Chapter 731 Threatening Journalists
The sound of chuckles and whispers surged in the press conference room, and the corners of the reporters' mouths couldn't help but rise as they exchanged glances.
It is obvious that Gao Wen’s press conferences are always full of highlights and make people happy. Who can refuse it?
The same is true for the next question.
"Gao Wen, what if you make it to the semi-finals? This means that you will become the first player in history to make it to the semi-finals as a substitute."
"At the same time, your opponent in the semi-finals is likely to be the top seed Djokovic. If this happens, it will be your third encounter this season."
"You've won the first two times, so how do you view this meeting? What do you think your chances of reaching the final are?"
The problems came one after another, becoming more and more intense and brutal.
So much so that Gawain raised his hands and gently pressed them down, as if he was signaling his pet dog to sit down.
"Calm down. Calm down."
"I have just finished a group match, and this question has already crossed over to the finals. Fortunately, you didn't directly ask me how I felt about winning the championship."
"call……"
As Gao Wen wiped his sweat and exhaled, the reporters at the scene laughed, and the atmosphere, which had been tense before, relaxed again.
At the ATP year-end finals, there are many cases where substitute players make temporary appearances, after all, injuries and accidents are difficult to predict, but overall, the performance is mediocre.
Generally speaking, when substitute players come on the field, they are often already burdened with a "losing record", one or even two games; and substitute players are originally fire-fighting captains. The "backwardness" in the world rankings largely reflects the overall performance of the season, coupled with the chaos of being appointed in an emergency.
Therefore, it is indeed difficult for substitute players to perform well.
In particular, the overall performance of male players is relatively stable and strong, and the difficulty for substitute players to create an upset in the year-end finals is also rising.
It can be seen from the historical record that, up to this year, players who came on as substitutes have never been able to make it to the semi-finals.
And now, Gawain has gained a glimmer of hope, a very, very faint glimmer of hope. Even if Federer beats Murray in two sets, it will still be a slim chance that the winner will be decided by a small score, which is even more difficult than winning the Paris Masters last week.
but!
The existence of possibility is a fact, which is also the reason why reporters are excited——
Are we going to witness another historic breakthrough? Moreover, if this happens, then Gawain's opponent in the semi-finals will most likely be Djokovic, unless Berdych beats Djokovic in straight sets. Only in this way will Gawain face Berdych in the semi-finals, which means...
"Gawain vs. Djokovic" is being played for the second week in a row! No extra words are needed. From the eyes of the reporters in front of me, I can clearly feel the urgency and excitement, so much so that the air is surging.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gao Wen was still smiling and walking leisurely, as if he didn't feel the urgent pressure that filled the whole place at all.
"It would be an honour for me to continue playing at the O2 Arena."
clever.
Gao Wen did not respond to the semi-finals or the competition, but instead focused on the O2 Arena. If there is no time limit, it could be this year, next year or the year after next. He always looks forward to returning here to play.
Quietly, Gao Wen changed the concept and avoided the focus with little effort.
"At the same time, this also means that I still have new work to complete, starting from scratch, and nothing will change in the future."
There is no "Djokovic", no "qualifying from the group", and he just calmly returns to himself and focuses diligently on training and competition.
Such an unwavering attitude is impeccable.
As he spoke, Gao Wen showed off his biceps and easily solved all the difficult problems.
Seeing that the reporters were still getting restless, Gao Wen added another sentence.
"I'm very, very jealous of your work, so don't push me."
On-site reporter: …
"Gao Wen, are you threatening the reporter?"
“I’m expressing my admiration for the work of journalists.”
“…”
Although they didn't want to admit it, the fact was that the reporters were still helpless in front of Gao Wen.
What’s even more interesting is that the reporters don’t actually hate Gao Wen. Not only do they not hate him, but they often express a little appreciation for him in their comments.
At least, compared to the well-behaved and calm Kei Nishikori next door, Gao Wen is much more interesting.
It's no wonder. The surging crowd in Press Conference Room No. 1 was already more lively than that in Press Conference Room No. 2. Then one could continuously hear laughter and applause from Press Conference Room No. 1, just like a talk show. Gradually, gradually, the crowd began to flow, making Press Conference Room No. 1 more and more crowded.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When Kei Nishikori finished his press conference, the room seemed less crowded.
Undoubtedly, this is also a fresh landscape in men's professional tennis.
Here, Gao Wen and Kei Nishikori were being surrounded and blocked by reporters. It seemed that almost all the sports reporters in the city of London had gathered together.
Over there, the games at the O2 Stadium were still in full swing. The first match was the men's doubles match, and the other singles match in Group B was the last match of the day. The main event was -
“Global home court” Federer VS “real home court” Murray.
But no one knows which player the audience at the O2 Stadium will side with tonight. Moreover, will the battle between the giants, which has been waited and waited for, be able to meet the fans' earnest expectations? Everyone is watching.
Not only Agassi and Sampras appeared in the VIP box, but two young players, Gao Wen and Timtrov, also appeared in the box.
Tonight, the O2 Arena was packed and there were no empty seats in the stands. Tobias asked the organizer and was able to get a seat in the VIP box, allowing Gao Wen and his friends to watch the game live.
But Kei Nishikori seemed to refuse Gao Wen's invitation in order to avoid suspicion.
Kei Nishikori stayed in the player lounge and watched the live broadcast on the TV screen. He probably didn't want reporters to think that he was trying to find out about his opponent, or maybe he was in a state of confusion and needed some space to think calmly.
In addition to them, the O2 Stadium was also star-studded, with many top stars from Chelsea and Arsenal appearing in the stands:
No one wants to miss the confrontation between Federer and Murray.
However--
It was very disappointing, from the beginning to the end.
It only took fifty-six minutes, "6:0", "6:1", and the game ended.
It was a completely one-sided sweep and Federer won easily.
Throughout the match, Federer had a 100% first serve scoring rate and did not give away any break points; Murray gave away seven break points in his own service games, but only saved one, and lost six service games in total. He lost eleven games in a row, and the outcome was decided in a flash.
That’s it?
