Chapter 736: Key to Review
Gao Wen, who has lived two lives, has experienced many ups and downs, and has also experienced many changes in the world. In terms of mentality and experience, he has his own advantages.
But on the field, he is still a newcomer after all. He starts from scratch and has only been in the professional field for less than five months. The experience in his previous life can not help him much, because the actual games he has experienced are very limited. The accumulation of experience still requires one to take one step at a time.
He still has a lot to learn and a lot of room to grow.
Just like today's game.
In fact, at the end of the second set, Djokovic's attention was obviously a little distracted because the audience was cheering for Gao Wen.
After Djokovic lost his serve with a double fault, he actually applauded and thanked the audience and even gave them a thumbs up. The irony was obvious. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with the audience near the baseline who were constantly provoking him, and he couldn't hold back his anger after all.
However, the other spectators at the O2 Stadium were confused. They were unaware of the "conflict" between Djokovic and the spectators in the baseline area. They just saw Djokovic's gesture provoking the audience, so they booed.
In addition, they were eagerly waiting for an exciting match. Everyone hoped that Gao Wen could drag the game into the deciding set. The atmosphere on the scene was even more one-sided, as if the whole world was on Gao Wen's side.
Djokovic was very dissatisfied with this, very, very dissatisfied, and kept arguing with the audience.
After that, Djokovic lost three games in a row, including his second break, and handed the second set to Gao Wen.
The deciding set came as expected.
What Gawain really regretted was not the end of the second set, because at this stage, Djokovic's attention was distracted and he got entangled in an argument with the audience, but Gawain always stayed focused, very focused and dedicated, seized the opportunity, and successfully won the second set.
The problem came at the beginning of the third set.
After the break, Djokovic regained his composure and finally ended his quarrel with the audience; while Gawain continued his good form and launched his offensive.
In Djokovic's first service game of the deciding set, Gao Wen got two consecutive break points.
This time, however, Gawain didn't catch it.
Compared with the two encounters in New York and Paris, the overall performance still lacked a bit of patience, especially because Djokovic's defense in this game was very difficult, which put tremendous pressure on Gao Wen on the offensive end. He was more eager to seize the hard-won opportunity, and as a result, Djokovic seized the opportunity to complete a defensive counterattack.
In this game, Gao Wen missed a total of four break points, but was still saved by Djokovic.
Of course, after that, Gawain was not disturbed by regret and frustration, and still maintained a high level of concentration. He still fought to the end in the deciding set and presented a wonderful duel. But in this game, not breaking the serve was one point, and allowing Djokovic to regain his fighting spirit and focus was another point.
If we review the game again, this round is undoubtedly important.
Rather than choosing the right tactics for each point, it is more about how to handle the entire situation: when a giant like Djokovic experiences fluctuations in form or is disturbed by off-court interference, how should one seize the opportunity?
Originally, this was Gao Wen's strong point, and it had always been, accurately interpreting the game and seizing opportunities accurately, which also became the key for Gao Wen to control the context of the game.
But it was precisely because of facing Djokovic, and after defeating Djokovic twice in a row, that his mentality inevitably underwent subtle changes. At the same time, Djokovic also changed. Then, facing the unexpected situation of the game again, he had to face a completely new situation.
After all, he still lacks such experience.
"So, this is Tuyang Tushunpo?"
ah……
Gawain stretched himself lazily. He thought he could face it calmly and handle it maturely because it was the case several times before.
But this time it was different. Frustration and loss were still surging in my chest.
Maybe, it’s because of facing Djokovic; maybe, it’s because the season will be over if we lose this game; maybe, it’s because we haven’t fought enough; maybe, it’s because we simply don’t like losing; maybe, it’s because of other inexplicable reasons.
Unwilling.
Still unwilling.
How did the game end? If he could do it again, he would definitely handle it better!
However, the game is over and there is no chance to start over.
depressed!
Eeyore.
The sound of the locker room door opening interrupted Gawain's movements and voice, so that Gawain froze in place, wondering whether he should retract his movements.
Wawrinka's face appeared in front of him. Noticing Gawain's actions, Wawrinka paused for a moment, and the two looked at each other.
"Hey, Gawain."
Wawrinka rolled his eyes, lowered them, retracted his gaze, said hello, then pretended he saw nothing and walked towards the corner with his head down.

The locker rooms in tennis matches are basically shared by all players.
In the locker room, there are lockers that allow players to store their equipment and personal belongings, and there are shower rooms lined up next to them.
All lockers and showers are open for use, and no player enjoys any privileges. On match days, players arrive at the stadium according to their schedule, then find a locker they like or are used to, place their belongings, and wait for the game to end. Then they must clean the locker and leave the locker room.
It is also because of this that the locker room is always noisy in the early stages of the game, but as the game progresses, the locker room gradually becomes deserted.
Gao Wen's match against Djokovic is scheduled to take place at 2 pm local time in London.
Subsequently, the second men's doubles semi-final will begin no earlier than 6 p.m., and the second men's singles semi-final between Wawrinka and Federer will start no earlier than 8 p.m. local time.
Now, it's just past five o'clock.
Wawrinka's arrival at the locker room at this time meant that he came to prepare for the semi-final. It was a little early, but considering that doubles matches tend to proceed quickly, it was still within a reasonable time frame. He first put his belongings in place and then went to the gym to warm up.
Federer should also arrive at the venue soon.
Wawrinka always seemed to like the locker in the corner, where he could just turn his back to the locker room and enjoy a little privacy of his own.
It was the same at this time. Gawain glanced at Wawrinka and said hello, "Hey, Stan."
Looking at Wawrinka's back, thinking that Wawrinka should focus on the game and not want to communicate, Gao Wen prepared to pack up and leave, but he did not expect Wawrinka to ask a question in a muffled voice.
"Where are Bob and Mike?"
In the next game, the Bryan brothers will appear.
