Chapter 670: Get away safe and sound
Tap, tap, tap.
Tap tap tap.
Gawain was running at full speed, looking a little embarrassed, because Berdych had the absolute initiative and suppressed him with three consecutive forehand attacks.
In the previous shot, he used a reverse diagonal line to press on Gao Wen's backhand bottom line blind spot, forcing Gao Wen to reluctantly return a transition ball in the middle.
Then, he aimed at another blind spot at the baseline with a forehand diagonal attack and increased the speed.
Gawain was running at full speed, his footsteps crossing the field bursting out with incredible power, and then, he sprinted, and sprinted again.
Lead the beat.
Push! Push.
One turn! Light belt.
"ah!"
With the body stretched to the extreme, it has become very, very difficult to actively exert force, but it can be clearly seen that Gao Wen's forehand made a sweeping and upward movement, and after the shot was completed, he still completed a large loop around the head, and the entire topspin was very full.
Whoosh! The next second, you can see the return ball tearing an incredible small diagonal line, drilling into Berdych's backhand service area, and then rushing out.
Berdych was pulled out of the doubles line, but his light footsteps still reached the tennis ball, but...
The angle of the racket face can no longer be controlled.
state.
The tennis ball turned into a rocket, drawing an exaggerated parabola and flying towards the spectator stands behind Gawain.
Everyone in the stadium looked up and looked at the ceiling decoration of the Paris Masters stadium.
Then--
Break!
After missing three consecutive break points and saving a game point, this game with such ups and downs and twists and turns finally ended with Gao Wen breaking the serve.
At the beginning of the second set, Gao Wen won the two consecutive games after a hard fight to the end, which also laid the foundation for the trend of the whole set.
Berdych obviously lost his energy and seemed to lack a bit of fighting spirit, as well as the motivation to fight back and reverse the situation. The subsequent games were a bit dull.
At the end of the game, Gao Wen got two consecutive match points in Berdych's serve. After missing one, on the second match point, Berdych's forehand attack went out of the baseline, bringing the game to an end.
This close combat confrontation ended with a mistake.
The game ended with “7:5”, “6:2”.
Gawain defeated Berdych and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Paris Masters. In the fierce competition for a place in the year-end finals, at least he did not let down.
Hope continues! At the post-match press conference, the "year-end finals seat" undoubtedly became the focus of attention. After all, Gao Wen is still on the draw list, but the problem is that as the game progresses, the performance of competitors also determines the championship points situation at all times——
Gawain's fate is not in his own hands.
Gao Wen was very calm about this.
“Guys, let’s show some respect to the Paris Masters, shall we?”
"Of course, London is an ancient and beautiful city and I am looking forward to going there. Obviously everyone is paying attention to London at the moment."
"But London is two weeks away. It will wait its time, and now is the time for Paris."
"Don't forget, we're in the Masters tournament, God, I dream of winning the Masters, I need it badly."
The light and playful tone successfully caused low laughter to be heard at the press conference.
Although the reporters didn't want to admit it, the fact was that they were in Paris, and it was not good to embarrass their host in person.
As Gao Wen said, Paris is also a Masters tournament, and its importance is no less than the year-end finals. People ignore the competition for the Masters championship because of the fierce competition for the finals. This is biased and rude.
So, when Gawain said,
"I don't have the time or energy to think about London at the moment, all my attention is on the next round of games that are coming up."
The persuasiveness is even stronger.
The reporters were ultimately unable to refute the allegation, and after going around in circles, they still could not get anything out of Gao Wen.
Once again, Gawain walked away from the press conference unscathed, leaving the packed house of reporters to wonder, "Is he sure he won't be nineteen until next month?"
According to the schedule, the year-end finals will start on November 9th. If Gawain can go to London, he will celebrate his 19th birthday on the stage of the year-end finals. By then, Gawain is likely to break a series of records again.
The premise is that Gawain can go to London.
After the press conference, Gao Wen went to receive massage therapy and recovery training. No matter when, these steps must be carried out meticulously.
Generally speaking, in a complete professional tennis team, physiotherapists are indispensable and play an important role like fitness trainers, nutritionists, psychological counselors, etc.; but top professional physiotherapists are very popular and do not just pop out of cracks in the rocks.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After the US Open, Tobias and Sampras built an entire training team for Gao Wen, but the physiotherapist and nutritionist were never in place.
However, it doesn’t matter. Every tournament organizer must have registered professional physiotherapists, and more than one, to serve all players.
On the one hand, not all players have the ability to hire a private physiotherapist; on the other hand, emergencies also require the presence of physiotherapists and medical staff.
In fact, there are many talented professional physiotherapists for tournaments. All of them must undergo rigorous testing and pass the official ATP certification before they can take up their posts.
Federer's current physiotherapist was poached from the tour. Tobias followed Gawain to participate in competitions everywhere, so he and Peart have been looking for a suitable physiotherapist to see if they can poach him.
The biggest disadvantages of being a race therapist are:
Need to queue.
After the game, the players need to line up and wait in order of first come, first served.
Fortunately, the Paris Masters has entered its third day of competition and has entered the stage of competing for the quarterfinals. The number of participating players has been reduced by half, so there is no need to wait too long in line.
"...Okay, that's all."
The physical therapist patted Gao Wen's shoulder and spoke in English with a thick French accent.
Gao Wen expressed his gratitude.
Before leaving, the physiotherapist gave Gao Wen another hug and said with a smile.
"You did a great job. Very, very good."
Snap. Snap.
The physical therapist patted Gao Wen on the back, just like a kindergarten teacher rewarding a little kid.
Gao Wen laughed directly, "I should be the one saying thank you. I enjoyed the treatment today."
After finishing the massage treatment, Gao Wen left the physical therapy room and walked towards the locker room. He saw the Bryan brothers coming towards him, sweating profusely. It seemed that they had just finished the game.
"Hey, man." Bob Bryan was still cheerful and excited. Without saying much, he gave Gao Wen a big hug, a full bear hug.
"You're great, I mean it, you're really, really great, and to be honest, Mike and I have said this more than once, I really, really like your game."
Gao Wen: ...? So suddenly?
