Match point

Chapter 857 On the Flame Mountain
The sun is scorching hot, shoulders are crowded, and heat waves are steaming in the air, as if even the ground is about to melt.

Yujia stood at the top of the Margaret Court Stadium, looking down from a commanding height, and the dense crowd came and went like ants.

According to official statistics, the passenger flow of Melbourne Park hit a new high today, surpassing 8 for the first time after breaking through 10 yesterday.

For horizontal comparison, there were 7 people on the first match day and 4000 on the second match day.

Overall, the number of spectators in the first week of the event hovered around here, and the fluctuations were relatively small; however, today officially kicked off the prelude to the second week of the event. While the number of games has decreased, the number of intense games worthy of attention has also rise.

Of course, in men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles, local Australian players can continue to compete, which is also an important reason for the increase in the number of spectators.

But everyone knows which game is most worthy of the attention of the home fans today——

Game [-] at Margaret Court Stadium, Nick Kyrgios vs. Gawain.

At this moment, looking around, it is clear at a glance:
Nearby, the gate of Margaret Court Stadium.

Fans in twos and threes gathered together, held up the cards asking for tickets, stood in the sun for several hours, and always refused to leave, just to buy a ticket for the game.

The fans who came and went stopped and chatted happily with them, even if it was not for selling/exchanging tickets, they were willing to stop and discuss for a while.

However, all the tickets for this game have been sold out. This is the first time that the Margaret Court Stadium is full this year. It is really hard to find a ticket——

Previously, the attendance rate of the stadium has always fluctuated from high to low. Spectators holding a one-day viewing pass can enter the stadium freely when the stadium is not full. Also unable to enter.

Now, the original cheapest A$[-] ticket for this game has soared to A$[-] on the black market, and it is still priceless.

As a result, the scene that could only be seen at Rod Laver Stadium before was finally staged at Margaret Court Stadium.

"Kyrgios VS Gao, one, only one."

"Save the kids, I really need a Margaret Court ticket."

"Swap Margaret Court for Rod Laver tickets, speed!"

There are all kinds of strange slogans and slogans, including Chinese, English, and completely incomprehensible words, which are also a beautiful landscape.

In the distance, on the lawn of Melbourne Park.

The bustling crowd spread out, and the front of the huge screen was already full of people, and there was no room to stand. It was comparable to the scene of the Gold Coast's annual vacation season. The sunbathing crowd on the beach even covered up the original appearance of the beach. , full of flesh-colored.

On the big screen, the official international signal of the Australian Open is being broadcast live. The audience cannot choose the game number, but they can watch the live broadcast at a close distance——

Pretend to be on the pitch.

However, compared with watching the game in the stadium, there are also advantages. One is that the scheduling of live cameras can be seen more clearly; the other is that there are fewer constraints.

It is precisely because of this that the noise frenzy in Melbourne Park has obviously risen to a higher level, and the support battle has spread from the inside to the outside.

"Go on, Australia! Let's sing joyously, let this beautiful Australia go on..."

The sound of the wind brought a group of Australians singing loudly, and the surging blue waves created layers of waves, causing waves in the field of vision.

At this time, the mighty blue and the surging red are intertwined, you are in me, I am in you, the bright colors collide and blend, and there are shallow waves under the golden sun, spreading out endlessly , as if waves are kissing the toes of Melbourne Park.

I am afraid that such a scene was unexpected by everyone. Whether it was the Chinese fans who came out one after another, or the Australian fans who came out in droves, they all burst out with unbelievable enthusiasm and energy. In the 38-degree hot weather, Cheers and cheers to the end.

Looking from a distance, it looks like the wind blowing the wheat waves, magnificent and gorgeous.

A whole new day of racing has begun, but with some time to go before the showdown, sparks are already lit along the trails of Melbourne Park.

Bit by bit, layer by layer, piece by piece.

In a blink of an eye, the green ocean bathed in the golden sunlight has transformed into a steaming active volcano, with scorching hot magma spreading all over the venue.

The carnival is happening!
Involuntarily, Yujia also felt his heart surge.

"Yujia, are you here with Margaret Court today? I thought you went to Rod Laver's media center."

A voice came from behind.

Reflexively turned her head to look over, and then Yujia saw a familiar face and greeted with a smile, "Director Zhang."

Zhang Sheng.

CCTV sports commentator.Among the commentators responsible for explaining tennis, everyone has their own characteristics, but Zhang Sheng is the most professional and objective.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to see Zhang Sheng's passion out of control in the game; at the same time, he is often able to put aside his position of supporting players, and carry out explanations and analysis from an objective perspective, rich knowledge and professionalism The perspective has always been affirmed by fans.

Usually, if you turn on the tennis live broadcast, it is the most common situation that Zhang Sheng is responsible for the commentary, and it often happens that he is responsible for the commentary alone in Grand Slam events.

This year's Australian Open, Zhang Sheng and his gold medal partner Wu Wensheng are responsible for the commentary.

"...Is the game over?" Yujia's eyes showed a little surprise.

Zhang Sheng nodded, "Well, I lost, the second set was '6:0', Sharapova is in good form this year."

Just now, Rod Laver Stadium held the second duel in the matinee. Sharapova played against Peng Shuai. This is also a match that the Chinese media focused on.

It is worth mentioning that after the first week of the singles competition ended, two players from Huaxia made it to the second week. On the contrary, only Kyrgios was left in Australia. Such a reversal was also unexpected by everyone. .

Naturally, with the tit-for-tat atmosphere rising steadily, this game has also received more attention.

However, unexpectedly, the whole game progressed very quickly. In less than an hour, Sharapova advanced strongly and only lost three games in the whole game.

Zhang Sheng inevitably felt a little regretful, and raised the cigarette in his right hand, expressing that he needed a little rest time, "Now we are broadcasting the doubles at the Hisense Stadium, and Wen Sheng hits the top with a single mouth."

Then, Zhang Sheng lit a cigarette, joined Yujia's ranks, and quietly watched the splendor and magnificence in front of him.

"It's really spectacular, isn't it? Director Zhang has seen it before?" Yujia couldn't help but sigh.

Even professionals, who have experienced countless storms and witnessed countless historical moments, do not mean they have seen everything and always see new things.

This is also the greatest charm of competitive sports. There are always surprises and surprises, breakthroughs and challenges, and records are always being broken and history is being written.

Zhang Sheng shook his head, without saying a word, just admiring the scene in front of him——

In the face of the magnificence and magnificence of reality, language is so pale, and we can only experience it quietly with our hearts.

　Ninth more.
