Chapter 1224 A Great Harvest
From leading 3:0 to losing the first set 3:6, the trend of this set was obviously not what Puy expected.
In the second set, Pouille's confidence was shattered, and he obviously couldn't keep up with the pace. The number of unforced errors increased sharply.
Facing Federer, who is the king and the giant, their strength is natural. As a challenger, they always maintain a tenacious mentality.
Facing Gao Wen, who is a new generation player, even younger than himself, he should be the challenger, but the psychological position is slightly different.
So, last year when facing Federer in Paris, Pouille did not collapse and fought to the end; this year when facing Gawain in Monte Carlo, Pouille collapsed.
“5:0”.
Gawain was far ahead, having already won eleven games in a row, and was just a little bit away from delivering a double yolk, one invisible and one visible.
It was not until the end of the game that Pouille won a face-saving game and avoided completely losing the game. The numbers were obviously not good.
Despite this, Gao Wen did not fluctuate in the serve-winning game, only losing one point and successfully converting the first match point.
“6:3”, “6:1”.
The game is over.
Gao Wen won the first clay court season of his career. This was his first official clay court match and his first from NCAA to ATP.
Moreover, Gao Wen continued his winning momentum from the hard court to the clay court, and took the first step in the venue change under the attention and pressure of the public.
Most importantly, after Cilic, Rublev and Zverev, Gao Wen once again defeated a "post-90s" rookie.
In addition, a series of names such as Raonic, Kyrgios, Kojic, Tomic, etc. can be seen in the list of opponents defeated by Gawain.
At present, Gao Wen has maintained a perfect record against the new generation of players, using his actual performance to shut up the haters and prove his strength.
Looking back at this moment, Zverev's "highest consumption" does not seem so shocking. After all, he is not the only player who can't do anything to Gao Wen, and he will not be the last one.
He is the most worthy of the new generation! "The game is great..."
In the last point, Gawain broke the balance of the round with his signature two-handed backhand straight line. At this time, Puy had little fighting spirit left. Realizing that he was caught off guard again, he just moved two steps slightly, and seeing that he could not catch up, he simply gave up and stopped with a slow brake.
Bang! The tennis ball hit the advertising board.
Puy lowered his head and trotted towards the net. The shadow cast by the sunlight covered his face, and his expression could not be seen. It seemed that he was thinking.
When he reached the net, Puy could see Gao Wen who had already arrived. He looked up and shook hands with him in a friendly manner.
“A great match.”
“A great match.”
The two people exchanged a simple greeting, which was a bit polite but without any malice, and the whole atmosphere seemed relatively peaceful.
Puy raised his head and glanced at Gawain.
Calm, gentle, polite and collected.
It was like the whole game.
For a moment, it was difficult for Puyi to determine whether this was a courtesy or a disregard.
Didn't I put enough pressure on Gawain so that he didn't even need to celebrate his victory?
Could it be that his strength was not enough to pose a threat to Gawain, so that he had no emotional fluctuations after the game? Thinking carefully about the whole game and the score, Puy felt depressed.
So, what exactly happened in this game? Everything was fine at the beginning, but what happened afterwards was a blur, and Puy didn't want to refresh his memory.
The complex taste surged on the tip of his tongue. Puyi refused to stay here any longer. He lowered his head again and hurriedly turned away.
Gawain was left there just like that.
But Gauvin didn't mind, and waited for Puy to shake hands with the referee before he stepped forward and completed the final part of the post-match etiquette.
So, what was Gawain thinking at this moment?
"As expected, Puy is more suitable for hard courts."
Like Rublev and Busta, although they all grew up on clay, their own hitting style is more suitable for hard courts.
Imagine that Pouille's fast-connecting style of play is used on fast and hard ground. Relying on rhythm and speed, he can create suppression, and the game will inevitably be more difficult.
Of course, this also proves once again the huge difference between clay and hard court.
This game was a great reward for Gawain, perhaps even more than he had imagined.
Although it was a pity to miss the opportunity to meet Thiem, this match with Pouille opened the door to another world and was still interesting.
This thought kept echoing in Gao Wen's mind and continued until the post-match press conference.
Even if the reporters kept bringing up those same old clichés, it made Gao Wen feel like Sun Wukong surrounded by Tang Monk, and there was far more than just one Tang Monk.
"It's raining, it's time to put away the clothes", the evil sound fills my brain.
However, Gawain's good mood remained unaffected.
I originally thought that the clay court season might be a disaster, but now I unexpectedly discovered that it is actually a carnival. Who can refuse a carnival?

…
“Crash!”
As soon as Gao Wen opened the door of the hotel room, he saw Plan curled up lazily on a beach chair in the sun like a Persian cat.
The floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony becomes a picture frame——
Blue sky, sea.
Sunshine, green trees.
In the quiet and charming picture, you can see Plan staring intently at the laptop on his knees. He is wearing an over-the-knee T-shirt. The afternoon sun lightly outlines the graceful lines. The messy and casual space is filled with a hazy atmosphere, which is dazzling.
It's like a wonderful oil painting.
Obviously, this is a far cry from the scene on the tennis court and completely different from the noise of the press conference. It's like Alice in Wonderland.
Having just finished a whole day of chaos, Gao Wen was obviously not mentally prepared. When he opened the door of the hotel room, he saw an unusual scene -
From training to competition to post-match busyness, everything was a familiar rhythm, so much so that when Gao Wen returned to the hotel room and saw a brand new scene, his first reaction was:
Did I walk into the wrong room?
Subconsciously took a step back and looked at the room number again:
I didn't go wrong.
At this time, Plan's attention was also diverted. He noticed the tall figure at the door. He put down the laptop on his knees, tiptoed, and trotted towards Gao Wen. A bright smile comparable to the sun was on his face, and his chest was filled with cheerful laughter and cheering.
"Congratulations!"
Just when Gawain thought that Plan was about to open his arms for a big hug, Plan suddenly braked and turned in a circle in front of Gawain.
Her hair is flying.
Then, Plan raised his hands high, jumping and cheering like a cheerleader, with his hands clenched into fists to imitate a group of flowers.
"Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah!"
"Congratulations!"
The smile made the light in Gawain's eyes flow. He looked at Pulan helplessly, expressing his dissatisfaction.
It was all for nothing.
