Chapter 1678 The Show Is Coming
Originally, Gawain was thinking about calling Pu Lan to come to the VIP room to take shelter from the rain, but then he saw Pu Lan stretching out his hands to catch the rain with a smile on his face.
A clean and bright smile bloomed in the drizzle. It looked like he was back in his childhood, when he had no toys and was just waiting for the rain. As soon as I see it raining, I immediately put on my rain boots and raincoat, and can’t wait to run out and step into the puddles. This way I can have fun all afternoon.
Maybe the rain isn't all bad after all.
Involuntarily, Gawain stretched out his right hand and felt the touch of the fine raindrops with his palm. He felt a little itchy and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.
He looked up at the sky and said, "The rain shouldn't last long. There aren't any rain clouds."
While muttering, Gawain looked away, and then he saw Beckham encouraging Romeo, saying softly, "You can ask."
Gawain was not prepared to ask, but Beckham raised his head and saw Gawain's gaze. He smiled and said, "Romeo has a question and I want to ask you."
"Daddy!" Romeo was still a little cautious and called out complainingly.
Beckham laughed heartily and patted Romeo on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Gawain doesn't bite."
Gawain looked at Romeo and nodded seriously, "Indeed, I don't bite people, you know? Human flesh is hard and rough. The bad habits of modern dietary structure have completely destroyed human health. The fat ratio of muscles and The fibrous tissue was all bad and unsatisfactory.”
"However, if you want to try it, I can make an exception for you."
After finishing speaking, Gawain showed his neat and white teeth, as if he was filming an advertisement for toothpaste.
Romeo was stunned for a moment, and then his smile blossomed completely, "You lied."
Gao Wen's eyes widened and he looked at Beckham with disbelief, "Hey, David, this gentleman said I was lying. I feel attacked."
"Haha." Before Beckham could answer, Romeo relaxed and let out a burst of laughter, "I, I just want to ask you a question."
Gawain showed a disgusted expression, "For the sake of you being a gentleman, I will reluctantly answer."
"Are you a vampire?"
Romeo had just finished asking, and without waiting for Gawain and Beckham to react, he was already laughing loudly. Obviously, he was not used to pranks yet——
At least, not used to being in front of Gawain.
So, Romeo himself waved his hands repeatedly to express his denial, "Actually, what I want to ask is, who do you want to win today's game?"
Gawain raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why do you want to know?"
Romeo glanced at Beckham, and after receiving an encouraging look from his father, he looked at Gawain, "Because the winner will be your opponent. If you can choose, who would you rather play against?"
I see.
Gawain gently raised his chin, a smile appeared in his eyes, and gave his answer, "Roger."
Romeo's eyes also burst into brilliant light, "But why? Roger, Roger is so powerful."
Gawain's smile turned up at the corner of his mouth, "It's because Roger is so powerful that I hope he can win. Who doesn't want to challenge the strongest?"
Romeo didn't speak, just looked at Gawain quietly, the look in his eyes was quietly surging.
Beckham also looked at Gao Wen, "I'm also looking forward to your meeting with Roger. God, it will definitely be very exciting."
Gawain gently raised his chin, but his smile remained unchanged, "Although I'm not sure who you support in this case, at least today we are on the same front."
"Haha," Beckham laughed heartily.
The rain stopped.
The light rain that lasted less than ten minutes appeared and disappeared quietly, typical of Wimbledon.
The arena was busy again.
At this time, Wimbledon once again showed its profound heritage:
Well-trained caddies came on stage hand in hand to remove the rain cover, clean the site, and restore equipment. In less than three minutes, the course was back in use.
This professionalism and discipline are undoubtedly the best among the four majors. No wonder different events every year send caddies to Wimbledon for professional training.
While waiting for the two players to reappear, Court No. 1 was already 80% full, and the waiting spectators immediately returned to their seats, waiting for the excitement to continue.
The rain in the first set helped Simon regain his concentration and the game got back on track. But what about the rain in the second set?
"15:0".
Before the rain paused, Federer scored the first point in his second serve to win the set, leaving Simon with limited but not impossible space to launch a counterattack, depending on Simon's performance.
but!
The initiative is in Federer's hands. Don't forget, this is his serve.
"love-game"!
After returning from the rain disturbance, Federer scored three more points in a row, and then won four points in a row, holding on to his second serve to win the set and winning the second set.
The final score was fixed at "7:5".
Although Simon broke Federer's first serve, such a feat seemed to anger Federer, or, more accurately, help Federer unload his burden. He could stop paying attention to historical records all the time and start from scratch and concentrate on it. The layout of the service game.
Federer, who was in top form, was "unable to fight".
It can be seen from all aspects that Federer, who is getting better and better, is extremely eager to win, especially at Wimbledon, his best venue. His goal is not just Simon or the semi-finals, but the championship. , that powerful temperament was gradually released after encountering a break.
Entering the third set, Federer's condition and rhythm further improved, and he became more courageous as he fought.
At the beginning, he used continuous large-angle attacks to tear apart Simon's defense and break serve, leading to a "2:0" small point advantage. After a brief stalemate in the middle stage of the set, Federer's versatile and quick-silver offense brought pressure and pressure to Simon. The impact continued to increase, so much so that Simon began to waver.
Simon, who has always been difficult and stable, made a very rare mistake. He couldn't hold on in the round and lost the ball on his own initiative.
And it's not just one or two, it's consecutive mistakes. In addition to the impact of physical fitness, the loss of confidence is fatal.
In the seventh game, Federer effortlessly broke serve again, and then ushered in his own serve to win the game.
At this time, Simon, who was difficult to deal with, could no longer keep up with the rhythm. Both ends of the offense and defense were like blindly returning the ball like a headless chicken, and the game lost its suspense.
Federer dropped just one point and cashed in on his first match point.
"", "6:2".
Although the audience did not want to see such a scene, Simon only provided a brief highlight at the end of the second set, which was fleeting like fireworks, and then escaped into the endless night. After all, there was no collision in the whole game. The sparks were defeated in one fell swoop.
Regret, very, very regret, disappointing——
but!
This also means that "Federer VS Gawain" is about to take place.
This alone is enough, and the fun is coming.
