Dizzy, restless, noisy——
This has almost become the key label of Gao Wen's press conferences. Time and time again, reporters have fought and failed, and then fought again and again.
This time is no exception.
But fortunately, the reporters still have enough time.
This year's US Open hasn't ended yet. If not today, there's still tomorrow, and then, the day after tomorrow.
Even if it is just to seduce Gao Wen, reporters are expecting Gao Wen to continue to advance to deeper rounds, and then the breaking point will be guaranteed.
After many twists and turns, the focus of the post-match press conference finally returned to the game itself. Unlike Gawain's complaints, this game was not unexciting or without focus. In fact, the reporters had so many questions about the match between Gawain and Agut that they could hardly fill them all.
Good news for Gao Wen's fans, the US Open organizing committee, and the media reporters who are eager to see the world in chaos:
Gao Wen's ankle injury is not serious.
After the tough match with Agut, Gawain's press conference was held 30 minutes later than expected because he needed to undergo a series of examinations and rehabilitation treatments, and only came to attend the press conference after confirming that there was no special reaction at the location of his sprained ankle.
Of course, after this, recovery training and physical therapy will be needed, and he still cannot let his guard down, but Gao Wen is ready for the next game.
"certainly."
"Before the competition, I didn't set any goals for this year's event. I just wanted to play one round at a time and try my best."
"Despite the unexpected and the challenges, I am now in the quarterfinals and I am looking forward to the subsequent matches. Richard is an excellent player who has already proven himself. He also advanced to the semifinals at Wimbledon this year. He is in hot form right now. For me, there is no doubt that this will be a tough challenge."
"But I'm ready for it."
When the reporter asked Gao Wen to look forward to the next game, Gao Wen frankly expressed his confidence.
At the press conference before the US Open, one could feel Gao Wen's gradually increasing confidence, and his whole attitude was different.
Be it an accident or a setback; be it pressure or a difficulty... the towering mountains and dense thorns before him not only failed to defeat Gao Wen, but instead helped him to hone his beliefs bit by bit in adversity, firmly grasp the opportunities, and turn these hardships into steps for his transformation.
The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the sharpness of a sword comes from sharpening.
Gao Wen is still making progress, still challenging himself, and still making breakthroughs.
Although he is humble and low-key, don't forget that the player in front of you is the defending champion and no one should exclude him from the ranks of those competing for the championship.
The social network is bustling with activity, but the parties involved are becoming more and more focused and determined, and their high morale is still rising.
Indeed, when a Grand Slam tournament enters its second week, the entire structure and situation will undergo tremendous changes, and the state of the top players will naturally be different.
The next morning, Gao Wen still did not change his daily schedule. After completing a set of regular warm-up training, he arrived at the training ground before ten o'clock.
He stopped walking forward when he saw an unexpected figure out of the corner of his eye. He took two steps back and looked carefully, then he realized that he was not seeing things.
I looked around at the fans coming and going. There were indeed quite a few people on the road to the training ground, but no one noticed the figure in the corner.
After thinking for a while, Gawain said hello to Pelt, opened the wire door of the training ground, walked in, and walked towards the figure sitting in the shadow.
"Hey, good morning. I just glanced over and I thought I was seeing things. Where's Gregor? Is he still warming up in the gym?"
The icy figure in front of me wearing sunglasses and giving off a keep-away expression is none other than Sharapova.
Although she withdrew from this year's US Open due to injury, Sharapova is still a favorite of sponsors, and her every move is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.
Last week, Nadal lost unexpectedly in the third round. US Open officials lamented that Nadal's magical record of winning the Grand Slam for ten consecutive years has officially come to an end. Media big and small are lamenting that Nadal's era is over.
Sharapova spoke up for Nadal, saying that the media did not give Nadal enough respect, as if a defeat would be the end of the world.
As we all know, Sharapova is a very strong and competitive player. She never believes that opponents who compete to the death on the court can become friends outside the court. At the same time, she rarely reveals her sensitive and fragile side.
But there is no doubt that Sharapova has always had respect and reverence for the achievements of the Big Four, and it is not surprising that she launched a counterattack against the media's behavior of taking advantage of the situation.
Sharapova's response instantly changed the direction of public opinion. Many netizens expressed their support for her, and other media also reprinted and quoted Sharapova's words. The topic trend on social networks also quietly changed.
Even without coming to Flushing, Sharapova's influence remains strong.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, her appearance at Dimitrov's training ground today was definitely unexpected.
This was the first time Sharapova had come to watch Dimitrov practice, at least as far as Kirk could remember; and considering the torment and disappointment Sharapova suffered from her injury and missed competition, it was even more rare that she was willing to step into the court in Flushing Meadows.
Although Sharapova is like an iceberg and her chilling aura can be felt even across half the court, Gao Wen believes that this is just a disguise.
Obviously, Sharapova is also aware of the dilemma Dimitrov is facing.
In the previous life, after Dimitrov broke up with Sharapova and parted ways with Rashid, he came to New York, but was eliminated in the second round. In addition, Sharapova withdrew due to injury before the game. The former golden boy and girl really lost their luster, and this indeed became a turning point in which their topic outside the tennis court decreased.
Now, the butterfly effect is taking effect and the trajectory of history is changing.
Dimitrov has also reached the quarterfinals and has found his pace again in the trough. His speed is not fast but solid and steady. He is growing. After experiencing the ups and downs on and off the court in the past six months, the pure romantic temperament of Dimitrov is also slowly changing.
Sharapova was deeply aware that this was an important turning point in Dimitrov's career breakthrough. Coincidentally, she missed this year's event and had enough time to watch the game.
After careful consideration, Sharapova overcame her pride and set foot in Flushing again.
Even just one appearance is crucial for Dimitrov; similarly, it is equally important for Sharapova.
In this relationship, both she and he took another step towards each other.
So, Gao Wen came over to say hello, he knew Sharapova also needed some encouragement and affirmation.
