Some people ask, why is it Gao Wen again?
There are so many stars in the ATP world, and there are so many people who deserve attention, attention, and discussion that you can't count them with both hands. Why can't we take our eyes off Gao Wen? After all the twists and turns, the topic is back to Gao Wen again?
Because Gao Wen is the defending champion of the US Open.
Because Gao Wen was the world's second and once had the hope of becoming the world's first.
Because Gao Wen is the youngest player in the top 20 in the world, and the only player born after 1995, and the only player in the top ten in the world born after 1990.
The reason is so simple.
From the clay court season to the grass court season, the battle between Gao Wen and Djokovic for the world's No. 1 spot has always been the main theme. No one wants to miss it. After making it all the way to the North American summer hard court season, an unexpected injury interrupted the trend, but those curiosity and expectations will not disappear easily.
There is no doubt that Gao Wen is still a topic that cannot be missed in the hustle and bustle of this year's US Open.
Unless the defending champion announces that he will miss this year's competition due to injury.
No one wants to see this scene.
Earlier in Toronto, after careful testing, Gao Wen was found to have strained his abdominal muscles and would need to rest for two to four weeks.
Strictly speaking, when the Cincinnati tournament came to an end and the Winston-Salem tournament and the US Open qualifiers kicked off, it had only been nine days since Gawain withdrew from the Rogers Cup semi-finals due to injury. In other words, Gawain was still in the process of recuperation.
Patience, fans and the media need to be patient and not rush things.
but!
Watching the top players arriving in New York one after another, adapting to the venue and the climate, and making final preparations and the final sprint for the US Open, Gao Wen's figure has not appeared yet. Suspicions, worries, and curiosity are flying around uncontrollably.
After leaving Toronto, Gao Wen did not go far, but returned to Los Angeles for conservative treatment and basic training.
Normally, Gowen should have gone to New York now to recover, adapt, adjust and prepare, because it would not be surprising to miss the game in Cincinnati or even arrive in New York earlier than other players; however, Gowen did not do so and continued to stay in Los Angeles.
Could it be that... Gao Wen's recovery from injury is not as good as expected and he may really miss the US Open?
All kinds of speculations surged uncontrollably.
On social networks, many fans expressed their concerns, and when they recalled the comments of those haters again, they still couldn't suppress their anger.
Those voices slandered and spread rumors of "faking injury" casually, but now Gao Wen has not recovered yet and may even miss the US Open. All aspects have proved that the injury situation is beyond expectations. However, those haters do not need to apologize, let alone be punished, and there is no need to pay any price.
What's the point? And the haters are still partying, not only gloating, but also maliciously hoping that Gawain's career will end here.
They don't even have the most basic humanity.
Then, the paparazzi came on the scene.
Wherever there is a hot topic, there are paparazzi; wherever there is a gimmick, a topic, or an exclusive, there are paparazzi.
What's more, Los Angeles is the city with the largest number of paparazzi in North America. Their focus is not just on Hollywood stars. As long as they are public figures or hot topics, even ordinary citizens cannot escape the tracking and disturbance of paparazzi.
Gao Wen is no exception.
Unfortunately, the paparazzi will be disappointed.
Hospital. School. Apartment. Hospital. School. Apartment.
The daily life of going to and from work is not only dull but also boring, with nothing new in it.
What’s even more depressing is that Gao Wen doesn’t care about the paparazzi’s tracking and harassment at all. Every time he sees a paparazzi, he even takes the initiative to wave and greet them.
Here, an interesting thing happened.
One day, Gao Wen got up in the morning and jogged to warm up. After greeting the paparazzi in a friendly manner, he began to jog.
Several paparazzi followed him. They were also veterans who had been following Hollywood stars closely for many years. Their physical fitness and experience were definitely not inferior to professional athletes. They also tried to capture the secrets of Gawain's morning run to see if Gawain would get rid of them and carry out some secret actions alone.
Run, run all the way, not just pure running, combine it with variable speed running, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, a full hour of morning jogging warm-up.
When Gao Wen finally returned to the apartment, there was no one behind him, and the paparazzi who followed him were all wiped out.
Later, rumors among fellow paparazzi revealed the truth.
Among the five people traveling with us, one fainted due to lack of water, one foamed at the mouth, one had a thigh cramp, one gave up halfway and took a taxi home, and another rolled into a ditch. It was ultimately Gao Wen who called 911 for an ambulance to come to help. It was definitely a morning of ups and downs.
Of course, there is always a mountain higher than the one you climb.
The two paparazzi were very smart. They chose light bicycles and followed all the way. Although they were seriously exhausted, they were not thrown away in the end.
They also had an unexpected bonus. After finishing their morning run, Gao Wen went to a brunch cafe to enjoy breakfast and meet up with friends.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A female friend.
The two paparazzi didn't care about their sweat, blushing and pounding hearts, they both became excited. Could this be Gao Wen's rumored girlfriend?
However, after a while of operations, they checked their finished products and found a problem -
Who is this?
A strange face, absolutely no impression of him at all, not an actor, not a singer, not another athlete, not even a public figure.
For a while, they did not obtain any information. Although it was regrettable, the only conclusion they could draw was that the woman in front of them was just an ordinary person. The paparazzi's interest suddenly decreased. Even if this woman was Gawain's date, she had no news value to the paparazzi.
They could not hide their disappointment. After all the hard work and effort, they still failed to find the hot spot.
No wonder Gao Wen and his friends did not panic when facing the paparazzi's secret photos, and they were even talking and laughing. The delicious breakfast made the hungry paparazzi swallow their saliva continuously, but they did not dare to leave easily, because they did not know when Gao Wen would leave and what he would do next.
Fortunately, Gawain didn't delay too long and finished breakfast in just half an hour.
Click! Click, click, click! When Gao Wen and his friend left the cafe, the two paparazzi subconsciously pressed the shutter button, no matter what the situation, just record it first.
Gao Wen and his female friend seemed to have anticipated this and were not panicked at all. They each took out a piece of brown cardboard from their pockets and used it to cover their faces.
The paparazzi suddenly became excited. The more the subjects tried to dodge, the more excited they became. They kept clicking the shutter buttons, recording the entire process from different angles, positions and moments.
But as I kept taking pictures, I slowly realized that something was wrong.
Wait, there are actually words on the brown cardboard, in densely packed fonts.
So, what does it say?
