Although the match between the Italian girl Paulini and the successor Schneider of Sava is over, the resulting controversy seems to have just begun!
When local darling Paolini and Roma tragedy maker Schneider met in the quarter-finals, there was a constant concern that the Russian girl, who is known as Sharapova's successor, would be able to withstand the pressure and live up to the expectations of her supporters under the pressure of the home crowd.
The battle between Paulini and Schneider is definitely one of the most tense battles in the women's singles quarterfinals.
Before the two officially played each other, considering that Schneider had played an amazing score in Rome a few days ago, many people thought that Bolini, who did not have an advantage in height, was very likely to be upset even if the odds were optimistic.
Why is anyone so confident in Schneider? It starts with the first set.
At that time, I saw that Paulini played quite freely in the cheering of the home audience, and quickly achieved a dream start of 4-0, and there were fans and netizens in the live broadcast room who bluntly said that they felt that Schneider had the feeling of being beaten back to his original shape, as a girl who was pinned on by others, she must have recognized her strength, but she behaved so much, which was really surprising!
However, soon the situation on the field changed dramatically!
Schneider stabilized his position when it seemed that he was about to collapse, not only overtaking Paulini in the score by winning five games in a row, but in the final tie-break, he swept the Italian girl's face and won the first set with a strong reversal.
After seeing Schneider's violent forehand power recover, it also made people look forward to the second set of the two's match, wanting to see if the Russian girl can finally beat the bookmaker's odds in the face with a two-set victory, and defeat Paulini in front of the Italian local audience to lock a place in the semifinals.
Surprisingly, from the second set, the Italian audience stood directly on the opposite side of the Russian girl.
Especially after Schneider became the absolute leader with a 4-0 advantage in the second set, the cheers of the local audience in support of Paolini reached a climax.
How tough is Schneider's situation in this set? As long as you make a mistake, you will be booed by the audience!
At first, the Russian girl's mood was relatively stable, and she just wanted to try to end the fight as soon as possible. But after the audience's interference seriously affected her, Schneider finally couldn't tolerate it, she hoped to get some justice for herself by shouting and venting to the audience, and never thought that more boos and cheers poured in her, and finally Paulini seized the opportunity of her psychological turmoil to tie the score in six consecutive games.
Losing the second set with the advantage was tied by a big score, but fortunately the match was not over yet, and Schneider believed that he still had a chance to win.
Under the strong performance of the Russian girl, Borini did not carry the performance of the second set into the deciding set, but fell behind 0-2 from the beginning. Seeing that the local darling was in danger again, the Italian audience once again repeated the-for-tat scene with Schneider in the second set.
I thought that Schneider would ignore the lessons he had learned before, ignore how the local crowd treated him, and focus on the game itself to win in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the Russian girl and the audience clashed again, which completely ignited their anger, and finally the referee Zhang Juan had to remind the troublesome audience many times to let the game continue.
In the face of such a scene, the young Schneider's expression that seemed to cry but not crying made people obviously feel that her mentality was completely unbalanced. As a result, as in the second set, Borini reversed the Russian girl in six consecutive games and advanced to the semifinals.
After the game, when everyone was talking about this game, although they praised Paulini for coming back from behind the score twice, they still believed that her victory was inseparable from the help of the Italian audience, and if there was no serious interference from the audience to Schneider, it was really suspenseful whether she could win in the end.
The defeated Schneider was also considered to have crushed her with the applause of the audience, paying a heavy price for her youth and undeserved impulsiveness. Someone bluntly said that if the Russian girl at that time had been more resistant to interference, not so young and vigorous to start a conflict with the Italian audience, and only focused on the game, maybe the game would have ended up with another result, "I believe that after experiencing the incident of the Roman audience against him, the successor of Sava will grow up more quickly, knowing that everything else is insignificant compared to victory." ”(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
