Chapter 1273 Nonsense
Shh!
Wait, where did the booing come from?
Shh! Shhhhhh!
It was sparse and not very noticeable, but gradually became one, and one could clearly feel the audience's dissatisfaction and contempt, and the atmosphere changed instantly.
What's going on?
Gawain and Dimitrov, who were celebrating their victory, were both confused. How did they offend the audience? Why were they booed?
Looking around, they found the answer.
Pospisil.
Pospisil did not accept the result calmly. When Gawain and Dimitrov were celebrating their victory, he walked towards the referee's chair and asked to confirm the landing point.
It can be said that Pospisil did not believe that Gawain's return could land within bounds; it can also be said that Pospisil firmly believed that Gawain's return was out of bounds; it can also be said that Pospisil refused to believe that Gawain won so easily and even gave away a donut to clear the game in the second set.
Of course, this is Pospisil's right. He is fully capable of making such a request, and the referee must respond regardless of whether it is a match point or not.
So the referee came down.
It was this scene that caused some boos, but only from a small group of viewers.
Most of the audience were still cheering and celebrating the incredible match point, and only a very small number of viewers noticed the little episode at the end of the game.
Their reaction was very direct and simple. In their opinion, Pospisil's behavior was a sign of unwillingness to accept defeat and was despicable.
Not just the audience.
Sock was also very surprised by Pospisil's move. He was about to walk to the net to congratulate Gawain and Dimitrov, but he saw his partner's move.
"Vasek..."
Sok called out, but Pospisil didn't even turn around. Although Sok wanted to say something, he didn't say it in the end:
In any case, this is indeed Pospisil's right; moreover, if Gawain's return ball really went out of bounds, it means the game is not over, they still have a chance, and they should not give up the game easily. Sock should stand on Pospisil's side and faithfully play the role of partner.
Sok stood there and waited patiently. He didn't wait too long.
As a result, it came out very quickly.
The referee signaled: Cross the line.
However, Pospisil did not agree with the referee's decision. He protested, insisting that the return ball was out of bounds, and the two had an argument.
This time, more and more people noticed the little episode at the bottom line, and dissatisfaction and contempt gradually spread, so the boos became more and more intense.
Shh! Originally, this should have been a glorious moment for the champion, but now Pospisil has successfully stolen the show, bringing the spotlight back to him.
The referee had already made his judgment, and at Pospisil's request, he checked the landing point for the second time, insisted on his decision, gave a detailed explanation, and said that this was his final decision. However, Pospisil still refused to obey the referee's judgment.
Shhhhh! The sound of hissing is getting louder and louder.
If asking for a check on the landing point is Pospisil's right, then after the referee confirmed that the landing point was on the line, Pospisil's unreasonable behavior was ungraceful.
Combined with the fact that Pospisil voluntarily gave up the chance to hit the ball at the match point, it looked like a struggle to cover up his embarrassment and awkwardness after being angry and humiliated. His persistence, toughness and entanglement only made his behavior look more cowardly.
Moreover, even if the ball really went out of bounds, the Sock combination was already doomed. They were already trailing by a large margin of "0:5" in the second set, and even trailing by "15:40" in the opponent's serve-winning game. From any perspective, the game had already been decided.
Pospisil's protest only highlights his narrow-mindedness.
The booing never stopped.
Sok couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he trotted all the way to the baseline and carefully observed the landing point.
Press line.
Although it was a bit dangerous, Sock also believed that a quarter of the ball hit the line. In tennis matches, when the Hawkeye challenge is used, even if it is just a slight touch of the line, or one percent of contact, it is also judged as hitting the line, so this ball is undoubtedly in bounds.
Sock raised his head and immediately looked across the court, because Gawain and Dimitrov also came to the net and paid attention to the situation there.
Sok made a gesture of inbounds to confirm, and then looked at Pospisil, trying to intervene in the conversation, but Pospisil was a little excited.
Some swear words had already been mixed in with his words without him noticing.
The referee refused to continue the conversation and sternly said, "This is my final judgment. If you have any objections to the decision, please submit a review application after the game, but the discussion on the court ends here."
After saying that, the referee ignored Pospisil and trotted back to the referee's chair, then announced the result of the game through the microphone.
"Game, Gao/Grigoriy Dimitrov, 7:5, 6:0..."
The game came to an end.
The boos turned into cheers and whistles, and then quickly turned into applause.
Gradually, you can see that all the audience members stand up and congratulate the champion with applause. In this way, they make up for the unexpected events and twists and turns in the final stage of the game, bring the scene back to the party atmosphere of celebrating the championship, and express their sincere respect.
Little by little, it gathers together and becomes a storm.
Bottom line side.

Sok looked at the dejected Pospisil and felt helpless.
On the one hand, he completely disagreed with his partner's behavior, including his entire conduct in the second set; but on the other hand, he could deeply feel his partner's frustration and depression, and found it difficult to accept the loss of the game, which collapsed in such a frustrating way.
call……
Sok let out a long breath and patted Pospisil on the back to comfort him.
"Vasek, the game is over."
Just a simple sentence contains so many emotions at this moment.
Pospisil seemed to have finally regained his sanity, took a step forward, and went back to the net with Sock to complete the final ceremony of the end of the game: a handshake.
Perspisil did not want to face Gawain.
He thought that Gawain would humiliate him severely, or even show a look of contempt. He really couldn't imagine such a scene.
Just thinking about it makes my stomach burn and every cell in my body start to resist.
However--
No.
Nothing at all.
Shake hands, smile, nod, greet.
That's all.
It was just like the handshake after every game, there was nothing special about it, even the look in their eyes didn't have any special meaning, everything was calm and peaceful.
Because it was so unexpected, Pospisil didn't react and was stunned involuntarily:
Isn't this how things should be?
After the handshake, he stood there and looked at Gao Wen one more time. He was so confused that he stopped Soke from moving forward.
What...what happened?
