Chapter 1787 Heartbeat Like a Drum

The matchup between the top four was good, very good and worthy of applause.

But compared with the matchups in the top four, the ones that really deserve attention are the matchups in the top eight and the top 16.

These small divisions are the core attraction, and they are also the highlight of the second week of the Grand Slam. These two rounds are often used as a watershed to determine the peak attendance of the Grand Slam and the expectations for the subsequent semi-finals and finals. Everything Everything is maintained here.

Thump, thump, thump... With his heart beating like a drum and his blood boiling, under the gaze of countless eyes, Gawain pulled out the top eight matchup list.

Ou Huang, indeed Ou Huang, once again showed Gawain's good luck, which can't help but remind him of the magical journey where he emerged as a dark horse last year. It seems that Gawain does have some magic power in Flushing, as shown in The quarterfinal match in front of us did bring some unexpected surprises.

Djokovic versus Ferrer.

Murray versus Kei Nishikori.

Federer versus Wawrinka.

Gawain versus Berdych.

——Wow, wow, wow, wow, there were shouts and applause at the same time, and the entire media center fell into a collective frenzy.

In fact, there are two focal points in the first eight matchups.

First, who will Wawrinka play against?

Second, who does Gawain play against?

Because of Nadal's continued slump, the world ranking has slipped to ninth. He will fall into that small division, which is also the biggest highlight of the draw. Just like this year's French Open, Nadal fell into Gao Wen's quarter division. It easily sparked a frenzy of topics, and in the end it lived up to expectations.

But before Nadal's name was drawn, the positions of Gawain and Wawrinka were the absolute focus during the quarterfinal matchup.

They have undoubtedly become the leaders of the Challenger League. Like Murray, they are two Grand Slam champions. Who among these three players can take the lead in breaking through and winning the third Grand Slam will undoubtedly be a focus; at the same time, the giant members Whether it can withstand the impact and continue to defend its rule is another focus.

result!

Gao Wen personally pulled Wawrinka into the lower half, and formed a matchup with Federer, and the highlights began to come out one after another.

——Swiss Derby, don’t forget that at Roland Garros, Wawrinka eliminated Federer to advance to the semi-finals, and narrowly defeated Gawain in five sets to reach the final, and won the championship in one go.

——If Gao Wen breaks into the semi-finals, will it be a rematch of the French Open semi-finals or a rematch of the Wimbledon semi-finals? Any matchup is worth looking forward to.

——Gao Wen and Wawrinka both entered the second half, which also means that Murray has an opportunity in the top half and does not need to face direct competitors. Perhaps his biggest threshold is still Djokovic. Not long ago Will Murray, who has made a breakthrough in Toronto, have a good opportunity for a full recovery?

——Ferrell, who returned from injury, missed Wimbledon and the North American Series. Almost no one thought he would come to New York to compete, but he showed up; the same goes for Kei Nishikori, so the two returned from injury What performance can the players perform? What role will they play?

——On the whole, the first half is obviously weaker, and Djokovic and Murray are undoubtedly the favorites; the second half is obviously stronger. Once they enter the quarterfinals, everyone has a chance, very, very There is a possibility of a scuffle. Is this Federer's best chance?

There are really too many possibilities, but any direction is worth looking forward to and worthy of attention.

I have to say that this draw is not perfect, but it is meaningful and can be interpreted slowly. Different developments may make the match before you full of surprises.

Yujia took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Although Wawrinka was drawn to the lower half, which was not a good thing, at least he did not enter the 4/4 area. For Gawain, this is a good matchup; now What really needs to be nervous and worrying about is Nadal's position.

No one wants Nadal to fall into his own division.

Of course, for Gao Wen, the situation at the US Open this time is a bit special. Compared with the top 16 and quarterfinals, the draw in the first three rounds is more important. Gao Wen needs competition and confrontation, otherwise he will be upset. The first week is not impossible. The real key lies in the second half of the drawing ceremony.

Despite this, when the draw ceremony came to the top 16 matchups, it was still obvious that the entire media center could feel the uncontrollable excitement.

The air is burning——

Then……

Wow.

There was an exclamation and an uproar. They looked at each other with dumbfounded gazes, but they had to clap their hands and cheer. The cheers swarmed from all directions, and it seemed that the sound of blood rolling could be clearly heard.

Even Yu Jia was no exception. His eyes widened and he turned to look at Zhan Jun and the others.

Zhan Jun showed a smile, "Gao Wen is so lucky...haha, hahaha."

Hu Litao was also similar. He looked at the lottery carefully, and finally tilted his head and couldn't help but laugh, "Well, how do you interpret this?"

For a while, I couldn't find an accurate adjective. Should I say it was good or bad?

But in the end, the laughter couldn't help but gurgling in the chest, and the heart that was hanging high and almost blocking the throat could finally return to the chest.

Ou Huang is still Ou Huang——

The really interesting thing is that Gawain did not simply draw an "easy draw" for himself that would make people suspect that he was operating behind the scenes, but instead drew an interesting and infinitely possible draw for the entire men's singles matchup. Anticipation for the event began early.

This is the real power.

Even the haters are dumbfounded when they see this draw. They can shout that the draw of their favorite players is the most difficult, but they cannot deny that the draw of other players also has their own pitfalls. Compared with Wen For Bourdain, this draw is more worthy of interpretation.

It is often said that there is no absolutely perfect draw, and there is no absolutely bad draw. After all, everything is relative, not absolute.

Even in the death zone, there may be many surprises, and the one who stands out in the end may not be the most popular.

Similarly, even in the weakest division, it is not necessarily a good thing. Winning in the first half was too easy and the state in the second half could not keep up, leading to the elimination.

In addition, is it better to have a lottery that “encounters strong enemies one after another in the first half and is relaxed and comfortable in the second half” or a lottery that is “relatively easy in the first half and has to deal with monsters in the second half”? Different people have different opinions. After all, everyone has different opinions. The adjustment and grasp of one's own state are all different and cannot be generalized.

Everything is possible.

But there is no doubt that Gawain drew a very interesting draw, very, very interesting.

really!

As the last Grand Slam of the year, the increase in variables makes the event full of infinite development possibilities.

Zhan Jun's eyes and mouth were full of smiles, "I think Gao Wen himself is also looking forward to a new test and challenge. He is different from us. He should be very satisfied with this lottery."

Hu Litao curled his lips, "He should have never complained."

That magnanimity and confidence, as part of Gao Wen's playing temperament, has evolved into the reason why countless fans are crazy about him.
