Chapter 1815 Be Prepared

On the fourth match day, the Arthur Ashe Stadium schedule was released, which was a little surprise.

Matinee.

The first game, "Azarenka VS Yamuna-Wickmayer".

The second game, "Halep VS Kateryna-Bondareko".

The third game, "Gawain VS Fish".

Nightclub.

The first game, "Federer VS Steve-Darcis".

The second game, "Wozniacki VS Petra-Cetkovaska".

There was an accident——

Wozniacki defeated Azarenka and Halep, two candidates for the championship, to enter the night court. The market appeal of the Danish beauty was recognized by the US Open.

Of course, there are also surprises——

Gowan enters Arthur Ashe Stadium for the second consecutive game.

Although there is also Fish's addition, there is no doubt that Gawain is the real protagonist.

This is in direct contrast to the previous three Grand Slams this year. It is worthy of being half a home game.

Generally speaking, in the first two rounds of a Grand Slam tournament, the tournament organizing committee will often prioritize ensuring the diversity of the center court and arrange different games for different top players, including local hopes, topical matchups, Challenger League and Youth Storm. The most popular player among them.

Even the Big Four often leave center court, briefly giving up the spotlight to other players to shine.

Of course, the Big Four are the Big Four, and it is a high probability that the first two rounds of their matches will always be played on the Central Court, especially Federer and Nadal. This is a privilege, and it is also something they have won after a long period of hard work and competition. A unique treatment.

They deserve this honor.

Now, the US Open Organizing Committee has set an example with practical actions——

At least in the North American market, Gao Wen's box office appeal has fully risen, not only completely suppressing Wawrinka, but also faintly surpassing Djokovic and Murray, and is now on par with Federer and Nadal; and because of the refreshing youth storm And win more favor.

People like the new and hate the old, even in the world of competitive sports. After getting used to the faces of the Big Four, Gao Wen's emergence finally changed the status quo.

Naturally, Gawain also won more support.

The thing is that simple.

A round of applause.

Countless eyes are once again focused on Arthur Ashe Stadium, and it is more worthy of discussion and attention than any previous second-round match.

The suspense of victory or defeat may lead to a completely different ending——

If Fish wins, there is no doubt that this will be the biggest upset since the start of the US Open, and it will also witness a wild final journey for the local hero.

If Gawain wins, things will be much simpler, and the entire audience will take off their hats and salute Fish, becoming witnesses to the final end of a career.

In other words, no matter what the outcome is, you shouldn't miss it.

Including Gawain himself.

For his part, Gawain is not taking things lightly, despite all the focus on Fish's potential retirement.

If Gawain thinks that Fish is about to retire and his mind is no longer on the field, so he can easily win, then he may stumble, and the final outcome may really be decided.

It can be seen from the performance in the warm-up match that Fish did not fall behind in the face of Murray, who was in great condition. He did not feel awkward and awkward after being away from the battle for a long time. Instead, he went into battle lightly and enjoyed the last part of the journey. Show your best and show your best.

Show your best and show your best.

As the saying goes, “No one can beat someone who truly enjoys it.”

Performance is like that; competition is like that too.

The truth is that simple.

What's more, Fish is already a dangerous opponent.

Although the comparison is not entirely accurate, Fish and Kei Nishikori are slightly similar in some aspects-

Grab the rising point.

Fish's game is very aggressive. He is a typical player who is better at offense than defense. More often than not, he basically gives up defense and goes all-out. The entire rhythm is very compact, often grabbing rising points, and refusing to retreat to avoid avoidance. Falling into passivity, his steps are always near the bottom line.

The difference between Fish and Kei Nishikori is that Fish has stronger physical fitness. From serve to forehand, he has more strength. With more control, the threat factor rises sharply.

Moreover, Fish plays very smartly. Although he doesn't like calculations, relying on his excellent touch support, the choice of return route often brings surprises.

In terms of impact and pressure, Fish is a step above Kei Nishikori. Although the lower limit is lower, offense still relies on touch. If you don't play well, you may lose the game hastily; but at the same time, the upper limit is also higher. The pressing and flowing attack is indeed a joy to watch.

For those players who are not familiar with Fish's style, they are often involved in Fish's rhythm before they have time to breathe, making it difficult to breathe.

Including Federer and Nadal are no exception. Even if they are familiar with each other, they still need some adaptation and adjustment time every time they meet.

On the contrary, Djokovic and Murray are not afraid of this style. They roll around and go around, changing the rhythm of the round through baseline battles, like quicksand, slowly dragging Fish into their habits. in a slow pace.

For Gao Wen, he is not afraid of Fish's playing style, but he needs time to adapt, everything is new.

Facts also prove this.

"4:6".

Gawain, lose one game first.

The cheers at Arthur Ashe Stadium were not one-sided. They still supported Gawain and applauded the wonderful round; but when Fish cashed in on the fourth set point and won the first set, the stadium was still crazy.

Losing one's mind and madness, it seems that one can really witness the miracle of Fish's career farewell tour, just like Sampras's last US Open, a low-key campaign, but miraculously persisted all the way to the end.

This was the first set Gao Wen lost at this year's US Open.

Is it because Gawain took it lightly? Or does the impact of injuries still exist objectively?

No, not at all, purely because Fish played really well.

The shots were fast, flat, heavy and heavy, and the impact of the entire rhythm and power was very obvious; and the feel of the first set was excellent. In the key points, all the shots aimed at the corners were in bounds, and there were many wonderful top five shots. .

With no excuses or reasons, Fish won the first set with a superior performance.

Even though Gawain was prepared and went all out, the first set was still inevitably involved in Fish's rhythm. It was not like grass but still had the feeling of a grass game. It was indeed a rare experience.

but.

The reason for the defeat in the first set was not just Fish's outstanding performance. After all, this is tennis, and the confrontation between you and me is the focus.

To be precise, it can also be viewed from another angle. The main reason is that in the first set, Gawain failed to suppress Fish's attack, and the quality of his return was not able to limit Fish, so Fish played smoothly.

From all aspects, Fish does not look like a player who is ready to retire. Once again showing the talent and ability of a top player, Gawain must be vigilant.

Otherwise, the trend of the second set is also unknown.
