Match point

Chapter 843 Invincible Curse
The 2015 Australian Open kicked off slowly, and the first match day was full of excitement.

The final battle of the day came from the Margaret Court Stadium.

Federer and Sharapova, who played in the night game at Rod Laver Stadium, performed well. Neither player encountered too many challenges and successfully advanced.

The game on the center court ended early, and the fans who watched the game were disappointed. The party was over before it had time to enjoy it.

But the fans who left one after another did not go home, but gathered in front of the big screen outside the Melbourne Park Stadium and continued to watch the game in the open air——

Beer and barbecue, popcorn and sausage, beach chairs and moonbaths, the party goes on because the game isn't over at Margaret Court.

The main axis of the day was performed by two players, Kyrgios and Delpones, and a soul-stirring five-set battle lasted for more than three hours.

When the game ended, it was twelve midnight local time. In the end, Kyrgios, the local darling, defeated his opponent and advanced to the second round.

Melbourne Park, singing and dancing.

For local fans, today is indeed a good day to celebrate:

On the first day of the men's singles field, a total of nine local players played, and finally achieved six wins and three losses. A total of six host players advanced to the next round, including the new generation hope Kyrgios and Tomic. Victory after victory pushed the party atmosphere to a climax.

However, for Huaxia fans, this is a day full of regrets.

In the men's singles arena, Gao Wen advanced strongly.

For a long, long time, men's singles tennis, which had almost no sense of existence, was born like the 110-meter hurdles back then. After Li Na retired, Gao Wen seamlessly became the banner figure of China Tennis. The rising momentum is fierce, and the hot topic remains high.

This is a happy event.

However, the women's singles arena is in a haze.

The women's singles, which has written brilliant achievements time and time again, seems to be in the predicament of talent shortage. After the leader turns around, he loses his backbone.

Previously, the five golden flowers that played in the qualifying round were all annihilated, and no one was able to break out of the encirclement. This also made the number of Chinese women's singles participating in the main match fixed at "six".

After the first day, two more generals were lost.

Both Wang Qiang and Duan Yingying played against unseeded players, and they fought hard in three sets. In fact, they both had opportunities, but unfortunately they were unable to grasp them in the end.

Who would have thought that the men's singles, which has been weak for a long time, will take on a new look because of Gao Wen's appearance, but the women's singles, a traditionally dominant event, will fall into the throes of renewal after Li Na's retirement. Everything came too fast and too suddenly , so that the fans were a little surprised.

There are joys and sorrows, good and bad mixed.

But no matter what, the first match of the Australian Open came to an end. Huaxia fans were disappointed but still full of hope. They set their sights on the second match day——

The first round, continue.

It's a pity...the Huaxia Legion suffered heavy losses.

In the women's singles, both Zheng Jie and Zheng Saisai lost in straight sets and were eliminated in the first round.

The most regrettable thing is that the two players played against unseeded players. In fact, they had great hopes, but they performed poorly in the end, which caused a lot of embarrassment.

In addition, there is... Zhang Shuai.

Because of the curse of winning the first round of the Grand Slam for [-] consecutive times, it caused a small discussion in the fan circle. Every time he appeared on the Grand Slam singles list again, it always attracted a lot of attention. Will this be a good opportunity to break the spell".

However, Zhang Shuai's signing was mediocre this time, and he got the No. 19 seed French player Alize-Cornet (Alize-Cornet).

This is a ruthless character who is particularly catching horses, very playful, and very difficult to deal with——

Last year's Wimbledon, Kornet defeated top seed Serena Williams in three sets in the third round, and achieved two consecutive victories against Serena Williams, creating the best record in a personal Grand Slam.

There is no doubt that this is a hard bone.

In the end, Zhang Shuai was still unable to open up the situation. There were occasional bright spots in the whole game but there was no way to connect them together. He was defeated by a disparate score.

"2:6", "3:6".

With thirteen consecutive losses, Zhang Shuai's embarrassing first-round Grand Slam record is still being refreshed. Even if he doesn't believe in the curse, he still has lingering fears.

After the game, Gao Wen sent Zhang Shuai a message, "This is not the end."

Because Gao Wen had tasted the pain of defeat, at that moment, all reasoning was useless, and the piercing pain and bitterness were enough to defeat all defenses.

Therefore, a fact is more important than truth and futile consolation.

After sending the message, Gao Wen didn't wait for a reply, and went straight to training. His training partner today is Dimitrov:
Yesterday, facing Dustin Brown, Dimitrov easily defeated his opponent with a very convincing performance and successfully advanced to the second round.

So, what about Zhang Shuai?

In fact, after the game ended, Zhang Shuai fell into despair and returned to the waiting room in a daze, completely unconscious, as if he had lost his perception.

She didn't want to touch her mobile phone at all, because she knew that there must be countless condolence text messages and phone calls in it, and those messages were all good intentions, she knew, she knew it all; but these "good intentions" are now for her An ordeal that she had no mood or energy to recover from.

She... just wants to be quiet.

It was not until a long, long time later that I finally regained my sanity, and then confirmed the text messages one by one.

Zhang Shuai was very, very surprised when he saw Gao Wen's text message.

Originally, this sentence was nothing, Zhang Shuai just replied "Thank you", and then turned around and forgot; Gradually, slowly, I felt the power behind the words.

After returning to the hotel, that sentence was still lingering, hesitating back and forth in the hotel room for a long time like ants in a hot pot, and finally, Zhang Shuai picked up his equipment bag again and left the hotel room.

"...Where are you going?" I almost bumped into Wang Qiang when I went out.

"Training." Zhang Shuai said without turning his head, and even ran all the way impatiently.

This is not the end, is it?

So far, the first round of the Australian Open has not been completed, but for the Huaxia Army, the second match day has come to an end.

Eleven female players arrived in Melbourne to participate in the singles competition, but in a blink of an eye, only one seedling was left to make it to the second round.

Not good!

The situation is very, very bad.

It can be clearly felt that from the fans to the CCTV team who came to Melbourne to broadcast, all suffered a heavy blow and their morale was low.

This should be the worst performance of the Chinese Army in Melbourne Park in recent years.

At this time, no one could have imagined that the men's singles field could actually receive good news——

Not Gawain.
