Laughter, one after another, layer upon layer, roaring continuously -
This looked less like a press conference and more like a talk show.
Gradually, more and more reporters could be seen gathering at the door of the press conference room, especially French local reporters, who stopped one after another.
Compared with the other three Grand Slams, the preferences of the French media have always been very clear and definite. They like elegant and humorous gentlemen and ladies. Even in competitive sports, they need to maintain unique character and temperament. Personal charm can be felt both on and off the court, not just in tennis players.
It is also because of this that the French media has a special preference for Federer. The Swiss king's elegance and humor always win applause in Paris.
In sharp contrast, Nadal and Serena Williams also had to step aside here. Later, in order to win the hearts of the French Open audience and media, Serena Williams even settled in Paris for a long time, learning French while adapting to life and integrating into the local people.
The French media has always had its own persistence. Even in the global entertainment frenzy, they have always maintained their own character. It is somewhat similar to Wimbledon, but in a completely different way, they have guarded the tradition of Roland-Garros and become a beautiful landscape.
Therefore, it is very rare to see the media particularly favor a certain player at the French Open, which further highlights Federer's uniqueness.
Originally, the French media paid attention to Gawain only because "he was a hot topic", but deep down, they did not treat Gawain in a special way.
The "image" created in the era of social networks is often just a personal setting. Once real face-to-face contact occurs, all bubbles will be burst.
It is also because of this that although the pre-match/post-match press conferences of Gawain were lively, they were far from being packed like those in Melbourne.
It was not until today, the first day of Roland Garros, that the media reporters gradually stopped because of Gao Wen.
This is not the first time.
Following last year's Paris Masters, Gawain came to Paris again, and the aura surrounding this superstar has changed significantly again.
Step by step, the local media can feel the temperament and charm of this new generation leader, who really shows a unique style. Like the French Open audience, the picky and demanding media reporters have always been clear about what they like and hate, and they will never be stingy in expressing:
If they dislike something, they will not hide it, even speak harshly; if they like something, they will express it passionately, boldly and directly.
Just like now.
It was crowded, and even though the press conference had already started for nearly twenty minutes, reporters could still be seen joining in continuously.
Interest is slowly increasing.
In the not-so-spacious space, there was laughter and joy, but no one remembered the original question -
Wait, how did they get into the topic of birth certificates? More importantly, why didn't the divergent thinking feel strange at all? No one raised any objections? And they were immersed in it? As a result, it was Gawain who remembered it, in a unique way:
Amidst the laughter, Gao Wen lowered his head, took out his mobile phone, and started playing with it openly.
reporter:???
This thread doesn't seem right, does it? Can anyone explain what this is?
Could it be that something else happened during the short time when they were laughing uncontrollably? Or was Gawain really looking for his birth certificate?
Moreover, Gao Wen was very dedicated and serious. He just left all the reporters aside. Is this sure to be okay? Is this polite? "Gao Wen?"
The reporter couldn't help but shout out. Although there were no more words, he could sense their irritation and astonishment:
Is it really okay to be so unprofessional?
The local media really disliked such impolite behavior. Playing with a mobile phone during a press conference, is this serious? That look, that expression, if Gauvin didn't give a reasonable explanation and a formal apology, the French media might just eat him alive.
Gao Wen, however, seemed unhurried and even raised his hand to signal everyone to wait for a moment.
Then--
Quiet.
There was complete silence.
The entire press conference really fell into silence, waiting for Gao Wen for a moment.
Cough cough.
A reporter coughed, but it was like a thunderclap, so that he swallowed the rest of the cough and his whole body stiffened.
All the reporters looked at each other in disbelief.
What is going on?
The previous second, there was laughter and joy.
The next second, the atmosphere became tense and cold winds blew.
Even riding a roller coaster isn't as thrilling as this.
So, does it really not matter?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The reporters had a myriad of thoughts in their minds, and just when the surging thoughts were about to burst through their brains, Gao Wen looked up.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"I just texted Dominic to congratulate him and to challenge him."
this……
As he spoke, Gao Wen also showed his mobile phone screen to prove his statement.
"We have been looking forward to competing in a formal competition. Dominic and I both firmly believe that we are the ones who can win and will not give up an inch. Therefore, the only way is to have a real competition. Now the opportunity has finally come, and both of us have started sharpening our knives."
Judging from the content of his words, he was very sharp; but in fact, Gawain's tone and expression were always smiling, exuding a sense of lightness and joy.
At this moment, one can deeply feel that Gawain and Tim are indeed very close friends, and they probably often joke like this in private.
The reporters at the scene were slightly stunned:
They thought they were offended, and would never buy into Gawain's words; but why did they feel a little cute now?
Friendship at the age of eighteen or nineteen seems to be like this, with a little bit of arrogance and narcissism, and building bonds amidst the bumps and bruises.
Pure, simple, no conflicts of interest, everything is so sincere.
Gao Wen seemed to be completely unaware of what was wrong and continued speaking with a smile.
"Congratulations to Dominic. The past six months have not been easy for him. There have been ups and downs and he has faced many difficulties."
"But now, he's finally getting back on track. Having won in Nice last week, I believe he has found his best form and is ready to move on."
"That's why I'm looking forward to facing Dominic across the net and giving my all to finish the match, hoping that the one who performs better will win in the end."
You can feel the sincerity from Gawain's eyes——
As Thiem's friend, Gawain accompanied his friend closely through the ups and downs of this half season, until before the French Open, when Thiem's decision to go to Nice to practice through the competition finally paid off. He arrived in Paris with a championship trophy, looking forward to reaching the deep rounds of this Grand Slam.
Obviously, neither Gawain nor Thiem wants to face each other so early, but the draw has been set and they are both gearing up and looking forward to the confrontation.
