"Here it comes! Here it comes!"
There was an uncontrollable commotion on Court No. 1. Without turning around, one could feel the whispers and exclamations coming from all directions. Following the gaze of the audience towards the entrance of the court, one could see two players talking and laughing without any sign of nervousness at all.
With the final battle approaching, it can be seen that both men are very relaxed.
The on-site staff stepped forward to give a reminder, and Dimitrov shook hands and bumped shoulders with Gawain again, then slightly adjusted his equipment bag, turned around and walked into the stadium.
The first match on Court No. 1 today ended very quickly. Sharapova defeated her opponent in straight sets in just one hour to advance to the quarterfinals. The audience who bought tickets did not even have time to enjoy the match before it ended, which was a bit regrettable.
Fortunately, the second game followed without stopping. The audience, who were still not satisfied, could not wait for the game to begin. At the same time, they also showed all the energy that could not be released in the previous game, cheering for the two players, and looking forward to the two representatives of the youth storm to bring a wonderful duel at Wimbledon.
Oh! Oh! Oh! The whole audience burst into cheers, as if a sleeping dragon had finally awakened.
Unlike the other three Grand Slams, Wimbledon does not have a grand entrance ceremony, no gorgeous introductions, no music and commentary that constantly stirs up the atmosphere. It is just a guide from the staff, and the players come on stage with their equipment on their backs, ready to play. That's all:
Low-key and simple, it tries its best to avoid the influence of commercial atmosphere, but focuses all attention on the competition, following the consistent tradition of the All England Club.
The All England Club believes that fans who come to watch the game have already done their homework, and the purchase of tickets is the best proof of this. Naturally, the audience already knows the opponents of the match and does not need any additional introduction from the official. As for the audience in front of the TV, the commentators will be responsible for the introduction.
This is a kind of reserve and also a kind of professionalism.
Of course, some people like it and some don't, but Wimbledon is still Wimbledon, doing its own thing and enjoying it, continuing its many years of tradition.
No wonder the world's top sponsors all agree that sponsoring Wimbledon is the most complex and difficult; but the rich heritage and connotation have shaped Wimbledon's unique brand image, making Wimbledon one of the top events most popular with sponsors.
After all, brand image is priceless.
Dimitrov, here we go——
He wore a set specially launched by Nike for the grass-court season, a white jersey and white shorts with an iconic black Nike logo on the left chest; the other was a zippered cardigan-style all-white sports jacket, which was simple, generous, without any superfluous design, but with distinctive lines and colors.
Of course, all Nike contracted players can wear this suit, without exception; but the same suit has completely different temperaments when worn by different people.
For example, Dimitrov.
His white clothes were as white as snow, his posture was elegant, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. It could be seen that he was ready to enjoy the game.
"Grigor, come on!"
"Go, Gregor, go!"
The fans on both sides of the entrance passage shouted at Dimitrov, which made Dimitrov a little restrained. He waved and continued walking.
Plan felt a little strange.
When I usually get to know Dimitrov in private, he is just a big boy who likes to joke, is unrestrained and embraces freedom. He even plays pranks occasionally and is always laughing. But now watching Dimitrov stepping onto the court, the familiar look is gone, but I can feel his radiance.
Then, the reality hits:
The game is about to begin.
Although Plan had just watched Sharapova's first match and had been excited for a long time, the feeling at this moment was different.
Realizing this, my heart began to beat faster and harder, faster and harder, hitting my chest hard and clearly conveying that explosive force. It was so violent and intense that my stomach began to churn and I had an urge to vomit.
But at the same time, I could feel thousands and thousands of butterflies fluttering deep in my abdomen. Indescribable excitement and irrepressible joy surged into my brain all at once, and before I knew it, it began to erupt like a volcano.
There was a roar in the eardrum.
Then——
Ah! The screams pierced the sky and were contagious, sweeping across the entire place like a storm in the blink of an eye.
Ah! The entire heat wave and momentum climbed to a higher level. It was obvious that the frenzy on Court No. 1 was gathering, and many people even stood up.
Subconsciously, Plan also stood up, but her hands, which were about to applaud, stopped in mid-air. Then, she saw Gawain.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
White T-shirt and white shorts are the standard configuration for Wimbledon. Although there is a golden wolf head logo on the left short sleeve of the T-shirt to distinguish it from other white jerseys, there is no obvious difference overall.
The real difference is that Gawain is wearing a white hoodie, a hoodie of a different material, it looks like silk, but the fabric appears tough and three-dimensional, bathed in the golden sunlight you can see the light flowing, along the outer edge of the hat you can see a circle of thin golden threads wrapped around it.
The hoodie is sleeveless, so the short sleeves of the jersey underneath are directly visible.
Gawain put on a hoodie over his jersey and walked into the arena with light steps, just like a young Rocky ready to step into the boxing ring.
Youthful, high-spirited, and vigorous.
This is the Wimbledon jersey designed by Nike specifically for Gawain.
When Nike first announced it, it sparked a heated discussion. Different from Federer's elegance and Nadal's simplicity, Gawain's exclusive jersey is always full of youth and fashion. It is not only good-looking, but also more practical. Most importantly, it perfectly sets off Gawain's tall, long-legged, handsome and elegant image.
Who would have thought that in the All England Club, which emphasizes elegance, tradition and etiquette, there would be a rebellious boxer ready to challenge it all? However, Gawain's temperament is not ostentatious, but elegant and handsome, with a feeling of "the masts and oars are destroyed in the midst of laughter and chat", which is a perfect fit. Standing on the green field of Wimbledon, he does not look out of place at all, and finally won the fans and audiences' constant pursuit and praise.
Moreover, at this moment, Dimitrov and Gawain appeared one after another. The similar all-white costumes were able to clearly present two different styles, one was chic and the other was elegant, one was handsome and the other was sunny. The temperament of the clothing design collided with each other, making it even more exciting.
Of course, Plan had seen Gawain like this, not only in the broadcast of the game, but also in real life. Logically, he should be familiar with him; but when he actually saw Gawain stepping on the stage with light steps, Plan was still stunned, and the light in his eyes quickly moved.
My heart is beating wildly.
