Chapter 1345 Post-match service
Clear eyes, firm gaze——
It can be seen from Gawain's eyes that he believes in Tim, and truly believes that Tim is a strong opponent. This is definitely not just because of friendship or polite words. At the same time, he also believes in himself, and he must go all out to win the final victory.
This belief shone brightly amid the silence of the entire audience, eclipsing all the doubts and provocations.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The air in the press conference room was quietly surging.
But why?
The reporters were baffled.
In their view, the self-confidence and strength of "looking down on all the other mountains" is human nature, and even the Big Four are no exception. After reaching the top after experiencing numerous challenges, it is completely normal to face the challenges of low rankings and young players again, even if there is some pride and contempt.
Arrogance and conceit can also be understood as domineering and strong.
It is also because of this that there are countless cases of top players being overthrown by dark horses. Among the various complex reasons, lack of sufficient psychological preparation must play a role. Whether it is contempt or arrogance, the bottom line is that they are not fully prepared for such situations.
However, Gawain did not——
It can be deeply felt that Gao Wen is confident, strong and determined, but at the same time, he respects these low-ranking and young players from the bottom of his heart.
It's not just Tim.
This wisdom is evolving into a unique charm that is fascinating, so is Gawain really only nineteen years old?
In fact, if reporters could know the future blueprint as clearly as Gao Wen: Thiem will be able to reach the Grand Slam finals four times in the future and win the US Open championship in 2020, but the French Open has always been his best tournament, reaching the semi-finals for four consecutive years and the finals for two consecutive years. He even won the title of "Little Prince of Clay" and is generally regarded as Nadal's successor.
Then, reporters will be able to understand Gao Wen. He remains humble, respectful and nervous. Even though there is such a big gap between his world ranking and Thiem's, he will never take it lightly. Standing on the clay court, he will greet the second-round match with the most expectant and positive attitude.
Unfortunately, the journalists didn’t know that no one can predict the future.
Thus, Gawain appeared in front of reporters like a mystery, inadvertently showing his charm and conquering Paris little by little.
Even after the press conference ended, the reporters were still discussing the issue. I could hear their confused conversations.
“Has he always been like this?”, “Was he like this in Melbourne before?”, “God, is he really only nineteen?”…
I'm afraid Gao Wen himself did not expect such a situation, but even if Gao Wen knew the truth, he would not be able to solve this mystery for the reporters.
Maybe it's good this way, retaining a hint of mystery, like magic.
After the interview, Gao Wen did not immediately go to the gym for post-match relaxation training, but went all the way back to the lounge of Suzanne Lenglen Stadium.
From a distance, Gao Wen could see Sinner staring intently at the big TV screen.
At this time, Wawrinka's match was in progress.
Last year, Wawrinka arrived at Roland Garros with huge expectations and pressure. The attention brought by the two championships of Australian Open and Monte Carlo reached a new height. He was once considered the favorite to win the French Open. As a result, he was eliminated in the first round, which subsequently triggered a wave of condemnation from the media.
Obviously, Wawrinka did not handle the pressure well, and was in the center of the storm, losing himself in the light and shadow.
This year, the situation is completely different.
On the one hand, he failed to defend his titles at both the Australian Open and Monte Carlo, and his performance in the clay court season was up and down, and all the attention has almost disappeared.
On the other hand, the "Challenger Alliance" has risen in full swing. He is no longer Don Quixote who challenges the Big Four alone, and the pressure has been greatly relieved.
Therefore, Wawrinka's performance has been much better when he stepped onto Roland Garros again. Moreover, he has good luck in the draw this year, facing Marsel-Ilhan in the first round.
Ranked 85th in the world, he has only won two main draw matches at the French Open in his entire career.
Starting the match in a low profile, lowering expectations, and even being squeezed out of Philippe Chatrier and Suzanne Lenglen in the first round, Wawrinka quietly stepped onto Court No. 1.
Maybe, Wawrinka can find his form instead.
Just as Gao Wen arrived, Wawrinka broke serve and took the lead in the first set.
"ah!"
Sinner clenched his fists, stood up suddenly and cheered for Wawrinka.
As a result, Sieglinde and Mark, who were sitting next to them, were both frightened.
Unlike Sinner, Sieglinde and Mark were both watching the comings and goings in the lounge.
The final match of today's Suzanne Lenglen Stadium was in charge of Ivanovic.
Although Kei Nishikori's game was in progress at this time, Ivanovic had already arrived at the Suzanne Lenglen Stadium to start preparing. The staff coming and going suddenly became surging, and at this moment one could feel the "superstar style".
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After all, Ivanovic is currently the leading star of Adidas. In the women's tennis market, she is the only market superstar who can compete with Sharapova and Serena Williams. As long as it is her game, there is no need to worry about the box office.
It is precisely because of this that when Ivanovic was squeezed to Suzanne Lenglen, it caused an exclamation; but at the same time, Ivanovic was able to squeeze out Gavin and take the position of Suzanne Lenglen's main appearance today. In Paris, her appeal is indeed far greater than that of Gavin.
Sieglinde and Mark were both amazed, but they were severely frightened by Sinner.
"Yannick!"
Mark shouted, and then he saw Gao Wen coming towards him. He was startled and stood up suddenly, like a student who was caught eating snacks by the teacher.
"Gawain!"
I stood up and saluted, and I couldn't help but put my legs together and stand at attention.
This action brought a smile to Gawain's eyes.
"Mark, we just met yesterday, didn't we? I won't eat anyone, seriously, I swear."
A little joke makes the atmosphere light.
Then Sinner came to his senses, clenched his fists and raised them high, then jumped up, and cheers and shouts almost came out of his mouth, but then he realized that he should not lose his composure, so he quickly closed his mouth and controlled the urge to scream, but a smile still broke out.
"Congratulations, Gao Wen." Sinner gasped for breath, and thousands of words finally turned into this short sentence.
Seeing Sinner's sincere face and shining eyes, even happier than him, the person involved, made Gao Wen's chest full, "Thank you for coming to watch my game."
Sincerely.
This is not because of Nike's jersey campaign.
In fact, the jersey event has ended and the program crew has retreated. They did not come to the Suzanne Lenglen Stadium. All the subsequent things were done by Gawain who asked Tobias to do them, just to say what he just said to Sinner: Thank you.
