Match point

Chapter 900 Sincerely
“6：2”、“6：1”、“7：6（5）”。

Straight sets!

Among the quarter-finals of the 2015 Australian Open, the most watched and hottest matchup, "Gao Wen VS Nadal", was finally won by Gao Wen.

Since last year's Australian Open, the main theme of "Big Four VS Challengers" has been running through, and it has continued until this year. Further, but Wawrinka and Gao Wen still proved themselves.

At this time, after the US Open, Gao Wen entered the semi-finals for the second consecutive Grand Slam tournament, and he appeared like a comet, proving that he is not a shooting star.

What is even more amazing is that so far, Gao Wen still has not lost a set, which is consistent with Djokovic, Berdych and Murray.

Whether facing the impactful Tomic and Kyrgios, or facing the Big Four's Nadal, Gao Wen swept through with a perfect performance.

Undoubtedly, this also marks the strong rise of Gao Wen. He is no longer a "dark horse star born out of nowhere", but a top player who has truly gained a foothold in the top ranks. The "post-90s" players are still on the rise. "Post-95" players have already started to show up one after another, and the men's tennis scene is indeed getting better and better.

Next step?
In the semi-finals, Gao Wen will face Murray, who has already swept the promotion earlier, challenging the Big Four for the second consecutive game and hitting the final seat.

"Gao Wen VS Big Four 2.0" has been launched.

This should be another exciting matchup.

The reason why people like the Big Four is that challengers come on stage one after another and attack the Big Four, but the Big Four can always improve themselves with better and more exciting performances, and after resisting the impact, they are finished. Metamorphosis, evolved into a more powerful form.

From Federer's sweep of thousands of troops, to Federer and Nadal's double-dragon hegemony, to Djokovic breaking the balance and forming a new three-legged stand, and finally to Murray's transformation to the top.

The "Big Four" were not formed from the very beginning, but developed step by step in more than ten years. People like the legends of Federer and Nadal, but at the same time, people also look forward to Djokovic. The addition of Qi and Murray completes the reshuffle.

Now, too.

If Wawrinka or Gawain, or Raonic, Dimitrov and other players can break the deadlock again and become the fifth pole, then the fans will definitely welcome with hands and feet.

However, the problem is that the fan base of the Big Four is strong, and as the years go by, it becomes thicker and firmer, and the challenges that follow-up challengers need to face are becoming more and more severe. They want to become the "fifth pole" , is definitely not an easy task.

The only thing that is certain is that for true tennis fans, it is a pleasure to appreciate such a process, witness, participate and enjoy such a process.

So, can Gao Wen do it?Like Del Potro in the 2009 US Open and Wawrinka in the 2014 Australian Open, have you defeated two giants in a row in the same tournament?
It is worth mentioning that in the second half of last year, Gao Wen lost a total of four games, Nadal, Simon, Murray, Djokovic.

Now, Gao Wen successfully defeated Nadal, and the next match is about to face Murray, which is obviously another tough battle.

From this point of view, Gao Wen's draw is still hard. It is different from the US Open, but it is also hard.

However, this is already a story.

For Gao Wen, enjoying the victory of this game was the point, the only point.

"Hahaha……"

Laughter, involuntarily surging in the chest, settled from the corner of the mouth to the bottom of the eyes, then turned around, looked at the scoreboard, and confirmed the answer again.

Inadvertently, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Nadal who was waiting patiently in front of the net. He also noticed Gao Wen's movements and smiled.

Gao Wen scratched his head, and quickly walked up to him, "Sorry, I still can't believe it, I need to confirm with my eyes that I am not dreaming."

Sincerely, frankly.

Nadal was amused. After getting along with Doha, he knew that the young man in front of him was humorous, and his upright attitude always made people like him.

However, Nadal didn't say much, just made an action:
He raised his right hand high.

Gao Wen's eyes lit up. This was the first time that Nadal took the initiative to celebrate their doubles. The action at this moment is even more special.

Gao Wen strode forward, raised his hands for high fives, lowered his fists, and then the two of them bumped their shoulders to complete the celebration, just like in Doha.

Compared with words, the emotions conveyed by body language and facial expressions are always more vivid and delicate, and everything is spoken.

Then, Nadal enthusiastically opened his arms, hugged Gao Wen, and patted Gao Wen's chest heavily, "Congratulations, you deserve this victory."

"Thank you." Gao Wen was not humble, "I tried my best, and I cherish every opportunity to stand opposite the net with you, but this time I seized the opportunity."

It's not the aggressiveness of the winner, nor the pride and complacency of the winner, but a kind of openness and self-confidence, and the eyes are full of sincerity.

Nadal also raised the corners of his mouth following Gao Wen's smile, but he didn't say anything more, not because he was disappointed, but because he didn't want to take away the lights and applause that belonged to Gao Wen. Now should be the moment for Gao Wen to enjoy the victory , "You deserve it. The side that performs better wins."

After speaking, Nadal patted Gao Wen's chest heavily, and then gave way a little, signaling Gao Wen to shake hands with the referee first.

After the two shook hands with the referee, Nadal returned to his player's rest area, quickly packed his luggage, and gave the stage to Gao Wen.

In fact, losing is not good at any time, even after staying in the professional tour for ten or twenty years, and the loss tonight is even more bitter.

In Melbourne Park, Nadal has always lacked a little luck.

However, Nadal has no regrets, he tried his best until the last moment of the game, and tonight, Gao Wen won the victory with an unparalleled performance, so he will keep the bitterness to himself, and then sincerely serve Gao Wen Applause.

Nadal, leaving, waved to the audience.

Applause, thunder.

Turning around, Nadal could see that Gao Wen also kept standing, with bright eyes and a smile on his face, applauding his departure.

There was a trace of sadness in Nadal's eyes, but his smile still bloomed, and he also applauded Gao Wen, and without stopping, he turned around and strode away from Rod Laver Stadium.

clap clap.

Boom boom boom!
The audience burst into applause, in the warmest and most sincere way, to welcome the departure of a fighter, a fighter and a brave man. On this court, Nadal left too many regrets, but he never gave up , Strutting to Melbourne Park, also swaggering away.

Because he has no reservations, so he can have no regrets.
