Match point

Pu Lan stared at the screen quietly, his heart had forgotten to beat.

Gao Wen raised his head high, raised his head and chest, and walked towards the net step by step. He was exhausted and exhausted. He could hardly lift his footsteps. Every footprint could feel the weight of a thousand catties, but he was still moving forward, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. A shallow smile, a little relieved.

But...but, looking at Gao Wen's smile, the brighter it is, the more disappointed it is. The stubbornness and pride in his bones refused to face failure with his head down, but he still couldn't hide the reluctance in his eyes.

Then, Gao Wen came to the front of the net and stood still. He didn't bother Wawrinka who was clenching his fists and screaming wildly in celebration. He just stood there and watched quietly, giving Wawrinka the stage and the spotlight.

In the next second, the live broadcast of the TV had already switched, focusing on Wawrinka who was celebrating wantonly, and the entire Philippe Chatier stadium stood up collectively, and the mighty applause burst out with incredible energy.

Mountains and tsunamis.

The crowd boiled.

Pulan, froze—

She tried to find Gao Wen in the screen, even though she knew it was futile, if the live broadcast camera was not aimed at Gao Wen, she would not be able to see it.

However, she is still searching, she is still searching in the corners of the picture, and she is still searching in the boiling sea of ​​people.

I quickly found the remote control, and looked for Gao Wen on different sports channels, such as Sky Sports, Eurosport [-], Australia's Channel Nine, NBC, etc., and then went around and returned to the French TV Sports Channel ...

No.No.still none.

All the TV stations were broadcasting Wawrinka's red-faced, red-faced and bright-smiling celebration scene, but no one paid attention to Gao Wen who lost the game.

Pulan broke down uncontrollably.

why?
When a game is over, all the halos, all the praises, all the eyes are all focused on the winner, but no one pays attention to the loser's joys and sorrows——

There is no doubt that this is a wonderful game, and it may even surpass this year's Australian Open final and become the most worthy replay game of the year. Such a peak match requires the perfect performance of the two players to achieve it. It would not be possible without either party.

Wawrinka won beautifully, but without Gawain's counterattack and Gawain's confrontation without Gawain's hard work, the final victory would not have been so hearty and exciting, winning the applause of the audience.

All the spotlight, however, belongs to Wawrinka.

So, what about Gao Wen?

Pu Lan wanted to see Gao Wen, right now, right now.

The heart swelled uncontrollably, the thoughts overflowed, it was too turbulent and hot, so that the chest began to ache, and I couldn't control it anymore.

So Pu Lan threw away the remote control, took the key, and rushed out the door like a tornado. She wanted to see Gao Wen like never before.

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The Philippe Chattier Stadium was plunged into an earth-shaking commotion, and the roiling heat wave was rampaging mightily. If you look around, you can see excited, even distorted faces.

This is also their carnival——

How honored they were to be able to witness this match with their own eyes. Although all eyes were on the giant matchup in the upper half before the game, there was no doubt that this matchup brought unexpected surprises.

Two challengers, two new Grand Slam champions, two leaders who overturned the era of giants, made their voices with unparalleled performance:
In addition to the giants, there are more worthy of attention and anticipation. ATP is ushering in a wonderful era in which a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom.

In particular, the two players defeated Federer and Nadal to advance to the semi-finals, which destroyed people's dreams and illusions of the giants joining forces. On the Huashan sword in "Fei Na Jue".

Today, at the Stade Philippe Chartier, they became witnesses.

No one can be an exception.

Including the staff in the players' lounge, as well as Djokovic and Murray——

They have been waiting, and have warmed up for the third time back and forth, witnessing this game pushed to a new level time and time again.

They understand the fierce confrontation better than the audience than the fans. At the same time, they also understand the state of the two players. The two exchanged a line of sight. Before the first duel comes, they need to decide the outcome.

High fighting spirit and boiling blood blazed deep in the eyes, and the peak duel between Gawain and Wawrinka also inspired the energy of the two of them——

Since the two challengers who are not good at clay courts joined forces to dedicate such a wonderful duel, how can the two giants who have remained undefeated in the clay court season show weakness?
They, too, are ready.

Sight, both of them looked at the court again, and the two of them had also entered a fighting state.

On the court, Wawrinka had finished celebrating, and ran all the way to the net, and then he could see Gawain waiting there with a smile on his face.

Sincere, pure, frank.

Those eyes are so clear and so clean, the celebration from the heart without a trace of impurities, and even took the initiative to open his arms to make a hug gesture.

Wawrinka stepped forward quickly, and also opened his arms to give Gawain a big hug.

Wawrinka tried to say something, but found that words could not express his emotions at all. Thousands of words surged in his chest, with excitement, emotion, happiness and regret——

It's a pity that there can only be one winner in a game, but Gao Wen's performance in this game deserves all praise and admiration, respect from the bottom of his heart.

But what should he say?

Wawrinka just hugged Gawain hard, then patted Gawain's back heavily with his left hand, patted hard, paused and patted again.

it is more than words.

"Congratulations! You deserved the win, God, you did a great job."

Gao Wen's voice came from next to his ear, with a little teasing, but he could still feel the sincerity in the words, those resentment and loss hidden at the end of the words.

Wawrinka opened his mouth, but the words reached his mouth and swallowed again. No language can accurately express his mood at this moment.

So, Wawrinka hugged Gawain heavily again, without opening or speaking, just hugging quietly like this, conveying the most sincere and purest respect deep in his heart with his actions, for Gawain and for this He is very honored to be a part of this contest.

Perhaps, the spotlight falls on his shoulders, but he will never forget the opponent who joined forces with him to complete this contest.

Because Wawrinka knows they made each other great.

This mixture of different emotions weighed heavily on his chest, and finally turned into a hug.

That's all.
