Chapter 1672 Visiting the Scene in Person

"Welcome back, TV viewers, we are now bringing you the semi-final match between Federer and Simon at Wimbledon Court One."

"The game just started three games and was interrupted by rain, but now the rain has stopped and both players have returned to the court to start warming up again."

"Before the suspension due to rain, Federer once again showed good offensive touch. In the second game, which was Simon's serve, he saved multiple game points in a row, and finally took the lead in breaking serve with a cool and sharp forehand straight line."

"Subsequently, after holding serve with a 'love-game', Federer already had a '3:0' advantage."

"Judging from the opening, Simon was still a little cautious, while Federer showed more preparation and a more relaxed mentality, and got started very quickly."

"In the seven meetings between the two players in their careers, Simon won two victories; moreover, the two players had wonderful collisions in five sets at the Australian Open and French Open respectively. Although both victories belonged to Federer, Simon, who is good at switching from defense to offense, is very difficult to deal with and is not afraid of his opponents.”

"This is the first time the two players have met on grass in their careers. Judging from the situation before the rain suspension, Federer is more prepared."

"The winner of this game will face Gao Wen, who has already advanced. In the earlier game, Gao Wen saved two match points and defeated Murray in five sets, completing the feat of advancing to the semi-finals of all four Grand Slams, and All of them are competing for the first time, and I’m afraid this record will be hard to come by in the future.”

"It can be foreseen that no matter who advances, it will be a much-anticipated collision."

"But now, we need to focus on the game in front of us, and then Simon's serve."

Rustling.

There was a slight commotion when the arena returned after a brief period of rain disruption. The audience had just taken their seats and their attention could not return to the arena immediately, so confusion was inevitable; but Wimbledon is Wimbledon after all. When the two players were ready, the noise Disappeared without a trace in an instant.

——Simon serves.

When Gao Wen arrived at Court No. 1, it happened to be game point.

Simon used a signature backhand slash to win the winning point in the dilemma of defensive counterattack, realize the game point, keep serve, and successfully break the ball.

Now it seems that the rain disruption has actually done Simon a small favor. He can regain his focus amidst the chaos and tension. His attention can be refocused on the game instead of being distracted by off-field factors. There are many possibilities one after another. Dizziness fills every corner of the brain.

For example, "It would mean something if I could win", "One more win would be the semi-finals", "Beating Federer at Wimbledon would definitely be a feat".

For example, "Everyone thinks Federer can win easily but I am not afraid of facing Federer at all", "My winning rate will greatly increase if the semi-finals face Gao Wen", "If I beat Gao Wen, it will be the final", "Big What does it feel like to be in a Grand Slam final?" and "My career is about to break through."

For example, "If you beat Federer, the media will be shocked" and "What will the fans think if they find out that they advance to the semi-finals and face Gawain?"

And so on and so forth.

A thought, a thought, the game hasn't even started yet, those random thoughts have already devoured me.

However.

"0:3", he fell behind at the beginning, a wake-up call, and he woke up immediately; then a rainstorm gave Simon time to wake up and adjust, and those complicated thoughts were squeezed out of his brain, and he started thinking about tactics again. , started paying attention to the game again, and the state returned.

One goes and the other goes, you come and I go, tennis is a seesaw game.

On this side, Simon is showing an upward momentum, which will inevitably bring more impact, and the quality of the return will also be improved; on the other side, it depends on Federer's next response.

A figure slowly approached Gawain, but kept a certain distance. He stopped two steps away and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Gao, do you need to enter your seat now?"

In front of him was the staff of Stadium No. 1.

In tennis matches, in order to avoid disturbing the concentration of players, spectators are not allowed to enter during the match. They must wait patiently at the corresponding entrance of the auditorium until the breaks between sets and between sets before they can enter. This is a basic etiquette for watching games.

However, it's not easy -

It is not easy to find your own seat in the tennis court at Nottingham University. Often the inter-game break is over but the audience still cannot find their seat, and then they wander in the aisle like lost lambs. This affects the players' concentration and competition. of continuity is a fatal disturbance.

There are often boos at the scene.

Among the four Grand Slams, the rules of the US Open are the most loosely enforced. Occasionally, during the game, spectators can freely enter or leave the court, or even walk in the aisles to stretch. The rules of Wimbledon are the most strictly enforced, and it is strictly forbidden to hit the ball during the game. Entering and exiting the court, even walking around, is prohibited.

Of course, everything has exceptions——

If VIPs arrive at the venue, the event organizing committee will send out dedicated staff to guide them and arrange for them to be seated as soon as possible.

This is a privilege, but it is not just a privilege. It is also out of consideration for maintaining order in the arena.

For a simple example, Beckham came to watch the game and missed the opening, but was blocked in the corridor. Even if Beckham was willing to wait patiently, the surrounding spectators who were also waiting and the spectators near the entrance might cause commotion and make those noises. It's the key to interfering with the game.

Therefore, event staff often appear immediately to help usher——

However, they need to be more careful, step lightly, bend down, and reduce their presence as much as possible to avoid interfering with the progress of the game.

In front of him, Gawain was in the same situation.

After all the post-match recovery training was completed, Gao Wen could have returned to his residence, relaxed and rested, or reviewed today's match against Murray; but Gao Wen thought it was a good idea to go to the stadium to watch Federer's game, not to examine his opponent. Instead, learn from the Grass King.

Just leave the task of inspecting the opponent to Sampras, while Gawain will enjoy the game as a spectator and absorb the nutrients.

Coincidentally, Beckham also went to Court No. 1 to support Federer——

As for the other travelers?

A nearly four-hour tennis match had consumed all his enthusiasm, and he needed to move his body before the calloused joints on his butt became rusty. After the game, the gentleman went to the locker room to say hello to Gao Wen, and then walked away. He should have left Wimbledon at this time.

At this time, Gao Wen was preparing to go to the VIP box to join Beckham.

Looking at the staff in front of him, Gao Wen raised his right hand and pressed it down gently to signal: Be patient.

Gao Wen is a player himself. He knows what it feels like when there is interference in the stadium stands, so he will naturally abide by the court etiquette.

The staff showed some hesitation in their eyes and looked at the audience behind Gawain, but Gawain, the person involved, had a calm face.

"Shhh."

Gawain gestured to the court with his chin, and Federer was ready to serve.
