Chapter 1275 Rebellious Psychology

No one thought that the doubles champions of this year's Monte Carlo Masters would be Gao Wen and Dimitrov; moreover, the two players eliminated the top seeds along the way and won the championship unexpectedly.

No one expected that after the doubles final, the most wonderful and moving scene in competitive sports would be presented on the scene. Monte Carlo once again showed people the city's passion for tennis, which is something hidden in the blood. Although it has not been shown for a long time, it has never disappeared.

This game, this victory, this championship... everything, is indeed of extraordinary significance. No wonder all the audience joined in the carnival.

In fact, it’s not just Dimitrov.

It is also of great significance to Gawain.

In fact, it happened just yesterday. After Gawain lost to Ferrer and was eliminated in the quarterfinals, the negative frenzy on social networks once again rose strongly.

Although Gao Wen has won two consecutive Grand Slam titles and three consecutive Masters titles, in the eyes of many haters, he still cannot convince the public.

In fact, just like Murray, the view that Murray is a fake and unworthy of his reputation has always had a large number of supporters on social networks.

Not only the audience, but also a part of the media, have always refused to face up to Gao Wen's performance and refused to acknowledge Gao Wen's position in the tour.

The phrases "unworthy of the position" and "fake champion" are enough to easily deny all the difficulties and hard work behind Gao Wen's miracle.

In the eyes of his haters, even if Gawain defeated three giants in a row to win the championship at Melbourne Park, there are many reasons to deny his achievement.

What's more, Gawain emerged like a comet, and in less than a year he will break the giant pattern and will replace Federer as the new world No. 2 next week. The overwhelming praise and compliments from the media have made their rebellious psychology reach its peak, and they express resistance with all their heart and soul.

then--

When Gawain lost to Ferrer, the sour comments on social networks reached their peak because they finally got a rare opportunity.

"Look, a fake is a fake. He can't even beat Ferrell."

"As time goes on, the true nature of the matter will be revealed."

"Friends, let me tell you a joke: Gao Wen, the world's second."

"When I arrived at the red soil, I immediately became exhausted. I am indeed a three-second man. I can't last more than three seconds."

"Haha, hahahaha, look at how ugly Gawain looks when he loses the game."

"I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: Gao Wen is at most in the top 10 in the world, but he's still a long way from being in the top 5."

"So, this is the level of a Grand Slam champion, haha."

"The ATP ranking system is garbage. A guy like Gao Wen is going to be No. 2 in the world next week. What the hell is going on?"

"Stop bragging, stop bragging, media or fans, you are not embarrassed, I am embarrassed for you, with Gao Wen's performance, he is still the second in the world, it is hard to be in the top 100 in the world."

"Ah, Gawain is out, the world is quiet, and now I can finally enjoy this year's Monte Carlo."

Bustling with people.

Overwhelming.

Everywhere.

The confused netizens passing by had a lot of question marks in their heads. Seeing such a momentum and such a situation, they thought that Gao Wen had done something so big that it angered God and the people and triggered attacks from the entire Internet. The massive curses and provocations made ordinary fans unable to bear it and they were completely unable to understand what was going on.

Not only passers-by, but also many tennis journalists are also full of questions, so a freelance writer raised the topic on social networks:

"If you don't understand, just ask, why do so many people hate Gao Wen? In my opinion, he is very good, even if we put aside his achievements in the arena for the moment."

"On the court, he plays with style, passion and courage; off the court, he is humorous, approachable, handsome, and only 19 years old."

"Most importantly, watching his games is really infectious. Even if it's not for work, I am willing to pay for tickets to watch his games."

"Isn't such a player likable?"

Obviously, the freelance writer is also confused as to why there is such deep malice on social networks. This is not in line with common sense.

Such a small topic attracted more than 3,000 comments in a short time, and the number is still rising. Originally, this freelance writer did not have much attention, but this topic created a wave, and the bustling discussion started a tit-for-tat confrontation in the comment section.

Obviously, Djokovic's fans were the first to be hit, and they did not hide their hatred and disgust at all. They were undoubtedly the main force of "Gao Wen's haters", stirring up a storm on social networks and launching all-round attacks, as if the Internet was a boxing ring outside the stadium.

But what else?

"Personally, I have no ill feelings towards Gawain, but I don't like the media's excessive hype, as if he is some kind of savior."

"I don't like the angle of your reports. You always emphasize that he is only 19 years old, that he is the first record-breaker in Asia, that he is subverting the Big Four era, and that he may become the world's number one. Yes, yes, yes, I know, but you don't have to say it every time."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I don't like you comparing him to the giants, as if the giants were a stepping stone for him."

"You have questions? I have too. Why does it seem like Gao Wen is the only player in ATP? Every time he is mentioned, you all get excited. What about other players? Please, there are many, many more players on the tour who deserve attention and praise, okay?"

"I don't know either, but every time I see you guys licking his boots when he's mentioned, I get disgusted."

"Let's be objective. Gao Wen is good. He is indeed good, but Jesus Christ, he has only been a professional for less than a year. Why do you two act like crazy?"

“Answer: You guys.”

"I am very disgusted by one thing. You think that Gawain's sudden appearance saved the sport of tennis and brought it back to the topic and focus. But in my opinion, the heroes who popularized tennis around the world were Federer and Nadal. It took them a full decade to accomplish this feat. And now you are giving the credit to a young man who has only been a professional for less than a year? Ridiculous."

"Isn't it because of you guys? He's being praised everywhere, I'm really tired of it."

Blah blah.

A full blowout.

Despite the different angles, positions and viewpoints, we can still glimpse some clues of a common point: rebellious psychology.

From all aspects, Gao Wen appeared too quickly and in too short a time, without enough time for accumulation.

Firstly, it impacts the existing structure of professional tennis, and veteran fans are likely to feel disgusted.

Secondly, there is a lack of fan base and more proof.

So, although in the eyes of supporters, they have no reason to dislike Gawain, in the eyes of opponents, Gawain is full of loopholes: when you hate someone, even that person's breathing becomes a disturbance.
