Chapter 1001: Arrogant
In 2015, the Dubai Open Tennis Tournament officially kicked off.
The top four seeds will guard four quarter-points respectively, meet challenges within their respective divisions, and look forward to eventually meeting in the semi-finals.
The 3/4 zone is led by Gawain, and is also considered by many players to be the zone with the greatest potential for breakthroughs. Even though Gawain has just won the Australian Open and defeated three giants in a row at Melbourne Park, his deterrent power is still not enough.
It's not that Gao Wen is not strong enough, but the prestige accumulated by the other three giants in the tour over the years is too strong.
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with other top ten players in the world, Gao Wen is indeed half a body length ahead and has established his own strong image, but standing in front of the Big Four, he is still one body length shorter, just like Wawrinka.
Gawain is facing increasingly fierce attacks.
However, Gawain was very calm and continued his good form in Melbourne Park, performing well in his first tour as world number three.
In the first round, he faced Dutch player Giles Muller, who had just defeated Dimitrov in Rotterdam last week. It was a great fate between them.
Muller is a big shot player with sharp serve and heavy forehand. Although his footsteps are a bit clumsy, his ball hitting quality is excellent. He turned professional in 2001 and is currently ranked 34th in the world. He is still continuously breaking new personal rankings. He can be said to be a "non-seeded player" bomb.
In other words, because they are not in the top 32 in the world rankings, they often cannot be seeds in Grand Slam tournaments, but their overall strength is almost the same as that of the seeded players. If they meet in the first round, it will definitely be very difficult. It is also common for them to break into the second or third round of Grand Slam tournaments.
Last week, his unexpected victory over Dimitrov in Rotterdam and his embarrassing performance against Wawrinka were the best reflections of his strength.
“6:4”, “6:4”.
Gao Wen played smoothly. Although he did not break the serve too many times, his improved condition at the critical moment still resulted in a clean victory.
When the draw was announced, Gao Wen had already anticipated that the news media would definitely not miss the relevant topics. At the post-match press conference, the reporters did not "disappoint" Gao Wen -
really!
"Gawain, please tell me, is this match considered 'sweet revenge' for Gregor?"
Obviously, the two teams in the match were Gao Wen and Muller, and Dimitrov was not even in Dubai, but the reporter's questions could easily summon Dimitrov on the other side of the Atlantic.
So, how did Gawain answer? "No."
A crisp and clear denial, and then... nothing else. He looked at the reporter with a smile, and his eyes said: Your next question better be a little original.
The atmosphere at the press conference was a little tense, but some reporters still had no sense of judgment and kept asking, "Why?"
Gawain's smile was so brilliant and bright, but it was a dagger hidden within.
"Because this is a match between me and Giles, it's about us. If Gregor wants revenge, he should go out on the field himself."
"I'm sure Gregor would love to face Giles again and have a fair fight."
on site:……
There was complete silence.
Only the sound of the air conditioner was whirring.
The sarcasm in Gao Wen's words couldn't be simpler or more direct, like a slap in the face of the reporter, and the surging arrogance subsided in an instant.
However, if you think that is all, you would be underestimating the journalists; they would not surrender so easily.
Next question:
"After Gregor finished the game in Rotterdam..."
The topic had just begun, but Gao Wen already knew what would happen next, and he interrupted the reporter very directly.
"I'm sorry, if all the questions today are about Gregor, then I should be able to leave now, right? You don't need my help to connect with Gregor over the phone, right?"
Understated, but decisive.
And the key point is that Gawain was not angry or upset, and he always had a smile on his face, as if he was enjoying the performance of a group of clowns.
No reporter present was exempt from this.
Then, some reporters couldn't help themselves and even gave up raising their hands, shouting loudly to express their protest: "We have the right to ask questions, you can't control what we should ask and what we shouldn't ask."
Is this a head-on confrontation? Gao Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his smile not only did not disappear, but became even lighter.
"You have the right to ask questions, and I have the right to refuse to answer. I think we are both fair on this point."
Is that all? No.
"To be precise, I even have the right to refuse to attend the press conference. Am I here because I am worried about being fined by the ATP for not attending the press conference?"
"No, of course not."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I am here because I respect the journalists here, respect your professionalism, respect my game and today's opponent, but if you refuse to show any respect, why should I continue to stay here?"
Full firepower!
The sound of cannons booms!
After saying that, Gao Wen stood up and turned to leave the press conference room.
The entire audience was stunned. None of the fifty or so reporters made a sound, and they couldn't even shout to stop Gao Wen.
This...what should I do? All along, the reporters knew clearly that Gao Wen was a difficult person, but from beginning to end, Gao Wen always behaved gracefully and politely; and today, the reporters finally saw Gao Wen's toughness and decisiveness, and his swift and decisive actions instantly suppressed the whole audience.
After a long silence, someone finally couldn't help but blurt out, "Is he playing big? Is he getting cocky after winning the Australian Open?"
Guzman-Morgan was very, very dissatisfied and expressed sarcasm in a sarcastic manner. He was displeased with everything Gawain did.
It wasn't because Gawain had offended him, or because Gawain had defeated the player he supported, but because -
Everyone agrees.
Praise, praise, and praise; flattery, flattery, and still flattery.
Ever since Gawain came out of nowhere, all the praises have been pouring towards him, as if "there is nothing like it in heaven and on earth", and all of them are admiring him, with an attitude that makes Morgan really unable to accept it.
After the Australian Open, the situation has intensified. Now social networks are full of all kinds of "Gowan praise", such as the next world number one, the future overlord of tennis, the first person to break the Big Four pattern... and so on, as if Gowan has already reached the pinnacle.
It is no wonder that Gao Wen is so arrogant and conceited, because everyone is praising him as if he is the master of the universe.
Morgan didn't like it.
I originally thought that these words would get a lot of support, after all, they are all allies, but the reality is not the case -
The gazes that came from all directions were filled with anger, contempt, disgust, and rejection, almost swallowing Morgan up, and there was even disgust and disdain.
That look was as if Morgan was a piece of chewing gum stuck on the side of the road.
What kind of look is that! (End of this chapter)
