Chapter 1156 Double Crown Feat
Ah!
Gawain roared out, not only with joy and happiness, but also with the exhilaration and freedom after burning to the extreme, full of excitement.
Ahhh! He did it, he really did it, beating the world number one for the third time in a row, and this was the toughest one, even more so than the Australian Open final.
He could clearly feel that the game was becoming more and more difficult, the challenges were becoming more and more severe, and the double-team of wolves in front and tigers behind was changing every matchup.
but!
He still did it, delivering top performances for four consecutive weeks and putting a perfect end to it by defeating Federer and Djokovic.
“Ahhhh!”
Gawain, supporting his body with his hands, jumped high, unable to control his emotions, and the roar was completely released from the depths of his soul.
The whole audience was excited.
Can anyone believe it? Gawain actually defeated Djokovic three times this season. This is the first time in two years that someone has defeated the world No. 1 three times in a row since Nadal in 2013.
Can anyone believe it? "Killing the world's number one three times" was not the most surprising and unexpected feat of this game. Surprisingly, this victory meant much more.
From Indian Wells to Miami, Koeman defeated the world's second and first players to reach the top, winning the "Sunshine Double" for the first time in his career; moreover, Koeman became the youngest player ever to accomplish such a feat. The 19-year-old is writing history.
Go one step further! In Paris, Indian Wells and Miami, Gawain won three consecutive Masters titles, becoming the first player in history to complete a hat trick after winning the first Masters. In addition, he faced Djokovic twice and Federer once in the three finals, which was very impressive.
If we say that 2014 was the year when Gao Wen emerged, even though he won the US Open and the Paris Masters, and even though he reached the finals as a substitute, there was still a lot of discussion and criticism that he was "unworthy of the position", and it seemed that he could never get rid of the label of "dark horse".
Then, 2015 was the year when Gao Wen gradually matured. He proved himself and conquered the fans with one victory after another, one championship after another - more importantly, his top performance against the Big Four. He has become a phenomenal player and can finally take off the hat of "dark horse".
The most direct proof is that Gao Wen has become a challenge target for young players, just like the "post-90s" players are aiming at the Big Four.
Cilic, Rublev, Zverev, and so on. There will be more and more young players emerging in the future. No one can ignore Gao Wen.
The transformation from "challenger" to "defender" was completed in just a few months, once again witnessing Gao Wen's fierce rise.
in addition!
With the conclusion of the Miami Masters, the first quarter schedule of ATP in 2015 has come to an end, and the spring hard court season has come to an end.
Next, like the ATP and WTA, they will both enter the clay and grass seasons, opening a new chapter and switching to different tournament channels.
The competition among the heroes in the first quarter is clear at a glance——
Gao Wen, riding far ahead.
Doha, Melbourne, Indian Wells, Miami, four championship trophies, completing his personal spring hard court season Grand Slam after Federer and Djokovic. He conquered the court with his unparalleled performance and also conquered the fans. He is undoubtedly the most popular star in tennis.
Can anyone believe it?
Before the opening of the new season, everyone was looking forward to the melee of competition among many heroes and contending schools of thought, and Gao Wen was definitely an important member who could not be ignored; but at the end of the first quarter, Gao Wen took the lead with absolute advantage, writing page after page of history and completely subverting the situation.
Is all this true?
Even Gawain himself couldn't believe it.
After a brief release, Gao Wen immediately trotted to the net, where Djokovic was already waiting.
By this time, Djokovic had regained his composure.
Perhaps, he is still not satisfied with his performance; perhaps, the bitterness of three consecutive defeats is harder to swallow than ever; perhaps, Gawain's growth rate is still beyond expectations.
But, a game is a game.
Regardless of whether they can face it calmly, they need to respect their opponents and themselves, and then prepare for the next meeting, because this is not the end.
These disappointments, these pains, these depressions will all become the driving force to defeat your opponents in the future, and will also become the driving force to motivate yourself to make progress.
"Congratulations, it was a wonderful game." Djokovic held Gawain's right hand, patted Gawain's back gently and smiled.
Although he could not hide the disappointment between his brows, Djokovic still looked Gawain in the eyes and gave his best wishes.
Gao Wen nodded slightly and smiled politely, "We all fought until the last moment."
Admit it or not, the relationship between Gawain and Djokovic is slightly different.
They met six times in total, three finals and three semi-finals. Each time was a crucial stage of the competition, and the weight of victory and defeat was unusual.
Moreover, the sparks of interaction on the field also continued outside the field, and the sensational gossips repeatedly became the handles of reporters to create conflicts.
The results of each encounter, the trivial details, the pressure of winning or losing, and the sense of competition will further intensify the relationship between each other.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
So far, the two sides have played against each other six times, and Gao Wen has maintained an absolute advantage of five wins and one loss. Since Djokovic won the Australian Open championship for the first time, he has not been so embarrassed for a long time, even when facing the other Big Three, let alone after becoming the world's number one.
Victory and defeat, although professional tennis players must get used to any outcome of the game, there is a difference between the two.
A little bit, then a little bit more, and finally, the energy was released, and the mentality of both players had an impact to a greater or lesser extent.
Perhaps, they cannot be considered enemies, there is respect and admiration between the two players.
But one thing is for sure, they are definitely not friends.
then--
After a brief handshake and a nod, the two men didn't communicate any further. They both turned around, officially ending the game.
"4:6", "6:4", "7:6(3)".
Gawain, another win.
Back in the stadium, Gawain felt unreal. He looked up to find his own player box amid the hustle and bustle of the stadium. He cast his eyes: Won? Did I really win? Sunshine Double? Sampras and Pelt were high-fiving and celebrating, totally unaware of Gawain's gaze, having their own little party.
Agassi stood up and applauded, keeping a distance from Sampras, looking at Gawain with satisfaction on his face, then nodded slightly to express his affirmation to Gawain.
From a dark horse, to a battle-tested challenger, and then to a reborn strongman, Gao Wen has come all the way, step by step, not only steadily but also determined, and finally achieved the top, officially occupying a place in the turbulent world of men's tennis and achieving brilliant success.
Gao Wen could feel the affirmation in Agassi's eyes. A smile blossomed at the corner of his mouth, and the joy and happiness from the bottom of his heart surged.
victory!
Sunshine double crown!
