Chapter 1963: Proud and Magnificent
"..." Zhan Jun held his breath involuntarily. The long round of more than fifty beats was enough to suffocate one and make him forget his own existence for a short time.
Until——
“Got it!”
A sentence, a short and powerful sentence, exploded on the eardrum like thunder, and thoughts like a galloping horse surged out in the mind.
"Match point, cash it in!"
"On his second match point, Gao Wen withstood the severe test of the entire 57-shot round, and finally successfully cashed in with a signature backhand straight line to win the winning point, bringing the game to a full stop."
“The game is over!”
"The match ended with the final scores of '6:3', '3:6', '6:4', '4:6', '7:6 (6)'. Gawain defeated Djokovic in five sets and successfully defended his title!"
Language is magical.
When the word "defending" came out of his mouth, a tingling and stimulating electric current spread across the tip of his tongue, and the top of his head opened completely in an instant.
An indescribable and inexpressible tremor coursing through my veins.
There are so many thoughts in my brain.
Excited! Excited!
Excited! "Who could have thought?"
“No one expected it!”
"After winning the title at Melbourne Park earlier this year, Gawain's career reached a high point that few newcomers can surpass."
"But after that, Gao Wen seemed to have hit a short bottleneck. The young freshman inevitably had to pay the tuition fee, and his performance in the clay court season and grass court season declined slightly."
"In fact, judging from his performance in his first time on clay and grass courts, Gawain has already been ranked among the top players in history, but people have higher expectations and hopes for him. The semi-finals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon are incredible, but people are still expecting more."
"There was even a period of negativity and doubt. Has Gao Wen's luck as a rookie been completely exhausted? Is he slowly returning to mediocrity in front of the Big Four?"
"After the North American summer hard court season began, injuries disrupted Gao Wen's season plan, casting a shadow over the prospects of this superstar entering the second season of his career."
"Two weeks ago, it was still unknown whether Gawain would be able to come to New York to defend his title. There were countless doubts and suspicions, but in the end Gawain finally showed up in New York, stepped onto the Arthur Ashe Stadium, and started his journey to defend his title."
"However."
"His fate was full of misfortunes. In the third round match against Belučić, Gawain accidentally sprained his ankle again and even faced the dilemma of retiring from the competition."
"Gawain, you persisted. Not only did you persist, you persisted with your blood and tenacity."
"Injuries, accidents, pressure, doubts. None of the hardships and difficulties that stood in front of this young man could stop him from moving forward. Not only that, but all those setbacks turned into fuel and motivation, motivating him to continue to transform and grow."
"One battle after another, more and more courageous."
"In the semi-finals, facing the five-time US Open champion Roger Federer, Gao Wen played a wonderful offensive battle, showing his brilliance and showing the king's appearance. He defeated the Swiss king in four sets and strode into the final. He responded to the doubts with an unparalleled performance and once again proved the strength of the world's second."
"And in the end, in the final, it was the world number one Djokovic who faced Gao Wen across the net."
"No one will forget that it was on this court last year that Gavankar defeated Djokovic in the semi-finals and made it to the final, becoming famous and starting a magical journey."
"After a year, the two players met again, and this time they went a step further and stood on the final stage to compete for the final championship gold cup."
Mighty and magnificent——
I can't stop at all.
As he spoke, Zhan Jun's voice became hoarse. He was tired and excited, moved and happy, and his eyes were uncontrollably hot.
However, the words continued. This was such a magical and wonderful journey, not just the game in front of them, but the entire journey. They were so lucky to be able to witness it, to follow it, and to be a part of it. Those memories instantly devoured their brains.
"This final was truly a battle of the highest order. Both players played at their best and had a chance to win. The ups and downs of the game vividly demonstrated the main theme of the past two seasons, 'Big Four vs. Challengers.'"
"Gawain was leading 2-1 at one point and was in control, but Djokovic came from behind, took control of the situation and was very, very close to winning."
"From leading 3-0 in the final set and holding a break point at 30-40, only one point away from a 4-0 lead with two breaks, to serving for the match in the ninth game at 40-0 and getting three consecutive match points, to leading 5-1 in the tie-break, Djokovic had too many chances in the final set."
"but!"
"The one who has the last laugh is still Gawain."
"This is also the second time that Gawain has saved a match point to beat Djokovic, completing an incredible feat, following last year's Paris Masters."
"History, we are witnessing history!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Uncontrollably, his voice began to tremble slightly, but he continued to talk incessantly, pushing the exploding emotions to a new peak step by step.
His eyes were tearful, his vision was blurry, and his heart was pounding wildly, releasing a steady stream of scorching hot energy.
"With this victory, the four Grand Slam tournaments of 2015 have all come to an end, the biggest suspense has been resolved, and we are all witnessing the birth of history together."
"This is Gawain's second Grand Slam title in 2015, making him the first player in 20 years to win two Grand Slam titles in one year, following Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. He also surpassed Wawrinka and Murray to win his third Grand Slam title."
"It's been seven years since Federer in 2008 that a men's singles player has been able to defend his title at Flushing Meadows. Gao Wen broke this curse."
"Most importantly, Koeman becomes only the second male player in history, after Bjorn Borg, to win three Grand Slam titles before the age of 20."
"Nineteen!"
"Yes, Gawain is still only 19 years old and will officially turn 20 in November this year. He is standing on the shoulders of giants with his incredible performance, standing shoulder to shoulder with legendary players like Nadal, Wilander and McEnroe who became famous at a young age and created brilliant achievements, writing incredible miracles step by step."
——I couldn't help but shed tears.
Last year, when Gao Wen jumped out from the cracks in the stone, people emphasized key words such as "China" and "Asia", creating a new history.
Now, those labels are no longer important. Gao Wen has left his name with practical actions, which is enough to go down in history from any perspective.
He paused for a moment. What a magical, glorious and amazing journey this was. Gawain truly interpreted the spirit of competitive sports. Zhan Jun tried to find some words to express his feelings, and also tried to find some words to describe the significance of Gawain's feat.
More than a victory, more than a championship, more than history...
But Zhan Jun found that he could not find any words to accurately express his feelings, nor could he accurately describe the scene before him.
So, Zhan Jun shut his mouth, and in a rare and bold move, he handed the microphone in the live studio to Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Listen, that's the heartbeat of a stadium.
