Chapter 335 Take Your Time

"Huh... When you are in the game, believe me, you don't have that much time and space to think about these things. The game is really too tense and too anxious. I need to concentrate all my attention to find a way to open the game, and John didn't give me much breathing space."

The reporters at the scene laughed good-naturedly, because Gawain's words were equivalent to secretly praising Isner, which was a respect for the opponent.

"Of course, after the game, I was very happy and blessed. I will not deny that victory always brings joy, especially the victory of a Grand Slam. The feeling of the first time is indeed unforgettable."

"But if there's anything special, I'm afraid there isn't any."

Hmm? Yu Jia was a little surprised. He didn't expect Gao Wen to not make an impassioned speech. But then Gao Wen said it lightly.

"I think I just proved one thing, that we can do it. After the first time, there will soon be a second and a third time, and then we will get used to it and look forward to creating more memorable moments in the future."

A victory? It's not worth celebrating, there's no need to make a fuss, after all, it's not a Grand Slam victory. They should adjust their mentality, because this will be the norm, just like the female players have formed a group advantage, Chinese male tennis players will also emerge like mushrooms after rain.

This is an expectation, a wish, and a dream, but Gawain said it so calmly and so naturally, and the grand blueprint was laid out before his eyes, which was far more moving and passionate than a few slogans.

Yu Jia couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He didn't expect that their vision was still too narrow. Gao Wen's words raised the whole vision to a higher level.

Looking at the smile on Gao Wen's lips, Yu Jia nodded in confusion. It was not until he sat down that he slowly came back to his senses. The next second, a smile crept up to the corners of his mouth, his heart was surging, and there was an incredible happiness filling his whole chest.

And the next question has already continued.

"...From your answer just now, it seems that you are also looking forward to the next game?"

The reporter immediately grasped the deep meaning in Gao Wen's words, and then focused on Gao Wen himself, and his eyes immediately turned to the next game.

So, how did Gawain respond?

"Wow, is this speed exceeding the limit? Can't you give me a little more time to enjoy the sweetness of this victory?"

Boom! All the reporters burst into laughter. Gao Wen's light-hearted and joking answers were often unconventional, but he always managed to show a sense of humor around the questions. This was a pleasure for both the interviewer and the interviewee.

Then the subject changed back to Gao Wen and he answered the question.

"Of course, the taste of victory is so sweet, I still hope to continue to taste it, so in the next round, I will definitely try my best to win. Believe me, I will work very, very hard."

Hahaha.

The reporters couldn't hold back their laughter any longer as they looked at Gao Wen's expression of making faces and complaining. The entire press conference room was extremely lively.

"... Gao Wen, what do you think was the turning point of today's match? Was the key to your victory the last point in the third set tie-break?"

"I think the key to today's game is to believe in yourself. I didn't doubt myself from beginning to end. My college coach, Mr. Martin, said that if you don't even believe that you can win, then no one in the world can help you."

"...Gao Wen, this is your first Grand Slam and you made it to the second round. Do you think it's amazing?"

"If I remember correctly, John made it to the third round here in his first major, so I guess mine isn't that amazing either."

"...Gao Wen, before the US Open, you only participated in the Challenger Tournament. So what is the difference between the Challenger Tournament and the Grand Slam?"

“The stadium is so big and there are so many people.”

One second, two seconds, and then everyone burst into laughter.

The reporters had a very special feeling. Every aspect showed that it was indeed Gawain's first time on the Grand Slam stage, but the sophistication and wisdom he displayed were not awkward at all. Not only was he not restrained, but his ease also enabled him to control the atmosphere of the entire venue.

Not to mention the inexperienced young players, even the top 20 players in the world may not be able to possess this composure. Only top superstars like the Big Four can display such broad-mindedness and magnanimity.

This... is so fresh!

It was not the first time that ESPN reporter Frank Hancock heard of Gowen's name. Because of their relationship in broadcasting NCAA, he had heard colleagues mention Gowen many times, especially Sampras, who praised Gowen highly. But Hancock did not expect Sampras to appear in Gowen's player box.

He felt that things were not simple.

It was precisely because of this that Hancock asked that question. He did not expect Gawain's flawless answer to confuse him directly.

But Hancock did not give up. He always felt that Gawain had a...superstar aura. Although this idea was really ridiculous, after all, Gawain only won a game unexpectedly, but Hancock really thought so.

Hancock wanted to try again to verify his idea.

After patiently waiting for a long time, and finally waiting for a second chance to ask a question, Hancock stood up again.

"Gao Wen, may I ask what you think of the crowd's interference at the end of the game?"

Hancock did it on purpose, consciously trying to sow discord between Gawain and the audience. Even big names like Federer and Djokovic have had conflicts with the audience many times. Even Nadal, who never loses his temper, complained to the referee because the audience turned on the flash to take pictures and interfered with the game.

In other words, the problem between players and spectators is an objective reality, and Gao Wen has also encountered it. So how will Gao Wen deal with it and face it? This is also a difficult problem that must be faced on the road to becoming a superstar.

Surprisingly, Hancock saw that Gawain's mouth pursed slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed, but the expression in his eyes remained relaxed.

"Thanks?"

Gawain's answer was a question rather than an affirmative one.

"I guess I should thank him for giving me a chance to introduce myself, God, because who else would get to introduce themselves at Arthur Ashe Stadium? I'm not the Beatles playing a concert at this stadium."

A little bit of uncertainty, a little bit of complaints, a little bit of ridicule, because interrupting the game is not advisable. Not only the players and referees don't like it, but the audience doesn't like it either, so it still needs to be banned as much as possible.

But a little bit of humor and a little bit of joking successfully defused the sharp edge, and then the press conference room burst into laughter again.

Hancock knew that his idea was correct.
