"Pah! Gawain!"

The applause was thunderous.

Especially when the audience saw Gao Wen take off his sneakers and feel the grass with his feet, the cheers became even louder amid the good-natured laughter.

In just two weeks, they accompanied Gawain on this magical journey——

They witnessed Gawain taking off his shoes six times, saving match points in both games against Istomin and Murray, missing one match point against Federer but saving an astonishing eleven match points, and advancing to the semi-finals in his first professional tournament at the All England Club.

An adventure like no other! And that's not all.

Since last July, as of Wimbledon, it has been exactly one year since Gao Wen turned to the professional arena. The 19-year-old young player has already created countless brilliant achievements.

The debut performance of two Grand Slam champions and two semi-finalists is undoubtedly an unprecedented and unparalleled feat; the three Masters championship trophies are an additional reward. Leaving aside the two doubles championship trophies, the outstanding performance across hard courts, clay and grass is truly impressive.

He emerged like a comet, and broke the blockade with unstoppable force, ranking second in the world and naturally playing the role of the fifth giant. His performance, his temperament and his achievements have already suppressed Murray, and he has begun to impact the thrones of the other three giants in a rapid manner.

Any language seems pale and powerless.

then.

Wimbledon chose the simplest and most classic way to applaud Gawain on this century-old arena and witness the birth of a superstar.

Perhaps no court is more suitable to witness such a classic moment than the All England Club's Centre Court, a venue rich in heritage and history.

"Pah! Gawain!"

Covering the sky and the earth.

Gao Wen tied up the laces of his sneakers and hung them around his neck. Then he raised his hands and turned 360 degrees on the spot to applaud the audience.

More than one player on the tour has said that Wimbledon has the best audience on the tour. Gawain has always been hesitant about this, as he believes that different tournaments and venues have their own charms. But after actually experiencing the two-week journey, Gawain finally understood what this sentence meant.

This group of audiences not only love tennis, but also understand it——

Even though they all stood behind Federer and cheered for the king of grass, they would never be stingy with their applause for their opponents, and would certainly not be stingy with their cheers to celebrate the exciting rounds.

Here, the charm of tennis and the tension of competitive sports interpret the most beautiful scenery.

At Wimbledon, there are cream strawberries, fluttering white clothes, a host of traditions that are hard to complain about, and a group of fans who truly love tennis.

call.

He let out a long breath. The more he let out a breath, the more unwilling he felt. The more he let out a breath, the more bitter he felt. But a smile still rose on Gawain's face.

Came to the net, quietly waiting for Federer——

Apparently, Federer needs some time, too.

From the embarrassment at the end of the fourth set, to the stalemate in the long set, to the thrilling missed eleven match points, this game was of great significance to him. Although he has experienced countless important moments that have gone down in history at Wimbledon, today's game was different.

After a long slump since 2012, I finally regained my vitality at Wimbledon this year.

In addition to emotion and excitement, Federer's confidence in the final also reached a new peak.

This is the most important thing.

Therefore, on both sides of the net, whether it was Gawain or Federer, both of them took some time to digest the game. Even though the game was over, their wildly beating hearts still needed some time to calm down.

Gawain stood patiently in front of the net and waited.

Federer did not let Gao Wen wait too long. He then raised his racket, slapped the racket face with his left hand, and applauded Gao Wen together with the audience. He trotted to the net with a bright smile on his face.

“A great game.”

Gao Wen also held Federer's right hand and shook his head gently, "I'm so unwilling, I haven't played enough, but the game is over."

Federer looked at Gao Wen with horror on his face, "Enough is enough, it's really enough. The only thought in my mind is that the game is finally over."

Frankly, sincerely, and with a hint of joking, Gawain and Federer exchanged glances and both laughed.

Gao Wen gave Federer a hug and said, "You deserve this victory, congratulations!"

Although he was unwilling, Gao Wen also sincerely believed that Federer deserved the victory.

Federer hugged Gao Wen tightly and said, "Thank you for playing with me."

This sentence may cause ambiguity and carry the arrogance of a winner, but Federer did not do that. This sentence is full of sincerity. It is an admiration, a gratitude and a mutual appreciation.

Gao Wen won Federer's respect and admiration through this game.

Bang!

Gao Wen patted Federer's back heavily, "Please fight all the way to the end."

——The road to championship.

According to Gao Wen's memory from his previous life, at Wimbledon in 2015, Federer was indeed in excellent form, and one could vaguely see him in his peak period. In the end, Federer and Djokovic met in the final.

But at this stage, Djokovic was in a continuous upward stage, and his ability to hold the baseline was unparalleled in the world. Federer was ultimately unable to break through Djokovic's net. In the end, in the final, Federer lost after a hard-fought four-set battle, witnessing the glory of Djokovic's comprehensive domination of the tennis world.

In fact, in Federer's original historical trajectory, he did fully recover in 2015, but unfortunately he lost to Djokovic repeatedly in the championship stage.

After suffering three consecutive defeats in the finals, Federer learned from his mistakes, reorganized his coaching team, and tried to change the face of his racket to reverse the decline of his backhand. After a brief adjustment and pain in 2016, Federer finally had a breakthrough in 2017 and won the Grand Slam championship again.

Of course, the trajectory of history is completely different now, everything is changing, and Gawain cannot and is not prepared to predict the future.

He just sincerely wishes Federer well.

Perhaps, after the fierce battle in the semi-finals, Federer can muster high morale and give 200% of his energy in the final.

Gao Wen also waited and watched.

Federer could feel the encouragement and support from Gawain's words, and smiled slightly, "Thank you, I need some encouragement now."

"Haha, Roger, you should know that countless fans around the world are standing behind you. I don't think Novak will be happy about this."

With just one joke, Gawain made Federer relax and laugh.

The last singles semi-final of Wimbledon 2015 has finally come to an end, and the lineups for the men's and women's singles showdown at the Forbidden City have been finalized.

In women's singles, "Serena Williams VS Muguruza", Serena Williams will also strive for her second "Serena Grand Slam" achievement.

Men's singles, "Djokovic VS Federer", the top two seeds met successfully——

At the same time, this also means...the Big Four are still the Big Four.
