Chapter 1666 A Misplacement

boom!

Applause and thunder hovered mightily over the center court, the wind was raging, and the sun was bursting.

At this time, people realized that at some point, the sky had quietly cleared up, the clouds dispersed, and the sun filled the sky. The whole world seemed to have just been washed with water. The gray scene was once again full of light, clean and bright, with a new attitude. Welcome to the historic moment.

On the court.

After a short celebration, Gawain regained his normalcy and did not continue to rub salt into the wounds of the home audience. After all, Wimbledon has always been very polite and respectful. Even in an away game, they still welcomed Gawain with open arms. Come and applaud without hesitation.

With a long, heavy breath, Gao Wen took off his sneakers again, felt the softness of the grass with his feet, then picked up his shoes and racket and trotted towards the net.

The audience witnessed this scene and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, the applause climbed to another level and they began to boo.

In the last point, Gao Wen was a high-pressure midfielder, only a few steps away from the net. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the net, patiently waiting for Murray's arrival.

At this time, Murray was still four meters away behind the baseline of the forehand position, with his hands on his hips, his head lowered, and his expression covered with the brim of his hat.

Although his expression was invisible, the frustration and disappointment radiating from his body still showed inadvertently.

Plus, there's a touch of sadness.

Unlike Melbourne Park, this is Wimbledon; moreover, Murray has fully recovered and his season performance has been top-notch from clay to grass. At his home court, Murray's expectations and demands for himself have also reached a new peak. What he desires is more than victory.

——But the champion.

It is precisely because of this that the bitterness of losing to the top eight will be difficult to accept for a while.

Moreover, this is the second consecutive year that Murray has stopped in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.

Last year, Murray, who had just returned from injury, was still trying to find his form, with ups and downs, ups and downs. He lost to Dimitrov in Wimbledon and stopped in the quarterfinals. The bitterness was still bitter, but behind the defeat Seeing more positive factors sounds the clarion call for Murray's recovery in the second half of the season.

This year is different.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment; the stronger the desire, the more intense the bitterness.

He needs a little time.

Using all his strength, Murray swallowed the bitterness of the defeat. Then, Murray raised his head again, raised his hand towards Gao Wen to express his apology, and then ran all the way to the net, regaining his proactive attitude. Prepare to congratulate Gawain.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

One after another, the applause at the center court climbed to a higher level again, this time for their local hero who was glorious despite defeat.

Rolling heat waves poured down.

Murray had already reached the net and shook his head slightly, "Sorry, look where my etiquette has gone. Please forgive me for being rude."

Open your mouth and say an apology.

Gawain pursed his lips slightly and raised the sneakers in his hand, "When we discuss etiquette, I think I also need to ask for understanding in advance."

A light joke, completely unexpected, Murray was slightly stunned, and his smile rose.

Then, Gao Wen stuffed the racket and sneakers into his left hand, stretched out his right hand generously, and looked at Murray with bright eyes.

Murray paused for a moment. Although Gawain didn't say anything, the respect and tribute conveyed by those eyes were so bright and so sincere. The bitterness of defeat once again spread on the tip of his tongue. However, the heavy weight on his chest The burden also relaxed a little, and I felt relieved.

Snapped.

Murray held Gawain's right hand, pulled it gently, and gave Gawain a big hug, "You deserve it."

"Victory", the complete words should be "You deserve to win". You don't need to say it completely, the meaning can be clearly conveyed.

"That's because I have a strong opponent. It's my honor to be able to finish this game with you." Gao Wen also gave Murray a hug and patted Murray hard on the back. His words were simple but Be sincere and express your respect and admiration with every word.

Bang, bang.

There were bursts of sounds from Murray's back, and he just followed the flow and started to perform, "Cough, cough, cough!" He almost vomited blood.

"Okay, okay, you've already won, so there's no need to beat up your opponent, right? You can't have everything."

Loosening his arms, Murray looked at Gawain with a smile on his face.

I originally expected to see panic on Gawain's face, but I didn't expect that Gawain's face was filled with regret. He shook his head slightly, as if he saw a lost boy, expressing his heartache, "I knew that those friendships were all an illusion. We We are not friends at all, and you still framed me."

Murray:…

Wait, it was obviously a joke just now, why can't Gawain not be able to make a joke? The impression of Gawain is not like this!

Moreover, it seems that they are not friends to begin with?

Among the Big Four, Gao Wen has the best relationship with Nadal. He occasionally interacts with Federer and has a close relationship with Djokovic. However, he is neither far nor close to Murray. The two rarely meet in private, but Djokovic is the best. Mitrov and Murray have a good relationship and often trained together in the past.

Gawain shook his head sadly, "I want to tell Roger."

Murray:? ? ?

What's with this complaining tone?

Also, why are you looking to Roger for arbitration? What is the benchmark for this?

Murray wanted to play a prank, but was killed by Gawain. The British gentleman was stunned in place, watching Gawain stretch out his right hand towards the referee with a face full of grief. He was thinking about whether he should clarify the misunderstanding. Then I saw Gawain smiling brightly at the referee.

Murray: Can he use foul language?

It would be too honest if he didn't know that he had been pranked by Gawain at this time.

Murray's face was full of helplessness, and he couldn't hold back his smile. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he shook his head. The more he thought about it, the funnier it became, and finally he laughed out loud.

After shaking hands with the referee, Murray returned to his player seat.

The smile slowly calmed down, and the sense of reality slowly returned to the blood vessels, a little cold.

He understands the truth, he understands everything; but the reality is another matter. When he really faces a defeat, when he really realizes that he missed the Wimbledon semi-finals this year, he really realizes that the All England Club has stopped for two consecutive years. During the quarterfinals, the pain was still so heartbreaking that it made me twitch.

The bitterness is unbearable.

The curve of the corners of his mouth still didn't have time to calm down, but the turbulent emotions hit him hard in an instant. The brief relaxation caused him to lose control. Before he could suppress his emotions, the dam burst. In a panic, Murray covered his head with a towel, Hide yourself in a small darkness.

In fact, Murray has slowly become calmer——

Facing Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic, he has always won less and lost more. Even though he has reached the semi-finals and even the finals many times in Grand Slams, he has always been defeated by his old opponents. Over the past few years, only the US Open in 2012 and Wimbledon in 2013 have reached the top.

Now, we need to face another Gawain.

This year's games at Melbourne Park and Wimbledon were stopped by the same opponent both times.

The bitterness is almost unbearable.
