Although the final of Wimbledon 2015 has not yet begun, the focus of the topic that has been widely discussed before the game has already been answered:
The Big Four are still the Big Four.
In the back garden of Wimbledon, Djokovic and Federer still teamed up to defend their last stronghold, resisting the joint attack from the Challenger Alliance and the Youth Storm, and met in the final again and again - this is also the second consecutive year that the top two seeds have fought on the top of the Forbidden City.
Indeed, over the past year, the dominance of the Big Four has suffered an unprecedented impact.
Among them, Nadal and Murray both suffered from serious injuries and fell into a trough, while Federer was experiencing the short-term shock and pain brought by age. All the burdens and pressures fell on the shoulders of Djokovic, who was in the overall rising period of his career.
then--
With the shocking upset of two giants in Flushing Meath both being eliminated in the semifinals, the legendary battle in Melbourne Park that overturned the king in five sets, and the incredible performance in Roland Garros, the men's tennis world is full of prosperity and countless possibilities.
However, when they came to Wimbledon again, the back garden is still the back garden, and Djokovic and Federer still stood firm.
It all started in Flushing Meadows, where both Djokovic and Federer were unexpectedly eliminated in the semifinals; now, it ends in Wimbledon, where again, both Djokovic and Federer withstood the unprecedented impact of their challengers and advanced to the final together, and a year of chaos has returned to normal.
Wow! The crowd was in an uproar.
Of course, this doesn’t mean “full stop”.
On the contrary, this means that the exciting battle of "Big Four vs. Challengers" has ended the first stage and is about to enter the second stage: a head-on confrontation.
Before this, for a full ten years, although the Big Four encountered many confrontations and shocks, when the competition entered the championship stage, their real opponents were still these four familiar faces, and these figures were repeated over and over again; but now the main theme has changed, and more and more faces are beginning to emerge.
The four giants are still giants, but their attention needs to be slightly diverted from each other. Players across the ATP are rising in all aspects.
The second half of the year will be even more exciting——
Perhaps the biggest suspense of the men's singles before Wimbledon opens has been revealed, but this does not mean that the media's enthusiasm has diminished.
In fact, the media was even more excited and excited. It could be seen from Gao Wen's post-match press conference that the press conference was packed with people.
"Gao Wen, first of all, this was a very, very exciting game. Although it's a bit regrettable that the result did not favor you, you still completed an unparalleled journey."
"With all your matches at Wimbledon completed, it means that you have completed all your debuts in the four Grand Slams, and you have created a benchmark that is difficult to surpass."
"U.S. Open champion, Australian Open champion, French Open semi-finals, Wimbledon semi-finals..."
As the reporter spoke, whistles and applause rang out in the press conference room one after another, and finally turned into a storm that lingered for a long time.
Roar, roar, roar! Clap, clap, clap! Perhaps, there are still people who don't like Gawain; perhaps, there are still people who doubt Gawain... Those narrow-minded voices of jealousy, hatred, and fear will not disappear.
But the reality is that Gao Wen delivered a perfect answer with his performance. Even picky reporters had to be impressed and applaud him.
"Obviously..."
The applause continues.
"Obviously! This is an incredible journey, unprecedented and hard to imagine for us to follow. What do you think about this?"
Although this is a standard question, with no surprises or surprises, we have to admit that all the reporters and even countless fans were listening -
Waiting for an answer.
They have truly witnessed history.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of shutter clicks filled the entire audience, eager to record Gao Wen's expression at the moment.
In fact, Gao Wen looked a little tired, but considering that he had just experienced a thrilling game, it was all understandable.
The corners of Gao Wen's mouth rose slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Oh, no."
He shook his head repeatedly and wailed.
"I have only been in professional tennis for a year. Am I already impatient to start summing up? No, no, no, I am not ready to retire yet."
--Hahaha!
The whole audience burst into laughter, and after a brief pause of half a second, the laughter became even louder.
Gawain himself started laughing as well.
"I know this is an unparalleled year. In fact, I am somewhat fortunate that I did not win Roland Garros and Wimbledon consecutively. Otherwise, my career has just begun and I have reached the peak. I will never be able to surpass it in the future. Does this mean that it will be a downhill road from now on?"
Self-deprecation, obviously.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Light teasing and joking cleverly resolved the sharpness of the problem, and then returned to the track under Gawain's own control.
“Honestly, I don’t want to look back at the past year, because I hope this is just the beginning and there are more peaks and challenges waiting for me ahead.”
"But at the same time, you're right, it's been a very, very crazy year, and even now, it's still very emotional to think about it, but I don't agree with you on that."
"Before the invention of airplanes, flying was an impossible dream; before landing on the moon, exploring the universe was an impossible task. What I mean is that we always use those fixed cognitions to restrict our imagination. Dare to dream, dare to challenge, and dare to explore. This is the greatest quality of human beings."
"Yes, I have an unparalleled start, but I don't think that no one will be able to copy or even surpass it in the future. Because it's not perfect."
"Don't forget, I lost a game today, a game that was painful and bitter, but I had to applaud my opponent 100%."
"So, let's not limit our imaginations, I sincerely hope that this is not the high point of my career."
After saying this, Gao Wen folded his index and middle fingers together, making a gesture of silent expectation.
Laughter, applause, whistles, all intertwined and collided——
Because Gawain wrote history, because Gawain faced history calmly, and because of the demeanor he displayed at historical moments.
Gao Wen, deserves applause.
He paused as the next reporter stood up. "So, about this game..."
The next question was left blank. Even though the next words had not been said yet, colleagues at the scene started to make a noise. Everyone knew the next question.
Gao Wen also cooperated very well. He motioned the reporter to wait for a moment, drank a sip of water, and then exhaled a long breath, silently looked up at the sky, and then nodded gently to indicate that he was ready.
There was laughter.
The corners of the reporter's mouth also rose. "Regarding this game, unfortunately, you lost the game and failed to complete the ultimate challenge. I would like to ask, did you think about this before the game? Did such a heavy burden play a role in breaking your psychological balance in the game?"
It’s here. What is supposed to come has finally come.
