Chapter 1766: Doubts
"At present, the specific situation cannot be determined. The only thing that can be confirmed is that there is indeed pain in the abdomen, which makes it impossible to complete the hitting action smoothly. Further examination is needed to confirm it. I hope the situation is not too serious."
"Of course, I considered retiring during the competition, more than once, because I didn't want the injury to get worse, but it's not my style to surrender without trying. I still hope to persevere and give myself a chance."
…
“There’s no doubt that live audiences are a big motivator.”
"Although this was my first time competing in Toronto, they gave me so much applause and cheers that I felt at home. I also hoped to finish the race smoothly. This is a kind of respect for the audience, Joe and myself, so I chose to go back to the court and give it another try."
"I believe that even without the injury, Joe has the ability to beat me. When he plays well, he can beat any player. He has proved this in this tournament last year, but I still hope to complete this match with Joe."
…
"I got back into the game and slowly stayed focused. The pain wasn't that obvious, especially when I was running. I could forget about it for a while, so I kept going and tried to find a way to continue the game and turn the disadvantage around."
"I understand Joe's regret and disappointment. I feel very sorry for him. I also look forward to having another match with him after I recover from my injury and to a fair fight."
"Obviously, this is not the right way to start a game."
…
"Regarding the semi-finals and what will happen after that, I have no way to give an answer."
"No, it is not certain at the moment. We still need to go to the hospital for examination to know the whole situation."
"I am trying to show my best side on the court, not only when I am in good shape, but also when I am not in good shape or even playing with injuries. I can still sweat and fight to the end without reservation."
"Competitive sports is like life. It's not all smooth sailing. Oftentimes, what really defines us is not the glory at the peak, but the struggle at the bottom. I try to show my best, even though it's not easy."
“I am fighting and I will continue to fight.”
…
"There's no doubt about it. If I can, I'll go out there and fight. I haven't made the final in the Rogers Cup yet and I hope I can have that opportunity."
"So now I can only pray that my body can help."
The press conference is over.
The hustle and bustle of issues all revolve around injuries, and no one is an exception.
This was a game full of weirdness and drama, and it ended in an incredible way. The well-informed reporters also showed their enthusiasm and inundated Gao Wen with questions one after another.
Faced with concern, doubts and curiosity, Gao Wen remained patient and positive, and answered all questions as positively as possible.
However, for now, Gao Wen himself is not sure of the specific situation, so the content he can share is very limited and cannot satisfy reporters.
At least, he tried his best. Gawain was still Gawain. He remained unmoved by the reporters' bombardment and kept the situation under control with ease.
In fact, it was the same with Tsonga, a similar situation and a similar situation; and, slightly different from Gawain, the problems here were more acute and more explicit. After all, Tsonga was the loser, and under the influence of anger and disappointment, the reporters expected to dig out more -
There are indeed many people who sow discord and fan the flames.
Tsonga did not evade the question and also gave a positive response.
"I believe in Gawain."
When the reporter asked Tsonga about his opinion on Gawain's "sudden injury but still being able to continue the game and win in the end", although Tsonga could taste the hidden meaning in the reporter's words, he still stood his ground.
"In fact, not only me, but also the referee and the ball boy could see that Kovan could hardly serve, and all his backhand shots were slices, which affected his power, rotation, etc. I don't think this is a performance, and Kovan doesn't need such a performance to prove himself."
"Maybe you don't remember, but I haven't forgotten, two months ago at Roland Garros, Gawain beat me, it was a wonderful match, I suggest you watch the replay."
"In fact, in the first half of the third set, I had opportunities, countless opportunities, and if I had seized any one of them, the game would have been different."
"But I failed to catch the ball because of my own mistakes and the way Gawain handled the ball at the crucial moment."
"I don't think it was a great match, but it was a match worth learning from and studying. It reminded me of my matches with Roger and Rafa."
"They are not perfect, and they have their low moments, but the difference is that even in the low state of adversity, they can still find different ways to continue the game."
"The same is true of Gawain today."
Tsonga speaks plainly, speaks bluntly and expresses his opinions frankly.
And that’s not all.
"I know what you're implying, and I know you're trying to create conflict, but that's not what I had in mind."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I respect and admire Gawain as a player and as a person. You should rewatch the game and then you will realize your mistakes."
"Gawwen is a respectable player who keeps his enthusiasm and passion on the court. He never surrenders easily and fights to the end."
Tsonga's words were neither aggressive nor full of fire. Instead, they were simple and straightforward in expressing his views. But it was precisely this attitude that exposed the true colors of those who were trying to sow discord.
The affirmation and respect from the opponent are enough to make the reporter return empty-handed and shut up.
However.
Despite this, it did not stop the black fans and haters from stirring up trouble. Before the end of the game, this wave had already begun, covering the sky and the earth, blocking out the sun.
"Liar! This is definitely a fake injury. How shameless."
"Oh, so after straining his abdominal muscles, he was still able to play such wonderful tennis. Are you looking down on other players?"
"Only a kind-hearted person like Jo-Wilfried Tsonga would fall for this. It's clearly a scam."
"Don't you realize it now? The most cunning and sinister player in the ATP is Gao Wen."
"It's not the first time. His games are always like this, constantly setting traps and taking advantage of others in an insidious way."
"Tsonga, why are you so honest? You should have read what Zverev, Kyrgios and others said. That's the truth, and you wouldn't have been fooled and lost."
"Haha, what a joke. So it was the injured Tsonga who beat Tsonga? The same Tsonga who beat Djokovic, Murray and Federer here last year?"
"Can any authoritative doctor please come out and analyze why he can maintain such a high level of performance despite having strained abdominal muscles?"
"Lying? Or taking drugs?"
"Et Rogers Cup, urine test, have you done the urine test? This guy is a liar."
