Chapter 853: Chasing and intercepting

Four...four consecutive kills?

Just imagine the pain and suffering, it is enough to drive people crazy, and a small number of Australian fans have already had their confidence destroyed:

Rather than Kyrgios advancing to the next round and then being eliminated by Gawain, it would be better for Kyrgios to lose tonight and be done with it. He wouldn't have to continue watching the live broadcast of the next round with anticipation and fear. Instead, he could watch the dog-eat-dog fight between Troicki and Gawain with anticipation. Whoever wins will be happy.

This can be considered a solution.

However, this view quickly angered more netizens and triggered massive criticism on social networks:

This is simply surrendering without a fight!

They should have more backbone! Kill! Regardless of the outcome, they should unconditionally trust Kyrgios and unconditionally choose the path of fighting to the end.

They can only feel relieved by stepping on Gawain's corpse and watching Kyrgios advance to the quarterfinals!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Didn’t the Australian fans see the “story line arranged by God”? It was precisely because Gawain defeated three Australian players in a row that they were more joyful and happy when Kyrgios defeated Gawain and brought the Australian back to the quarterfinals. Everything was arranged.

Kyrgios, the son of luck!

All these factors led to the Australians' return to the quarterfinals! This is the way to witness the historic moment.

Australians should not retreat, should not be timid, should not be afraid, on the contrary, they should be full of fighting spirit.

The air was filled with smoke.

It is visible to the naked eye that on social networks, the home fans are gradually uniting and building up momentum, and the roar of fighting and killing is spreading across the board.

At the same time, Chinese fans did not show any weakness. To be precise, when it came to creating momentum, they had never been afraid of any opponent.

All the while, they were brewing.

Objectively speaking, Gao Wen's luck in Melbourne this year is not the best, but it is not too bad either.

In the 5/8 sub-area, the four seeded players are Gao Wen, Gulbis, Kohlschreiber and L-Meyer.

In terms of past match records, Gao Wen has defeated Gulbis and L-Meyer respectively.

Among them, Gawain and Gulbis have some conflicts. The two are opponents in the round of 16. If the two sides can face off in the fourth round, it will definitely be another hot topic worth looking forward to.

In addition to this, with the potential second-round opponent Krajinovic, it also lacks a bit of impact.

Therefore, although there seem to be many ambushes, the actual threat is still slightly less, and the uncertainty of non-seeded players is greater.

This division is also known as the "youth storm". It depends on whether a dark horse can emerge at this year's Australian Open and defeat last year's biggest dark horse to advance into the quarterfinals.

The result? Gulbis and Krajinovic were both eliminated in the first round, while Kohlschreiber and L. Meyer were both eliminated in the second round. This is equivalent to saying:

In the 5/8 zone, Gao Wen is the only seeded player left, and the other top 32 players in the world have all lost.

It is also because of this that Gao Wen's opponents in the first three rounds are Koggenakis, Gross and Tomic. The highest ranked in the world is Tomic, who is currently ranked 66th.

Even the potential fourth-round opponents, Kyrgios and Troicki, are both unseeded players, so this draw can be described as "smooth sailing".

From the scores of the three games so far, it can be seen that Gao Wen's advancement was very easy and smooth, without encountering any special challenges, and he has already entered the second week of the Grand Slam.

Second time in career.

Due to the lack of fierce confrontation, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans was not mobilized. Relatively speaking, they generally believed that these victories were taken for granted.

In other words, the competition itself lacks discussion value.

The final situation is that none of Gao Wen's games entered the hot search list, and the overall discussion was significantly lower than the US Open.

Of course, the live broadcast ratings and overall discussion of the Australian Open are still higher than those of the US Open. This year's attention has indeed skyrocketed, easily surpassing previous years.

Unexpectedly, due to a series of twists and turns, the sign-in list presented a completely different look.

After today's game, the excitement of the off-field highlights easily overshadowed the game itself. Facing the boos from the audience, Gao Wen's calm response sparked heated discussions.

The 45-second video of Gao Wen winning the match point swept the entire Internet in just 30 minutes. The discussion was bustling with incredible energy.

This time, Chinese fans were finally excited because Gao Wen once again made it to the second week of the Grand Slam, and the way Gao Wen advanced was also very exciting.

In one fell swoop, it became a hot search! Here, Australian fans are shouting that Kyrgios is the chosen one, stepping on Gawain's shoulders to advance to the quarterfinals.

Over there, the cheers of Chinese fans came rushing in. Tomic was a helpless loser, Kyrgios was just a bluffing empty-shell talker. If Gawain could defeat Kyrgios once, he could defeat Kyrgios twice, three times and countless times.

"Come on!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Fans of both sides hold the same idea, refusing to give in and confronting each other head-on. As a result, the popularity of this year's Australian Open has been rising steadily, repeatedly setting new records.

Even! The surging heat wave broke through the constraints of the network, and the blood of major media reporters also boiled, and a popcorn drama of pursuit and interception was staged in Melbourne Park, pushing the heat wave since the start of the Australian Open to a new peak in one fell swoop.

First, Federer was eliminated unexpectedly, and then Gao Wen defeated three local players in a row.

On the fifth day of competition, the focus really reached a climax.

Press Conference Room No. 1 was packed with people.

When Gao Wen walked into the press conference room, he was instantly swallowed up by the surging silver waves in the entire venue, and his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Outside the door, Tobias was still the only one keeping him company.

It was the first time for Agassi to join Gawain's team. He was not familiar with the procedures and was dragged by Sampras to the training ground to prepare.

Agassi kept looking back, his eyes still a little uneasy, "Pete, is it really okay? Aren't you worried that the Australian media will eat him alive?"

Sampras laughed happily as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "I think the object of your worry may be reversed."

Upside down? What upside down? Agassi was confused.

Sampras' eyes were full of smiles, and he bumped his old friend's shoulder. "You know what Gawain said? Attending a press conference is a kind of relaxation, just like dessert after a meal. It is also a post-match entertainment activity."

Agassi: ...

He was almost choked by his own saliva, revealing an expression of doubt about life. He looked at Sampras blankly, unable to understand the meaning of his words.

Sampras seemed to see his own expression at that time, and he laughed out loud, revealing a satisfied expression:

He now somewhat understood the meaning of Gawain's words, and looking at Agassi's stunned expression did relieve the pressure.

The fifth update.
