Chapter 1277 Unloading the Burden
For Gao Wenhei, this was indeed a very, very difficult time. In less than twenty hours, he went from the bottom to the top and then fell back to the bottom again.
Injury to the bones.
Total loss of face.
Originally, they were full of confidence in the combination of Sock and Pospisil. From all aspects, the second seed was the best candidate for the championship.
They were even ready to attack Gawain collectively. After losing the singles match and the doubles match, the last fig leaf was torn off, and it was a disgrace.
"High quality goods = parallel imports".
Then, they can welcome Monday in this way, and even if Gao Wen's world ranking reaches a new high, they can still embarrass him severely.
This was also proved in the first set. Although the Gao Wen combination turned the situation around in the final stage and crossed the finish line first, the tension of the whole situation was clearly visible, which further confirmed the strong strength of the Sock combination. They had every reason to believe that the final victory would still belong to the Sock combination.
However……
Retreat again and again.
Total collapse.
I can't bear to watch it.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. The "Gao Wen haters" could no longer control themselves and a large number of players went offline halfway through the second set.
After that, there was no later, because the voices of the haters were completely drowned out, and the social networks were filled with cheers.
"Ahhh! Champion! Another Masters champion!"
"I never expected that Gao Wen could bring surprises in doubles matches."
"Strength! I am convinced in bold letters!"
“Loss in one place, gain in another. Who could have thought that in this year’s third Masters Tournament, Gao Wen still did not return empty-handed!”
"He can do it on hard courts and clay courts. He is indeed Gawain! Is there any chance for him to win Roland Garros this year?"
"Sure enough, Gao Wen still needs more time to adapt. He won the doubles championship in his first official clay court tournament in his career. What kind of Hollywood script is this!"
Praise, praise, and more praise. The overwhelming praise filled the entire screen, and the complete disappearance of the haters brought the long-awaited peace to the social network.
Then, the fans came online in full force——
Last month, in Indian Wells, Gawain and Dimitrov teamed up for the first time. In addition to the tournament officials, the ATP also joined in the fun: Dimitrov has always attracted much attention because of his handsome appearance. Even professional players often joke that he has replaced Felipe Lopez as the "most beautiful man" in ATP. Dimitrov himself often jokes about this, and Sharapova also joked about it in an interview.
Later, Gawain emerged, and her elegant and clear temperament sparked widespread discussion among fans. The nickname "Girl Knight" from her college days also slowly spread in the tour. Fans could often be seen holding up knight-shaped or knight-imaged cheering signs, which became a beautiful landscape.
So, ATP called this group "The Knights", jokingly called them the "Backstreet Boys" of the new era, and gave them the idol title of girl killer.
Although netizens shouted "revealing one's age" and that the new generation should prefer "One Direction", fans have expressed their approval, and the name "The Cavaliers" has spread like wildfire. In just a few weeks, it has attracted a large number of fans on social networks and even has its own fan accounts.
This time in Monte Carlo, young female fans were once again fascinated by the "Knights", and social networks were filled with cheers.
"One word: handsome; two words: very handsome; three words: handsome handsome handsome!"
"Ahhh, why are my tears streaming down my mouth!"
"It's a dream. The Knights will join hands to compete in Wimbledon. That will definitely be the most spectacular scenery!"
"Is there a fashion magazine that invites the Knights to take some photos? I'll buy them, and you can take all my wallet, right?"
"Because of the Cavaliers, I watched live tennis for the first time in my life. I didn't understand it at all but I was screaming the whole time."
"My mother asked me why I was kneeling to watch the live broadcast of the game."
Noisy.
turbulent.
Heat wave.
Then, a miracle happened.
A day ago, gloating, kicking someone when he's down, and making sarcastic remarks all surged towards Gawain.
A day later, praise, cheers, and awe were pouring in and purifying different corners of the Internet.
There was less than twenty hours between the two events, but it seemed like two different worlds.
In competitive sports, the best way to respond to doubts is to win.
If one victory is not enough, then two; if that is still not enough, then upgrade to a championship. One championship after another will always silence the opponents.
In Monte Carlo, Gao Wen used a doubles championship trophy to silence all those doubts and controversies.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
So! Not only Dimitrov, when the audience stood up and applauded and cheered, Gawain was also moved and joined the cheering.
Shouting, clapping, jumping, partying...enjoying the sweetness of victory, enjoying the moment of championship.
The enthusiasm continued until the end of the award ceremony, spreading from the center court all the way to the locker room, and as the audience left one after another, it scattered in every corner of Monte Carlo.
In the locker room, Gao Wen, who was preparing to pack his luggage, finally had time to open his mobile phone to check the flood of congratulatory messages that were almost overflowing.
Then, Gao Wen saw the message from Jiang Yanyun.
"Xiao Wu, great fight!"
"Mom knows that you have been under a lot of pressure recently and things have not been easy. In fact, everything has become more and more difficult since Melbourne. It's like when we were young, we always thought that the troubles of youth would disappear as we grew up, and we would have answers to all problems when we grow up. But only when we really grow up do we know that this is not the case. Age and time will not bring answers, and things will not be easy."
"Mom doesn't have the answers to these difficult questions, and you don't want us to worry, so you don't say anything and just carry it all by yourself."
"Mom just wants to tell you that you are doing very well, really very well. Ignore those people and those gossips, just focus on yourself, keep moving forward at your own pace, keep fighting, but if you fail, don't be discouraged, because you are already very good."
"You have to believe that no matter what happens, Dad and Mom will always stand by you."
"Mom likes to watch you play, because every time I see your game, I can feel that you really like it, but recently, mom can't feel that. Mom doesn't know what you are facing, and I don't know how to solve it, but if you are tired, come back."
“Mom is always here.”
“It would be nice to see you enjoying playing again.”
"Finally, Xiao Wu, you played beautifully today. Really, you played really beautifully."
One word, one sentence.
Some of it was repetitive, some of it was not fluent, and there were even some typos; moreover, one could tell at a glance that these were words that Jiang Yanyun would never say out loud under normal circumstances, so she chose words. Perhaps, this was the only way to fully express her inner thoughts, but there was still a hint of clumsiness between the lines.
But as I looked, my vision became blurred.
Gao Wen was a little embarrassed.
