Even after the cheers died down, one could still feel the restlessness in the air of the O2 Arena. The heartbeat seemed to continuously hit the eardrums, and the crazy and hot energy penetrated into the body through the pores. Even without making any sound, one could not control the burning of adrenaline.
At this moment, Gao Wencai carefully looked at the custom-made cake in front of him——
In the tour, events often hold special celebrations for players, ranging from birthday parties to career milestones, but these events are organized by the event organizing committee and have nothing to do with the ATP or WTA, so the sincerity depends entirely on the organizers of the event.
If the battle is fought on home soil, the treatment by the host country will naturally be different.
On the other hand, there are no official regulations for these special events, and the tournament organizing committee cannot be blamed for dereliction of duty if they do not grant permission to hold them.
Ultimately, it’s a token of thoughtfulness and it also highlights how special the players are.
But this is London, and it is also the year-end finals, but the organizing committee of the event specially prepared a birthday party for Gao Wen, which is an extraordinary treatment.
It can also be seen from cake customization:
A wolf's head.
This is also the exclusive logo designed by Nike for Gao Wen. It has long been registered as a trademark and has become a part of Gao Wen’s personal image and brand.
The O2 Stadium chose this logo, which is not only special but also beautiful, and the whole taste and grade are immediately revealed, highlighting the unique treatment of Gao Wen.
Not only in Asia, Gao Wen has won love all over the world.
“Make a wish!”
“Make a wish!”
Standing in front of the cake, Gawain made a wish without any hesitation. He opened his eyes and saw the caddies' faces filled with joy and expectation. When they looked at Gawain, they saw his dream, hope and future; and when Gawain looked at them, he saw his former self.
Once upon a time, Gao Wen looked up to those legends, from Sampras to Agassi to Federer and Nadal and so on, following in their footsteps to pursue his dreams; and now, he will also become the hope that guides them.
Gao Wen smiled and looked at everyone.
"Come on, let's count to three."
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
call.
The caddies joined Gawain and blew out the candles together, as if they were making a wish together and planting a seed of hope in the soil of youth.
Standing up again, Gawain could see Buck, who was ready.
Buck looked at Gawain with a smile, "Can I ask you about your wish just now?"
Before Gawain could even open his mouth, Buck asked, "Let me guess, is it related to tomorrow's final?"
Roar, roar, roar! The O2 Stadium is a powder keg that can ignite with just a little spark.
Gao Wen smiled and said, "No, my wish is that I can celebrate my birthday with the fans at the O2 Stadium every year for the next ten years."
Does this mean that Gao Wen can make it to the year-end finals for ten consecutive years?
Buck raised his chin slightly and said meaningfully, "You should know that the contract for the ATP Finals and the O2 Stadium is only signed until today, right?"
Gawain, "Uh, is it too late for me to change my wish now?"
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Then Gao Wen deliberately lowered his voice and whispered to the microphone, "Renew the contract."
At the same time, they began to use their hands to incite the audience, and the calls gradually gathered -
Renew! Renew! Renew!
This is an unexpected surprise.
Even Buck didn't expect it.
Of course, both the O2 Arena and London want to keep the year-end finals, but obviously, the ATP hopes that the year-end finals can go to different cities to open up the market. Their strategy is to cultivate the global market.
Unexpectedly, Gao Wen accidentally created momentum for the O2 Arena.
Buck couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: Buck likes Federer, and the audience who are familiar with her know this. It is not so much because of the number of championships Federer has won, but because of Federer's personal charm. As a tennis spokesperson, he has successfully raised the promotion of tennis to two levels. Of course, Nadal also contributed to this.
From now on, she began to admire Gao Wen again. She believed that the burden of tennis in the next decade might be borne on the shoulders of this young man.
"Gawain, you had an incredible tournament in London this summer, probably one of the most important tournaments of the past decade, and now back in London, what are your expectations for the upcoming final?"
“No regrets.”
Back and forth.
Gawain's answer was very concise, but the applause from the audience encouraged him to say more. This young man, who had just turned 20, had become the new favorite of the London audience, just like the New York audience.
"Whether it's Roger or Rafa, they are both unparalleled opponents. I look forward to having a high-quality match with them, that's all. As for the result, let's leave it to the two opponents to decide."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Boom! The whole place was in an uproar, and the mighty heat wave almost blew the roof off.
The first men's singles semi-final finally ended in a wave of heat. The O2 Stadium sent Gao Wen off with thunderous applause. As soon as the game was over, they were already looking forward to Gao Wen's next appearance.
When we returned to the players' lounge, we saw the Bryan brothers clapping and whistling. Not to mention Bob, even Mike joined in the fun, and the two of them took the lead in starting a bustling party.
Gawain held the right hands of the two brothers and greeted them by bumping shoulders. But before Bob was about to leave, he patted Bob on the back.
come on!
Everything is implied.
Gawain's battle has come to a temporary end, and now it is the time for the Bryan brothers, who will also fight to defend their world No. 1 title.
Bob understands. He understands it all.
In an instant, Haoqi Yuntiandi patted Gawain on the back. The exaggerated action made Gawain's back bang loudly, and he almost vomited blood.
Then, Gao Wen bared his teeth and said, "Bob, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Bob spread his hands out with an innocent look on his face.
Mike, who was standing nearby, was speechless, "Bob, how old are you?"
Bob actually looked at Mike seriously, "I am the same age as you are. Why, you don't remember how old you are?"
Ha! There was laughter all around.
Bob seemed to be aware of Gawain's gaze. He didn't say much, but raised his chin confidently, showing his high morale.
No matter what the outcome, he will fight to the end.
It's just that simple.
Gawain stepped forward, clamped Bob's neck with his elbow, and "beat" Bob like Popeye, then punched Bob twice.
“Never let a win or loss define you.”
Both he and they have more careers than just that.
In fact, just now on the court, Gao Wen’s birthday wish was this: Don’t let a victory or a championship define yourself, don’t forget the happiness and joy of regaining a second life moment two years ago, and don’t forget the innocent heart that continues to challenge yourself and challenge your limits.
Then, the Gawain and Bryan brothers staggered past each other, one heading to the locker room while the other pair prepared to step onto the field to complete a relay race.
The battle continues.
