Chapter 1580 Potential Opponents
"Obviously, this is my first time at Wimbledon, and I don't know how it was in previous years. So, for me, there is no comparison and no need to adjust, because everything is new. I have no way of knowing whether Wimbledon will offer special treatment to new recruits this year."
"Sorry, I don't like to think that the entire universe revolves around me."
This casual joke was an invisible response to the previous attacks. There is no need to think that the whole world wants to hurt me.
In an instant, the sound of trivial laughter surged in the air.
However, Gao Wen seemed to be completely unaware and continued to speak calmly, so that the reporter who was attacked by the complaints could not interrupt rashly.
Otherwise, wouldn't that just be a trap for you? Are you complaining that you don't have enough scenes?
So, even if he was angry or aggrieved, what could he do? He could only glare at Gawain and attack him with his eyes.
"So, whether it's hot or cold, I need to adapt from scratch. The temperature is not a problem, at least I hope it is not a problem."
"At the beginning of the year in Melbourne Park, the heat there was well known, and all I can hope for now is that Wimbledon won't be so terrible."
Haha, that teasing tone successfully caused low laughter to surge in the scene again, and no one paid attention to the victimized reporter at this time.
"Of course, Melbourne Park is slightly different to Wimbledon."
"It's hard to score easily by serving at Melbourne Park. It often takes a baseline swing to decide the winner. There are more long rallies, and the pressure of the high temperature is more obvious. But at Wimbledon, every point is faster and shorter, and the temperature plays a smaller role."
"At least, that's what I expect."
Gawain raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender and made a face. His sarcasm was obvious and he successfully won a burst of laughter.
“As for the next round, I am looking forward to it and remain looking forward to it.”
According to the division, Gao Wen's second round opponent will be between Serbian player Krajinovic and French veteran Mahut.
This is a very, very interesting counterpoint.
Krajinovic, needless to say, this young player born in 1992, after returning from injury, is still struggling and is still looking for his touch. In Doha at the beginning of the year, Krajinovic and Gao Wen also had an intersection because of Djokovic, but it was not a good memory.
Mahut, born in 1982, won the Wimbledon junior singles championship in 2000, but has performed mediocrely since turning professional. His best result in a Grand Slam so far is only the third round, and he has never made it to the second week, including Wimbledon.
In fact, since turning professional in 2000, Mahut has only won five games at Wimbledon in the past fourteen years. His best result was the third round in 2006, which was also the only time he made it to the third round. Most of the time, he couldn't even get past the first round.
However, Mahut is still an interesting existence, and he has left his mark in the history of Wimbledon.
In the first round of Wimbledon in 2010, John Isner and Nicolas Mahut played the longest match in tennis history.
This first round of the match lasted for three full days, a total of eleven hours and five minutes, and a total of 183 rounds.
In the end, Isner defeated Mahut in a long set with scores of "6:4", "3:6", "6:7 (7)", "7:6 (3)" and "70:68".
After the game, Isner and Mahut did not leave the court immediately. The All England Club held a small special memorial ceremony for them on the spot.
Throughout the game, both players played to their full potential, breaking many tennis historical records including the longest match time, the most total number of games, the most aces in a single game, the most winning points in a single game, etc. The winner, Isner, served 112 aces and 246 winning points.
Go down in history!
Just looking at Mahut's career record, he was eliminated in the first round of Wimbledon for three consecutive years in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and the same happened last year; but among them, the first round elimination in 2010 was epic, and after the long-set decider system was abolished, it was destined that no one would be able to surpass it.
In fact, Mahut's characteristics can be seen from this game. He is good at serving and going to the net, and is indeed a player suitable for playing on grass. But unfortunately, his forehand and backhand lack characteristics, and his offensive tactics are not rich enough, making it difficult for him to break through in the increasingly comprehensive and fierce singles arena.
Later, as he grew older, Mahut realized that it was difficult for him to make a breakthrough in the singles arena. In order to continue his professional career, he slowly switched to the doubles arena, where his strengths were brought into play and his shortcomings were overcome. Gradually, he began to shine. He reached the finals in all four Grand Slam doubles events, and won the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open titles, becoming the world's number one and opening up a whole new world.
It can be seen that Mahut is also a wonderful person. He may not be a strong player, but he is also very powerful in singles competitions, especially in Wimbledon.
Be it Krajinovic or Mahut, judging from their current form, it should be difficult for them to stop Gavin's progress, at least that's what people generally thought after the draw came out; but after the first round, Gavin had to fight Istomin for five sets, so the situation was a bit delicate.

Looking back at Krajinovic and Mahut at this time, for Gawain, who has only played three grass court tournaments in his career, they are both very dangerous time bombs, and an upset is not impossible. Therefore, at the post-match press conference, the focus immediately became heated.
However, the match between Krajinovic and Mahut has not started yet and no winner has been decided, so Gao Wen's next opponent remains undecided.
As far as the media is concerned, no matter who the opponent is, the topic will be full; but obviously, Krajinovic, who is also a new generation, is more worth looking forward to:
From his birth age of 1992 to his Serbian nationality, he is obviously a treasure at first glance. If you dig a little deeper, you can create a hot spot.
"For me, I haven't met Philippe, I haven't met Nicolas, and the rest are encounters, but this encounter happens at Wimbledon, which makes it particularly dangerous."
"On grass, their serve is a weapon. You may not have time to react before the ball whizzes past you. As you can imagine, it's not good news for me."
"I also hope that my serve can whiz by like a bomber and score points cleanly, but obviously, I can't, so I need to be prepared, otherwise, no matter where the next game is arranged, the court may be bombed to pieces, and we don't want to see such a scene, right?"
The images are vivid and lively, and the metaphors that come to mind directly bring up a picture in the mind. When you imagine the bumpy grass at Wimbledon, you can't help but smile. The whole press conference was full of joy, which was slightly different from the picture people expected.
