Chapter 512: Global Discussion

"Asian Miracle! Gao Wen proved that anything 'impossible' is 'possible'. At the age of 18, he teamed up with Kei Nishikori to set a new record for the best men's Grand Slam in Asia."

"A historic breakthrough! The young Chinese player unexpectedly won the US Open and wrote a legendary myth! And we are still struggling to find the next Lee Hyung-taek."

"High morale! Never give up! Gao Wen defeated five top 15 seeds along the way and created a miracle of being ranked 193rd in the world!"

"The first title starts with a Grand Slam, and a young talent emerges. Is this the birth of the next legend, or the passing of another shooting star?"

"Dreams never die! Gao Wen's victory declaration ignites Asia's hope: I hope I am just the beginning."

"History! History! And more history! How much history did Gao Wen create by winning the championship?"

"Gao Wen, fill in the first blank of Asian men's tennis. What heights can this young player reach?"

"It only took Gawain two months to go from being an unknown to becoming a Grand Slam champion!"

"There was no Grand Slam champion ranked in the world two months ago. How impressive is Gao Wen's championship trophy?"

"How long will it take for the post-90s generation to take over? No, the post-95s generation has already arrived."

vigorous!

So majestic!

It wasn't just the Chinese media. From east to west, from south to north, even the Australian media came to join in the fun, excitedly reporting on the event at the first opportunity, which was dazzling.

According to incomplete statistics, within six hours, nearly 5,000 reports emerged from more than 800 media outlets across Asia - this only counts professional media and does not include personal media on social networks. This small set of data is enough to deeply feel the vicious frenzy throughout Asia.

As the media said, to be precise, before July, Gao Wen had no world ranking; but two months later, Gao Wen had become the youngest US Open champion in history, and also the third non-Big Four player to win the Grand Slam since the 2004 French Open. The incredible journey is enough to be a topic of discussion for everyone.

Who could miss such a grand event?

At the same time, European and American media are not to be outdone.

"Gawain swept Cilic to become the champion, the dark horse is dark all the way."

"This is a historic moment for China, a historic moment for Asia, and a victory that will go down in history."

"Gawain, interpreting fairy tales with practical actions."

"A dominant performance, with Gawain firmly in control of the championship."

"Young! Vigorous! Strong! Smart! Humorous! Gao Wen conquered Flushing with his charm."

From AFP to the Associated Press, from ESPN to the BBC, from the Los Angeles Times to the New York Times, all mainstream media were included.

Compared with Asia, the enthusiasm of Europe and the United States is no less, but if you observe carefully, you can notice that the Asian media focuses more on Gawain's creation of history, while the European and American media focuses more on Gawain's sudden appearance.

For the first time in ten years, the Big Four missed the Grand Slam finals, and the result was that the 1995-born Gawain won the championship. What does this mean? The generation of players born after 1990 has always lived in the shadow of the Big Four, and professionals are waiting for the new generation to take over; but now, the younger Gawain has made a brilliant debut, becoming the first player born after 1990 to win the Grand Slam.

What's more, Gao Wen also broke Sampras's record of winning the US Open at the age of 19 years and one month, becoming the youngest US Open men's singles champion in history.

Does this mean that men's professional tennis will gradually enter a new era? Can Gao Wen further disrupt the situation? Can other young players be inspired by Gao Wen's miracle? Especially at the championship award ceremony, Gao Wen's speech was obviously of unparalleled power, both for Asian players and young players.

As a result, all the media were excited, and no one was an exception.

Also, does anyone remember the Los Angeles Times article: "Is the Wild Card Fantasy Miracle About to Happen Again?"

At the time, the Los Angeles Times was ridiculed and mocked by many people. It was generally believed that they were deliberately biased towards Gao Wen just because Gao Wen was studying at the University of California, Los Angeles. But just three days later, the Los Angeles Times' bold conjecture came true, and then the article was dug up by netizens again.

God prophesied!

This time, the Los Angeles Times once again wrote a special report, carefully analyzing Gao Wen's future: "Gao Wen has become a new idol in men's tennis in Asia and even the world, and his commercial value is about to usher in a blowout."

The article states that Gao Wen, who comes from China and grew up in North America, has innate advantages. He defeated Djokovic, one of the Big Four, in his first Grand Slam trip as a dark horse and won the championship, igniting the hope of the new generation of players. His age of being born in 1995 can bring confidence to other players.

At the same time, his personal charm of being witty and humorous off the court and calm and domineering on the court was fully displayed. For the audience, he was not only an unknown person who won the championship unexpectedly, but also a tennis player with clear edges and personality, which is a very rare thing.

After all, this is true for all competitive sports. Only when players have achievements can their personalities and edges be seen. And only when their personalities become distinct can the players’ images resonate with the audience - this is the starting point of commercial value.

Otherwise, how can we explain why Gaudio unexpectedly won the French Open in 2003 and Bartoli unexpectedly won the Wimbledon in 2013, but they failed to create more commercial value? In the eyes of the Los Angeles Times, Glover already has the aura of becoming a superstar. Although his future is still very long and the US Open championship is just a starting point, just like the 2009 US Open champion Del Potro, considering all the factors, Glover does have a "promising future".

“Perhaps, we are witnessing the birth of another billion-dollar superstar, but is it just a billion?”

There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Times once again has high hopes for Coleman. Between the lines, one can deeply feel their appreciation and affirmation of Coleman's charm on the court, and they are eagerly looking forward to Coleman's strong rise to bring a new style to the alternation of old and new in men's tennis and make it more exciting.

To outsiders, it seems incomprehensible that the Los Angeles Times is following him; however, if you think about it carefully, there are already signs of this, starting from the NCAA's Los Angeles Derby, they have been following and witnessing Gao Wen's growth and rise all the way.

While other media were still trying to investigate Gao Wen, the Los Angeles Times had already sensed the signs of impending trouble, which explains why they always stood on Gao Wen's side and had already seen the secret before the semi-finals and finals.

This time, it was the same. So, could the Los Angeles Times' prediction become a reality? After all, there are only a few billionaires in all competitive sports around the world. Could Gao Wen really join the ranks of these superstars? Little by little, we can see the madness of European and American media, which is not inferior to that of Asian media, and then the world is completely ignited.
