Chapter 1240 The more he played
, the smoother it became. Mike turned his head slightly and looked across the court. He calmed down and the whole process of the game became clear. Everything became clear.
Gawain set a trap, but they were completely unaware of it and stepped into it foolishly. The first set ended in this way.
This is really...
Across the court, Mike could see Gawain's graceful gaze, a bright smile on his face, with youthful flamboyance, as if he was riding a bicycle, letting go of his hands and sprinting at full speed, letting the hem of his shirt flutter in the strong wind, and the breath of sunshine emanating from him from the inside out.
Gawain seemed to have noticed Mike's eyes. Not only did his smile not subside, but it rose even more wantonly. It was not arrogance or provocation, but just pure confidence and determination. That smile and that look were completely blossoming, and even Mike became excited.
Sure enough, Gawain is still the same Gawain.
Mike couldn't help but smile.
Looking away, Mike saw Bob with a helpless look on his face, seeming a little frustrated.
Compared to Mike, Bob always has ups and downs and his mood swings are more obvious.
Since the opening of the new season this year, they have been slow to find their form. They themselves are aware of the worries about their age and the ups and downs of their form better than anyone else. The heavy pressure on their chests and shoulders is always lingering, and even they cannot help but begin to doubt themselves.
After coming from Houston to Monte Carlo, they still couldn't fully adapt to the clay, which made Bob feel even worse.
call.
Mike let out a long breath, supported himself with his racket, stood up again, took a step towards Bob, then bumped his twin brother with his shoulder and complained harshly.
"What? You're running out of steam, are you ready to surrender? It seems like you're already preparing for Gawain's future humorous jokes."
In fact, the Bryan brothers are already 37 years old. Whether they are willing to admit it or not, their careers are already entering their final stages and could end at any time.
For the Bryan brothers, they have had countless glories and written countless histories. They have already left their own mark in the professional tennis world. Therefore, they have no need to regret. At the end of their careers, they should really enjoy tennis and rediscover their original happiness and joy.
If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have started in the first place. I wouldn't have switched to doubles after failing in singles, and I wouldn't have continued to fight until I was 37.
Tennis has brought them so much, including victories and championships, happiness and sadness, struggles and breakthroughs. Next, they should learn to enjoy it.
At least, that's how it seemed to Mike.
Of course, Mike still longs for victory. No one can resist the taste of victory, but there should be more than victory.
However, these words didn't work for Bob, so Mike chose a method that suits Bob.
really!
Bob's eyes suddenly widened: losing the game is not the end of the world, but giving up the game is definitely a shame.
Moreover, Bob was not ready to give up the victory, the game was not over yet!
Lose?
What is that? Is it edible? Bob glared at Mike. "What did you say? I don't understand."
A smile appeared in Mike's eyes. Perhaps, this game could be a turning point in their season and help them regain the mentality of enjoying the game.
Mike replied calmly, "I don't know who was the one with the dejected look on his face just now, as if the world was about to end."
"Who? Who are you talking about?" Bob immediately played dumb, straightened his back, looked around, but found no scapegoat. When he turned around again, he found that Mike had returned to the dugout on his own. He hurriedly followed him in small steps, muttering to himself an excuse.
"You mean yourself?"
"Mike, cheer up! Cheer up, the game isn't over yet."
"It's not like you to throw your hands up after one game, Mike."
"Why, are you upset by that high-pressure shot just now?"
"Haha, Mike Bryan, you have come to this day."
…
And so, Bob just couldn't stop talking.
Bob was talking during the entire break. Even though Mike didn't respond, it didn't affect the classmate's good mood. He kept muttering to himself.
It was not until the referee announced the end of the break and the second set was about to begin that Bob hurriedly took two big gulps of water to moisten his dry throat, trotted after Mike, and returned to the court to continue the game, but his mood had obviously regained its relaxed mood.
Things turned out just as Mike expected.
The positive and proactive atmosphere of the game created by Gawain and Dimitrov successfully brought positive effects, and the Bryan brothers also regained their long-lost passion.
In the second set, both sides successfully held their serve at the beginning.
Moreover, neither side gave away break points, the entire match situation gradually stabilized, and the rounds became more exciting, triggering cheers from the audience.
Stay relaxed, stay engaged, focus your mind and concentration, and in this state, you will often be able to perform incredible rounds.

It is also because of this that incredible shots can often be seen in exhibition matches.
Both the Gawain duo and the Bryan brothers seemed to have entered this state, presenting a top-notch showdown for the audience at Court No. 1.
In the second game, Bob was serving and leading 30:0, but in the next ball, it was the Gao-Wen combination that took the advantage.
Dimitrov volleyed a wonderful little ball in front of the net, and the ball fell sharply over the net. The delicate technique that suddenly inspired him showed people Federer's style. The force unloading, line, landing point, and timing were all perfect. The ball even continued to turn outward after landing, and the strong outward rotation further increased the difficulty.
Absolutely wonderful!
Everyone was amazed at Dimitrov's beautiful shot and was about to score, but Bob did not give up.
He rushed to the goal in a 100-meter sprint like a wild horse, and finally used his forehand wrist to make a strong side spin just a millimeter before the tennis ball was about to jump twice. The tennis ball went around the post and returned to the court, incredibly landing in the empty area behind Dimitrov.
Score, belongs to the Bryan brothers.
"40:0".
After finishing the shot, Bob sat down on his butt, sitting flat on the ground in the same obedient posture as if eating fruit in a row, splashing a piece of red soil.
The whole audience was shocked. Dimitrov played beautifully, but Bob saved the ball even better.
Even Bob himself couldn't believe it and his face was full of shock. In practice and in competitions, he might not succeed in hitting the ball even if he tried a hundred times, but he succeeded today?
Bob was stunned: What's going on? Am I possessed by Nadal?
At the end, the whole audience stood up and applauded.
Dimitrov simply walked around the net, stretched out his right hand, helped Bob stand up, and even hugged Bob. Both of them laughed.
At the same time, Gao Wen and Mike also celebrated by high-fiving across the net, congratulating each other for this wonderful point.
This goal is undoubtedly at the level of the top five goals of the day.
From strong confrontation to collision of inspiration, both pairs showed their top abilities in this point, once again interpreting the charm of doubles matches.
But this is just the beginning.
