

Gao Wen, lose one game first.

The cheers at the Arthur Ashe Stadium were not one-sided. They still supported Gawain and applauded for the wonderful round; but when Fish fulfilled the fourth set point and won the first set, the stadium was still insane.

Losing one's mind and madness, it seems that one can really witness the miracle of Fish's career farewell tour, just like Sampras's last US Open, a low-key campaign, but miraculously persisted all the way to the end.

This was the first set Gao Wen lost at the US Open this year.

Is it because Gao Wen took it lightly?Or does the impact of injuries still exist objectively?
No, not at all, purely because Fish really played well.

The batting was fast, flat, heavy and heavy, and the impact of the whole rhythm and power was very obvious; and the first set felt excellent, the key points were aimed at the corners and corners, all the shots were in bounds, and there were quite a few wonderful top five shots .

With no excuses or reasons, Fish won the first set with a superior performance.

Even though Gawain was prepared and went all out, the first set was still inevitably involved in Fish's rhythm. It was not like grass but still had the feeling of a grass game. It was indeed a rare experience.

but.

The reason for the loss in the first set was not just Fish's unilateral performance. After all, this is tennis, and the confrontation between you and me is the focus.

To be precise, it can also be viewed from another angle. The main reason is that in the first set, Gawain failed to suppress Fish's attack, and the quality of his return was not able to limit Fish, so Fish played smoothly.

From all aspects, Fish is not like a player who is about to retire. Gao Wen must be vigilant when he once again shows the talent and ability of a top player.

Otherwise, the trend of the second set is also an unknown.
