Chapter 1597 Super Monday

"Ahhh, I've been waiting for Roger's match for so long, and finally it's here!"

"... I personally think that no one should ignore Stan, look at Roland Garros..."

“No, no, no, there should be no suspense in Novak’s match. The most anticipated match today should be the rematch between Gasquet and Kyrgios at the All England Club after a year. Last year, Richard was defeated by Nick when he was leading. This year…”

"I think the organizing committee is crazy. They didn't even schedule the match between Gawain and Gregor to be held at the central stadium. Are they really no match for the local strength?"

"Isn't it really surprising that Novak was squeezed out of the center court? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that at the All England Club, among the Big Four, Novak is always ranked last. I am curious, if Rafa enters the second week, how will the organizing committee arrange today's schedule."

Chirping, bustling, shoulder to shoulder, noisy—

Being in the middle of it, your ears are simply too busy to keep up. Countless sounds collide with each other, creating wave after wave of heat on your eardrums. The professionalism and enthusiasm accumulating from a century-old tradition are stirring in the air of the All England Club, and you can feel it deeply even if you know nothing about tennis.

I couldn't help but feel my blood boiling.

Plan, kind of lost, kind of lost.

Standing in the surging crowd coming and going, I was dazzled and overwhelmed, and my brain could not keep up. It was like standing at the crossroads of the world, looking around, it was so vast that I was not sure how to take the first step or where to go, but all the cells in my body were still screaming.

It turns out that this is what it felt like on the scene.

So... so excited, so thrilled, so happy, even if I lost my way for a moment, I couldn't help but want to jump, want to scream, want to run, and open my arms to feel the enthusiasm of the All England Club.

Under normal circumstances, if someone suddenly cheered with his fist or jumped into the air on the street or in a public place, passers-by would probably look at him with confusion, as if they were seeing a lunatic; but here it is not like that. Any celebration or release is normal, and this is the norm.

Before officially entering the All England Club, following the crowd from the subway to the stadium, you can already clearly feel the difference in the air.

Plan thought he would be nervous, hesitant, timid, regretful, and even might escape at the last minute. But in fact, after arriving at the scene, he couldn't suppress his anticipation and excitement. He wanted to enter the stadium immediately and watch the game with his own eyes.

Especially Gawain’s game.

But feeling the atmosphere on the scene, Plan thought that maybe watching other players' games would be a good choice.

Now, Plan is actually somewhat fortunate that he decided to come and watch the game.

Since Roland-Garros, Plan has been thinking about this:

She hopes to be able to support Gawain closely at the first scene, she hopes to fight with Gawain, she hopes to experience all the ups and downs with Gawain, and she hopes to be a little bit of strength for Gawain to keep moving forward.

Maybe, she would be so nervous that she couldn't breathe; maybe, her heart would explode... However, her desire to fight alongside Gawain was becoming clearer and clearer.

Because she knew that this was Gawain's life, the dream he pursued, and the source of his passion, and she hoped that she could be a part of it.

Fear, tension, uneasiness, hesitation, tossing and turning... After experiencing all the emotions, a little impulse and a little enthusiasm finally prevailed.

The following things become simple -

Wimbledon.

While preparing for his graduation defense, Plan began to make his own strategy.

She planned to go to Wimbledon as an ordinary fan to give Gawain a surprise.

Air tickets, accommodation, game tickets, game guides, etc., as Plan looked up information and was eager to try it out, he became more and more convinced that his decision was the right one.

After research, Plan set his sights on Super Monday.

Among Wimbledon's countless traditions, the most unique and noteworthy one is undoubtedly the "Super Monday" in the second week of the tournament.

First of all, Sunday of the first week of the season is a day off.

Of course, there are occasional exceptions. Because of rain and cloudy weather, the schedule has been backlogged, and the All England Club has historically broken the rules and scheduled matches on Sundays; but the existence of the off-day itself and the ultimate goal of digesting all the backlogged schedules as much as possible in the first week point to a tradition.

That's Super Monday.

Secondly, Monday of the second week of the tournament is a strategically important day because all sixteen men’s and women’s singles quarterfinal matches will be contested.

In the other three Grand Slams, the round of 16 and quarterfinals are the peak of excitement, and all matches are evenly divided into two days to ensure that the audience will not miss any excitement; but Wimbledon is different, all singles round of 16 matches are concentrated on this Monday.

In addition, the schedule will be adjusted with Super Monday as the watershed. From now on, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday will all be women's singles matches, and Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday will all be men's singles matches. The rhythm of the competition will be switched through a rest day and a Super Monday.

As you can imagine, “Super Monday” is not only popular because of the large number of events, but also because there are many exciting matchups worth watching.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that the schedule for Super Monday has repeatedly attracted much attention.

Only three matches are scheduled for the Central Court and Court No. 1, while the other courts have four matches in total, three singles and one doubles.

This also means that only nine singles matches can be arranged from the Central Court to Court No. 2; but there are a total of sixteen singles matches on Super Monday, so naturally seven singles matches must be arranged on the small courts outside Court No. 3, and schedule arrangement has become a science.

There is no doubt that every year at Wimbledon, Super Monday is the peak of crowds and will also usher in a viewing frenzy comparable to carnival.

At this point, someone might ask, what if it rains on Super Monday? That would be a disaster.

But similar situations have happened more than once. After all, "rain" is an indispensable part of Wimbledon and visits almost every year.

Once the schedule of Super Monday is disrupted, we may witness Super Tuesday or even Super Wednesday next. In short, the organizing committee must find ways to digest the schedule as soon as possible to ensure that the peak showdown can be held at the weekend. This will undoubtedly be a severe test for the organizing committee's on-the-spot response.

Despite this, Super Monday is still the focus of attention. To some extent, the attention and discussion even exceed the enthusiasm of the men's and women's singles finals. After all, there are only two players participating in the finals, but Super Monday can be said to be star-studded and strong confrontations can be seen everywhere.

So, Puran chose Super Monday.

So when Plan arrived at the scene, he saw an unparalleled spectacle and was amazed.
