Chapter 823: Fear of Chaos

The sun was shining, and the breeze brought laughter and joy from afar, a little bit of laziness, a little bit of comfort, making people unable to help but open their arms and wander around.

Gao Wen was in a good mood. Even when facing the pursuit and interception of thousands of troops, a smile always bloomed on the corners of his mouth, and then a smile flashed in his eyes.

“Remember to brush your teeth.”

He said.

The wind was making a slight sound, but all the reporters around kept their mouths shut. They stared at Gao Wen in astonishment, their brains unable to process for a moment.

Then, Gawain raised his right hand and put his little finger towards his ear, digging around as if he was digging out something dirty, and flicked it out with a look of disgust on his face.

The reporters thought there was something dirty and they all stepped aside. The crowd miraculously made way for a small circle.

Nod and nod.

Smile and gesture.

Gao Wen smiled warmly, nodded to the reporters, said nothing more, and walked calmly.

The tall and straight figure came towards us with the brilliant sunlight, and the shadow cast by its height created an invisible weight that pressed down on us, so that the people surrounding it did not say anything, but reflexively took a small step back, and actually made way for a small path.

Gawain, leave calmly.

Just left like that...just like that...left like that...

A word, an action, a smile.

That's all.

A reporter, with a green face, looked like a fresh graduate, or even an intern. He had obviously never seen such a scene before. Looking at Gawain's mysterious and pretentious response, he was full of questions: Why don't you speak clearly? So, who needs to brush his teeth? Is it that the reporter who asked the question has bad breath? Is Gawain always so mysterious in answering questions? Doesn't Gawain know that pretending to be powerful will be struck by lightning? What are they doing here now? "Idiot!"

"Gawain is mocking Serjan for his bad breath and asking him to brush his teeth!"

A silent complaint came from his ear, and the young reporter realized that he had just spoken out what was in his mind.

It's a bit embarrassing.

But after the embarrassment, the young reporter came to his senses and realized that his doubts were answered. Then he thought about it again and was stunned.

"Is this all right?"

This time, the young reporter did not get a response. He looked up and saw his fellow reporters around him, all of them with excited expressions.

As expected, Gawain was still young, and young people had hot tempers. Facing Seljan's arrogant complaints, the young man responded with a contemptuous attitude.

There was no silence, no hesitation, and no cowardice.

very good!

Really very good!

The reporters did not continue the provocation.

Because Gawain did not mention any names, if they deliberately went to Djokovic or his teammates to sow discord, they might be turned away, and they would lower their own value and equate themselves with those paparazzi who gossip and talk just for some explosive points.

But are the journalists just going to shut up?

That may not be the case.

The media, which is always eager to create chaos, has finally hyped up the "Big Four vs. the New Generation" war again. How could they let it go?

It’s not about shutting up, but they have a smarter way to do it.

Journalists know that there is no need to provoke, just to report extensively:

No names mentioned?

It doesn't matter. Naturally, some people will identify themselves with the person involved, and some people may even jump out and speak nonsense to the media.

After the report is published, they just need to sit back and watch the fight, and it would be a good idea to have some afternoon tea.

The smoke of gunpowder has been lit! The horn has been blown! Meanwhile, in the midsummer, the grass is green and the birds are singing, but the hustle and bustle of Melbourne Park is far more than that.

Men's competition.

The shadow of injury is lingering.

Del Potro hesitated until the last minute, and finally announced his absence due to injury, missing his fourth Grand Slam in a row, which caused a lot of regret.

If anyone is curious about why Del Potro has sparked so much discussion, they can look at a set of data: when Federer, Nadal and Djokovic were ranked first in the world, there were only two players who could beat them more than once.

Andy Murray and Juan Martin del Potro.

Among them, Del Potro has a strong record, with four wins and one loss against Federer, three wins and two losses against Djokovic, and three wins and three losses against Nadal.

Such achievements were all achieved during the period when the Big Three were number one in the world, which also means that Del Potro was not at all inferior to the Big Three in their peak period.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Since Del Potro won the US Open in 2009 at the age of 19, he has been considered the next world number one for a long, long time.

However, in recent years, he first missed most of the 2010 season due to a right wrist injury, and then was on the verge of retirement due to a left wrist injury in 2014.

After the opening of the new season this year, Del Potro officially returned, reached the quarterfinals in Sydney, and was ready to go to Melbourne Park to compete. However, before the draw ceremony, he unfortunately withdrew due to a recurrence of his left wrist injury. This is undoubtedly very regrettable.

In addition to Del Potro, last year's US Open runner-up Cilic also withdrew from the competition. After his breakthrough in Flushing Meath, the rest of Cilic's season was a disaster. After ending with two consecutive losses, he has been absent from the competition and continued to miss the competition at the beginning of the new season.

Similarly, Nadal is still facing injury problems. Although his knee injury has basically recovered, his back injury is still a time bomb.

In addition, there are players like Raonic, Gulbis, Querrey, Murray, etc. who have returned from injuries but still have hidden dangers, which has become a group problem.

Then, just one day before the draw ceremony, Djokovic was scheduled to train at 3 pm, but at the last minute before the training started, he temporarily canceled the training and a series of interviews after the training, which caused countless speculations.

Obviously, Djokovic will not cancel the interview to avoid the attack of "Gawain", because there is no need, so the biggest possibility is:

Injury or illness.

At the beginning of the year, at the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament, Djokovic withdrew from the final due to a fever; then in Doha, Djokovic lost to Karlovic unexpectedly. All signs showed that the world number one's health was not at its best.

This speculation was soon confirmed. An ATP spokesperson said in a telephone interview that the Serbian had been feeling unwell since Wednesday and it continued until Thursday. He canceled training for physical considerations.

Injuries, injuries, and more injuries.

Dark clouds are gathering over the men's singles arena, especially when placed against the backdrop of "the severe challenges faced by the Big Four era", there is an even greater sense of turbulence as if a storm is about to come.

Women's competition.

It is no exception. Although it is not due to injuries, the fierce competition that has continued since the end of last year has reignited the war after the beginning of the new year.

The battle for world number one.

Serena Williams, currently ranked first in the world, is in a precarious position. Other players including Maria Sharapova, Petra Kvitova and Simona Halep all have hopes of reaching the top.

The only way for Serena Williams to defeat all challengers and maintain her position as the world's number one is to make it all the way to the final.

The flames of war are raging.
