Chapter 213: A New Look Is
the U.S. singles champion equal to the top of the world?
This is of course impossible, it is just an illusion. Every time a victory or a championship is won, players are always prone to such an illusion, but it is precisely this illusion that drives them to constantly surpass themselves, challenge their limits, and truly reach the top of the world.
But no one can deny that Gawain won the double title in Athens by winning 24 consecutive games, which was indeed a moment of witnessing the birth of a miracle.
Eric Robinson admires Gao Wen very much.
From a technical perspective, Gao Wen has both advantages and disadvantages. It is far from mature and there is no need to analyze it. There is still room for growth in the future.
What Robinson really likes is Gawain’s playing style.
The ever-changing tactical combinations, the unyielding extreme defense, the smooth offensive connection, the improved state at the critical moment, and the super strong heart at the critical moment, especially in the last two games of the game, when Gao Wen's performance was truly eye-catching despite being physically overdrawn.
In fact, in terms of technology, the new generation has very good hitting ability. The emerging group of players in their early twenties have strength, speed and talent, but why have they never been able to break through the joint blockade of the "Big Four"? Are the Big Four really invincible? Obviously not. The Big Four are also human. As long as they are human, they will make mistakes and can be defeated. The reason why no one can do this is the temperament of the game. They often lose their hands at critical moments and often go off the track at the last moment.
In normal practice matches, these new generation players' hitting ability has surpassed the Big Four.
Don't forget that as time goes by, the Big Four are already approaching their thirties, and injuries are always a part that cannot be ignored.
But in actual competitions, he was unable to display his abilities 100%.
That's the problem.
Now in Gao Wen, Robinson saw the game temperament of a superstar.
It doesn't mean that Gawain can defeat the Big Four, but Robinson believes that Gawain will not be afraid even with his current strength and condition if he stands in front of the Big Four.
This is very, very important.
The first time, it was a surprise.
The second time, it was amazing.
The third time, it was a shock.
Robinson sincerely believes that Gao Wen has more potential, and he firmly believes that Nike should seize this opportunity of Gao Wen.
Another opportunity to open up the Chinese market.
Moreover, this opportunity must not be snatched away by Adidas.
“…I’m serious.”
As soon as the game ended, Robinson called his boss anxiously, only to find that the other party was not in a hurry at all. This made Robinson, who was worried that Adidas would intercept him, almost fainted.
Reese-Bennet could sense Robinson's anxiety, but he was not nervous. Instead, he just laughed, as if he found Robinson funny.
"Eric, we have already opened up the Chinese market. Have you forgotten? Li is our player."
Bennett is naturally referring to Li Na, the top player who just won the Australian Open at the beginning of the year and is currently ranked second in the world.
Robinson was very depressed. "I know, of course I know, but what I mean is that this may be the golden key to open the men's player market."
"Take your time. It's just a U.S. singles championship. There's really no need to be so anxious. You should know the value of the NCAA better than I do. It's not like you to make such a fuss." Bennett was still leisurely.
Robinson was a little crazy. What he wanted to say was that anyone who had watched Gawain's game live would know that this young man was definitely not that simple. But the problem was that Bennett had never watched the game live, and there were so many players that Nike needed to observe, and they really didn't lack a "Chinese men's tennis player."
At this time, Robinson had completely forgotten his past self. When he saw Gawain for the first time, he nodded calmly, indicating that he could observe.
"Reese, you're going to regret this." Robinson said sullenly.
Bennett laughed happily. "Eric, we will read the information you submitted, and then I will pass it to the New Generation Player Agency. Don't worry, we will not do nothing. We don't want to miss out on Raonic again."
"So we signed Kyrgios?" Robinson rolled his eyes.
Because he knew that Bennett's so-called submission of information was actually just an official procedure. There were at least eight hundred pieces of information piled up in the new generation player agency, and the thick dust could kill allergy patients on the spot.
But Robinson has done his best. The only thing he can do is to convey his opinions. As for how Nike decides, it is not his business to interfere.
However, before hanging up the phone, Robinson couldn't help but say it again, "Reese, believe me, I'm serious." He conveyed his belief unwaveringly.
Robinson was looking forward to Nike taking action sooner rather than later, but the double title of the U.S. Championships was clearly not enough, and he needed to see how the process went.

On this side, Tobias couldn't wait and came directly to the door.
Sampras looked at his friend, whose expression was slightly anxious, and gloated.
"Peter, why don't you leave first?" Tobias wanted to swear.
Sampras blinked his eyes and said, "I'm fine today. Don't worry, I will be here with you." How could he miss such a good show?
Tobias: ...
Tobias had to admit that he had misjudged Gawain last time. He saw that Gawain's conversation and manners had a certain charm, but he was not impressed by his performance on the field, so he only made a half-joking joke. However, in today's final, Gawain's performance was... impressive.
From the slow start in the first set, to calmly handling the crisis, to keenly seizing the opportunities in the game, to the overall layout in the second set, and finally to the all-out effort in the final stage.
Throughout the entire game, Gawain's ability, aura, wisdom and mentality brought great surprises in all aspects. Most importantly, his passionate and heroic playing style was so exciting that even a veteran like Tobias couldn't help but get excited.
Tobias couldn't remember the last time he was so deeply involved in a game, could truly feel the tension and excitement of the game, went crazy and released along with the ups and downs of the game, and rediscovered the joy of competitive sports, that kind of pure love.
Tobias immediately realized that he should take action. If he missed such a player with championship qualities, he might have to quit the agent industry.
As for face... what is that? Can it be eaten?
