Match point

Chapter 1986 Feng Shui takes turns
wonderful!

It’s really exciting, exciting and beautiful!
Everyone is looking forward to a good show, just like the [-]-meter flying contest in the Olympic Games, but real life can always break expectations and bring more surprises. The good show being staged in front of us far exceeds expectations, even if it is just a bystander. My blood started to boil and I couldn't stop at all.

Involuntarily, more and more eyes were focused on it, as if looking forward to a TV series, eagerly looking forward to the next episode.

Second stop, Magic City.

Like the previous event, there were surprises in the first round. This time it was a big surprise, but to be precise, it should be a shock, not much joy.

"Scare" came from Federer. In the first round, he faced the Spanish clay court player Albert Ramos-Vinolas who came up from the qualifying rounds. They fought hard in three sets——

“7：6（4）”、“2：6”、“6：3”。

In the end, Federer was knocked out.

Take a breath!
Although he once again failed to win the [-]th Grand Slam title, Federer's performance this season has remained at a high level. The Asian season and the European indoor hard court season are still Federer's main battlefields. It is worth looking forward to, but I never expected it. After three weeks of layoff, they were eliminated in the first game.

...a silence.

It was so shocking and unexpected that you could even clearly hear the sound of heartbreak.

After all, Federer's global home court is definitely not just talk. In China, the Swiss King still has a huge number of fans. If Federer and Gao Wen meet in Shanghai, it is not known who can win the support of the audience; and now, Federer is eliminated in the first match , it really hurts.

However, the competition will continue.

In fact, Federer's upset elimination did not seriously affect the excitement of the tournament. The Magic City Masters played a week of events that was comparable to a Grand Slam.

Upper half—

Djokovic and Nadal meet in the semifinals.

This is the real surprise!

Djokovic defeated Tomic in straight sets and has not lost a set since the US Open final, showing an unstoppable and fierce momentum.

Nadal defeated Wawrinka in straight sets. Facing Wawrinka, who had just won the Neon Summit last week, Nadal defeated his opponent with a score of "6:2" and "6:1". The whole game was fierce. Suppressed Wawrinka, continued his recovery momentum at the beginning of the Asian season, and entered the semi-finals for the second consecutive week.

Surprise, indeed surprise!
Federer's upset exit was followed by Nadal's recovery. Sure enough, a giant is a giant!
Lower half—

Murray and Gawain meet in the semi-finals.

Murray defeated Dimitrov in three hard sets. This defeat was very regrettable for Dimitrov because he had two match points in the third set, but unfortunately he failed to cash in. In the end, Murray won Won the third match point and quickly recovered after experiencing a tragic loss in New York.

Gauvin defeated Tsonga in straight sets. For this rematch in Toronto, both players had something to prove, but in the end it ended with Gauvin's victory. In the second set, Tsonga had a set point. But at the critical moment, Gawain was still superior and won the victory simply.

Indeed, Federer's upset exit was very, very disappointing, but I never expected that in the last four, the three giants plus the new giants would meet up——

This is the new giant feast.

The semi-finals of the Magic Masters are even more exciting than the US Open.

Subsequent games also proved that no matter how much applause or high expectations are, it is worth it. The four giants once again provided top quality in two games.

The first game, "Djokovic VS Nadal".

“6：4”、“2：6”、“7：5”。

Nadal grabbed a set from Djokovic. This was also the first set that Djokovic lost in the entire Asian season. However, Djokovic still improved his condition in the final set and thrillingly won at the last moment. Completed the break, defeated Nadal, and entered the final for the second consecutive week.

The real surprise, however, was Nadal.

Although he was stopped in the semi-finals for the second consecutive week, facing the unstoppable Djokovic, Nadal also showed competitiveness on the hard courts where his opponent was good at. Not only did he win a set, but he also fought hard until the last minute in the deciding set. , finally recovered after a terrible season.The second game, "Murray VS Gawain".

"6:1", "6:3".

Gawain, straight sets.

Murray's loss was not unexpected, but such a clean defeat was very unexpected.

After the game, Murray also said that he still needs time to adjust his condition. He did not keep up with Gawain's rhythm in this duel. He was very dissatisfied with his performance and needed to make a summary; of course, the most important thing is Gawain's touch is fiery and he maintains his top level.

Thus, the final lineup was determined——

"Djokovic VS Gauvin 6.0" is already the sixth final this year alone.

It was also said last week that the "Gaode Showdown" should continue and become the most important set of confrontations this season, and it will be staged again in a blink of an eye.

Live up to expectations!

In the past, there were giants joining forces with the semi-finals, and later there was a repeat of the Australian Open and US Open finals. This year's Magic City Masters was indeed in line with expectations and was exciting.

So what about this time?

Djokovic wins consecutive games against Gawain for the first time in his career?Or will Gawain fight back and regain the upper hand?

"6:4", "6:4".

Straight sets!It's a simple score again, but this week, the winner is... Gawain.

The audience is boiling!
at last!

The irrational fanaticism swept the whole place!
Finally, for the first time in history, a Chinese player won the Magic Masters Championship, filling the most incredible piece of the tennis map!
This victory not only witnessed Gao Wen’s fourth Masters championship trophy in his career, but also the first time in his career that he defeated Djokovic in a straight score. He first swept Murray and then defeated Djokovic in a straight score. , this is definitely more than just revenge for last week’s loss.

On the land of Magic City, under the witness of the home audience, Gawain proved himself with an unparalleled performance——

The fifth giant!

It's not a gimmick or a hype.

After defending the US Open championship, there was a lot of discussion about the "fifth giant". Gao Wen suddenly reached a new height, and his out-of-the-ring index hit a new high.

However, the heights are extremely cold.

How turbulent the support is, and how crazy the opposition is. Murray's title of "giant" is still facing numerous doubts and sieges to this day, not to mention Gao Wen, a second-year kid?

But now, Gawain once again proved himself with practical actions and issued a declaration——

One championship is not enough?
It doesn't matter, just get another one.

Like Djokovic, Gao Wen is not afraid of competition and challenges. Not only is he not afraid, but he also enjoys it with high morale. Last week, he lost to Djokovic in a straight score. This week, he broke out with hundreds of blows in a single turn. Two hundred percent of the energy, responded in the strongest and most positive way.

Thus, history was born.

The first local player champion in the history of Chinese ATP level events finally reached the top.

Although we just witnessed Gao Wen making history and defending the US Open last month, the popularity of the Magic Masters champion this time is only high, sweeping the entire network.

So, what’s next?How will the plot of the next episode develop?
