Match point

Chapter 846

"The men's singles won the Grand Slam again, and not just one, but two! If you don't break through, you're done, and once you break through, you will be in a row!"

"The two Chinese men's singles entered the second round of the Grand Slam. Surely this is not a dream?"

"But after eating a meal, why did the sky change?"

"Hewitt was the first male tennis player I liked, ah, youthful memories."

"Ahh! I won, I really won! I can't believe it! Gao Wen is finally no longer alone."

incredible!

Unbelievable!

Although Gao Wen had written a miracle last year, the news that Zhang Ze passed the first round of the grand slam seemed trivial, but Zhang Ze joined the ranks of Gao Wen, which finally made Gao Wen no longer alone. , The group advantage also makes the discussion enthusiasm of netizens to a higher level.

Right time and place.

Everything collided together like this, and a chemical reaction happened just right.

In an instant, the attention gathered at the Australian Open broke the charts.

From the popularity of discussions on social networks to the ratings of live TV broadcasts, it can be deeply felt in all aspects that tennis is ushering in the best time.

After years of accumulation and precipitation, it seems that the moment of quantitative change to qualitative change has finally arrived, and then the national carnival will be officially staged.

The most intuitive thing is that the number of Chinese fans going to Melbourne Park to watch the game has increased visibly with the naked eye——

Not only the fans who bought tickets to enter the stadium, but also a large number of fans who could not buy tickets or had no way to buy tickets but still came to the scene to feel the atmosphere and watch the game, filling every corner of the sight, which also made Melbourne Park audience traffic reached a whole new level.

Looking around, between the lush green and the vast and turbulent blue, the bright red of the five-star red flag is the most beautiful scenery.

Just one swipe, like smoke and mist, makes all the green and blue come alive, and the whole world glows with incredible vitality.

There is no doubt that the carnival of Chinese fans is a kind of torture for Australian fans——

Both Gao Wen and Zhang Ze stepped on the shoulders of Australian players to advance.

Quietly, the "war of support" between the two sides spread from the inside of the stadium to the outside of the stadium.

Gunpowder smoke, everywhere.

Although the fans on both sides are still restrained and there is no substantive conflict for the time being, they can already feel the tension in the air.

In Melbourne Park, fans painted their faces with paint, used colors to express their positions, and used flags to gather energy.

When the game is in progress, the waves of cheers and shouts become another battlefield for the confrontation in the air. One or two voices are hoarse, and the vocal cords are used as weapons to start a bayonet duel. The support game is slowly heating up.

It's very, very bad that the home fans have been hit in a row --

From the men's singles to the women's singles, bad news came out one after another.

With Tomjanovich's exit, there are no local players in the lower half of the women's singles draw, and there are still two players in the upper half who are about to debut on the fourth matchday.

In the men's singles field, the two local players who appeared on the matinee were unlucky. They faced the two high-ranked seeds, Murray and Gasquet, respectively, and both lost.

In other words, in the matinee match, the Australian players lost four games and were wiped out.

The joy of the first round of the game two days ago was completely lost in the second round. This is really a heavy blow to the home fans.

What added fuel to all this was that Gao Wen was about to face another local Australian player in the second round:
Sam Gross.

That is, when Gao Wen clashed with the Australian gang in the locker room that day, the one who was more stable, kept on the sidelines, and tried to clean up the mess.

Gross, who is currently ranked No. 80 in the world, is not well-known even among local Australian fans, because he lacks a bright spot worth mentioning in his career, and because he does not belong to the vigorous "post-90s generation". In front of the sharp-edged young generation, he really doesn't have much sense of presence.

Now, even Kyrgios, who was born in 1995, has stepped onto the stage and shined in the Grand Slam. The local media in Australia have already shifted their attention to the younger and more youthful generation. Kyrgios could carry on Hewitt's mantle.

Naturally, Gross was "overwhelmed".

However, in the first round, Gross had a moderate upset.

When the draw came out, Huaxia reporters paid attention to the 5/8 division where Gao Wen was, and could see the relevant matchups at a glance. Their expectations for the second round were——

"Gowin vs Krajinovic".

It was the Serbian rising star who had just returned from injury. Two weeks ago, he partnered with Djokovic in Doha in doubles. As a result, he lost to the partner of Gao Wen and Nadal in the quarter-finals.

If Krajinovic can successfully advance to the second round, then he will face Gawain. This is an encounter, but it can also be regarded as a revenge battle.

worth discussing.

But Gross put an end to that possibility, and the Australian played well in the first round, beating Krajinovic in straight sets.

Thus, Gawain's opponent became Gross.

Originally, Gross' victory did not cause much discussion among the Australian local media. After all, the players themselves, their opponents and the game itself were not much to watch. Kyrgios' five-set night game was the darling of social networks. .

However, more and more eyes are gradually gathering on Gross now——

The home fans are eagerly looking forward to Gross being able to snipe Gawain.

Before the game, didn't everyone say that Gao Wen was the weakest link among the top eight seeds?So, since Gao Wen is the most likely to be upset, why can't Gross be upset?

Under the eyes of everyone, the third match day came smoothly.

Everything, somewhat familiar.

Murray, still at the Margaret Court Stadium, still did not enter the night game, but this time he was squeezed out by Tomic.

Gao Wen was still at the Hisense Stadium, and it was still the last game of the day.

A familiar stadium, a familiar crowd, and at the same time...a familiar victory.

Amidst the boos of the Australian fans, Gao Wen still dedicated his top performance, and when facing players with relatively low world rankings, he gradually showed the aura of a high-ranking seed and firmly grasped the initiative of the game .

“6：3”、“6：3”、“6：1”。

The score was three straight sets, and in the third set, he almost sent a donut.

One of the most outstanding statistics is that Gao Wen sent out [-] break points in the whole game, all of which were recovered, and he did not encounter a single break point.

In the end, the whole game ended in just one hour and 33 minutes.

With no bloodshed, another victory, Gao Wen strode towards the third round with his head held high!

The audience booed farewell, which was the best affirmation of Gao Wen's performance.
